The song that the company was singing as they were leaving on the trucks early in the episode is called “Blood Upon the Risers” & is sung to the tune of “Battle Hymm of the Republic”. The lyrics are: He was just a cherry trooper and he surely shook with fright He checked off his equipment and made sure his pack was tight; He had to sit and listen to those awful engines roar, "You ain't gonna jump no more!" (CHORUS) Gory, gory, what a helluva way to die, Gory, gory, what a helluva way to die, Gory, gory, what a helluva way to die, He ain't gonna jump no more! "Is everybody happy?" cried the Sergeant looking up, Our Hero feebly answered "Yes," and then they stood him up; He jumped into the icy blast, his static line unhooked, And he ain't gonna jump no more. (CHORUS) He counted long, he counted loud, he waited for the shock, He felt the wind, he felt the cold, he felt the awful drop, The silk from his reserve spilled out and wrapped around his legs, And he ain't gonna jump no more. (CHORUS) The risers swung around his neck, connectors cracked his dome, Suspension lines were tied in knots around his skinny bones; The canopy became his shroud; he hurtled to the ground. And he ain't gonna jump no more. (CHORUS) The days he'd lived and loved and laughed kept running through his mind, He thought about the girl back home, the one he'd left behind; He thought about the medics and wondered what they'd find, And he ain't gonna jump no more. (CHORUS) The ambulance was on the spot, the jeeps were running wild, The medics jumped and screamed with glee, rolled up their sleeves and smiled, For it had been a week or more since last a 'chute had failed, And he ain't gonna jump no more. (CHORUS) He hit the ground, the sound was "Splat," his blood went spurting high, His comrades then were heard to say: "A helluva way to die!" He lay there rolling round in the welter of his gore, And he ain't gonna jump no more. (CHORUS) (slowly, solemnly) There was blood upon the risers, there were brains upon the chute, Intestines were a'dangling from his Paratrooper suit, He was a mess; they picked him up, and poured him from his boots, And he ain't gonna jump no more Gory, gory, what a helluva way to die, Gory, gory, what a helluva way to die, Gory, gory, what a helluva way to die, He ain't gonna jump no more!

My grandfather's bomber was shot down over Germany during WW2. There were only 2 survivors. They were sent to a POW camp in Poland, then marched across the country as the Allies closed in at the end of the war. He weighed under 90lbs when finally liberated. He was over 6ft tall. There wasn't a PTSD diagnosis in those days, but I am certain he suffered from it. The stories he told of the atrocities he witnessed on that march were horrific. It really wasn't until near the end of his life that he found some peace from the memories. I think he would be pleased that young people like you are learning the history and understand just how messed up war is. Honestly, your reaction has me in tears.

[@GerSan1979]

I love that you guys have the heart at the right place. Cam was almost glitching (this does not compute). This episode could've been named "The Death of Innocence". It is hell. Also, about the question of how much Germans and other Europeans knew about the Holocaust while it was ongoing continues to be debated by historians.With regards to Nazi Germany, some historians argue that it was an open secret amongst the population whilst others highlight a possibility that the German population were genuinely unaware of the Final Solution. Peter Longerich argues that the Holocaust was an "open secret" by early 1943, but some authors place it even earlier. However, after the war, many Germans claimed that they were ignorant of the crimes perpetrated by the Nazi regime. After much study about WWII (is just the reason the world is as it is right now) I came to the conclussion that most germans knew about concentration camps, but most of them didn't know about ovens, execution chambers and all that. They were classified as "arbeit" (work) camps. Some of them were aware of this, but they were afraid of saying something against those monsters that could easily end their lives. Also, the fact that allied troops and officers didn't know exactly about this, was somewhat a proof that it wasn't broadcasted. What I'm trying to say is that, for example, a LOT of the german soldiers in the front were totally unconscious of this practices. Normally SS controlled the camps, not the regular army (wermacht) I visited Normandy some years ago, and I met a very kind lady who saw us taking pictures. She was german, also visiting Normandy (France) and we talked. She told me about her being a child and believing that they were winning the war the day before Russians entered Berlin. As a society they were constantly brainwashed and being told relative truths or just plain lies. Having the perspective of people who lived all that is just amazing, because something as evil as that seems far from reality, like a movie or a tale, but sadly reality outdoes fiction. Great episode guys.

