      ​​@@georgemartin1436 never confuse, the disdain for war. And critique of a war for failing to respect the sacrifice of veterans. One can hate a war or disagree with a war, and still respect the men and women who fought in it. The overwhelming majority of young people respect and support vets (as long as they didn't commit atrocities). They just don't support the wars they fought in.

Bencheley's book, 'Jaws', was later turned into a movie directed by Steven Spielberg - the creator of 'Band of Brothers.'

    About Nixon’s last wife Grace. You would probably be interested to know that she was a Japanese-American who spent the war in an internment camp. Also, she was still alive when BoB was filmed and became close with the actor who played her husband (who btw resembles Nixon almost as much as Guarnere’s actor.) If you watch the documentary, you will see a picture of the real life Nixon just after waking up hung over (familiar no?) and you will swear it is Ron Livingston.

    As a war veteran (1967) , I appreciate your reaction to this series.
    Over the past 20 years, I have gathered as much info on contributions of my father, uncles, and brothers who are war veterans.
    My uncle Joe was with 117th Infantry which was first to enter Belgium. One document I am most proud of is a letter from citizens of Maastricht to NY editors:
    the Editors of THE NEW YORK TIMES:
    We, the inhabitants of Maastricht, citizens of the first liberated town of the Netherlands, want an opportunity to thank you for the arrival of your boys who have brought us the liberty for which we have longed so fervently.
    We need not describe to you our suffering and our want. The tyrant robbed us of everything that has been dear to us. He tried to destroy our culture; our unions were dissolved, our religion was hindered, our men and boys were carried off, our food was stolen, our horses and our cattle were stolen, our bicycles were transported to Germany and even our hens had to lay their eggs for Huns. Only German music was heard, and with great danger we had to listen secretly to our friends who brought us news.
    Our children became underfed, badly clothed and had to wear worn out shoes; old Dutch wooden shoes became by force the fashion again.
    Each new day brought new pain and new care. Our young people have no youth. They were chased and hidden in cellars and woods.
    Such was our situation - and then your boys came. Can you, readers, conceive and realize with what joy we welcomed them.
    Can you imagine how we wept when we could shake hands with the first American boys.
    Thanks, many thanks for the arrival of your dear boys. And they were beyond all expectation; what a wrong idea we had about America and its people.
    The pleasant smile of your boys has stolen our hearts. Their laughing faces, their vigorous and brave appearance, their kindheartedness and especially their simplicity have told us that these sons of the great American Republic bear true democracy in their hearts and that the world may be glad the United States has interested itself in behalf of our country and of Europe.
    How we shouted for joy and feasted with them and how we shared with the greatest pleasure the little we could still give. How wise of your commanders to forbid the boys to buy here. Our enemies robbed and plundered and you soldiers have been instructed not to take the little that can be bought for money.
    Thank you for all this; thank you for the arrival of your boys - God bless America and its soldiers in their battle. May He carry your boys safely back to their country. God bless many American mothers who have given the dearest they possess for the liberation of our country and of Europe.
    We Dutch people shall never forget the sacrifices that America has made and we shall pray that your battle and victory may be the beginning of a new time, a time of understanding and goodwill.
    God bless the United States and its citizens, God save the dear boys who have brought us freedom and who have captured our hearts by their strength, their kindness and their good nature.
    Thank you - once again thank you.

    In the scene you discuss from Episode 7, Winters actually took off on his own to relieve Dyke, but then he decided against it on his own accord, since he was now battalion commander. In his book, "Beyond Band of Brothers," he writes that he turned around and the first person he saw was Spiers, and so he yelled at him to "relieve Dyke and take that attack on in." In the series, it was easier to have Sink yelling at him instead of trying to see the internal battle he was fighting on whether to go or not, but Winters did actually take a few steps toward the battle before he realized it would be better to have another (Spiers) relieve Dyke.

Vans of Kuwait's who left the hell there and the kids that ran to hug us and thank us for coming. They didn't need to speak English for us to understand, they're eyes said enough. The things they must have seen sickens me when I think about it. It gave us perspective and understanding of why we were there, it wasn't oil, it was people. Personally, it helped me see why it was worth leaving my wife and daughter behind for so long, yet so much shorter than these true heroes did. The Greatest Generation is almost an understatement when describing them.

    A few thoughts from a Boomer whose father went into Normandy around D+10 to provide anti-aircraft support to preserve the city of Antwerp, Belgium throughout the Bulge. He could talk openly about both humorous and tragic aspects of what he saw from his relative safety some miles behind the front. But he knew men who would never speak about their ordeals, such as one who spent several weeks alone behind J lines, hiding in dense treetops during daylight until he could move and scavenge at great risk during the night. I have a copy of a letter in Dad's loopy old script which he wrote to his older brother then in N Africa, describing the reception they received just weeks earlier in a newly-freed French town in the summer of '44: "The Free French were still combing the town for Jerries and we were the first convoy to go through after the tanks and infantry. The people crowded the streets on both sides, shouting, waving flags, and throwing flowers in the air. The wine and cognac flowed pretty freely too. It is something I will never forget, but we were really taking the bows that belonged to the boys up ahead." Thank you for your part in preserving these crucial memories for generations which forget at great risk.

