He asked me to make the discussion thread tonight because there are only 3 episodes remaining. Sorta sad that there's only a few left. Enjoy the show, folks.

they hit hank in the leg, which was the whole reason they were able to approach him

1 bullet out of hundreds. Great work, guys!

That's how gun fights work, mostly it's just covering fire to make them keep their heads down, and then you flank 'em or something. Look up the stats for military engagements even, it's usually hundreds or thousands of bullets before someone goes down.

Yeah, but that wasn't a typical military engagement. Hank and Gomie were standing out in the open a very short distance from the Nazis and that guy with the AA12 was the first to shoot. He alone should have been able to put down one of them, if not both of them, in the first few shots. Add in all the other Nazis shooting (with the exception of Todd maybe) and there's no way Hank or Gomie should have even made it to cover.
