- The MAKING OF Band of Brothers.
Enjoy BEHIND THE SCENES footage shot during the infamous BOOT CAMP run by Capt Dale Dye, that was used to turn these actors into WW2 Paratroopers.... Capt Dale Dye had used similar techniques in the preparations for Platoon, Saving Private Ryan and The Pacific.
Executive produced by Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg, Band of Brothers tells the remarkable story of the men of Easy Company-506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division.
Currahee!
Easy Company, 506th PIR, 101st Airborne Division.
If they hadn't done that boot camp, I don't think the series would be as realistic as it was. Best show I've seen in 30 years.
Completely agree 👍
Got that right… you could really how their demeanour changed from day one to the assault. They were 50% acting and 50% living the part.
I agree on that! Next to The Pacific.
Dye was 100% correct, it ALL came across on film...that's why Band of Brothers is the BEST mini-series in TV history.
I have to agree with you. You could sense they’re shared adversity (if only for a short while) and they were closer for it
The pre-training and bonding of the actors did much to convey that they were behaving as Soldiers on screen and giving so much credibility to the acting.
100 percent! was gonna comment this myself but you nailed it!
definitely amazing also really enjoyed the Pacific
Dreck!
As a combat veteran, I deeply appreciate the hard work and commitment from everyone involved in the making of Band of Brothers to accurately portray this valorous unit. It shows and always will.
Absolutely! I hope Masters of The Air is as good. Produced by the same people
I was shot at once in 21 years but that was enough to impress on my mind what the actual WWII vets endured.. My Lord, what a bunch of true heroes.
the best series I think I've ever watched on the military.
Check out The Pacific. Or, read Helmet For My Pillow and With The Old Breed.
I’ve got to agree. It made me join the Army
Fantastic! I thought the pacific was so dark and gritty- I felt tired and stressed just watching it. Imagine living through that
@@RivetGardener Don't forget about Generation Kill as well. Fits right up there.
I love the battle scenes more in The Pacific but the story is better in Band of Brothers
Dale Dye said, "Make it sing, or make it sink!" 20+ years later, this opera still sounds phenomenal!
The best series in my view
Unbeliveable how much effort has been put into this movie. I watched it like 10 times, and every second of the movie is like how it happened.
The ABSOLUTE BEST war movie/series ever. Bar none!!! This series will be watched by our children. It is truly amazing!
My favourite!
BAND OF BROTHERS, A monumental achievement. The actors put their heart and Soul into bringing the series to life, in a way where the characters portrayed were the bedrock for the success of the series. The dedication of all concerned, to represent Soldiers in combat, the realism, physical and mental, in a way that is free of the usual Hollwood style, focusing more on the believable characters, their weakness and strengths. The quality of the series will forever set the benchmark on any drama series dealing with war.
Absolutely Rusty. I don’t think any military series has come close before or since BoB. Even The Pacific (which is very good!) didn’t really hit in the same way, probably because it followed multiple units/locations
All that work paid off too. I've watched the thing probably 80 times or more. I never met any men of Easy company, but when it was over, I felt like I knew them all, and they were my friends. I'm so glad some of the men got to see this before passing.
I think I’ve watched it that many times too
When i first watched the series all the way through i had laughed, cried and felt every emotion..cannot imagine what the real Band of Brothers went through..they are all dead and gone now..unitedf once again as a Band of Angels..thx for this video..
Great comment. To me it’s like a friend you’re always happy to see after a long absence
They are NOT GONE, just asleep in the arms of the Lord..
The sense of honor, pride, and band of brothers were formed through only couple of days of training. Imagine how much pride and bond those WWII 101 Airborne paratroopers who dedicated themselves to the nation they'd have. The greatest generation ever!
It's amazing watching the actors slowing getting into the skin of their characters during the boot camp.
Brilliant isn’t it
In hundred years people will be still amazed when watching this series...
Ron Livingston played the part of Nixon so well that the bond between Winters and Nix came thru on the screen. I had a very good friend who has passed away but watching Ron who could be a twin of my friend Yanni it was like i was watching my friend on the screen. Thank you for paying great respect to the men who went and gave all.
He was brilliant wasn’t he
I have always been impressed by the quality of the series. My father was a 2nd battalion ranger who assaulted point du hoc. The airborne troops were equally impressive in my opinion . I appreciate how seriously the actors were about their roles.