[@samanderson7745]

The way they were able to portray the prisoners as emaciated as they were they recruited the actors from cancer wards. Stories state the production crew was worried about the health and the amount of work that the actors had to go through and wanted to lighten the load on them. The actors, however, refused such and said the story was too important to show. A number of the actors didn't live to see the episode.

[@mlong1958]

This is the most hard hitting episode. Although Easy was there and assisted, they were not the primary company that liberated the camp. I can't remember who did. The actors were offered the chance to see the camp before filming but refused. They wanted their emotions to be as real as possible. If you notice, in the camp is the only time that Perconte got O'Keefe's name right. Refeeding syndrome is a real thing. You have to reintroduce food slowly.

Colonel Edward Seiller of the 12th Armored military government took control of the camp and he is the one who ordered civilians from the Landsberg am Lech area to bury the dead. Easy Company arrived in the afternoon of April 28.

It reminds me of what our government and media are doing to us today. Influencing people to hate others for reasons that are totally insane if you actually take the time to think it through.

The power and influence that the Nazi party gained was largely in part of how Germany was neutered after the first world war. They took advantage of the hate and frustration of the people to direct itself towards those the Nazis hated. Even before that, tensions between European nations stemmed from years and years of hate between each other. It's decades, or even centuries of hate that was never quenched and only spread to more and more people.

19:23 "How, how? How can you convince a whole nation to do this?" Voltaire in 1795 said "Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities". It happened back then.

No, there are no mass killing yet today, but the pattern is the same. You are correct Hitler was not dumb. He was genius. He is what in political science is called an "Ethnic Entrepreneur". Somebody who exploits ethnic factions for personal gains and agendas. Exploiting feeling "we have to act or we would be replaced. We need to get rid of them otherwise they will get rid of us". It worked for Hitler, it worked for Milosevic. It is working for Putin now. That's the answer to you "How". Remember the chants in Charlottesville? The white nationalist were chanting "You will not replace us". Somebody important in DC said these were fine people. "There were fine people on both sides".

Not a Trump supporter by any means, but it's too easy to dismiss this as something the other side does, in this case white Conservative leaning men. At this time, the most common hate crimes that I'm seeing on the news are black men, and their target is people of Asian descent, mostly women and the elderly. Just a few days ago a black man in New York City walked up to a 59 year old woman of Chinese descent on her way to work. He slashed her with a box cutter. At other times Asians have been pushed down escalators, pushed in front of trains, and stabbed. A black men just had his first court appearance for walking after an elderly Asian woman when she went into her apartment lobby (after calling her an Asian bitch on the street). He punched her over 100 times, which they know because it was caught on surveillance tape. There is also a report of a transwoman, usually black, assaulted or murdered by a black man every couple of weeks. As for politicans inciting violence, American cities were looted and burned, and a few people murdered, all through 2020. The Democrats (who I voted for) did not condemn this for months, and Kamala Harris said she was surprised the whole country wasn't on fire, which essentially condoned the violence. The mainstream media downplayed the violence as, famously, "mostly peaceful protests", also essentially condoning it. Until we have a national dialog that includes the atrocities being committed by non white Americans and leftist "protesters" who torch cities to denounce violence, as well as the hate filled right, we're only hearing half the story.

It's always important to remember to not view the German soldiers who committed these atrocities as devils because it removes the realism from these horrific events making them seem otherworldly. Of course, when we learn about these things, we all think to ourselves "how could they?". But the real and frightening answer is "it's simpler than you think." Because the fact is the German soldiers who did this were not demons, they were just regular people like you and me. Prior to WWII, Germany was under such crippling poverty that they turned to any man who had an "answer" to their suffering and this was the result. This realization is necessary to understand just how easy it is to sway human minds into believing such vile philosophies and that it can happen at literally any moment in history, even today. And I truly believe realizing that and understanding just HOW a person could be so easily brainwashed is key to help prevent such a thing from ever happening again.

