WWII is soon to join the First World War, and the American Civil War, and all the wars before that, as something that has passed beyond the reach of _living_ memory. The soldiers who fought in it -- those who are still with us -- are all in their _nineties_ now. It won't be long before it becomes impossible to sit at the feet of someone who was actually there, and listen to his own firsthand account of what he saw and heard and felt and thought. All we'll have then are the things that have been recorded.

I wish we got to see more of their war, and the war in China, the theatres where most of it was fought.

The fact that you found the show so difficult to get through is probably the biggest indicator that you two were the perfect people to react to it. Many others wouldn't have had the same level of emotional intelligence or empathy to be as affected by this story in the way that you were, and in many ways, it's for that reason that it may have been lost on them to a degree. "An amazing series that I would never have watched if I knew it would be this tough, and I will never watch it again" is an incredibly apt description for Band of Brothers. It wasn't a series that I 'enjoyed' in the traditional sense, but it did have a profound and permanent impact on how I view the devastating effect that war has on our species in general. For as much as I do enjoy the lighter side of TV and film, art should not be limited to the confines of comforting entertainment. Roger Ebert described the cinematic form as 'the great empathy machine,' and for as thoroughly detailed as the book this series was based off of is, I don't think there's anything on the page of a book that can truly resonate with an audience when compared to seeing the memories that lie behind the eyes of those men being interviewed in the series' closing moments.

It might have been a bit better if they had included a picture in the corner of the actor when the real men were giving their last statements. I found it hard to put the name of the real veteran with the actor in the show. After I had seen it a few more times I knew who was who when those last comments were made.

I remember being 13 seeing this with my grandfather whom proudly served in world war as a 1st Lieutenant in the 103rd of the Army. When he watched the speech of the German general he said, “They were forced, their families threatened. So many of those German men had no choice and not enough people know that truth.” I was 13 and didn’t understand his pain at the time. I now watch this every 4th of July with my mom (his daughter). We both cry endlessly while watching, especially because now I know the pain that man endured. It’s a miracle these men didn’t end their lives after everything they saw.

One of the best reactions to this series. Definitely recommend watching The Pacific, but fair warning, it’s very dark. Band of Brothers is mostly about the brotherhood formed between soldiers, whereas The Pacific explores the mental trauma that soldiers go through. Also combined with the fact that the Pacific campaign against the Imperial Japanese was one of the most brutal military campaigns in modern history. It is a very good series though, very worth watching. Masters Of The Air is a third instalment about the 8th Bomber Wing flying out of England, coming out later this year.

I am so glad you made this video. As a veteran of Iraq, and many more conflicts, I and my brothers can never describe what it is like to experience combat and how close the bond is to those who stand next to you when you are thinking your time has come. Band of Brothers is perfect at giving a glimpse into that closeness of combat veterans and enabling 'civilians' to see just a little bit, what sacrifice is needed and hopefully appreciate us vets, from whatever conflict we come from. Hopefully by watching this, people the next time they see an old veteran shuffling along, carrying physical and mental injuries for the rest of their lives will view them a bit kinder. Whatever war or conflict we fought in, we did so to protect the innocents at a possible cost of our lives and we carry that experience and trauma until we finally RV with our fallen friends in Valhalla. Thanks again

I first watched this series back in 2004 while I was training to go to Iraq for my first combat tour. My Grandpa served in the Army in the European Theater and were in the same areas as the 101st as he was with the 83rd Infantry Division. After watching the series, it had felt like you had been though a lot emotionally. My one regret in my life was not watching the series with my Grandpa when I got back. I did not think about it until after he had passed but after coming back from Iraq I was able to talk with him on a different level and ask different questions of him. I was very lucky to have him be able to Commission me as a 2nd Lieutenant once I returned as well. It was a great honor for me and him to share that day. Every now and then I will re-watch this series or parts of it as my Army career winds down. I fell under the 101st Airborne in Iraq and so I can wear the combat patch of the Screaming Eagles. I am glad you two were able to enjoy this series and be thankful for the generation that existed and sacrificed for the betterment of the world. We all stand on the shoulders of giants.

He would never talk about the war … but every once in a while when he and I would shoot baskets in the driveway he’d forget what he was doing and he’d stare out at the land behind his old house, twelve acres of green grass and brush and trees. I’d have to call to him a few times to bring him back - ‘Grampy, Grampy … Grampy’. Now that I’m older I wonder if he wasn’t thinking just what Dick Winters thought after that first night in Normandy - that if God saw fit to see him through the war … if he somehow survived … all he wanted was a little plot of land and a life of peace.

