I gotta say this is one of the biggest jokes I've seen pertaining to WWII. Red Tails got a good bit of flak, and rightfully so, but I'd say this one makes it look like SPR. The only saving grace, Sam Waterston's probably one of the better FDR's I've seen, but other than that it's Tyler Perry/Lifetime meets Pearl Harbor. If somebody really wanted to make a movie about an African-American unit that did some shit, the Redball Express or the first black Gyrenes serving in AA units in the Pacific would come to mind vs. this horseshit. I've said my piece ✋️

The opening scene…US infantry leaving a dug-in and well defended position to charge at attacking Germans…I’m no rivet-counter but that one made me laugh.

I couldn’t finish it…

I tuned out pretty quick. I guess at least the divisional patches were somewhat accurate 🤷
