I once read about an incident where a Luftwaffe bomber did slip into a USAAF bomber formation unobserved while they were on such a mission and a formation of Luftwaffe bombers followed the formation, attacked, and caused a lot of damage. Apparently Goering himself was involved.
Interesting plot using a coded music recording to transmit spy information. But this method was first used in the 1958 British WW2 Spy Trriller "The Two Headed Spy" starring Jack Hawkins.
In my opinion one of the best TV shows ever made.Must have been a huge hit with the veterans back in the day.Oh they probably ripped it apart about the facts but inside I am sure they loved it...reminiscing and all.The acting was top notch...The writing amazing...Damn I love this show..
The war had been over for a decade and a half almost two decades. The men that fought in it were raising families and still raising a little hell in new suburbs across the country. These guys that grew up in the depression and entered adulthood in the military found themselves watching TV with their family with a couple shows and maybe a movie a week about the war. Some drama, some comedy, and much of it picked apart and termed offensive to veterans of the war.
Watching these series and now just learning about these "stragglers" I wonder how often these actually took place? And wondering how the Nazis got their hands on B-17s?
good episode, however I thought it strange that she would announce to everyone that he won BEFORE she told him, as maybe he wouldn't want others to know (I wouldn't). It should havw been his choice to tell other people, not her
Lansing was dismissed ( real reason ) because he was a Heavy smoker. The insurance rates were too high for the studio. It was a 2 million $ $$, start up. Saved $$ by hiring a non-smoker. Quality suffered. Lansing COD was lung cancer. God bless him.
Thanx from the bottom of my heart for showing this series. My favourite series of all time. Major crush on the General, or maybe just the actor. STILL!

Agree with many comments about this episode and series. I have very fond memories sitting in the dark watching this very episode with my Dad, who was a WWII vet, in front of our 19 inch black and white tv.