Spiers is going around & getting his “spoils of war/souvenirs” & sending it back to his wife so she could sell it & use the money to live on. Spiers married an English woman. She was a widow after her husband was reported killed in the war. Spiers and his wife eventually had a son. When the war was over her 1st husband came home. He was not dead after all. The report of his death was a bureaucratic error by the British military. The guy had, in fact, been a POW. Spiers’ wife chose her 1st husband over Spiers despite having Spiers’ child. The 1st husband forgave his wife & they continued their marriage with Spiers becoming the odd man out. Spiers’ son grew up & became a member of the British Army Airborne.

Your reaction about the KZ being "evil" is exactly the reaction I had, what I felt when I visited Buchenwald in 1992 and Dachau last year. You can still feel that evil in gthe air, standing on the parade ground or at the crematorium. It still grips me when visiting some German city like I periodically do and I run into a tiny metal marker on the street with the name of the person who'd live in the house its set in front of. When they lived there, when they were taken away and when/where they were exterminated. My father fought with Patton, so this means he entered France probably around July 1944, after D-Day, but then fought across Europe. He never told of having seen the camps, but I can imagine he might have. Another very moving place for me was the US cemetery in Normandy. Or the Canadian cemetary at the Canadian museum which is in the center of what was the Canadian landing zone. I've been living in Europe since 1977 and you don't get confronted with this aspect of the history often. Yet, every little town or village in Germany, France, Austria has some commemorative to the fallen in various wars. None of them try to celebrate the heroics of the fallen, but rather are simply witness to the wasted lives lost in these conflicts on all sides. I hope we learn these lessons and don't let this happen again, though I fear the time will repeat itself, this time coming from a completely different direction.

[@catfrab]

My father was in the Brit forces who liberated the Bergen Belson concentration camp. Your reaction same as previous generations. I remember all emotions learning about this as a kid. Anger, disgust, pity, horror, confusion, all ranges of emotion. So it should be for future generations. We should never forget what evil men did to innocents. It can never be allowed to happen again.

Yeah.. the 'song'....Both my Grandfathers served in WW2... One in the European Theater (Infantry) and one in the Pacific (Seabee)... Gallows humor was common when at any moment you faced what they were facing. It alleviated the fear, the unknown, the horror of what you were seeing. It's how soldiers bond. BTW... If you are ever in Washington DC, the Holocaust Museum is something I highly recommend you visit. It would answer a whole lot of your questions about "How could this happen?"... Also there are incredible incidents of heroism in the face of these events that if not enshrined there, would probably be lost in the annals of time. Like the French resistance, the Jewish uprising in Warsaw, the German athletes from the Berlin Olympics that refused to salute the Nazi regime flag, or the Swedish Sewing Society ... who organized an underground trafficking's of dissidents into neutral Switzerland.

[@jimg1787]

I dont mean to be disrespectful when I say this, but its important that your generation know and understand that this happened.

[@ireneusz-u9i]

The first concentration camps were organized in the Third Reich in 1933, i.e. before World War II, under the "exceptional regulation for the protection of the nation and the state" of February 28, 1933. In 1933, the SA and the SS and the police organized further camps , incl. in Oranienburg, Berlin (the so-called Columbia-Haus), Königsberg (Quednau), Papenburg, Esterwegen, Kemna bei Wuppertal, Sonnenburg, Sachsenburg, Lichtenburg. In 1934, the concentration camps were subordinated to the SS, and the Dachau camp became a model camp. The headquarters of these camps from 1936 (until the end of the war) were located in Oranienburg. In the following years, camps were established in: Sachsenhausen (1936), Buchenwald (1937), Mauthausen (1938), Flossenbürg (1938) and a camp for women in Ravensbrück (1939). It is estimated that before the war, 165,000-170,000 prisoners passed through the German camps.

Earlier this summer I went to an Auschwitz exhibition here in Sweden. It was horrible. Interesting but horrible. After walking around looking at personal items and listening to what the nazi's did I was emotional drained; and in the last room there were video clips of happy people living their lives, and the question that I had in my head was how would they have lived their lives if this didn't happen? Would someone found the cure for cancer? How much did Hitler take away from humanity and future generations?

