My Father was a Sergeant with the 101st at Bastogne. My Uncle, his brother was a corporal with Patton's 3rd Army. They met in Bastogne and hugged for the first time in 3 years. For the rest of their lives, every time they got together, My Uncle would talk about how Patton saved the 101st and my Father would argue that the 101st didn't need saving.

There were actually Poles in the SS and from nearly every other occupied territory including Russia. Even the Middle East volunteered. In fact some of the last SS defending the Berlin Government District were French.

The scene with winters running ahead of the rest of the guys didn’t exactly go down that way; in reality, he outran the rest of them and got ahead; winters was an absolute unit.

[@ktvindicare]

Well considering that in the first episode he was able to leave the mess hall, get changed into his PT gear, and catch up to his guys running up Curahee after Sobel had surprised them it makes sense.

[@yerrrrrrr3413]

In the book it says that the smoke from the smoke grenade was delayed. which is why they put so much emphasis on the time between it being thrown and when the smoke begins to release.

[@MeatballCereal]

One of my favorite scenes in the series; Doc Roe giving his CO's a well-deserved angry dressing down. I mean, they deserved it and the medic is about the only person in the company that could get away with it. It's like getting yelled at by your disappointed mother.

[@EduardoRodriguez-tu8nf]

Don’t mess with Doc/Medic/Corpsman they’re literal angels that do everything in their power to keep servicemen alive.

[@micpere1991]

I like that it show even leaders like Winters can make mistakes or errors in judgement, even if he meant well. And Doc had every right to scold them, not knowing how much morphine was administered was gambling with Heyliger's life.

[@RogunK]

I had something similar happen on my boat in the navy. I forget what the situation was about, but our Doc was a 1st class, and a Chief tried to pull rank on him. Doc told the Chief that at that moment, he wasn't a Petty Officer 1st Class, he was the ships Doctor and the head of the medical department. All other department heads are officers which means when it comes to him doing his job, he is basically above all enlisted and most officers.

[@John_Locke_108]

That scene with Buck watching the movie is rough. His face is heartbreaking. He's barely even there.

[@GrumpyOldGuyPlaysGames]

The soldier being played by Jimmy Fallon at the end of this episode, 2nd Lieutenant George C. Rice, is a true-blue hero. I'm talking a balls-of-steel hero. When word got around that the 506th was moving into positionwithout rnough armor and equipment, Rice and two enlisted volunteers loaded up a trailer with as much stuff as they could grab and drove it out to where the 506th was gathering. The three of them made five trips from a supply depot to the step-off point. Rice ordered the other two men to stay behind as he made his sixth, seventh, eigthth, and ninth trips to bring ammo to the infanty alone. His last two trips were made *AFTER* the German army had encircled the American position, meaning he could have been killed or captured easily. He was loading up for a tenth trip when he was specifically ordered by his commanding officer to stand down. Rice was nominated for the Medal of Honor for his efforts, but it was downgraded to the Distinguished Service Cross.

[@vinniemoran7362]

Phenomenal acting by Damian Lewis there.

[@paulhewes7333]

-Winters was promoted to the XO (2nd in command) of the 2nd Battalion. -There is now a war museum in Bastogne, Belgium. Monuments to the soldiers and the people who held Bastogne from capture are a thing to see. You can also go see the wood where E company was dug in, and stand in their fox holes (or what is left of them).

Doc Roe yelling at them was a perfect preview of the lead of the next episode...

[@wxgrad]

A bit belated but... My daughter had the opportunity to attend the 75th anniversary commemorating the D-Day landing with some of her high school class. Speaches by Pres Trump, Pres Macron and some breakout sessions with some of the actors from BoB as well as special educational tours of the Normandy beaches. It gave her a special appreciation for the Day of Days, that she wrote a poem about it that won her some awards.

[@leonbrooks2107]

Captain America would look to Dick Winters for leadership on a battlefield.

[@215_Philly_4for4]

So would Chuck Norris

[@Cazzers]

My favourite shot of the whole series is the final one where Winters is first watching the men begin their march into Bastogne, and then joining them. If you pay attention, he blends in with them as they head towards the forest. Leadership while actively engaging in what is being asked of others. It sums up Winters' leadership style so well.

[@malacaimarbas2048]

It’s interesting that this episode is about leadership, and the only time Winters sends someone else in his place, it was directing Dukeman to move the machine gun squad, and he was shot and killed, the only death at the crossroads. When you think about it like that, it makes far more sense why Winters feels like the single death is so important and tragic.

[@TSO_TheSaga]

it would be cool if you guys could check out Stand Alone Together - band of brothers documentary after you finished this show. Its the full documentary of all the short interviews you see at the start of each episode.

[@Knowledgeispower482]

One of my only issues with this series is that the 101st did have artillery at Bastogne. McAuliffe, acting as the CO, was the Assistant Division Commander, Artillery and he organized the artillery they did have into a mobile force that was able to respond in any direction. So when the Germans attacked, the artillery was able to reposition and respond. It was one of the things that did help in the defense of Bastogne.

