It looks good

[Oktoberfest]

The germans did strafe civilians in France during the battle of France. But it was refugees columns on roads that were aimed. This was supposed to cause panic and havoc and slow down the french army capacity to circulate and reorganize. It worked well...

In this serie, the kids are playing in a field miles away from any road or military target. This is what was so crappy in the episode. I stopped watching it 10 minutes later because the nonsense kept increasing every minute.

Strafing civilians was not uncommon to allied and axis.

Hurricanes and Blenhiems strafed anything that moved in the Western Desert campaign.

The series is called "un village français".

I know both sides attacked civilians during the war, I wasn't supposing only the germans did.

However, in June 40 it was something new for the french people, given the fact that the population was used to be relatively spared (meaning not being attacked deliberately) during the last two conflicts we had with the germans in 1870 and 1914-1918.

Given the fact that there was also very little population in the desert, I can understand why the RAF straffed columns though.
