Episode 3 has finally been unleashed, and sees Charlie adjust to life as a prisoner of war, where he shows approximately no respect to his German captors. This is the last episode focused on Charles Upham, so get in quic
After his one-armed, donkey-borne, grenade and shit-slinging heroics in Greece, the Allies turn Charlie around and aim him at Rommel’s forces in the African desert. Good luck, Germans.