[@krisfrederick5001]

This is when Tom Hanks literally takes the reigns in the series...becoming more introspective with Winters. The back and forth between the typewriter and the gunfire is done brilliantly as he's reliving the scene. Long before PTSD was even taken seriously. General Patton addressed it with the back of his hand on a soldiers face famously. Oh and if any of you run into any bacon sandwiches, let me know. Currahee ♠

[@mbochum83]

And makes an appearance as a Red Devil at 11:51 (top left)

[@kelly9876]

Tom Hanks loves typewriters - has a collections of hundreds of them and wrote a collection of short stories which all feature type writers.

[@mattybob12310]

The battle of the Crossroads was actually more unbelievable in real life. The smoke grenade was faulty so the guys were lagging behind a considerable distance. Winters made it up the verge and innitially threw a Grenade at the Scout, although he forgot he left tape on the trigger so it didn't go off. The Scout threw a Potato Masher back but for whatever reason it didn't go off either. Winters then emptied a total of 3 clips into the German Company, alone, exposed on a verge until the rest of his Platoon caught up. They had the Germans on the run after an Artillery exchange and Easy chased them a mile or so to a Ferry Crossing, using textbook fire & manouver tactics, utilizing their Machinegun Squads for cover. They made it to the Ferry Crossing and another German Company openned up with overwhelming Machinegun fire from the opposite bank and Easy had to fall back. The incident with Liebgot and the Prisoners was real, iirc one of them later thanked Winters. This episode we're also introduced to Doc Roe, we'll get to know him soon, he's one of the Company Medics and one of the only people who can get away with shouting at those above him. And ofcourse, this episode was Directed by Tom Hanks so, of course the Typewriter took centre stage 😊. Looking forward to Ep 6!

[@patriciamay1736]

And the bloody handprint left by Winters on the door of the ambulance taking Moose away is a nice Tom Hanks Easter Egg from his role in the movie Castaway. Tom Hanks character named a soccer ball “Wilson” and Hanks’ bloody handprint was Wilson’s face.

The thing with this mini series is that you get pulled into it as if you know the guys personally and feel that you are almost there with them and I get that feeling even more each time i watch the series, especially as it is based on a true story. I also think it is the best mini series ever made.

[@jimflores9098]

My Uncle, Sgt Louis B "Shorty" Flores was a member of the 506th and moved between Easy and HQ companies. He never said a lot to me, but he said the cold at Bastogne was almost worse than the Germans. There was a lot of back and forth at times and he commented about, when it was obvious his group was being overrun, pulling dead guys over him - once a dead guys frozen leg actually broke off when he tried to do this - then they would just wait there for the Germans to get pushed back. He was 19 years old.

[@Tensen01]

So IRL, Winters was so far ahead of everyone in the charge not because the grenade went off so late, it didn't, they all started running at the same time, but because be just literally was that much faster than them all. He also said that in reality his trip to Paris was very fun and he spent the whole time doing all the normal tourist stuff one does in Paris.

[@stephenmanuel1120]

The scene at the end was Easy Company taking up positions around Bastogne which is the opening battles of what became known as the "Battle of the Bulge", the largest land battle in the history of the US Army.

[@rayvanhorn1534]

Other than the obvious PTSD overlay to the portrayal of Winters, Nixon, Compton (& every man really) what sticks out in this episode is the emergence of Eugene (Doc) Roe. He has appeared in nearly every episode but this is the first time you hear dialogue. Just like Winters, he knows "his guys"; he sees how Capt Winters is taking the news from Col Sink on his new position at Battalion & offers him a cup of coffee...next we see Doc chew out the three officers after Moose is shot. Eugene Roe....Desmond Doss, two amazing medics.

[@lunaproductions13]

Nope, he had dialogue briefly when Blithe was temporarily blind.

[@rllangevin3841]

Another great reaction, Guys! This episode hits differently than most others, but in the best way as it shows the humility and humanity of Dick Winters and his genuine care and concern for the men under his command. So, so good!

[@chrisg8767]

According to the book, at one point Malarkey had won the equivalent of the entire Company payroll! He actively lost back about half of it because he was afraid to have that much money on him.

[@JaymeZelinske]

I agree with Mason Quinn. I also have taken many lessons in leadership away from this show and Dick Winters that I apply to my everyday life and job. One that sticks with me the most is “follow me” mentality. Don’t ask others to do what you are unwilling to do. Lead by example. It is amazing to know that by doing this series, these men are able to influence generations to come and continue to be great leaders even though they are gone.

[@kueller917]

Oh yeah the next few episodes are my favorites. Despite some other frustrating historical inaccuracies coming up the show reaches the point where it's well enough introduced the characters and can start really delving further into their struggles.

[@scalisque5403]

You need the reports. They help break down what actually happened in these combat actions and this is where men would be awarded their medals for their duties in the line of fire.

