I tear up every time I hear Winters tell that “company of hero’s” story. Every single time.
Right there with ya ;-)
Me too
No matter how many times I watch it, and I've watched it a LOT.
Seen it several times and as soon as she started talking I knew what he was about to say I started crying, and I always say to myself that yes sir, you and all the men who served in that war were heroes.
I'm just a civilian, but my gosh, the closing sequence on the ball field and the comments at the end get me every time, even 20+ years later.
"We Stand Alone Together" should be viewed in all High Schools in History classes.
Sadly it will never happen because they were white males.
The whole series including the pacific and the new one coming out should be made available for public viewing
@@michaelszczekot8920 what's the new one?
@@caw216 masters of the air. It hasn’t been released yet
@@michaelszczekot8920 thanks! Sounds like it will be amazing!
Malarkey became friends with a german officer later in life and even invited him and his family to an annual reunion of the men. The descendants of both seem to have kept the friendship.
Wars are the domain of powerful and greedy people and the soldiers of both sides are their victims. Germany had some good people that were disgusted by all of this just as we are.
that's amazing
July 3rd 2022 marks the passing of the last of Easy Company. Rest In Peace, you Band of Brothers.
Talking about reunions, most of the surviving members of 506th were sitting at nearby hotel when Major Richard "Dick" Winters accepted an Emmy Award when Band of Brothers won Best Mini Series at that year's Emmy Awards (2002). He spoken briefly to audience there and his men. Everyone Celebs there gave standing ovation to Winters and his men.
I remember that.
By the way, I know it has been 2 years since I reacted to your reaction. That young woman, Kerry Tipper talking about her father, Ed Tipper. She is recently appointed by mayor for the city of Denver, Colorado as Deputy City Attorney.
Growing up, I knew of course that my father had served in WWII. But as he never spoke of his experiences, I never heard much about them. My dad died in 1999, and Band of Brothers came out in 2001. I started to try to learn as much as I could about him and discovered he was also Airborne...Glider Trooper 194th Glider Infantry Regiment, 17th Airborne (my avatar here on You Tube is their shoulder patch)...and his first combat experience was about 10 miles further west of Foy in a little town called Flamierge at the same time Easy Company was fighting in Foy. This series made it possible for me to understand maybe just a little of what my dad experienced as an 18/19 year old man in 1945 and I will be grateful for it till the day I die. I only wish I knew more about his experiences. Maybe it's better I don't. I don't know. Cheers for the fine reaction. :)
If you ever get the chance, go to the Silent Wings museum in Lubbock, Texas which is dedicated to the WWII glider program. When you see firsthand the gliders that men like your father flew in, your jaw will drop. Those planes were basically flying bricks. Once they were released from the towing plane, there was no going back. You hoped to land in one piece and then it was straight into action. True heroism.
My grandfather was also in WWII. I never had the pleasure of meeting him as he died before I was born, and he only shared one story from his time in the war. He was driving a flail tank up one of the beaches on D-Day when his buddy in the tank to him was hit with a mortar shell.
To this day I’m still trying to find information about him so my Mum can learn more about the bravery and actions of her Dad. 22nd Dragoons is all I had to go on. It’s not easy finding information.
There is an archives for the Dragoons in London somewhere so hopefully when it’s safer to travel for me again I can head over and find out more.
Your Dad sounds like an amazing man. It’s good to hear you’ve found information about him after all these years.
The paras had the best troops but the glider troops had the biggest balls.
mine drove jeeps in Africa for the Allies, and he NEVER spoke about it - i only know because my Dad told me
Kerry Tipper is now a member of the Colorado State Legislature.
Band of Brothers only gets better the more you watch it.😊 This series holds up well to multiple viewings.
The Pacific will be much more devestating psychologically ... Thank you both for your reaction to Band of Brothers. Watching your channel for years now. Greetings from Germany.