[@luketimewalker]

InB4 I watch. SPIELBERG set out to produce Schindler and then Private Ryan then Band of Brothers then the Pacific... because one day, when talking to a twentysomething, he mentioned the Holocaust. The 20something said "WHAT'S THAT?" Steven Spielberg from that point on... felt he had a mission on Earth. And boy was he right. I myself experienced that, 10 years ago, with a 20 year old friend of my ex. I was watching the PIANIST (you guys, REACT to it, it's with Adrien Brody, and it's about Jews in Poland during WW2). Friend popped by while I was watching the film. Stays silent. Then asks "why is this guy hiding". Me: he's Jewish. It takes placed in Warsaw during WW2. 20something friend : "uhhhh... what's that got to do with anything?" My jaw dropped to the ground and shattered like a million pieces. True, my dad was old when he fathered me. He experienced nazi occupation of France. His best friend had to wear a yellow star, was forbidden to play in the park with the others, didn't have the right to buy new clothes or white bread. And one day his seat at school was left vacant. He never came back. Was turned to ashes by some pig-faced peasant somewhere in Poland. I have a direct connection to this all through my late father. For all the rest of us... Spielberg was put on this Earth. Oh. And you guys - 20somethings, looking like budding Tom Hardy and sargent Horvath - are LIVING PROOF that mister Spielberg can say MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. Thank you bros. From Paris with love

[@PrayerWarrior4]

I remember when I argued with a high school teacher who tried pushing the narrative that the Holocaust never happened...sadly, there are more young people who are being lied to and are accepting that the Jews were never targeted....I often refer this series and this particular episode...and yes, Hitler was a big believer in the scientific theory of Eugenics, that one group of people is more superior to everyone else...sadly, many schools and universities are still teaching this racist theory not as a history lesson but as facts...it is truly disgusting... Btw, not all German civilizations and soldiers knew about the camps unless they lived near them. The propaganda ministry knew that there would be revolts and more protests, which did happen a lot because the SS secret police and Natzi youth (boy scouts) spying and shooting their own citizens and families I they don't agree with their dictator. There were German soldiers and civilians who defected to the Allies, but they are never brought up enough in history classes. Look up the movie Valkyrie staring Tom Cruise, a true story about a plot to kill Hitler by the Germans.

[@wolfgar271]

A little trivia, the French soldier executing the Germans on the side of the road was Tom Hanks. The camp prisoners were mostly played by cancer patients because they couldn't find healthy people that looked that emaciated and gaunt, even with makeup. On a number of occasions, the crew worried about their health during filming but the actors insisted on continuing to film because they felt it was so important to tell this story. I highly recommend you guys watch Schindler's List. It would a good follow-up to this episode (once you finish BOB). That film will get you even more angered and sickened at times, but there is also a huge restoration of faith in humanity. Moreover, it is a true story that is very important to be retold so no one ever forgets (it should be a mandatory film to watch in high school as far as I'm concerned). Keep it up guys.

[@iammanofnature235]

_it is a true story_ Not exactly. Schindler's List is a historical drama that is loosely based on actual events. And of course the liberation of Kaufering IV (Hurlach) shown in Band of Brothers is entirely fictional and was written specifically for dramatic effect. In reality, Easy Company arrived the day after Kaufering IV (Hurlach) had been liberated by the 12th Armored Division on April 27, 1945 and there were only a handful of prisoners found alive along with about 500 bodies.

[@mikeplata3134]

They weren't French soldiers. They were Russian soldiers.

[@wolfgar271]

​@@mikeplata3134 Sorry to disagree with you but they were clearly French. French uniforms, French M26 Adrian helmets, speaking French, using a British No.4 Mk I Enfield rifle and a Mauser pistol (which saw limited use in free French forces). The Russians were advancing from the east and were not in that area. There are even video clips titled "French Soldiers Execute Germans" depicting the scene.

