BIG HEADLINE posted:It appears she was able to pass as French and trained in IMINT. But that what the Resistance (and French refugees who went to work with the SOE) was for, which makes those scenes all the more superfluous, because It's been a few years since I read Crosby's memoir (A Wing and a Prayer: The "Bloody 100th" Bomb Group of the U.S. Eighth Air Force in Action Over Europe in World War II, and it's a good read), but iirc he never actually knew what she did. Just that she wouldn't talk about it. And that she was the first woman he met who could take a shot of liquor without flinching. Kind of weird that the show changed her name and made her an undercover spy rather than just using the real woman as written in Crosby's memoir, because that would serve the exact same purpose in the show without making things up.

Dang. McNally, if only you had some experience with US Army tactics and/or military history. Edit: but yeah, even if there weren't a rational explanation for sticking with the tank as a static defensive fighting position loaded with guns and resistant to small arms, it's a movie and it wouldn't be fun to watch the cast slink away into the night.
