8/10
Great Story
7 January 2024
I am enjoying this series. The uniforms, the vehicles and the conditions reflect well on a WW2 occupied city. The acting is very good . A few things bothered me (being a historian) is that you are always wondering who is next to be arrested and then helped to escape ?? The most ridiculous scenario was when Marysia becomes a chocolate vendor and ventures inside the prison complex . Warsaw was much tighter controlled and far more restrictive than depicted. Gasoline was restricted and vehicles were taken by the Germans-so trucks being available for other than normal activities is just not real. Food was always in short supply, so hearing "Are you Hungry" "You should eat something" is really ridiculous as people were always hungry. The death penalty was frequently handed out by the occupiers and escapes from custody would not likely happen. Witold wanders around everywhere with not a concern and yet with most Poles being sent to Germany for labor it is amazing he has not been fingered. Warsaw was very dangerous for everyone living there. The women seem to have no end of clothes to wear inspite of moving around with one small suitcase. Anyway, I realize it is only a story and overalll quite well done.