Decades later the Screaming Eagle patch means just as it much back then, and mainly because of men like these. In early 2002 when I was leaving basic training and going into AIT I found out I was going to Campbell, to the 101. I had never been so proud in my life, loved every day of the 9 years I was there and I’ve missed it every days since then. 19.5 years in the Army and I yearn to be back in those first 9 years every day. Also, my company from OIF I in 2003 to through our trip to Afghanistan in 2011, we still have reunions. No matter the politics, the reasons, the crap back home… it’s always about us and our love for each other. ⛩
Was in AIT 1998... was told that I was going to Fort Campbell.. Screaming Eagles. But about 2 hours later, they changed my orders for some strange reason. Got sent to Fort Carson.. spent 3 years there. Got Cav and 4th ID patch
"I served in a company of heroes" and I'm fucking crying again
The greatest documentary ... I get emotional every time. These men didn't fight to see the shit times we live in, we must become better human beings.
Truth.
Amen
Reminds me of a story about an old US WW2 veteran visiting France.
At customs he makes a comment when asked for his passport: "Last time I came to France, no one asked me to show my passport."
Lady at the desk looks at him shocked and says: "Impossible, sir! We always ask everyone to show us their passport!"
To which the veteran replies: "Last time I came here there were no god damn frenchmen to ask me."
OMG his name was Bernie. He spoke at my collage. I have his book! What a small world. He was a medic at Normandy.
college, not collage, hahaha!
My grandfather was a paratrooper during WWII and Korea. He was a Captain and he would tell us amazing/sad stories of his time in the military. Everyone in the family was proud of his service and he always talked fondly of the men that served with him. I watched this series with him and he said "It was just like that, but much worse". He was a great man.
Awwww...thanks for posting this. When Ed Tipper's daughter says "my dad.....daddy" and she hugs him that always brings a tear to my eye.
FYI ~ Kerry Tipper today is congressperson in the Colorado State House of Representatives.
@@natskivna yes she is.😊
Will y'all be watching The Pacific next? Also a great true story told by Spielberg and Hanks like Band of Brothers.
I think try sane time next year. but not fully said yet.
That's why they are the Greatest Generation. I've seen Band of Brothers at least 12 times. Never ever forget what those brave men did and the ones that never came home. Much respect and admiration for 101st airborne division Easy Co.
Thank you for doing this. For watching this. For helping us honouring these men, and sharing their stories.
Im so happy to see this. I have become a huge fan of Easy Co. Ive read 3 books on it already, including Beyond band of Brothers. That Dick winters memoirs
The thing that amazes me about Winters... I used to command one side in a re-enactment society - yes, we were only "playing soldiers" but, all the same, I was very successful (only lost one battle) - thing is, I would think out my battle plan for at least an hour or more - Winters just glances at a situation and *boom* "this is what we do". I'm just so impressed.
As a prior soldier who went to Afghanistan I was made to watch Band of brothers while in basic training and it hit me so so hard! Never knew about this documentary and I'm glad I went through your watch through to be able to see this ❤
Thank you for including this epilogue to the series. So important.
I met a guy who was in the 101st in 'Nam through my grandfather-in-law. The guy still jumps today. Absolute bosses these guys are!
I'm SO glad you watched this documentary and reacted to it! That really shows respect and honor for these men and their experiences and sacrifices.
Fantastic that you went ahead and did this, the icing on the cake to Band of Brothers series!!!! Thank you!!!!! Almost no other reactors bother even though it is one of the best parts of the entire series.
It was about a year of watching BoB when I was sitting in my mechanics office waiting for my car to be fixed. On his wall was a clipping regarding ****** ******** coming home as an Army member of E. Company. Asked why is this up here... mechanic said thats about his dad and dont make a big deal of it. Said his dad used to be strict SOB... and after the war, he just kept to himself, always quiet, and forgave a lot of things after coming back. I was stunned, honored and about to cry.
There's also a documentary about the actors training for this show. It's more fun. The actors also had reunions for several years after the show was over. I think the last one was in 2019.
whats it called
One trivia about the patch. The Airborne Patch is worn on the left shoulder; however, a soldier who served in combat with the Airborne wears the patch on the right shoulder to indicate combat service.
