officer shot by his own side? real incident?
I have just watched the third episode of this impressive series.
I was glad to watch it again.
But one scene in the episode got me thinking.
A young British officer wants to retreat,his superior officer refuses to allow him to do this.
The senior officer tells him that if he runs away he will shoot him,the man runs and is shot dead.
I am an world war 11 buff and have read a lot about it,but I have never heard of this incident.
Does anyone know if it really happened or was it just added for dramatic effect?