    Every adult I grew up knowing, all my family and adult neighbors all did something during WW2. Some were veterans, like my dad and uncles, others like my aunt who was a physician with a lucrative practice who nevertheless worked at Veteran Admin. Hospitals for all her professional career, and my grandfather sold War Bonds to every Italian American in the East Bronx. I'd say "Greatest Generation" and that's a fair description, but I think we also need to remember that ordinary people who had very different lives at home became the soldiers and others who fought for victory. It was a great group effort. They all just always wanted to go back home and get on with their lives. So, I think, don't count yourself or your family, friends or neighbors out: if we were tested in the face of a total war, we might actually rise to the occasion too. I hope we'll never know.

    There's an interview online with Dick Winters... When Stephen Ambrose's book was being put together (Band of Brothers, that the show was written from), the publisher was concerned that they'd get sued over the accusations that Ronald Spears had shot prisoners. Winters told Ambrose, "Don't worry about it, I'll give him a call." So Winters called Spears, explained the situation, and asked him, "You know, I never asked before... but those stories about you... are they true?". Spears replied, "Oh yeah, absolutely they're true. I don't care if they publish them... you want me to write you a letter?" Which he did.

Grandpa says no, but I served in a company of heroes" Near tears every time. Thank you for taking this journey. Currahee! ♠

      I'd suggest checking out "We Stand Alone Together", a bonus episode consisting of interviews with the real men. It's like the intros and epilogue of episode 10, where they talk about their experiences and even mention specific events depicted in the series.

    So sad to have to say that because this was made more than 20 years ago, there are no more living Easy company veterans. In their youth, these men, along side their allied brothers, saved the world. It's that simple.

    You made me cry a bunch girl. Seeing a younger generation be moved, as I was, to learn about all this, and to not have this history forgotten, is priceless. We ARE the frog in the pot. It's so important that we wake up and defend our liberty, here, before it's taken from us. Now, you gotta watch the documentary. I'll be looking for it.

Everyone who’s taken the offer has thanked me, that it was worth much more than the extra credit points.

    I failed to mention that moment with Speirs and Winters in your Episode 7 reaction somehow but yes, absolutely agree, one of my favorite moments of the series...When Winters tries to go in against orders is absolutely epic. "And then he came back." I also encourage you to see "The Fallen of World War 2." It's not brilliantly written or acted or directed but it shows the scope and scale of this tragedy in a very direct, simple way.

    The German general's speech to his men and how it was applicable to the men of Easy Company as well makes me think of something. First of all, the war in the Pacific was much more vicious and dehumanizing than the war in Europe, but even with such a huge divide between opposing combatants, I remember a story from veteran Marine who served in the Pacific. An actor who had never served (and, to be fair, was discouraged from serving because he was deemed important for morale on the homefront) made a surprise personal appearance to cheer up the troops, but because he had made films that glamorized and glorified going to war, these men who had experienced how horrific war actually is booed him off stage. The veteran said "At that moment, we had more respect for the Japanese we were fighting than we did for that actor."

    Unfortunately, to become complacent is just part of human nature... we can never truly believe something at a deep level unless we see it ourselves. And yet, I am encouraged by the fact that we have a very resilient culture. The US was in pretty rough shape before WWII, and yet they rose to the challenge. I believe that we can too.

    I bet that your crushes are included in these four - Winters, Nixon, Doc Roe and Speirs. 😉. I wrote this at the start of this reaction and forgot to mention your main man Luz, who is my favourite character. Rick Gomez always comes across well in interviews, as do all the actors. There is also a great new interview with Michael "Bull" Cudlitz on CZcams which came out around a week ago on the American Veterans (?) channel.

    Actually The Eagles Nest is still there, It has been restored and now operates as a museum documenting the varying levels of the horrors of the Nazi regime, I have never been there in all of my world travels, but My sister has, and she told me that she learned more about the Nazi's and all of the horrofic things that occured during their reign of terror than she did during her history classes, She said is is a sad and somber place, and you can not avoid the feeling that you are standing in the very place where Hitler, Himmler, Goebels and Goering made decisions and plans for some of the most disgusting attrocities that man has ever witnessed.

    That scene from 7 was close. In reality, Winters stopped himself, didn’t need Sink to do it. Spiers was at his side, so Winters sent him because he was there. Spiers said later that he knew what would happen and that Winters would need him, so that’s why he was there.

    The Eagle's Nest was very real! I believe it's a restaurant and beer garden now! And the reason that guy had the name Hitler on his cuff was he was in the Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler, which was an SS Unit named after him. If he was a real person or just meant for some drama, I don't know though!