Wow. I did not know that. Thank you
My paternal great uncle was a German POW in WW II, and my paternal grandfather served in the U.S. Navy stateside during the war. He was an aviation engine instructor.
My maternal grandfather joined the U.S. Army and fought in the Korean War. He earned two Purple Hearts.
You guys need to watch The Pacific now. It’s like an even grittier version of Band Of Brothers
Carwood Lipton passed away just before Band of Brothers was released. Though he never saw the final cut of the series we do have his interviews and, yes, he was one handsome dude.
Thats why these men were part of the greatest generation. This show came out in 2001, most if not all have now passed into the pages of history. Great reaction!
When Winters says (and I know he's quoting Mike Ranney, but the words could come from any member of the company) "I served in a company of heroes," at first you want to say "no, Major, you were absolutely a hero." And then it hits you-- to these men, they aren't the heroes. The heroes in their eyes, as Babe said, never came back. So when they say they served in a company of heroes, they're not thinking about the amazing things they did during the war. They're thinking of the guy who got hit right next to them, or the man who went into a building before it blew up. The guys who did their job and never got to come home. That look in Winters' eye at the end-- he still sees his fellow soldiers who didn't make it. Those are his heroes.
When I was stationed in Germany I had the privilege of going to the Eagles nest , getting to the top was a really steep winding scary road , then getting in the golden elevator to the Eagles nest and what a view from up there ( incredible ) it was an experience I've never forgotten.
Even though the Easy Company guys are no longer with us, it is amazing that even 20 years later, the actors who portrayed them still get together and attend conventions, etc.
"A company of heroes" quote was from a letter one of Winters former soldiers sent to him - Ranney. So it was not Winters' grandson that asked the question but Ranney's (to Ranney)....however I am sure Winters felt the same ways.
By the way, about half (or a third) of the Easy Company actors are/were from Britain!!! Winters, Liebgott, Christianson, Doc Roe and several others - just nailed their American accents!!!!
I don’t know if anyone’s mentioned it. But I remember a story about when Winters visited the actors on set. The actors were in the back of a covered truck ready and in gear. Winters walked up and opened the back of the truck to say hello and his face went pale. He didn’t say anything and left. Later said it was like looking in a truck full of ghosts
The guy who talks about throwing the grenade during the Battle of Brecourt Manor was Lt Buck Compton
And he helped convict the guy who murdered RFK.
Amazing to think that, at the time this was filmed, nearly 55 years separated those men from the war, yet, they still are haunted by the memories of what they went through. Sadly nearly all have passed on. Hopefully their souls are finally at peace.
Just wanted to point out that the guy that made you go “aah Buck” isnt the Buck youre thinking of. The man portrayed in the show is Lynn “Buck” Compton. The other man, who you reacted to, was Paul “Buck” Rogers
Gee, I wonder why they called him Buck. lol
@@carlwilliams9642 Buck Compton made up his nickname because he was teased for having the name “Lynn”.
@@catherinelw9365 I was referring to "Buck" Rodgers.
the last member of easy edward shames passed this dec 5th at 99 so all that is left is the families and the show to show later generations that they truly were the greatest generation. imagine the reunion that was had in the hear after.
Never seen a reaction yet where it's included that Winters is talking about Mike Ranney; one of the sergeants who 'mutinied' over Winters' potential court-martial. He was awarded a medal for his part in destroying the guns on D-Day and I think he ended the war as a Sergeant again, after being demoted for the mutiny. I watched the entire series again only a couple of weeks ago, and it still affects me deeply when Winters talks about what Ranney put in the letter to him. Fortunately the documentary finishes with Babe singing that song :-) kerk
Myron “Mike” Ranney is buried at the Golden Gate National Cemetary, just south of San Francisco, close to where 380 and 280 come together. His grave is on the north side of the mound with the flag pole. He was a -art of the sergeant’s mutiny, awarded a Bronze Star for what he did on D-Day, jumped in Market Garden, wounded there and sent to hospital. If you are close drop by, pay your respects.
He isn’t located from from Admiral Chester Nimitz and other heroes. I was sobered to be there.
