Ummmmm, when did Germany capture Iceland?  Look at the big map in the video.

LOL...after looking at it closely...that is strange.


Still can't wait...my Marines.

I was wondering the same thing.

Ahhh good, I was wondering when that was going to air.  I need to remember to sign up for HBO again.

I know that the Russians did in Red Storm Rising but never the Germans.

I'm sure it is well-done and will be a great success, but I really do wish Tom Hanks and company would turn their considerable talents to tell the story of the 8th AF, the 5th AF, RAF, or Luftwaffe airmen with the same intensity and realism that they devote to the soldiers.   It would be incredible, and there are so many dramatic events to be portrayed in the air war - Ploesti, Schweinfurt, the air battles over New Guinea, defense of the Reich, etc.   Would even love to see an even-handed treatment of the AVG...

Go to frame 1:00 and see the other major mistake they made.  lol

Perhaps they assumed Germany had Iceland patrolled or something after the Fw 200 incident during the shipment of 1st FG's P-38's to the UK.

I was just think about that.  With the German submarines that pray on cargo ships in that area.  But look at the Africa map.  I think they over did it as far as how much Germany occupied.

I watched a 30 minute "Making of The Pacific" on HBO the other night. It's basicly 3 different stories that will follow 3 different Marines before, during and after the war. It's not all battle like Band of Brothers. They wanted to show how the war affected these men and their families. The largest segment (4 episodes) will be Peleliu.

Peleliu.  The most bloodies battle that we fought in all the landings in the pacific.

That map accurately reflects the WW2 American belief of "danger zones" under the control or influence of the enemy.  Not all military intelligence is accurate.