Wow! Now there’s a story to tell
@thehistoryexplorer Yes, my father's story is a harrowing one. He was severely wounded, captured, and left to die by the Germans near a tunnel. He was used as bait in an attempt to capture any American soldiers who might come to his rescue. He survived his injuries and returned to his unit in time for the Brest campaign. He was quite a man, and I deeply regret that he didn't live long enough for me to know him as an adult.
Just finished "Masters of the Air". It was great, but overall(similar to "The Pacific"), it mainly just reminded me how incredible BoB was/is. I feel bad, especially for everyone involved in "The Pacific", it's probably an amazing series, but it's impossible to live up to the bar that BoB set. The timing was perfect, and it's so clear that Hanks knew, from the beginning, how important what they were doing was, and that really seemed to rub off on everyone else.
They did indeed, do easy company PROUD with their astounding performance. Brilliant boys!
Best WW2 series ever watched.
Absolutely!
The captain was right. The world celebrated Easy company because of thoses nice actors.
Ron, thanks and you did a very good job in the movie. Anybody who would jump out of a perfectly good airplane has a hats off from me. In Vietnam we never jumped. We used choppers. Different war. As we used to say in the 3/506, "Currahee".
Filmmaking is so pampered and over regulated these days that productions like this will never happen anymore. Band Of Brothers can’t be topped ❤
I love Band of Brothers. I watch it every year at the day my hometown got liberated.
Fantastic! Which home town?
@@thehistoryexplorer Eindhoven.
@@ToldYouSo18 How amazing it must have been to be freed from the Nazis!
@@aragornthebrave we could use some of those nazi's in 2024.
I can only imagine how the roles these actors played affected them emotionally, and mentally. What a profound privilege it must have been to portray the soldiers of Easy Company. Bless you guys.
No matter what mission or engagement I saw, or when I saw it, I was always reminded that these actors represented real warriors and the feats of those warriors must never be forgotten because we owe them so much. Those guys were America's treasure.
Well said my friend
Been looking for Livingston vlogs for forEVER. Gladly gonna pay for it man thank you
Hope you enjoy! Thank you so much
As we are on "the other side" as a living history group we salute the actors for their work to portray one of the greatest moments in human history to such a convincing level! The series still stands, and will remain so, as a testament to the cheer willpower of a generation to free the world of pure evil! We salute you!
They were exhausted after 10 days of that boot camp, and rightly so they're just actors. The real Easy Company did it for real for 70 days straight from D-Day without a break! Holy effin shit!!!
Every time I see anything to do with the men of Easy Company I just cannot respect them enough for what they did, it's mind blowing!
I often think about and laugh at the "Everybody grab a partner. We'll be doing open heart surgery" line. Freaking perfect zinger.
😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣 such a great line
These actors developed a bond within themselves and will never forget what it was to be a soldier even if it was fir the big screen, to bind us everything, to never forget who we are as a five finger hand becomes one hard fist … 👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💙💙💙🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you 🙏
Amazing piece of work on so many levels! I was fortunate to meet a lot of the actors and writers at the 20th anniversary at the WW2 museum in New Orleans. All of the people that spoke during the symposium really came across as it being a TEAM effort. All of the parties involved poured their heart out to honor these men. Their efforts really came across on the screen. Thanks for your hard work to make this such a success for the world to see!
Wow I would have loved to see that
A generation like no other...
During MA training, I once saw a fellow trainee hold a knuckle push-up position in plank on a tile floor for at least 20 minutes. “At least” because I didn’t look at the clock when we started. The guy had exceptional mind over matter control.
As a retired Command Sergeant Major I was pleased with Band of Brothers and The Pacific!
They each & everyone have earned the right to be proud of this film accomplishment .
My favorite mini series so far, absolutely love it I already watch it many times.
Corcoran "Cochran" jump boots are the absolute worst for marching, fighting, keeping your feet warm or anything else besides looking good on the parade ground. BUT.....they were the shit back in WW2 for the paratroopers. Thanks goodness boot design inproved so much when I went Airborne. Used Vietnam era jungle boots in the field (super comfy) and the Corcorans were only for parade and dress days.
Great insight! Thanks for the comment.
Awesome! I smiled the whole time watching this! Thank you are sharing!
It’s great isn’t it. Also prior to WTC 2001 when the world changed forever
They made it look flawless, all the way through! So much to learn and remember!
I remember watching band of brothers for the first time in Kirkuk Iraq in 03, we had it on the RTOs computer in Charlie sectors bunker. I remember having to pause it every now and then to see if the explosions were the movie or outside the bunker.
