Band of Brothers Eagles Nest

The Allies walk for the first time in the Eagles Nest.

[@michealoceallaigh4716]

This episode reminds me of the final days of a school year, when you're just killing time before breaking up for summer.

[@JoshDeCoster]

Exactly same here!! As a kid growing up in May I would always think of this episode, especially senior year of HS

[@fleurafricaine5740]

Good comparison. The rules, work, structures and worry that govern your existentence all dissolve and vanish. But the friends you had that shared in the experience scatter in the wind as well.

What I always remember from this episode is the scene before this where the guys are on foot patrol and discover the place. It smash cuts to Percante sprinting back through the forest, double timing it back to the CP in full gear. It says so much by just implying, going right back to ep.1, that he's still physically fit enough to move like that despite everything. Thank you captain sobel.

[@MrHalohunter24]

2:57 A small detail but very important. O'Keefe is a new replacement, been with the company only a couple weeks. By this point, Winters hasn't served as Easy Company's direct CO for almost half a year, yet he knows every single one of his soldiers by name, even the new ones. That's how you can tell he cares about his men.

[@theroachden6195]

Yep. Great observation.

[@SantomPh]

he certainly knew all the Toccoa guys by name and led the company himself for most of the post-landing fighting.

[@Nmax]

Great observation. Winters is the leader we all wish we could have

[@Scriptum_1]

Well he was trusting Goering's house with keys. Of course he needed to reward. Still Winters was a good leader if I compare with the Pacific where officers took too much liberty regarding the rank confiscating possessions without good faith

Of all the soldiers in this mini series , I liked Lewis Nixon 's character the best. He came from a wealthy family, probably could have gotten a deferment, but joined the Army anyway

[@ered203]

Not only joined the Army, but volunteered to be put through Hell at Curahee and then be a paratrooper. Salute.

And didn't fire his weapon in combat

Webster (who wrote what this story comes from) was the same. Could have done anything else but chose to enlist and document a soldier’s life.

[@albdamned577]

not bad for someone who never fired his weapon in combat! (line from the series)

[@coolhand1964]

It must be remembered that Nixon was the Company Intel Officer. He's no good to the Company dead, and the Company is not as efficient without him. He might not have fired a shot in anger, but he fought a smart war, so he could contribute to the safety of the company. I suspect it's one of the reasons Winters took up working for him after the war.

[@jamesdick2580]

@Night Has Fallen......you obviously know nothing about being in combat. after you've been through numerous firefights and seeing many of your Brothers dying around you, anything that sounds close to a gunshot is going to bring a reaction like that. hell, why do you think so many of us Veterans have a hard time going to fireworks displays? it's because the explosions of the fireworks remind many of us of IED explosions and it brings flashbacks of the incident. hope that puts a bit of perspective on there and you dont find Spiers' reaction so "amusing."

I like how Spiers went through the war with utter fearlessness only to jump at the cork being popped -- now that the war is practically over I think it's dawning on him that he's actually going to make it through in one piece.

[@davidmurray5399]

@@BurnedSpace Headquarters personnel could get into fire fights, given the confused fighting conditions of an airborne drop, being surrounded by the enemy as they were at Bastogne, but men like Nixon saw and endured the same things that front line infantry squads did. Enemy artillery and mortar fire doesn't discriminate against HQ troops.

[@grantgarrod2232]

davidmurray5399, Nixon almost bought the farm at Varsity. His plane took a direct hit over the drop zone, and he & two others managed to get out before the plane exploded, killing all those still onboard. And because the unit CO was killed, Nixon was tasked with writing letters to all the families of the men who died. Pretty sure he never looked at that third star with any pride or pleasure.

Hitlers house was bombed prior to German surrender . The building on the mountain top with the gold plated elevator was a "tea house" , Hitler only used it a couple of times, as they are correct in saying he didn't like the hight. One theory was that it made him a sitting duck for an assassin and that's why. Either way the Berghof , his house was destroyed in totality by a demolition team and fast growing trees planted in front of the alpine view it enjoyed. All this to stop it becoming a place of pilgrimage by any future NAZI followers of his creed. What scares them?

[@paulelliott4590]

True fact. Hitler visited Eagles Nest only once. He hated it. Albert Spier who designed it, forced workers to build the road and dig the shaft for the elevator in terrible conditions. Spier truly thought Hitler would love it. It is reported that Hitler ripped Spier a new one, for wasting men and resources.

[@seththomas9105]

Up until about 30 years ago it was called being a heavy drinker or "drinker". Now it's called "functional alcoholic" Lots, and lots, and lots of people who were Greatest Generation and Silent Generation were this way. Little things like the Great Depresion, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Cold War, sergregation, and Jim Crow laws will do that to a people. Most "functional alcoholics" are just that. They hold down jobs, carriers, families, friends, run a household, have hobbies. They may drink daily, or only on weekends, or a couple of times a month, but usually they will "cut loose" when they do and get drunk or drink more than 3 drinks in a setting. Then sober up and do the job. I've known many people that knock down half a pint or 6 beers 4-5 days a week and have succesfull carrriers and long lives. Not saying right or wrong, just stating facts.
