Why didn't they finish the war?

Does anyone know why no second season of this series was produced? The same thing happened with the earlier -- and excellent -- series, "Enemy at the Door." That one, too left the audience hanging, somewhere in 1943. It feels so truncated, ending as it does with the death of a principal character and with the Islands still in German hands and the war nowhere near over.

After the D-Day landings, things became very tight for both Islanders and the Germans. It seems as though it would offer an excellent set of dramatic possibilities.

Neither of these shows brought the war to a close, neither showed how the residents coped with privations and with each other when the Germans surrendered.

Is it, perhaps, because Churchill's decision to not retake the islands and, in his words, let the enemy "rot" without food and other stores? This meant, of course, that the resident population was left to "rot" with them.
