Talk about a fly on the wall! I was absolutely spellbound, and to just think that I was privy to the inner meetings that led up to this great disaster. The acting was superb, and although, I couldn't say whether the parts were played with accuracy, they were certainly played with an intelligence and real life perfection that would have put German high command to shame.
