Wow. As a former WWII reenactor (and a Marine Corps veteran), I'm sad to say I developed a habit of nit-picking these WWII shorts. This one, however, was unbelievably well-done in every regard: the acting, the uniforms, and the script were all well above par. Frankly, the finest WWII short I've ever seen. Thank you.

Edit: I'd also like to say what a fantastic 10 minutes this really was, you gents did a great job. I'd really love a Band of Brothers/The Pacific style series based on the British involvement of WW2. I respect our American allies for what they did but as a British citizen it'd be nice to see on film what my ancestors did for a change, from the start of the war in 1939 to its end in 1945, visualised in a way that it hasn't really be done before. I know there are films and shows but as far as I'm aware they're all quite old with the exception of a few from the top of my head such as Dunkirk, the imitiation game or 1917 which is of course set in WW1. If anyone has any suggestions please fire away 😊