Their shared experiences forged a relationship that few outside of military service can comprehend. We who watched the series owe thanks to Dick Winters for sharing his recollections, to Stephen Ambrose for chronicling the story of Easy and the 101st Airborne in WW II. America went to war to preserve liberty in the western world, helped to rebuild Europe, and asked little more than for a place to bury our dead. For better or worse, that war created a mutual interest in the continued existence of the allied nations, and those that were liberated. " Grandpa, were you a hero in the war? No, but I served with a company of heroes.". We dare not forget their sacrifice, dare not squander their effort in preserving our way of life.

I also like to think of it not only as an homage to the men of Easy Company but to every person who served the cause of liberty.

The Bernese area features prominently in Band of Brothers’ final episode, “Points.” Parts of the Bernese Grimsel Pass were used for the site of Hitler’s Eagle’s Nest. The Austrian town of Zell am See is represented by the Swiss village of Brienz and the grand hotel at which the main characters stay for episode 10 is, in reality, the hotel Giessbach."

The battle in Bastone was one of the toughest episodes of the series. I would recommend "The Pacific" but your opening comments on never watching this type of movie/series is understandable. That series is the counter offensive in WWII to the bombing on US NAval Base in Hawaii. Thank you for honoring these brave men.

Thank you two for toughing it out and for watching the whole series. It is life changing. When I was a teenager first learning to drive (in the 80's) I would always get frustrated with old people, get annoyed when they drove so slowly in front of me. After this series I looked at old men differently. The men of this era were the bravest and strongest of us all. In America we have come to call these men "The Greatest Generation". What they gave up, what they went through, to rid the world of REAL evil... I will never look at an elderly person the same. I will always respect them. Not just because what war they might have gone through, but what life they must have lived. They made our lives easier. Thank you again for sitting through this series. Much Love!

The last thing Winters said about, "Were you a hero in the war Grampa?". It was actually Mike Raney who wrote that about his grandson. He is the guy who was shot in the head by that replacement. I also want to say a word in defense of Operation Paperclip. You equated the American government to to Nazi's. How so? They just finished defeating them! The Soviets would have grabbed those scientists who came to our side and put them to work against us in the Cold War. The Cold War was no joke. The USSR was bent on communist world domination, and many more, tens of.millions more died under them than under the Nazi's. Did the nazi scientests actually advance our technology enough to justify using them? I think that is the question.

Band of Brothers is more than a film about the men who fought and died in WW2. It must be a constant reminded to those living today of the tremendous sacrifices the greatest generation made to ensure a world free of tyranny, and in particular the protection of what the United States represents. Freedom does not come without a cost, and so today we must guard this nation's founding principles of freedom and liberty from not just enemies beyond our nations borders, but enemies within who seek to undermine everything so many fought and died to preserve.

@5:00 "We Stand Alone Together" is all interviews of the surviving Easy Company members. All the little snippets of them speaking at the start of each Band of Brothers episode are taken from that documentary. It's actually not nearly as traumatic as watching BB and I highly recommend it. @17:15 Most people miss this and I think you guys did too. When Shifty Powers name is drawn out of the helmet you briefly see that there are no other slips of paper in the helmet. The Company agreed to fix the "lottery" so Shifty got to go home. They only show the empty helmet for a split-second so you barely have time to see it is empty of any other slips of paper. It was really nice you mentioned all the attempts within the German military to assassinate Hitler since there were many attempts. If you have not seen the film 'Valkyrie" (2008) is a really intense film about one of the most famous attempts which almost succeeded. It is very intense and suspenseful and would make a great reaction.

