What I really enjoyed about the series is the depiction of the invasion of Poland. Wouk and the series stayed true to history to tell the story. In fact the whole historical fiction genre is Wouk’s with those two books. (Well Victor Hugo can have a piece of that pie too).
The character of Pug was everywhere, but not at the top of the chain, just a couple of steps below.
You know, one say I went searching for the series on Youtube and did find it as a Spanish sub titled version. It was all individual episodes and took great work to try and mesh it all together. Well worth the effort.
I believe it is on Youtube, I watch it every so often as I am fascinated by pre-W.W. II life and history as well as the war years itself. That series does a great job with all of it.
Episode 3 about the battle of midway, could be is owm film.
The character of von Roon, was his German counterpart, he certainly didn't agree with Hitler, but he carried out the orders. Blobel (who oversaw Babi Yar) was another fascinating portrayal in War and Remembrance, when he matter of factly describes what happened at Babi Yar, and expressed disgust that people were watching as if it were a soccer match.