[@BTinSF]

A few points: - The German officer into whose house Nixon went was Wehrmacht, not SS, and there were significant numbers of Prussian-type Wehrmacht officers (whether or not actually Prussian but professional soldiers with honor) who avoided participation in Hitler's atrocities as much as they could. - The contrast between the horrors of the concentration camp and the ending with the string quartet playing Beethoven is meant, I think, to contrast the highs and lows of German civilization and I wish you had showed and commented on that last bit in its completenesss.

[@garymathena2125]

There were more than enough who did participate in the in it. I have heard all the lies and excuses; about we didn't know, or we didn't ask.

[@iammanofnature235]

_but my family was neighborhood friends with the Malarkey's_ Well, then you know that the liberation scenes are completely fictional and were written entirely for dramatic effect. The 12th Armored Division liberated Kaufering IV (Hurlach) on April 27, 1945 with Easy Company actually arriving on April 28. And there were only a handful of survivors along with about 500 bodies. *From the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum:* _As US armed forces approached the Kaufering complex in late April 1945, the SS began evacuating the camps, sending the prisoners on death marches in the direction of Dachau. Those inmates who could not keep up were often shot or beaten to death by the guards. At Kaufering IV, the SS set fire to the barracks killing hundreds of prisoners who were too ill or weak to move._ _When the 12th Armored Division and 101st Airborne Division arrived at Kaufering IV on April 27 and 28, respectively, the soldiers discovered some 500 dead inmates. In the days that followed, the US Army units ordered the local townspeople to bury the dead._ *From the National WW2 Museum:* _On April 27, 1945, the 12th Armored Division reached Kaufering IV. The 101st Airborne Division arrived the next day, with the 522nd Field Artillery Battalion and 36th Infantry Division arriving on April 30. The liberators found this Bavarian camp in one of the worst conditions of the Dachau subcamps._ *From the U.S. Army Airborne and Special Operations Museum:* _At its height, the camp held more than 3,600 prisoners, but in the days before the 101st arrived, the SS had evacuated many of the prisoners on a death march south in the direction of Dachau. Hundreds of inmates were too ill or weak to make the trek, so the SS guards set fire to the barracks at Kaufering IV to prevent their liberation by U.S. troops._ _When the US Army’s 12th Armored Division and 101st Airborne Division arrived at Kaufering IV on April 27th and 28th, in that order, the Soldiers discovered some 500 dead prisoners.

[@nickpalumbo8046]

It seems crazy that so many people would go along with the holocaust, but when you think about it, it becomes more understandable. Hitler was a veteran of world war 1 and really patriotic. He seemed to be super charismatic and had ideas that could help the country. He sounds like a great leader which is why people wanted him in charge. Once he took power he put other people that thought like him in positions of power. Then they obviously started the holocaust. If the soldiers refused orders they could easily be killed. A lot of the common soldiers probably didnt want to kill the Jews, but they had no choice.

Well done young men. You were about to ask, “how do you unsee this?” The answer is you don’t. It’s why we fight. We fight evil. Ronald Reagan put it best when speaking about the fight against Communism. “If nothing in life is worth dying for, when did this begin-just in the face of this enemy? Or should Moses have told the children of Israel to live in slavery under the pharaohs? Should Christ have refused the cross? Should the patriots at Concord Bridge have thrown down their guns and refused to fire the shot heard ’round the world? The martyrs of history were not fools, and our honored dead who gave their lives to stop the advance of the Nazis didn’t die in vain.”

I was lucky enough that when I was in high school there is a Holocaust Literature class you could take. (I've always been interested in learning about it specifically since I was a kid, cause everyone in my family loves learning about the wars) We watched a ton of movies/actual film of the Holocaust and read a bunch of the important books about that time. We had a final project for that class, we had to have some type of event/speaker thing that we could pair up with local charities (to help them get donations). My group was just 3 people, I came up with the idea of an Art Show while the other two people were looking for a Speaker about the Holocaust. We had an Art show that had themed pieces connected to the Holocaust (including some school projects for that class and some from a nonprofit that I know) and the other two people got ahold of a speaker, Her name is Sonja DuBois and she has a book you could read. But that entire experience and opportunity of that class has helped me in so many ways and the fact some people refuse to believe that what happened wasn't real baffles me.

