@sommecourt How proud you must be Paul, it was an excellent piece, she was articulate, passionate and so incredibly knowledgeable, and should certainly consider her own podcast.
@Gribbler79@sommecourt@tomhanks I still fail to see why the story can’t be told without constantly attacking our RAF veterans. Yes like in any war there are tensions. The narrative around bombing accuracy isn’t representative of the facts. Alas I will keep trying 👍🤞
@Gribbler79@sommecourt@tomhanks Thank goodness I’m not alone . Pointless nasty jibes at our veterans who lost their lives in their thousands. Even during the scene when downed pilots are walked through a bombed German town, a airman finds the presence of mind to criticize the RAF , it often not in context.
@NealRussell17@sommecourt To top it off, a navigator with debilitating nausea that wasn’t picked up in basic training,however remains operational. I think my disappointment is genuinely fueled by how excited I was for the arrival of this series 😞
@NealRussell17@sommecourt Apologies but it’s dreadful and such a missed opportunity, straight away portraying the Brits as awful, singling that down to the “ English “ senior officers hold the rank of Major brawling in pubs, discharging firearms in a block to start a bike race….
@dan_of_steele @SteveBroughto11@sommecourt@AppleTV I get the tension thing, but why does this need to be the narrative in this piece , the portrayal of Brits in Band of brothers was similar, tank commanders portrayed as complete buffoons, completely disrespectful to the royal tank regiment guys
@WeHaveWaysPod I was completely absorbed with this. I listened with pride , especially when HMS Sheffield was mentioned. My Father served on her in the 50’s . Thank you for a great piece.
