Maj Dick Winters Interview

[@beetheb]

I'm 43 years old, have grown kids and grandkids, but I still want to be Dick Winters when I grow up.

[@elefantapa6313]

Grandkids at 43?

[@JoyfulSaturn-cz2ui]

I agree with you. I was thinking the same. One of my former task force Commanders, who was also a friend was Commanding General of 101st AB 10 years later. He said something along the lines of being proud to be up there with Major Winters.

[@beetheb]

@elefantapa6313 Yep, was 20 when my oldest daughter was born, she has two kids, which she had at 19 and 21.

[@michaelcaudill1412]

I can’t believe the story about Blith! The mini series said he died in 1949. To hear he went in and fought in another war is freaking NUTS! That man went through a lot. Truly the greatest generation.

[@johnhudak3829]

Yeah it was an honest goof. There was another Albert Blythe and they got them mixed up was what I heard. Had something to do with the records they found when they researched it. Hey, at least they TRIED, right ?? Some of these movies, you wonder if anyone even gave a damn! LOL

[@FmlyRat]

I was drafted into the United States Army November 1969. When we got off the bus at Fort Lewis, Washington, we lined up next to the bus as ordered. One of the first things yelled at us was, "There are no excuses"! "Exuses are the tools of the incompetent !!!" I'll never forget that.

100,% agree with you.... Especially the story when he ran by the whole German army to link up with the other division and ran back too.... Not a hesitation in him... Germans were too shocked at first at what was happening to fire at him then couldn't hit him when they did..... In other wars too I'd love to hear his stories ... I know 1 lad wrote a book on Spiers... I'd love to remember the name of it... So I can get it . .👍😉

[@suggadeg]

What a leader Dick was. My poor grandfather was in the pacific in some of the most brutal combat of WW2. It’s amazing so many of these men actually made it home.

[@thechitownclown8972]

Right before my grandma passed away I was at her nursing home and I had the privilege to talk to a vet who fought on Iwo Jima. Man, the things he told me were incredible. It just killed me when he started tearing up when said "the japs really put us through hell on the beach. I lost a lot of friends right there." He had this stare. It's like he was just looking into nothing and you could tell, him talking about it, he was just seeing it all in his head. But I was really happy I got to talk to him. I'll probably never hear a story like that again.

[@Swoost]

And the 101st almost made it to the pacific when they didnt see the end of fighting in sight yet after VE day. Even more good men would have died

[@leegibbs1727]

My uncle was in Burma. Wish i was old enough to understand and talk to him about it

[@tomkavulic7178]

My grandfather also fought in the pacific. He told a story about how he killed a man on Guadalcanal with his knife. He was wounded twice, had a grenade shot out of his hand. It is improbable to say the least that he came home, but he did.

[@suggadeg]

@@tomkavulic7178 my grandfather told me a similar story about seeing his friend get stabbed to death in a foxhole. Then he strangled the Japanese solider to death. After being slashed across his chest by a katana. It seemed unbelievable to me, but he did have a scar on his chest, and I have a picture of him on Saipan with a bandage across his torso.

[@bamadad53]

Bless Winters heart for setting the record straight on Private Blithe. The mini series depicted Blithe as a loof who was scared of his own shadow and that his fear cost essentially cost him his life after being wounded in the throat. Sounds more like the man was a true hero.

[@LionAndALamb]

@stysner4580 I agree, I didn't see him as a coward, I saw him as a young man who experienced profound shock. None of us keyboard warriors can even imagine the horrors those men witnessed and endured.

[@violagentsch]

Hollywood. 👎

[@SeattleMarinerMan]

Actually, it was getting over his fear that cost him. If you remember by this point he was basically getting over it. He actually volunteered to take point before being shot.

[@cmakelky37]

That's a lie. They show him volunteering when no one else would. That he got shot from that. That's true and not cowardly

[@EH-nw6bu]

I was lucky enough to meet Maj Winters twice. He was in the PX doing a booking signing at Carlisle Barracks and the second time was at Ft Indiantown Gap where was a guest speaker talking about the importance of the NCO and Officer relationship during a leadership conference. At his book signing, I was able to talk with him for a short time, less than 10 minutes, general conversation and that was it. At the speaking event, I was chosen, along with two other NCO's to have an extended visit. We ate lunch and MAJ Winters talked about coming to FIG on his way back home from WWII. The thing that stuck with me, is how much he respected his men and how he would refer to them. In my opinion, he was one of the most amazing officers to ever serve in the Army.

[@sassycat6487]

I just watched BoB for the first time and afterwards I was thinking there's no way the real Major Winters was like this.. they are making him to be the most upstanding man and a true hero, this is just Hollywood surely. But sure enough, it was actually spot on and he really was just an incredible man and loved by all.

I had my son watch Band of Brothers by the time he reached middle school to know what it means to be free and the cost of freedom. I love Dick Winters and his integrity, values and his morality is something my heart longs for especially in the generation we’re living in now. I appreciate the type of man and leader he was and I will continue to try and emulate his character every day of my life.

I hope I have reason to disagree with your comment about the last adults. These men were asked the question and answered it the full mix of humanity, sinners and heroism but with heroism taking the principal part we should learn and cherish them.

A great man and a tremendous leader - Even today when people arrive at Fort Campbell and the 101st It is the rich heritage of leaders like Major Winters have left behind, that the patch comes with a profound responsibility and has impacts on those who wear it, in order to live up to all of those who have worn the patch in the past. I served in the 101st for nearly 7 years, out of 21 years it was the best place I have been, there was an awful lot to live up to- I guess is a way to put it.

