      It could still be made, but without the actual survivors giving testimony, its going to feel a lot more like a piece of fiction than it really was. It would also have to be longer and much more willing to kill leads than anything in the various American cinema we've gotten over the years.

      It's such an insane chunk of history, and I can already picture it opening on the pure white as we're introduced to the short lived company commander in the Winter War. And then just imagining he's executed by a commissar before the end of the first episode for getting his entire company stalled out and trapped between the enemy positions; thus killing our first lead and introducing us to our first small squad of people who have the rest of the episode filmed inside of a tank for warmth and shelter as the Finns take potshots at anyone trying to clear out their position.
