Mitchem was that Naval Officer! He was marvelous and walked and conducted himself to perfection! My older brother was a Marine Officer of very high ranking and the whole mannerism and ability to maintain such control and remain always in charge was always remarkable in my brother . Perhaps this and that my father fought with the US Navy on a Battleship in WW11 has a lot to do with my being held captive by this series. Both are deceased but we’re remarkable men.

I don't think this is true at all. I feel like people underestimate and generalize younger generations far too much. It's unfortunate. I was born in 1991 and I saw this series for the first time maybe 5-6 years ago and it quickly became one of my favorite shows of all time! WW2 is my favorite era in history and this show did such a great job of putting the main characters into relevant situations that actually happened in history. I swear, Forest Gump had to have taken creative ideas from this series/book. Forest Gump book came out 3 years after this TV series did and it uses a lot of the same type of plot elements to put Forest in similar situations as Pug Henry. The production and direction of this show are absolute masterclasses. It has so much depth and scope. The best thing about it in my opinion by far is the character development. I don't know if I can recall another tv series, movie, or any form of media that did such an incredible job of character development. Maybe that's because it's based on books? I'm not sure, but all of this is to say that anyone from any generation can enjoy this series. It has all the basic building blocks of an amazing story. The problem isn't that younger generations wouldn't enjoy it, more so that they wouldn't be exposed to it. It's an old show that is criminally underrated because it doesn't get any modern-day push or advertisement.

I had an uncle trained in military intelligence as a German spy for WW2 just before it ended > who at last minute did not go there 🤔 but went to the Korean War etc. Since then > I had a father in US Airforce & two brothers in other mililtary services & a couisens , & so forth being from a big family since then. I have been to Norfolk & ships& shipping yards & on retired subs & in B-52's WW2 planes as a child & older. I can see & smell it all in real time with this WW2 series. I ❤ this series - especially, now while living on the edge of WW3. Thanks for showing us this exactly just before December 7th, 2023. " It's a bad thing, to go to war > a very bad thing." ❤ Indeed.

I recall this series well. I even read Wouk’s book. For its time, this mini-series was the best historical fiction on tv, back in the day when there were just three choices. The work has not aged well, in my opinion. My impression of the wooden acting, unfortunately, seems to have been spot on. What bothered me then and worse now, was the intransigent bull-headedness of Aaron and his niece. I am aware that there were Jews who felt Naziism would pass. There were many more who judged those devils correctly.

Not only that people who are in the know are telling Natalie and Aaron to leave and leave now and still they ignore that good advice. Even Natalie's friend who works in the foreign service is telling her to leave.

How many got away? There were six million plus who didn’t. Even when Natalie and her uncle tried every obstacle was put in their way because the Nazi’s wanted Jastrow for propaganda purposes. Yes, many got away, but just as many who tried desperately never did escape. Judging people because they didn’t get out is really not fair.

Chop out Rhoda and Natalie and you have a fine two-episode film.

AND Rhoda. Your husband out in war and you're carrying on with the mutual family friend.

Never understood why churchhill couldn't walk over to the American ship instead of Rosenvelt walking over to the British ship. 1 Rosenvelt can barely walk and he's an honorable man to use the chair. 2 it's the British that was asking for the Americans help, into winning ww2. Idk it's would've been the Respectable thing to do on churchhill behalf.

Two of my fave WWII movies are The Enemy Below with Mitchum and Curt Jürgens and Run Silent Run Deep with Clark Gable and Burt Lancaster. Other fave sub movie: Das Boot.

I liked the cast of War and Remembrance much better. Curtis and Cobert were amazing, as always. Wouks was a fantastic author.

Agreed. Especially with Byron and Natalie. Jane Seymour and Hart Bochner have much better chemistry and - in my opinion - play the parts better than JMV and MacGraw. The age difference is also less off-putting. And the Hitler in that one was more convincing - felt less like a chatacature than the guy in WoW.

Today’s media would have complained if “onward Christian soldier” were played today by anybody, especially the military.

My mom was a 21 yo nurse in San Francisco in June of 1942. She met Dad, a sailor on a destroyer put in battle damaged repairs. They were married 3 weeks later and were together for another 60. This last scene with Natalie and Bryson on the pier, the look, touches, and intensity of the kisses were seen everywhere. Mom talked to me about how that felt. Talked about how much she loved her husband and the fear she lived with force the 3 years while his ship fought in the Pacific. Her wedding night and his departure captured this perfectly. It's an amazing film.

She sat next to FDR, on his left to be exact, due to precedence. In the scene, the Sec. of State would be the most important male guest, and he would sit on Mrs. FDR's right.

@~1:06:15, there was a great line from some nazi tank officer about the impossibility of conquering the ussr, "we have done things never before done in war, we could and did conquer 50 km of territory a day for days on end and yet no matter how much we took there was always thousands more km to go."

Another error: Chronology - At the dinner with the Roosevelts they get a message about the Bismarck. The next scene has a date of 2 May, 1941. The Bismarck didn’t leave Germany until 19 May and was sunk on 27 May.

Pug is clueless about Palmer and Rhoda.

Good series, some inaccuracies, and the naval fleet models were a bit obviously shot in an oversized bath tub, but expected for a series made in the early 80s.

Dear Sir, I am very grateful for all of your hard work in uploading these video's. I am thoroughly enjoying Herman Wouk's in-depth depiction of war, and what our fathers and grandfathers went through for us and the Jews They believed in God, honor, values, commitment, hard work and fighting for the American dream. Seeing and trying to understand Hitler's hate for the Jewish people is unequivocally appalling. This video, and by the way, true story, is a Masterpiece! Thank you.

John Dehner’s portrayal of Ernest King as a gruff, irascible old salt is accurate as far as it goes. But King was much more than this: An exceptional strategist and bureaucratic infighter, “Ernie” had Roosevelt’s ear and respect. He was also an epic womaniser who saw the Pacific theater-not entirely incorrectly-as fundamentally a race war. These people were human, and Ernest King embodied extremes of the best and worst of us. Perhaps the true greatness of the so-called Greatest Generation is that it wasn’t so great-it was made up of normal human beings who rose to the occasion.

King was also responsible for the German success with operation drumbeat. His stubborn hard-headedness and his irrational hatred of the British was responsible for the loss of dozens of ships and the deaths of hundreds of sailors. Of all Roosevelt's choices for military chiefs, King was clearly the worst.

Yes, he looks like him, talks like him, really believable that it isFDR!
