True, it misses the fact that all decisions would have been made in Germany and Japan. The Allies would not have surrendered without ultimate proof Germany had the Bomb. And Hitler would not have hesitated on using it against the Russians where he was losing the war. Then maybe London. It ignores the capability of getting a bomb to the US.
In all it's watchable, but too concentrated, making the truer, bigger picture disappear.
Any resistance without a major Nation funding and supplying it would have failed. And the all important film is rubbish. How does anyone make such a film at the time, with occupation forces breathing down their necks. Look at the achievements and retribution of the real Resistance in France, Czech and Japanese atrocities in china.
Once a film or series delves into the real world, it has to be there. Are there any references to Concentration Camps in the US? I saw one part about Japanese threatening someone with a concentration camp, because his Grandmother was Jewish.
Only on the Second Episode, forgive me if all I suggest comes later.
Any departure from real facts in History Style films and programs, annoy me. Such as Saxons living in Castles or bathing in Roman Baths, and as for them swallowing the water in the bath.
