The series doesn't reflect nor does it emphasize all the trouble the Allied army had trying to engage what probably was the greatest army on earth, the German Army. The British trying to secure a city Caen that was supposed to be taken a few days after D-Day that wasn't secured until well into July and August!!! Watch "As trumpets fade" a movie about the grinding up of the 28th Infantry Division called after that battle "The Bloody Bucket" that's a perspective on the war in Europe few see or want to hear!
All the best
