Band of Brothers
A series that ran for six seasons and covered the fictional ww2. Covers ordinary soldiers that rise to fame, gets promoted, some times demoted, become prisoners, die in combat, get injured
Season 1(1939-1940) covered the buildup to war, Germany invades Poland and one main character dies during the siege of the capital. The season ends with a cliffhanger and the Brittish character surrounded at Dunkirk
Season 2(1940-1941) Resolves the Dunkirksituation, Brittish pilot becomes a big hero, but also suffer much losses. During the season we see tensions start to grow between Germany and Soviet union. The last episode called Barbarossa ends as the guns start to fire at the Soviet positions.
Season 3(1941-1942) The season is action and the pace is is fast. The quick pace between the episode Tora Tora Tora that is in the middle of the season during sweeps and got high ratings and five next episodes until the Singapore episode had negative rewievs becauce noone thought anyone would be able to take all of this in this short time. The season ended in two parts without a cliff hanger called Midway. Some called the episode a bit to much that the Americans could take out so many carriers in the way they did.
Season 4(1942-1943) If season three was much Europe this season is divided between the horrors in Russia and the jungles of the South Pacific. The talk after the episodes were how grapic the battles were shown. The episode ended with both sides getting ready for a large battle at Kursk. The Japanese character dies in the end of a big campaign in Gudacanal while two US characters are wounded in the same battle
Season 5(1943-1944) A season with big battles. The first three episodes is called Kursk and was thought to be the biggest battle anyone could film, but the season also had a large invasion on Normandy and several islands in the pacific. The last episode followed the airborne troops as they started a operation called Market-Garden
Season 6(1944-1945) Resolves the war. The epic struggle comes to an end in a warntorn city in the middle of Germany. The German infantryman that had survived up to the end and rose to command a batallion dies in one of the last battles as he saves a group of refugees. The final episode show the begining of the atomic age as two nukes are droped and the series end with Japan surrender and the camera pans out from the ship and fade to black. The season got criticizm for the portrayl of the death camps as nobody thought humans could do that.
One of the highest rated series ever on the AH-network. Multiple awards in every season.

HAPPY DAYS- British mini-series about T.E. Lawrence & his band of guerrilla fighters who, from 1940-
1946 during WWII, fought the occupying German forces in Britain. This period has been sardonically
called in Britain "the happiest of days"- hence this program's title.
Lawrence had been severely hurt in a motorcycle accident in 1935 but though wheelchair-bound for
three years, he eventually fully recovered. In May 1940 Lawrence's friend, Winston Churchill, appointed
Lawrence, now 51, as a special military advisor to the government. When German troops stormed into
Britain in September, 1940, Lawrence could often be seen right @ the front, doing all he could to try
to drive the invaders out. When that proved futile, Lawrence re-joined Churchill, & was @ his side
when the PM was killed fighting the Germans in London itself(the scenes of Churchill meeting his end
on the very steps of 10 Downing Street are unforgettable). Lawrence escaped, to gather around him
his most unusual little band. Among them were a distant relative named Orde Wingate, a little-
known British novelist named George Orwell, & Randolph, a son of Winston Churchill's who rather
liked the sauce but was also a pretty good soldier. Lawrence & Co. also had a rather surprising ally.
Before the war Oswald Mosley had been a prominent British fascist but he found the loss of British
independence too tough to swallow. So while publicly taking a prominent post in the German occup-
action government on the side he funneled information to Lawrence & did all he could to help him.
Lawrence's band was astonishingly successful(after the war George Marshall, the commander of the
American Army to Europe, stated it tied down TWO whole German divisions). Sadly Lawrence would
not live to see the end of the war, as the Germans finally caught him & tortured him to death in
July 1944(HAPPY DAYS of course changed this to Lawrence bravely sacrificing himself to save a
colleague). Lawrence's men battled on until that day in February 1946 when the Americans dropped
the atomic bomb on Berlin, killing Hitler & ending the war. Today Britons regard Lawrence as their
greatest national hero(in a 1999 poll naming the Briton of the millennium Lawrence easily beat out Shakespeare for the top spot).
The series starred Daniel Craig as Lawrence, Patrick Stewart as Wingate, Colin Firth as Orwell,
Benedict Cumberbatch as Randolph, Jim Parsons as Mosley, Michael Caine as Rudolf Hess, the
Governor General of occupied Britain, Jim Broadbent as Winston Churchill, &(as a completely
invented, fictional character)Jennifer Garner as an American nurse who joined up with
Lawrence when her husband, a British soldier, was killed.
NOTE: I know the subject of whether Sealion could have worked has been thrashed TO DEATH on
this site, with the general consensus being that it working is strictly ASB. But read IF BRITAN HAD
FALLEN by Norman Longmate(1972). The book explores this question, with a section(chapters 5-7)
telling in an all-too plausible manner how Germany IOTL could indeed have invaded & conquered
Britain in 1940(and remember Britain did win The Battle of Britain by a very narrow margin).
Oh yes, full disclosure: I drew on Longmate for my descriptions of when the German invasion
took place, & where & how Winston Churchill was killed.