[@mattjohnson7757]

BOB depicted Blythe as a coward and then died of his wounds, when in fact, according Maj. Winters, Blythe went on to get the SS, BS and PH in Korea. As an airborne trooper. Why would the movie not honor Blythe with the truth?

It’s hard to keep exact track of shit that happened so long ago. Though they did show him as being super scared they also showed him man up, get through it and take point before being wounded. They also show him killing a German soldier. Sounds like a damn warrior to me.

[@jwilson9273]

Regarding Blithe, I didn't get a sense that he was a poor Soldier. I saw a Soldier who grappled with and overcame his fear, both of combat and the thought of killing another human being (a very real struggle for Soldiers). I do appreciate the follow up regarding the rest of Blithe's career.

[@nateroberto6239]

The most interesting part of this interview for me from a philisophical peresepctive is the end. Notice how throughout the entire interview this incredible individual managed to remain relatively stoical. Through talking about the death of friends, the horrific bombardments, the killing and the camps. But what eventually started to break him down was his piece on freedom. He wants so badly for us to understand, to strive for more. To not take our circumstances for granted and fall into despotism. To go through all that and still care so deeply for humanity in his aging days. What a remarkable man. He makes me want to be better.

[@marcelrenes2435]

He's so right. We in The Netherlands will never, ever forget what you guys did for us. Still to this day! To give you a personal story. My granddad lived in the Northeast of The Netherlands (Winschoten). He was forced to work for the Germans (Arbeitseinzats) but he would'nt. So he went into hiding. A farmers family just outside his town took him and another man in their house. He was however betrayed. When the Germans came to the farm, he hid himself in a cesspool with just his head sticking out of the cowshit. They found him though. He had to work for over 2 years in Kiel where they build U-boats. Every time the allied bombers came he hoped they would hit the U-boat factory. The workers had to take cover in the factory instead of the bunkers. Those were for the Germans. When he made a mistake one day, he was send for a week to concentration camp Neuengamme near Hamburg. He never spoke about what he went through there. It was too traumatic. Until the day he died he could'nt go to the market on Saturday. Because Winschoten was close to the border, many Germans went to this market. My grandma later said that he got flashbacks of the war when he heard so many german speaking people. So after 3 or 4 attempts, he just stayed at home. The farmers family was punished for hiding him and the other man by a big fine and taking away their foodstamps for soap etc. They needed those farmers to produce food for the Germans. When my granddad got home from the war, he was'nt starved but lost about 40 pounds. He was treated this 'good' because he was blonde with blue eyes. The Germans saw him as a part of the Arian master race. He just had to be thaught a lesson. That's what happens when you lose your freedom and try to stand up to it. You need to fight for your freedom every day. Otherwise you can lose it to nationists like Orban, Putin or Trump.

It's sad knowing all the boys of Easy company have passed on, these guys were my childhood heroes. I am 28 and they are still my heroes !

[@idget600]

As a life long student of history, my fear has always been that when these hero's are gone and what they achieved for the world would be forgotten, has sadly come to fruition. At Nijmegen in 1979, following the 4 day march that still occurs every year in July, we were the US Medical support for the military unit participants. Being we were the first aid station each day, on the last day we quickly dissassembeled our Aid station and headed downtown for the arrival of the military and civilian marchers. We were first in shock at the Dutch citizens responses when the Allies (US, Britain, Canada, etc) came into view, they were swamped by a crying, jubilant crowd who acted as if we had just liberated them. Flowers for the soldiers, in concert with hugs and kisses overwhelmed all present. We were not warned of this, yet their heartfelt gratitude and love expressed will never be forgotten. The party downtown that night was as unforgettable as well. We were very proud to be representing our country and NATO. This can never be forgotten, the war, the dictators, the lies, the lost of lives. 70 million plus did not die in vain! (Total estimated military and civilian losses worldwide).

[@gailruby9664]

Just a follow up story of Nijmegen. I went to an open air market in Nijmegen more than 30 years ago with my husband's aunt, who lived in Cijk. I remarked on how clever it was that the city had left such an open space in its center for the market. She told me that Nijmegen was mistakenly bombed by allies on a foggy night, which created the space we were shopping space we were in!

[@JustinRM20]

Do not worry, their stories and sacrifice will never be forgotten. My grandfather was born in Holland he never stopped speaking about the war; the planes flying over, the Germans stealing their stuff and the sacrifices made by civilians by resisting. My grandmother survived the bombing of Rotterdam, and the story she tells me most fondly is when they were being liberated is receiving chocolate and chewing gum from Allied soldiers, I don’t recall if it was the Canucks, Yanks or Brits who went through Rotterdam, but she never forgot. Our grandparents always told us these stories and brought it up everytime we came over for dinner. Many of my friends grew up with the same story, you’d be surprised to see how much of the youth is interested in this and recognizes the sacrifices made.

When you have served, or lost a loved one, or have trouble with addiction, or are scarred by injury, you need to be with people who have suffered as you have. Those who have never suffered, even though they might feel they have utter empathy, repeat platitudes which are inadequate. This is why 'support groups' are essential. Although they went their separate ways, these men had each other. A true 'Band of Brothers'. Would that the same expense was made in 'decommissioning assets' as was spent in training them.
