That...was intense. Sarah Myers and Luke Truxal are back for Episode 3 in what could be called A Very Bad Day over Germany. We'll set the tone of the episode, give you the backstory, then get into the nitty gritty with a detailed analysis of what we saw and what we didn't in Episode 3. We talk about the challenges of flying, such as the concept of 'max effort' and the impact of cloud cover. We also highlight the bloody and chaotic nature of the battle, as well as the difficult choices faced by the pilots and commanders involved. The Luftwaffe's situation in 1943 is discussed, highlighting the heavy losses they are facing. The decision of pilots and crews to abandon their planes and parachute out is explored, along with the various outcomes they may face. The condition of the planes after the raid is a concern, with some being damaged beyond repair. We finish by talking about how dark the series is about to get.
