The Pacific (2010)

Guadalcanal/Leckie - S1-E1

Corrected entry: A briefing is being given and there is a world map showing the Axis/Allied spheres. I can't make sense of it. It shows Great Britain as a neutral power(?), and the US and Canada as one country. Worst part is a bunch of red lines in North America which I'm guessing are main roads or rails. Trouble is many of them did not exist in 1942. There were no roads to Alaska, the Arctic and much of North and Western Canada then.

Correction: The roads/railroads you mention are rivers. And the map is intended to depict AXIS vs ALLIED countries. All of the areas noted in red are controlled by Germany, Italy, and Japan, as of December 1941. The single error in the map is that Iceland is depicted as under AXIS control, it was not.
