I just watched The Time Tunnel 2002 pilot episode.

If you plan to watch this, look away, as this is a major spoiler.

The plot centres on an intervention team sent back to WW2 to save the future.

They go back in US army clothing. Two of the team are women, one a Negro.

No-one bats an eyelid, even though there were no female frontline combat troops in WW2,

and even more visibly, combat troops were segregated.

Is this sanitising history, or ignorance of the same?
