Historical Note on Operation Market Garden During the invasion of Normandy, the German forces were retreating through what is called the Falaise Pocket. 75% of the German army got away because of the slow reaction of America’s General Bradley and British Field Marshal Montgomery to close the pocket. 50,000 German troops were able to escape into Holland where they were re-equipped. A month later Montgomery launched a poorly planned Operation Market Garden, right in the middle of those well rested, newly equipped, experienced German Units, and the Allied forces nearly got annihilated.

This is now known to be a myth. Less than 50,000 German troops escaped from the Falaise Pocket but nearly 400,000 were killed, wounded or captured in Normandy plus over 2,000 tanks were lost. The 9th and 10th SS Panzer Divisions around Arnhem were not newly equipped. They were a shadow of themselves. Only 1/3 strength with not a single available tank to throw against the paras. The German armour came in from Germany in the following days, and none of those units fought in Normandy.

Kima didn’t ask for this, her girlfriend is forcing theses changes on her. Kima is the male in this relationship, and she was attracted to her as is in the beginning then once they were together, she trying to force Kima to be something else. Kima is POLICE! Kima wants a girlfriend to come home to and cuddle on the couch and hold each other like the beginning. The women is living in her head like Kima is the daddy and she’s cool with this.

The way Brother Mouzone dresses suggests that he's a member of the Black Muslims, AKA The Nation of Islam. That's what Cheese meant when he asked, "You with the Nation, homie?" and "Either you a Muslim, or your momma need to stop layin' your clothes out in the mornin''." Members of the NOI always wear suits and bow ties. And Brother Mouzone's glasses look very similar to the ones that Malcolm X wore. The NOI can be a scary organization, though I don't think they'd be involved in dealing drugs, or protecting the interests of a drug kingpin. Mouzone, if he was a Black Muslim, was probably acting independently. But his look, with the suit and tie, wouldn't have gotten him far with the police. They'd recognize the uniform, and wouldn't take it as a sign of respectability. The police, if they knew about him, would probably worry that another potentially violent organization was involved.

I think a lot of what season 2 has to say about Ziggy is that he is a much better person than Nick. But because Nick belongs where he is and Ziggy doesn't, when you watch the season you naturally come to side with Nick and sympathize with his struggle, whereas Ziggy gets under the viewer's nerve and gets criticism from the audience. There are even things that people will never notice, like how Ziggy buying a coat as soon as he makes illegal money is evidence that he is a moron, but as soon as Nick makes his money from the chemical deal he buys a big-ass truck that he shouldn't be able to afford, and not a word is said about that. I think that it's a very interesting writing choice, and not many shows have done something like this.

Very good comment and agreed about the audiences natural tendency to like Nick and to dislike Ziggy. That's why the writing for this show will forever be goated. Now with rewatches and more context to the characters/story Nick is actually the Sobotka I like the least. Ziggy for as annoying and easy to hate as he is at least he's not a hypocrite. Although not too sure on Ziggy being a much better person than Nick. They're both equally complex characters.

This is the first time i see it from this perspective and i think you're right. I felt both frustrated and sympathetic towards Ziggy but couldn't pinpoint the problem. Realizing how he didn't fit in because he wasn't meant to be there fits so so well. I think his frustration comes from this too, throughout the season we see him try so hard to fit the mold he's supposed to be but fail each time. Honestly this makes his story that much more tragic. 10/10 writing. Thank you for your input!

This is similar to AJ in the Sopranos. He annoys most viewers even though we see who his parents are and the lack of guidance he gets. Meadow on the other hand is whiny and manipulative and yet she's not nearly as disliked as AJ is even though AJ is pretty innocent at heart. Meadow in the end buys into Tony's BS and becomes a criminal defense attorney while AJ wants to join the army and is concerned about our war crimes. Chase himself even said he didn't know why people disliked AJ so much because he wasn't meant to be the disliked one

I strongly recommend that you watch "Saving Private Ryan". It covers the amphibious landing on 'Omaha Beach' on D-Day, as well as some days after. It is an Epic war-movie, directed by Stephen Spielberg, starring Tom Hanks. "Saving Private Ryan" kind of 'spawned' "Band of Brothers", and is created by Spielberg and Hanks. The same is with "The Pacific"...

The reason the Lt. asked the sergeant to tap him on the leg when the light turns green is because, he's color blind, can't tell red from green. Which would mean he would be ineligible to serve in the military.... which means he lied or cheated his way into the military.

You might want to watch the movie "Saving Private Ryan", as it it is 'related' to "Band of Brothers" and created by the same people... Usually, people 1st watch "Saving PrivateRyan", and shortly after, they watch "Band of Brothers"... And after that, "The Pacific"...similar to "Band of Brothers", albeit in The Pacific.

Orange is the national color of the Netherlands so the orange banners and flags signify patriotism. Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg are between Germany and France and had very small militaries, unable to stop the Germans who invaded their countries in 1940 trying to avoid the French Army. As for foreign languages, a lot of soldiers were 2nd Gen Americans and spoke German, Italian, French and Japanese at home.

Right around this time in the war an unusual heartwarming yet sad event took place near the German border. A wounded American soldier had been left behind. He kept calling for help but no one came. A German lieutenant, Friedrich Lengfeld, in charge of a platoon ordered his men not to fire. After a short while Lt. Lengfeld led a couple of his men with first aid supplies across a minefield. Sadly, Friedrich Lengfeld tripped a mine and was killed. Today you can visit his grave in the Hurtgen Cemetery where you will find a small monument that reads in both German and English, "No greater love hath a man than he giveth his life for an enemy." The monument was placed there by the U.S. 22nd Infantry Division.❤💔❤️💔
