Watched The Liberator on Netflix, based on the combat experiences of the 157th Regiment, 45th ID in WWII. Pretty good, overall.
Get past the first episode which makes a big deal about how the men fought together but couldn't go to the same bar together - you think it's going to be all revisionist "systemic racism" stuff at first. But it picks up a lot after that and episodes 2, 3 and 4 are pretty darn good, really good in places.
It's done in a form of rotoscoping or animation over live action and sometimes that takes away from the impact since it reduces the figures to cartoons; I also spotted a few military inaccuracies. But that's nit picking, don't let any of that get in the way of just watching the story. I give it four stars at least.
i finally figured it was about time to watch "the Liberator" on the 45 regiment during WWII. It had specific impact to me, as of a certain member of the 45th, a well known figure at the time, broughty home a schutzenfest rifle picked up as they went into germany.. beautiful single shot rifle and in a off caliber, has silver enlay logos on buttstock with innitials, whose i have never been able to find out. it sat in a closet for many years due to the ammunition question, until my grubby paws got on it. i got the brass, lead bullets, dies, and could load for it, but have never shot it. sure on my mind after watching the movie.
