Trivia:
Logan Ramsey who played isolationist Senator Ike Lacouture and Warren Henry's father-in-law, is actually Logan Ramsey, the son of Logan Ramsey Sr. who sent out one of the more famous messages in history: "Air raid Pearl Harbor. This is no drill". moreGoofs:
Miscellaneous: The series takes place in the late 1930s. At the horse race in Italy, people are wearing Adidas shoes and 1970s clothing. Most of the women in Warsaw have 1970s and 1980s dresses and hairstyles; only Ali McGraw and other speaking characters are in period clothing. At Warren's wedding, all of the bridesmaids have late '70s/early '80s dresses and feathered hair. moreQuotes:
Wolf Stoller: There are certain conversations that have to be forgotten. And in Germany we have a phrase for such delicate matters. We say, "under four eyes."Victor 'Pug' Henry: I believe I've heard that phrase.
Wolf Stoller: What transpires next is under four eyes. You and Armin had a conversation about this lend-lease bill. Did he make sense to you? You prefer not to say, eh? Of course. You are a diplomat.
Victor 'Pug' Henry: I'm a gunnery expert, misplaced in diplomacy, and hoping to get the hell out of it.
Wolf Stoller: A man of honor wants to serve on the field.

Wolf Stoller: Would you?
Victor 'Pug' Henry: No, thank you.
Wolf Stoller: That you sympathize with England is only natural. I do. I love England. After all, I spent two years at Oxford. But we know that in your Army and Navy, there is serious opposition to this lend-lease giveaway. Which will strip you of armaments, by the way. No, in war plans, you will be in a key position to foster this wise and patriotic opposition. Frankly, Germany needs friends in influential positions, to offset the Morgenthaus and the Lehmans.
Victor 'Pug' Henry: Herr Stoller...

I've seen the series when first transmitted by the Greek TV some years ago.
I liked the unusual account of the complete WWII era through the lives of various people, involved in it in different ways. Tight storytelling, action, romance, suspense, everyday life, everything is in.
A real treat!
Pity it's not available in VHS-PAL
