Band Of Brothers Actors Visit Brecourt Manor 2019

[@ryanhamilton7008]

i was in college when the show came out... and man, cramming 20 guys in one room, pizza, beer, you name it.... some of the best nights

[@1_richdog346]

I recently visited Bastone, walked Jack's woods in the Ardenne and stood in the fox holes dug by the 101st. We then visited the US cemetery in Leis, Belgium, (1 of several) where 7,000 US heroes are laid to rest. It was beautiful and a credit to the Belgians for caring for our lost soldiers so well. As I slowly walked the cemetery grounds I couldn't help think here are 7,000 heroes who I will never meet, 7,000 who I owe a debt that can never be repaid, and through whose sacrifice protected our country and laid the foundation for the life I live today. God Bless our solders, God bless America.

[@scottmurray5600]

I have to take my hat off to them. I'd have frozen and the situation would have scared the shit out of me. These soldiers were the real deal.

[@1allanbmw]

Well... yes, the locals do care quite a lot of course. But America still foots the bill. There is another Anerican burial ground in Margraten, near Valkenberg, The Netherlands (due east of Maastricht). The American administrator there let me go to the top of the monument there to get more of a bird's eye view. Otherwise, yes, they are our heroes. Most barely 20 or so. It is an awesome, moving sight to see so many, many crosses, and the occasional Star of David, all in neat, careful rows. These are the guys whose families chose to leave them there, with their buddies, where they paid the highest price for freedom. God bless them, their families ,and us... that we don't so foolishly trade in our hard-won freedoms for whatever the smooth talking politicians are trying to foist upon us!! Freedom isn't free. And there are NO guarantees in life, except that it's hard. Let us remember that always.

[@BradWilson1969]

@awake_more _than_ever I don't know about the rest of your psychotic rant, but "globalist traitors"?! Do you have any idea why these American heroes died in Europe? Here's a hint, it wasn't to protect the USA from Nazi invasion.

[@Alex..1933]

Don't forget about all soldiers who took a part of those battles. So many Germans, Austrians, Czech and all other didn't know, what they where fighting for, and did the job, they where supposed to do.... They did for their families, what they had to do. They didn't know, it was better, to fight for the other side. And if they would have, they would have got killed, without a fight.... War is a crime.... And will ever be a crime!!!!

[@aptbroker1]

This series was one of the best I have ever seen about the men who fought for freedom so many years ago. My dad was in the Battle of the Bulge in 1944; I wish he had shared more about that time in his life, but he steadfastly refused to talk about it. Now he is gone and I will never know what happened. Shows like Band of Brothers helped civilians like me see a glimpse of the chaos and terror that comes with mortal combat. Thanks to all those who fought and died for us in that worldwide conflict...

[@letsgobrandon987]

We appreciate people like your dad who even if they didn’t succumb in battle still lived with the pain and trauma of what they saw during that hellish time. Sometimes I feel that “life sentence” of survivor’s guilt, nightmares, PTSD and everything else is almost as bad as a quick death. Almost ofcourse. Maybe that’s why he chose to never speak of it. Everyone handles it in their own way but at the end of the day how they go about it is something they’ve earned the right to do. Anyway RIP to your pops! Never forgotten.

[@rebeccabowers7423]

My Dad was there, as well. The only thing he would ever say about his experiences was how cold he had been during that time. The first time I watched the series was with my Dad. He loved it, as did I. He's been gone since 2012 and every time I watch again I feel him with me.

[@glennie5345]

I go to Normandy several times a year to gather testimonies from people who lived through D-Day. It means a lot to the folks there that you guys remember and respect the people who fought so hard for their liberation. This is a nice video. It made me smile to see Charles passing out “refreshment.” He is a kind, wonderful man and has spent his life taking care of the memory of our fathers did for for their liberty. Beautiful.

[@firefox3539]

As an Artilleryman, I can honestly say that Dale Dye's explanation of the gunnery problem is spot on as a summary. There is a whole lot more than goes into during data when it relates to meteorological effects in the round, especially when shooting high angle, but he pretty much sums it up.

[@thomasohanlon1060]

Remember he was explaining it to a bunch of actors. Now the funny thing all those kids that say there is no real world use for Trig or algebra have no excuse any more. Yes people math is important.

[@whitedovetail]

That would have been an experience to remember for all time to listen to Mr. Dye explain the minute details of that movie. He also did an incredible job for movies during the Vietnam War.

Watch BoB at least once annually, if not twice; hard to believe it's almost 20 years ago! Dale Dye still sharing his military expertise, showing how he gets his "advisor" position for related projects...nice to see the actors from the series there, even though most need hard look to recognize due to 2 decades passing!!

[@Dylon1981]

The saddest part in this scene is that none of the paratroopers who fought in this very place back in 44 is still alive to visit it... only the actors who portrayed them in 2001...

[@daniellastuart3145]

Maybe that due to 1944 being 70 years ago so if the youngs man was 18 in 44 that would make them 88 years old to day but most being in 20s so they be in ther 90s

[@citizenghosttown]

The paratroopers who fought at Brecourt Manor are gone now but there are a handful from Easy Company who are still around. One of them is Edward Shames who featured very briefly in a later episode of Band of Brothers. He's described by Winters as someone who yells a lot like someone who's seen too many war movies. But by most accounts, he was a very good officer. He turns 98 next week.

Hard to imagine the violence. Turns out there was a machine gun nest in the house too. Paratroopers shot two German soldiers and the father of the current family, Michel de Vallavieille was shot five times and survived. He was the first French civilian transported to England. Some people in the area were angry but I guess the soldiers felt he was trying to escape in civilian clothing. Michel did not hold a grudge and not only became mayor of St. Marie du Mont but also started the Utah Beach Landing Museum. He and Winters became good friends. The spot were the shooting occurred is at the gate that leads into the field. I did not know that when I stood there.

Two Germans had him pinned down and it was just a matter of time until they killed him. My uncle grabbed a weapon and went out to bring the enlisted man back. He shot and killed both Germans and then he and the grunt got back to their lines. He was awarded the Silver Star. This is not by way of saying he was great and did a great thing.

Maybe the Krauts had some super cannon or something

[@jpavlvs]

@@JamesinAZ Their cannon were sliding breach guns. The German 105 was several calibers longer than the US 105 mm. It did have a longer range. It still uses a shell case like ours. In fact all German Artillery shells used a case and the Krupp designed sliding breach. The sliding breach is not a perfect seal like the interrupted screw on the US 155 howitzer. So you need the shell case to work like a washer and seal the breach when the gun is fired. Using a case it has a primer just like a rifle case. In an artillery case the primer ignites a steel tube with holes in it filled with long pasta like strands of black powder which in turn ignites the powder charge.

Still waiting for an air war series. The 4th FG would be great to follow. They were the American Eagle volunteers in England flying Spitfire V's before the US entered the war. When the US entered the war, they had to transition to the heavy much less maneuverable P-47. Then later got the P-51. I believe they had the most aerial victories of any US FG in Europe shooting down over 1,000 German planes.
