Trivia
A huge tactical mistake the Germans made on Bastogne was when they would make an attack, they would attack at only one place and with small forces, usually company sizes. They also had no idea that the Americans had little or no ammo left for their rifles and artillery pieces. Had they known this, they could have easily run over this position.

Goofs
Yet another instance of a wounded solider being given morphine and the syrette being discarded. Whenever a morphine syrette was administered in the field the empty syrette was pinned to the solider's collar to prevent overdose, that way the doctors and nurses at the aid station and battalion hospital knew what dosage had been administered in the field.

Quotes
Cpl. Eugene Roe: Oh Lord, grant that I shall never seek so much to be consoled as to console, to be understood as to understand, or to be loved as to love with all my heart.

Rewatch, 9.8/10

This is literally one of the best reasons why this show is absolutely a must-watch. To get it out if the wa, my favorite things about this episode were the Protagonist, the storyline, and the acting, and my favorite character in this episode was Eugene Rue. This was literally way too close to being perfect. I love the dynamic between Eugene and the nurse, and the ending literally says it all. When I first watched the first seven episodes of the series, I thought the seventh one was the best, so I am gonna have to review it next. I haven't seen the very last episode yet, so after I am done with that, I will review it and that will be the last review of the series.
