WW2 Film - 101st AIRBORNE - "The Widow Makers" | FALLEN EAGLE Trailer - 5K HD

[@justmusic8166]

I had an uncle, he was a war hero, he got shell shock, I wish my grandparents could have explained it to us children, my grandmother showed me some shells made into an airplane, she said never mention it to my uncle God Bless

[@davidbradley3735]

So proud of my grandmother's little brother, my uncle Ernest was just a poor hillbilly from Muldrow Oklahoma in the Cookson Hills when he was drafted in WW2, and he volunteered for the Airborn for the extra 50 bucks a month!! Made all 3 combat jumps with the 101st ABID! Wish he could have lived longer. He passed away in 1995, a multi millionaire !!

[@billcarpenter5145]

I'm a former member of the 101 st . They only made two combat jumps in WW 2 NORMANDY AND Hollend , they Fought in the battle of the bulge but went in by trucks , there were only two Jumps

I served as a Widowmaker from 1992-1996 (C-3/502 Infantry Regiment. I will watch to see if this turns in to a feature-length film.

Someone needs to tell these "soldiers" to keep their bloody fingers off the triggers when you have friendly soldiers in front of you.

[@shooter505]

Trigger finger discipline didn't become common or even taught until long after WW2.

I had the privilege of meeting a man who came in on the gliders on D Day. He engaged a German in heavy fog. He survived. God bless him. His name was Joe Lucero. His experience of D Day was short but the main thing is that he survived. God bless all those who served and still do, to this day.

502nd Company? Pretty sure they meant 502nd Battalion. Companies are normally named A, B, C, etc. Battalions are normally numbered, as are brigades.

[@jimofannarbor1472]

No, it was the 502nd PIR (parachute infantry regiment.) My father was in the 511th PIR.

[@steveokula5762]

The 101st had American flags sown to their sleeves when they dropped into Normandy. Paratroops were not overweight, middle-aged men, and I suppose we are to believe they picked up English accents while they were training in Engalnd.

it's pretty crap imho

Read the book "Band of Brothers" by Dick Winters. It's a true account of many in Easy Company, including himself, losing their gear due to prop wash.

[@PopsOnethirtyfive-vb8tr]

There were a couple of troopers that would never had made it through airborne training as fat as they are in this film. You have to be a garrison soldier to get that out of shape.

There’s no such thing as 502 Company. 502 would be a regiment. A unit designation from regiment to company would be Charlie company 1/502. The 1/502 is 1st battalion of the 502 regiment (ABN). The ABN is airborne. These little details matter.

The guys with M1 Garands are wearing M1 CARBINE bandoliers in .30 cal. Wrong ammo. The GARAND took 30.06 cartridges! I was in the 502nd in the 80's and remember the history of the unit. There were no British guys and they are way to old to be playing those parts. I'll give them a shout out cause they filmed this. But it needed to be cast a little better and more detail should have been paid to the uniforms

[@Hambone571]

It’s a movie….it’s “entertainment.” Made by an independent filmmaker without the Hollywood backers millions. You could also mention the clean shiny boots, not a speck of dirt on the uniforms, the precise wearing of all perfectly issue gear, the pristine condition of those Garands, etc, etc.. this is just nit picking. Unless your a WW2 historian as I, or a vet knowing of this era, this stuff isn’t even noticed by the average person watching for “entertainment….

[@davidreinhart418]

And they did not carry grease guns.

Uniforms are spot-on. Great looking. Are they WW2 reenactment actors? Most of them look like they're in their senior years. The average age of US Servicemen in WW2 was 19-20 years old. Just my observation. Anyway, I like the film. Well made.

[@raybeeger1529]

Ok, nice. The German language was really bad, guys but for @AS512 if you walk fast you will die fast in a situation like that. You have to check the ground and the environment permanently and you have to be very quiet with all the metal parts, your steps, mines a.s.o.

[@theofarmmanager267]

I thought this was excellent. I know that there will be those who will want to celebrate every little error made in filming but you can safely ignore those. Learn lessons for sure but those critiques are more about boosting their ego than be constructive. Yes, I’m sure you will review this and know what could be done a little better next time. I saw it for free and am very grateful. I obviously don’t know your budget but I presume it wasn’t large: well, you did a very good job. Good acting; excellent photography and a very interesting storyline. I love that you didn’t go straight into the guns firing - a lesson others should surely take. I very much look forward to the next episode.

[@stevenhall2408]

Them some big old paratroopers 😊. I like the gear, rigger pouches are cool but the air brush camo just ain't right. Green paint on the M3? Great uncle JD was in the 101in WW2, I was Airborne too but I reenacted with the CHG, standards were better.

comments are critical - but i will tell you even the highest budget films about WW2 fall far, far short of the mark on accuracy. saving private ryan - the opening beach scenes were FULL of errors. so, for a very low budget film this one is actually pretty cool - who (no matter what age) wouldn't want to be doing this ? hell, tom sizemore was 87 years old during the filming of SPR and he was about 300lbs overweight.

Great camera, looks really nice (well, apart from the cut where the bird interrupts, and then again with the targets in the background). I’d rather the story was more like «dads goes to war» as opposed to the US 101st.
