Fascinating series into how WRENS were used in WW2 to analyse the tactics used by the Kreigsmarine during the Battle of the Atlantic. Initially scorned by the naval hierarchy they soon proved their ability bringing about the destruction of the German Wolfpacks that almost caused our downfall in the early 40s.
The only criticism is that the models they use during the games are those of nuclear powered subs.
Well worth a watch. What

I won't be watching another episode having cringed at the first. A bit too much " made for television".
Gave it another go last night. Still as bad.
CGI was like something created by a sixth-form project, the actor playing Doenitz was at least 20 years too young for the role, and apparently the U-boats would travel on the surface alongside a convoy in daylight and not be spotted.
A good opportunity ruined.

Good points all. I just got fixated by the boomers they used for models not to look at it a lot closer.
