Has anyone seen this mini series? Is it any good?
Someone told me the Captain is portrayed as being gay, is that true?

Kinda puts me off!!

No idea about any gay officers. Nothing that I could find anyway but what I did find was that those who did not like the movie in the slightest didn't like it because of the claimed anti-America "agenda", a claim based, as far as I could tell, on the idea that against Nazi Germany, there can be nothing but saints and that every German was a Nazi, hellspawn and any insinuation of other is hatred towards jews yaddy yaddy ya. Could very well be that one of these people threw out "gay" as an insult.

Then again, I didn't look through the entire internet.

Well, it sure doesn't look like the captain asks "have you been drinking? Let me smell your breath".

I liked it Reece but my advice would be for you to give it a viewing and decide for yourself.