*From the National WW2 Museum:* The 7th Infantry Regiment of the US 3rd Infantry Division got there first at about 1600 on the afternoon of May 4. They took Berchtesgaden without firing a shot. While the 7th Regiment fanned out through town, a platoon advanced up the mountain to Obersalzberg. When they arrived at the Berghof, Hitler’s home, they discovered the entire area was heavily damaged by a bombing raid conducted by the RAF on April 25. ... The French 2nd Armored Division arrived a little later that afternoon. Early the next morning, the French made the trek all the way up to the Eagle’s Nest, which was untouched by Allied bombing, and made the most fantastic discovery of all: a wine cellar that contained an estimated half million bottles of the finest wine, champagne, and cognac imaginable. Amongst the cache were thousands of bottles of Chateau Lafite Rothschild, one of the most expensive wines in the world. In 2020, buying a bottle of late vintage Chateau Lafite Rothschild would set you back about $1000. ... Last to arrive to the party was the 101st Airborne; they arrived in Berchtesgaden on the morning of May 5. They may have been last, but they were there to stay the longest. The 2nd Battalion, 506th PIR was the lead element of the 101st to arrive, and the officers and men began by securing the finest billets in town. Col. Sink, commander of the 506th, met with the commanding officer of the 7th Infantry Regiment, 3rd ID, and informed him that the 101st was relieving them. SHAEF ordered the 3rd ID men in Berchtesgaden back to their area of operations in Salzburg, Austria.

Thank you for watching this. I truly believe BOB is the greatest project ever assembled for television. My wife is a teacher, and sadly, her students, for the most part, hate America. The refuse to stand for the pledge, and they believe my generation, and my father's generation, were completely evil, and the live in a country with no redeeming qualities. Many of their teachers reinforce this idea. I wish they could be required to watch this series to put things into perspective. The country that they hate fought a war with itself to end slavery on its shores- the only one to ever do so, and it created men like Winters. I am not saying America is unique in creating such men, but I wish they see previous generations within the time that they lived, rather than judging everything by their current sensibilities. I dare say, the men from Easy Company were far more self sacrificing and far less narcissistic than my wife's students. God bless all the souls who sacrificed their lives in WWI and WWII for the freedom of so many generations to come.

They also fought at the tip of the spear of Pattons tank divisions. Unbelievable valor, heroism and sacrifice even though they did not enjoy equal rights as citizens back home in America.

Buck Compton who prosecuted the assassin of Bobby Kennedy, when they tell you what these guys all did after the war is incredible. The veterans of WW2 are incredibly humble. They were all so very young when you consider draft age was 18, and many as you heard lied to get into the war. The older officers like Winters was still like 19-22 yrs old running the battalions or running the companies. I always find it crazy to think how young they all were when the war started and if you had ever gone to a veterans reunion they all devolve into their 18-20 yrs old selves when they hang out with one another. Funny as hell when 80-90 yrs old men calling each other out as “the old man” of the group.

I'm Russian , I grew up in a de-gulagized township in Siberia until being able to immigrate to the US in 1995. My grandfather served with the Russian Liberation Army and KONR against the Stalinist government in WWII and later against the Nazi's in the Prague Uprising. My grandmother worked in factories supporting the war effort both were later deported to Koenlag in Sibera where they raised a family, father's parents were Kulaks so they also lived in the Gulag. After the 20th meeting of the Soviets my family was given restricted living passports and rehabilitated as Soviet citizens with most rights returned. By the time i was a kid, the Gulag was reformed to an agricultural base town and I grew up like a normal kid, no one liked talking about the past. Then after the dissolution of the communist party and the Soviet Union we were given free access to immigration based on political asylum as a distressed group , moved to the US on those grounds. These boys in the easy company defeated a powerful oppressive regime and saved the Western world from oppression, it would take another 40 years for another powerful Regime to fall for some of us to find that freedom in the East. God bless the Easy Company and the United States of America.

During World War II, one of my uncles was in the Aleutian islands. He was evacuated after he contracted pneumonia, then sent to Europe after he recovered. He was wounded in action during the Battle of the Bulge. He died from complications of his wounds in 1963. My father served in New Guinea and the Phillipines. Another uncle was in the Pacific theater. He told his parents not to worry he was typing reports, but my Mother over heard her two brothers talking, and at least sometimes the typewriter was a machine gun. It was not unusual in the Pacific for every available man to be put into the lines when an attack was expected. My 8th grade science teacher was a navigator on a B-24. He was shot down over France and hidden by the Resistance until the area was occupied by the US Army. One of my college professors was conscripted into the Hitler Youth when he was 10 years old. You are correct not all Germans were Nazis, and it was hard to tell them apart.

