this be an excellent series and be still relevant today . it tackle social issue such a abortion and the right to die ( think of rise ) and the woman role in society as well a racial issue and and those issue be still so relevant today . it be extremely well make and pay great attention to detail . the director even go to the trouble of turn off the air conditioning in the studio to get a realistic effect and this make the actor very irritable but give a realistic view of what life must have be like under those condition . i have all three series on dvd and watch them about once a year . i thoroughly enjoy the entire series and would recommend it to anyone interested in world war two .
