Holland and Murray follow Murphy through the fall of Rome and Operation Dragoon — the invasion of southern France that tends to get overshadowed by Normandy. The episode covers Murphy's repeated woundings, the steady attrition of his company, and the grinding reality of small-unit infantry combat in the ETO. At 50 minutes with Holland's operational detail, this is the strongest instalment of the series so far.
