Is this based on something true?

Even if so and it very well may be, who watches it lol. Netflix can't stop tripping over their own feet.

My guess is that The Six Triple Eight will be "based on real life events" the same way that U-571 or The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare were, meaning that the unit did actually exist but the events depicted will be heavily fictionalised.

They were a postal unit who reportedly did a very good job of clearing out a major backlog of military mail in a very short time. But at the end of the day, they were postal clerks working well behind enemy lines. I don't see how you get any drama out of that.