You're right. Many viewers think Winters was talking about his own grandson when it was really Ranney's grandson that Winters was talking about.
I still find it hard to believe that I actually got to meet the real Dick Winters before he passed away! To this day it seems like such a surreal experience!
You're lucky. Please tell us about it!
My Dad served in the Korean War... he continued seeing and talking to his Navy Buddies every week until he died at 87. Over 60 years of friendship. He said they were the only people who knew and understood the hardest days of his life. They had reunions every year too!
Thank you both so much for sharing this journey with us. I have watched that series 3 times now and Still I love it. If you ever watch We where Solders, My Father was a door gunner in the 1st Air Cav just after that battle took place. Me, my Daughter and her Mom all are USMC RET. My Grand fathers both served, One flying B-17s out of England from 43 to 45-6 Not shipping home till the Berlin air lift ended. My other Grandfather was an Engineering Officer on the KM Bismarck. He was with him from construction in 39 till he was sunk in May of 41. Every year those two went to the Memorial ceremonies together. They always said you my disagree with the politics, but after all is said and dun those who serve no matter what uniform they wore and served with honor where brothers, only those who did not get home where heroes.
Another amazing documentary to watch is "He Has Seen War." A lot of the guys from Easy are in it, but it also includes some guys who were in the USMC that served in the Pacific.
After they have seen The Pacific
Thank you for reacting to this. Not many others do.
It’s just so sad to watch this and realize that they’re all gone now.
They’re all gone...
Congratulations on one of the best reaction videos i've ever seen for this whole series. Empathy, understanding, dignity. I mean it, well done.
I have seen so many Band of Brothers reactions and I have finally got around to seeing yours (7 months late, sorry), and I have got to say, that I think that your reactions, along with one other couple, was the best (you may have even just shaded first place),. I love the way you both (especially Nikki) got so emotionally involved and you both brought across to your viewers how much this series and the men of Easy Co. mean to you. I have so many books and biographies from these guys and I can't get enough of them. They mean so much to me as well, and I am English. There are also lots of clips on CZcams of the real men and the actors, both separately and together. There were also interviews on Black Sky Radio with the actors. There is so much stuff out there on Band of brothers, that it seems never ending. Thank you very much for reactions, I enjoyed it immensely. Ps, you come across as such nice people. Enjoy the rest of your lives.
Took my future wife to a Lancaster Barnstormers game in 2011. The special guest at that game was no other than Dick Winters.
The actor who played Shifty is also, *chef's kiss*.
It speaks to the generation of these Heroes, how they want to be remembered. Hollywood tough guy star of many WWII movies Lee Marvin. His gravestone reads Lee Marvin, PFC USMC, WWII. (Marvin earned the Purple Heart in the Pacific) not surprised at all how they wished to be remembered. They earned that right.
Nikki's comment about them remembering every single detail like it's burned into their memory is so true. I have a great grandfather who landed on Juno Beach in the first assault wave as a combat medic, fought through Normandy, Holland (Nijmegen), Belgium, the Battle of the Sheldt, and into Germany. Before he passed, if you talked to him, he would often drift into talking about his memories of the war even if you were talking about something completely unrelated. The events were so incredible and intense that they absolutely were in ingrained into these heroes and the events were impossible to forget, even with advanced age.
This documentary truly makes the whole BoB serie even better. I would recommend the mini-serie 'Unsere mütter unsere väter' for another take on WW2 but from the German side this time!
I'm so happy that you did this. I watched it when it first came out. It still remains the best television show I've ever seen .The reality of it all. It's historical significance. The acting, direction and production value are all timeless. Once again. Thank you.💪🏾👍🏾🤎
JB Stokes was from Leanard Texas. Where my grandparents live... where my dad grew up, it was a very small town and still is
Just commenting to say I love this couple and the way they look at each other and talk to each other is goals
I was fortunate enough to have read the book many times before the T.V show was made, & it just enhanced the experience even more. It impacted on me so much that since it was first aired I've kept up with the lives of those from Easy Company who lived through the war. I was so impressed with the actors, and the respect they took with them into that show, that I've kept up with their lives too. You guys should do a little browsing on CZcams because a lot of the reunions (those of the real men AND those of the actors) are on here as are monument dedications, funerals etc. Thank you for showcasing this amazing series guys.
