I say they make a series about a guy who fights in the ETO, including D-day, operation huskey, ect. then he goes home after his tour of duty, and by some error in the draft he is enlisted again and forced to go to the PTO. you get the best of both worlds, we shall call it P/ETO or PETO

I think they ruined the original BoB by adding a lot of unnecessary stuff that wasn't even in the book. They spent too much time on the whole medic thing,and the stuff about Blythe,and even the full episode on the "concentration camp". All that stuff got little more than a page or two, in some cases a little more than a paragraph.

One page does not = a whole episode I agree. Perhaps some creative license was taken by the producers because they felt it was important. It was a very important part of the war. I didn't feel it ruined the series for me I still enjoy it very much.

Sure,what happened to the poor guy sucked,but he was barely a mention in the book.

Sure,what happened to the poor guy sucked,but he was barely a mention in the book. In reading "Biggest Brother" it mentions how Blythe's end was actually fabricated, as the producers had no idea what had happened to him after the war had ended; they just assumed he had died. In fact he reenlisted in the Army after the war, fought in Korea and earned the title of Master Parachutist. His granddaughter or granddaughter? I believe called the producers afterward to voice her open outrage that her grandfathers memory was so tarnished. Nick