I got to visit the National WWII Museum in New Orleans just days after Stephen Ambrose died. I was in the city to become a Naturalized US Citizen, still on Active Duty in the US Air Force. I toured the museum in my Service Uniform (for the discounted entrance ticket). Among the exhibits were recreations of Normandy and Bastogne. I imagined what it would have been like to be a Glider Pilot on D-Day, or going on night patrol during the Battle of the Bulge. I was the same rank as Frank, but had no subordinates in my department. As I walked through the "forest" I thought how I might lead a squad while keeping an ear out for sudden artillery as a sergeant would.

It makes me even angrier at people who start wars - be it Bush in Iraq, Putin in Ukraine or any other conflict. There is always a better way. And the people who start these horrible wars should never be given an inch of victory.

My grandfather served in the Army in Europe as a war crimes investigator. He mailed my mother a pressed flower from Berchtesgaden (she was eight when the war ended), but she said that when he came home he would never talk about what he'd seen. About capital punishment - I agree with you. If I had to kill someone to keep them from committing a murder, I would, reluctantly, but if they have been caught, tried, and convicted, the government has the duty to protect society from them, but that can be done without killing them. This was a source of some intense and painful conflict in my family. In 2013, my daughter's ex-husband murdered their nine-year-old son, my grandson. No details, but it was brutal and premeditated. This was in a state that has the death penalty. My daughter and others in the family wanted him to be sentenced to death. We all had to make statements at the sentencing. I was in a state beyond rage, but I realized that I could not believe in a principle but want an exception when my own emotions were involved. So I argued for him to go to prison for life without the possibility of parole. We ultimately accepted that we each felt the way we felt and did not have the right to tell each other how to feel. He was sentenced to 26 years to life, so he might be eligible for parole starting in another several years. If he does get a parole hearing, and if I am still alive and able to go, I will attend and argue against his release, but I'm glad I didn't argue for him to be executed.

16:10 Winters allowing the Colonel to keep his sidearm is something they breeze over in the show, but is probably one of the most significant things in the entire show. In WW2, officers were still seen as the "knights" of the army, positions of high honor and responsibility, and by allowing the Colonel to stay armed, he kept the officer's honor intact. He also knew that the Colonel was not stupid enough to try to use it, especially with thousands of American troops that would immediately mow him down if he even aimed it at anyone. That's why the Colonel has a surprised look, then a look of major respect, and nods once, because he understands the trust and honor shown to him, and returns it in kind.

Don Malarkey was the last of the featured men of Easy Company to pass in 2017. They got Joe Liebgott wrong though. He returned to the US and then just disappeared for a couple of years. It wasn't until 1947 that he told his parents he was home. He didn't drive a cab but became a barber and never talked about his service to anyone, not even his children. He died in 1992 but it wasn't until Band of Brothers aired that his family found out that he served. His kids searched his stuff and found his 506th PIR scrapbook and his jump wings.

I am a combat veteran of the 2003 Iraq invasion. It woke me up to the reality that since WW2 the US has become a hired mercenary group where WW2 was the official start of this. It made me dive into the history and philosophy of many aspects of our world from religion, politics, freedom to economics. I am still, to this day, studying and researching. I am actually, almost 40 years old, close to receiving my Psy. D. I have realized that Europe has never deserved the sacrifice from my American brothers and sisters who died in WW2. Through the things I've learned after my own service, I am not a hero and neither are the Americans who fought in any war since our Revolutionary War. The Minutemen/Continental Army are heroes. Actually, in all wars in world history these are the only soldiers who can be classified as heroes. Europe has, throughout history and to this day, been a stain on all humanity equal to lenin/Stalin Communism and Mao Marxism. Europe might be the roots for where the idea of real freedom came from, but real freedom hasn't ever been achieved yet and the flower of freedom started to blossom with the American Revolutionary War especially when the Constitution was written recognizing rights that are ours by birth and not granted to us by govt, a King, a Politburo or any other kind or kinds of rulers. Without Europeans today the world would be a lot safer place because we wouldn't have the tyrannical EU, UN or Klaus Schwabb. Europeans don't deserve the lives they have today.

In the follow-up documentary "We stand alone together" (which I highly recommend that you watch) we find out that some of them just continued with their lives after the war without ever even talking about what happened to them in the service. To them it was a just a duty that they needed to do. Maybe it was also because that experience was too painful or maybe they came from a generation that had already experienced suffering while growing up in the depression of the 30's that they were more able to shrug it off. I really hope this series will show future generations how to be honorable men.