Amazing.
I watched it from the first disk to the last. Non-stop! Simply amazing.
I hadn’t watched it for a few years then when I was in Afghanistan I watched it all in two sittings in one night . Love it!
Thansk for sharing. Brings back alot of memories of watching this for the first time. Seems like a life time ago
It’s my favourite. It was probably BoB that made me want to join the army
I made my kids watch Band of Brothers in grade school so they would have a PROPER history lesson about what happened during WWII. Even if it was an isolated view of one company, it is way better than any book our kids have in school or what any teacher can talk to them about. The teachers don’t even believe what they are teaching. Band of Brothers should be required viewing for history classes. I have 2 favorite all time shows, Band of Brothers and Breaking Bad. While I love Breaking Bad, Band of Brothers is far and away #1.
I read every book I could find about EZ Company, Capt. Dick Winters and the books written by Steven Ambrose, as well as the book written by Dock Winters. The Series brought everything to real life…the comedy as well as the tragedy. Loved the series. I’ve watched it 16 times….so far.
One of the best series made on WW2
Absolutely the best.👍🏼🇺🇸 These actors are incredible….Most realistic depiction of the WW II European theatre from the Normandy jump to the battle of the bulge. They all deserved Emmy’s…..
It was brilliant wasnt it
I trained in that area as a British soldier. It was our FIBUA training area.
Was it Longmoore?
@The History Explorer Yes. We did some NI training there. The cast walked passed the replica NI army base. I think they filmed in Hatfield though
@@modelrailwaynoob the hill they run up which is meant to be Curahee is Caesar’s camp
@@modelrailwaynoob Hatfield airdrome for most of the sets
Oh how I miss singing cadence while running! Hooah!
Brilliant show. Glad they did a real boot camp
Wonderful video. Thank you from the Greatest Generation
This was cool. I was an extra on the TV show “Army Wives”. Our paratrooper ‘boot camp’ was only 2 or 3 hours of marching drill.
Great series!!!! It will take the re-intact of WW2 with original cast to beat this!!!!
God bless the cast and director, producers, and all who helped.
Dick Dale, what a leader ! Listen to leadership shine through in his closing speech. He has acted but you see him here doing what he does best building up confidence and support for each other. Wow he can’t make a movie but he lead these men to their performance. Inspirational man
My favorite movies of all..
This-is-so-badass!!!
Great insight isn’t it
@@thehistoryexplorer it absolutely is. This is my favorite show of all time and this just put the cherry on top.
BoB made me join the army, as strange as that justification may be!
@@thehistoryexplorer I joined the Army exactly two years after first episode release. I’m on the tail end of retirement. I watch the entire thing in Germany and I got a thrill knowing exactly where they were through.
Only show I can binge and always be stuck to the end
Band of Brothers is the best Miniseries that HBO ever did. The Pacific didn't even come close to it...
Can’t disagree with you there chum although I do think The Pacific is hugely underrated
I Totally Agree With You.
Fingers Crossed For Masters Of The Air
@@jamesbarker2567 I think it will be great but nothing has really come close to BoB
I Reckon Your Right. Im Trying To Find The Band Of Brothers Extended Uncut Version
Wow Dale Dye is a real veteran playing colonel Sink!
Cook isn’t it!
Their buy in as both individuals and a unit was so deeply palpable on screen in every s7ngle episode, it brings me to tears. This is the very best of acting.
Just incredible
Lest we forget ..🫡🫡
dude, ron super good job on this doc. Idk if its the editing or you but its super engaging.
Makes me think of my friend…. Brad Freeman….. miss you!
Mad as hell this ain’t a joke am I loved the serious
This is a great little documentary, but considering this was a $120M production, I would have thought they could have filmed a proper behind the scenes showing the big set pieces from the show... different time I guess! Still remember tuning in every week for the episodes.... remains my all time favourite show!
My favourite too. I watch it most years and never tire of it. I’m not sure they thought there would be much interest in a behind the scenes documentary or perhaps that was about as good as handheld cameras got back then! Ha!
It's what photographers call "candids." Basically, stick a camera in someone's hands, tell them to shoot whatever, and turn them loose.
@The History Explorer I once spent an entire month sleeping in a hole in the ground, in the dead of winter, just because I wanted some inkling of what these guys went through.
It sucked. It sucked more than anything that has ever sucked before. And I didn't even have people shooting at me.