It was a shock to everyone. The Allies knew there were such places and that things were not going well there. They received reports of resistance movements from all over occupied Europe. But no one expected such a horror. This atrocity has overwhelmed everyone. After the discovery of the children's camps in German-occupied Poland, the Russians did not take prisoners in a pact. In the camps they met 18-year-old girls who looked like old women.

[@salvadoraceves4327]

Your level of outrage is appropriate for what you're seeing in this episode. As bad as the images are, it doesn't compare to what the consent ration camp survivors looked like in real life. You can't get people that skinny, safely, for filming. As for how can people go along with this, unfortunately it's easy. When you can dehumanize people through lies, and prejudice, people can do all kinds of horrific things to each other. Remember, Hitler didn't do this alone. Hitler couldn't have done this alone. Remember what you have seen here. When the Twitter mob calls a modern politician a Nazi, you should have something to say about that. No modern politician is perfect. But no modern politician is a Nazi. All of the prejudice, and scapegoating is how all of this got started. And that is how it will get started again.

[@nemesis4852]

This episode really speaks for itself. Emotionally it's hard to make comments about this episode however, here they are. The truth is that other than psychopaths, (who are often given positions of authority in despotic regimes such as this) populations are led into these situations incrementally, for example, in German cities, the Nazis essentially fired all or most members of their regular police forces and repopulated them with ardent "party members" who were inclined to become more brutalizing to the population in general. And then they had the Gestapo whose attention you really did not want to get. Also, we have to understand that most civilized people really don't want to know the truth about the rumors they are probably hearing about. If you actually "know" something that can be pretty conflicting. In the military, they organized special units such as the Einsatzgruppen who were Schutzstaffel (SS) paramilitary death squads of Nazi Germany that were responsible for mass killings, primarily by shooting, during World War II. They also compartmentalized all their activities so as to keep secret as much as possible the evil that the state was committing. Watch: Schindler's List, The Pianist, and The Wannsee Conference. It is worth noting that the horrible atrocities committed by the Nazis in WWII pale in comparison by sheer numbers to those committed by Stalin and Mao Zedong. As humans, we share the capacity for great good or great evil. It takes great courage to plumb the depths of our own consciousness to become aware of who we really are. God bless. Stay alert and situationally aware in the times we are in. Be safe and keep the faith Bros. You are both great reactors.

As horrific as what episode nine depicted, the reality was much, much worse. How many camps, the SS did not want the allies to find the prisoners, so they marched them away, for miles. Those too weakened by starvation and brutality to keep up were shot on the spot or just dropped dead where they fell. This included Allied prisoners of war. Many of these camps continued in operation for up to five years after the ended, most operated by the Soviets. High-ranking Allied officers knew these camps existed from aerial photographs, but they didn’t know what exactly they were or what was happening in them, so no mention of them was made to the troops. So they were totally unprepared for what they found.

Now, you need to watch Come and See from 1985. It’s a Russian film that’s about the Soviet partisans fighting in modern day Belarus. It is one of the most impactful films of all time and is the closest thing to the real thing without it being the real thing. The director of the film was present during the evacuation of Stalingrad and the co-writer was a Belo-russian partisan. Be warned, it fought Soviet censors for over a decade because it was too realistic and even the director said if he made it more real, even he couldn’t watch it.

"How do you convince a whole nation to do this?" Three factors have been huge in history. Blurring of objective moral lines, elevation of a transcendent good, and dehumanization of people who stand in the way of that good being realized. In the 17-19th centuries the good was maximization of profit from ready cash crops; in the 1930-40s, a purified Lebensraum for a pure people; by 1973, sexual liberty without burden of childrearing. It's easy to be righteous about the first two now, for they have been universally condemned by the sober judgment of history, no matter how many feigned innocence in the moment--but the third will be as well.

[@benballesteros6346]

Watch “Shoah”, a documentary made in 1985. A French film which interviews Germans who lived in cities close to the concentration camps.