[@SzerelemLove]

This is an another favorite episode, Winters was such an amazing man and leader.

[@neutchain7838]

That thing with the boats was very important. Due to the failure of Operation Market Garden ( the previous episode ) a lot of soldiers were stuck behind enemy lines. The Btirish 1st PIR got it worse, they've lost 8000 men out of 12000 I believe and Easy company was rescuing the survivors by going across the the river and transporting them back.

[@fruckles]

@27:10 With the fear thing, you know that the enemy is there, you have to take account that they may see you, with him running the field, there was an unknown amount of troops on the other side of the road, some things need to be done, and like Spears told Blithe, you just have to work through your fear. Some seemed to go into "standby mode", some revert back to their old selves between combat, some stay high strung, which as you seen can get your own men shot. ☕🐝🇺🇸

[@mikecarew8329]

Please be sure to react to the accompanying HBO documentary, “We Stand Alone Together,” for far more context from the vets including from Alley who you saw Doc treat at the start of this episode just after the quiet moment with Trigger the dog. Alley talks in the documentary about the grenade that hit him and why he survived. Lots more from all the surviving vets plus archival footage. It is the perfect capstone / Episode 11 of the series. Hanks directed this episode and his love of old typewriters shines through (he’s a collector). Doc Roe - a fairly junior enlisted mane - dressing down his most recent CO Lt Welsh and them taking it shows ina single scene how much the men including officers respected Roe and the medics and also how much Roe cared (you’ll get to know him more in the next episode).

[@snowhavenz]

easily my favorite episode. extremely well directed and paced. TH did amazing with this episode.

[@Gunnar001]

In reality, two .30 cal machine guns opened fire toward the German’s position as Winters and his men charged across the open field. It wasn’t a sneaky assault like in show. This is why the Germans (and the lone one Winters shot) were taking cover down in the dirt. The assault totally took them by surprise. The other Germans that came over the ridge after the shooting started were confused and probably thought they were being attacked by a much larger American force in the flank. They saw all the other retreating Germans and followed. Also, the red smoke malfunction thing never happened. They all charged at the same time. Winters was just in excellent shape and outran everyone else.

[@chrisbolliger5717]

Reel History covers this citing an interview with Dick Winters. stating that the Germans were "unsuspecting." Had they been under fire he would not have surprised the sentry. At 27:40 of the video he begins discussing it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJ-qgKmrYrN8qKM

[@larsickenroth7169]

That scene when Winters has the flashback of the young German soldier on the train gets me every time!

[@Vanyawwd]

Based on true story too. Probably drafted and fresh from htler youth. It’s said the German soldier he wander away from the safety of his unit and was collecting flowers I think, maybe for his mom . Wrong place, wrong time He smiled at winters too, so it shows how inexperienced and new he was. He didn’t have the reaction time of an experienced veteran. Also he wasn’t even armed, he must have left his weapon where his group was. Like what training was he even taught to forget something important

[@ronaldg9238]

[@saberx08]

Going in to Bastogne, the series focuses on Easy company for obvious reasons. Some reactors who are unfamiliar with the history can get left with the impression that Easy was the only ones holding the line. In actuality, the allied units in Bastogne numbered over 22,000 - with the Germans having more than twice that number. The end tag also says they had no artillery or air support, which is untrue due to several artillery battalions being present. This is by no means meant to suggest that Easy company had an easy time. No one defending Bastogne did! The fact that more than twice as many Germans were unable to break or take Bastogne shows that the allies gave the Germans back as hard of a time as they got! As to this episode: as a Marine from a few decades ago, I very much appreciate the depiction of the administrative bullshit leaders have to accomplish after any action or operation. That's always very refreshing to see in a war movie or series. The Oak hit the nail right on the head also when he was talking about the ages of the guys. The newest guys were almost always the youngest at 18, 19, 20, etc. But us "older guys" leading them were still only in our early to mid 20's. I love watching your guys reactions to this! It made me find, and then subscribe to your channel. Since then I've watched y'all's reactions to several other movies, and it's always a great time to see all your reactions.

Fearing he could be reassigned elsewhere if he stayed too long, he put black boot polish on the cast and tried sneaking out of the hospital but was caught, court-martialed, demoted to Private, but he told the docs he'd just keep trying to sneak out any chance he got. He was kept another week and finally allowed to leave. The paperwork about his demotion never reached Easy so he rejoined with his current rank of Sergeant.

You should watch “The War” by Ken Burns. I don’t think you can do a reaction to it because there is a lot of music in it. But it’s really is the best WW2 documentary ever. You will learn a lot from it. And it’s very long but it delves into almost every aspect of the War.

[@tanyahudson2156]

When you’re done with this series, you should really watch the films that they made about the filming process and the research process and there’s so much on these actual people and you know after watching it so many times they become extended family and you want to know what happens to each one and there’s a lot of information about them. It’s amazing how much you end up investing in them. And just needing to know what happens with the men after the series.