@@jackstecker5796 wow that is extreme! Good for you buddy
@The History Explorer It was the first time I got trench foot. You *REALLY* don't want to get trench foot. It's something similar to frostbite, as I understand. Even though the egg heads figure out why. After over 119 years.
Anyway, your foot turns white, gets hard as a rock, and incredibly painful.
I think I remember reading somewhere that wet feet at 60°, you can develop trench foot in about 12 hours.
Can't be too hard on the actors, after all the BoB series and performances were outstanding. Training is a shock especially for airborne and marines. Frontline infantry/commandos are kept at very high readiness, primed to respond to emerging crises worldwide. Their arduous physical and mental training is intense and includes battle inoculation designed to be as realistic as possible.
“Constantly something to do “ Yep, that’s about how it was. God bless all the surviving WWII veterans and their families. Useless you’ve served, you have no idea what these men endured.
Stroke of genius to make them all refer to each other by their character's names all day long
Great Series ! What TV Should be !
If only a few more shows like this came out
Excellent video!
It’s so good. Pure nostalgia
So many flashbacks
Brilliant isn’t it
So true about the boots! I jump in my pool, walk around in and out of the pool, then let em dry in the shade. You'll have slippers in a few days. Secret is the lacing at the ankle and socks.
Anyone who tells their recruits to piss in their boots is just trying to make people miserable! Ha!
It's my favorite war TR drama, I give it a 10 out of 10.
Every time!
Very good program, now for the real movie!
I will be in Normandy on the 6th for the 80th anniversary of D Day
After seeing this, I watched the entire series again, perhaps the fourth or fifth time. It had changed, I saw much more.
Amazing!
Thanks
Thank you so much. Really appreciate it
Ahhh.....actors.
When will the. Live be on u-tube?😊
"My grandchild asked me, Grandpa, did you act on Band of Brothers"?
Love it
“Grandpa said no….but I acted in a company on Band of Brothers”
Absolutely brilliant!! Band of Brothers was absolutely superb my favourite watch of all time these actors nailed it I wish this was 5 hours long 😂so engrossed!! God bless the allied armies alive or dead we owe them so much 🙏🙏🙏🙏
How many people farted in another's face while in caterpillar push up formation 😂
5:29 Oh my....Matthew Settle is H-O-T
We need a proper behind the scenes
Yes I’d love that
Its okay Nix,I suck at LANDNAV too:P
soooo.... this is kind of a vlog before time of gopros and action cams...
Can't find lost without LT!
😂
He is the weird neighbor who only visits on Fridays , and he sings the theme song for some reason.
As an actor did you keep your wings?😊
I've a question, the oriental lady in the film is not the one who divorce the Lewis Nixon ???
May have been there best performance yet may we all be so lucky to represent these men in our day to day... may we all be so lucky to not need to defend as the men they represented did.......may we always remember.
I was with the 82nd Airborne, 1964 to 1967. I'm laughing at your training. real Training 8 Weeks basic Training, 8 Weeks AIT, Advanced Infantry Training 4 weeks Jump School
Someone yelling at you, 20 weeks of Push Ups, Sit Ups, Dying Bug Possession, No walking, Run where ever you Went, 50 Push ups and 100 sit ups was a warm up,
PT tests, Crawling thru Mud and sand with live rounds being fired over you. Night maneuvers Winter, 10 mile runs with full gear. simulated combat Live Rounds
No sleep, K rations, C rations, just like Mom's home cooking, 1 Year before I got my First leave. Italian Family. Started at 165lbs Went back to base 182lbs. PT I wanted to die.
Have the full set of Band Of Brothers, You guys did a great job, PUSSIES, lol
Hello my friend. Hope you are keeping well? Thanks for the comment and great to see you have such fond memories of your service.
Like saving private ryan ❤
Manuevers?
Looks like Matt Walsh without the beard
in the real army if you really and truely want to be so lost they cant find you give a compass and a map to a LT and just follow him
I can confirm 😆
Please, Polish subtitles
This looks so fun but at the same time so scary
wyho else just dont see the actors as actors in this video.
every actor in this mini series was eeriely ? close to looking like the real people they were playing. Same for The Pacific.
They did a great job with the casting imo
These days, American soldiers seem to be increasingly forgetting their memories of World War II. How can I be ignored at the library in London?
What happened?
After seeing Ron in Office Space, I couldn’t take his role as Nixon seriously. It was still ok though.
Welcome to the military