So glad you enjoyed the documentary .. I found it almost essential viewing. Great reactions as always. P.s. I'm not American, I'm British .. Easy Company helped, alongside our troops and other country's brave men, to put an end to a way of life every logical person rightly rejects these days. I'm as proud of Easy as I am my own grandfather's experience during the war. A brave, brave , brave generation.
Love that you guys watched the documentary! More people should check out that piece of the show.
Major Dick Winters wrote a book years after the Band Of Brothers series came out named “Beyond Band of Brothers”. It is an amazing read. I would describe it like sitting down with your grandfather discussing his time in the 2nd World War. He wrote it to attempt to answer some of the many questions he received after the series came out.
If you haven't seen it yet, I would strongly recommend "They shall not grow old". It's a ww1 documentary that uses actual film footage and interviews with men who were there.
It also has a "making of" which is great as well.
If you like that you might like Our World War (2014) It's a mini-series in the style of Band of Brothers but follows Brits during WW1.
Awesome review over the entire series! One of those shows that should be put in a vault and never lost.
There is one final thing i want to share. As i was going through high school, and into university, it was the 50 year anniversary of various events. And i didn't at the time really appreciate what these events *meant*. It was all just history; things to learn.
- 10th Grade: Germany invades Poland.
- 12th Grade: Attack on Pearl Harbor
- 2nd year university: D-Day
- 3rd year university: VE and VJ
It wasn't until i was university that i realized, "Oh my god, it's still going on?"
I realized that it was an actual prolonged thing; as i almost relived it in real-time.
Thanks to you both for the epic way you showed this to people who might not have known about it. I had watched the 10 episodes many, many, in fact countless times before I saw you react to it, and I have to say your views of it were absolutely on point. Well today I learned of this (eleventh?) part. After watching maybe 2-3 minutes I knew I had to go in search of it, luckily I found it and watched it right through before I continued with your reaction.
I am so glad I went there and in that order. Thank you both so much. I tend to watch the series most years now and time it so I see the drop on the 5th or 6th of June each time, and this is to get some small sense of what it feels like in terms of just the average weather for that time of year. I found it adds some small extra perspective. Maybe that's because of living in England where they left from to go on their epic journey.
Thank you once more it's been quite the experience. I'll just add, that you probably should watch "A Bridge Too Far" you can see operation market garden which they were part of in Holland. It's not the nicest story in the world, much thoughtlessness by those in command, and much heroism by those who were sent to do the job. It is good to know about how that went and the film depicts some epic situations, and the epic reactions to the situation by the troops to the situations they were thrown into. Knowing a little more about it definitely adds to this series and their telling of it. I think you will find it a good experience given what you know now and what you would learn from it. Anyway, just saying! ;)
theres a damn good reason this is the greatest generation. unbelievable bravery
I agree with you for the guy they got to play Wild Bill, he nailed the portrayal of him in the show.
Actor named Frank Hughes.
I've been to the exact place where those guys where in the woods around Foy near Bastone and you can still see all the fox holes and shell crators and everything. Its cray. The buildings still have bullet holes in and everything
I've met many WWII veterans that lived history. To a man they are humble. And again, TO A MAN, they tell me, they'd "do it all over again"!
Thank you for checking this out. Many reaction channels skip it. Thank you also for showing some great maturity and respect while watching this and the series. It's not like the vets are saints, but they accomplished some heroic feats and stories that are hard to imagine outside of Hollywood. Like you said while watching, it kind of goes over peoples heads when they are learning in HS, it's hard to appreciate something like that at that age.
The fact that i've seen Steven crying, it means a lot... I love you guys!
You guys should do “The Pacific” the Marine side of the war. Both are very well done series!
Nah the pacific isn't fun to watch. Plus the US dropped bombs on a civilian population killing thousands of innocent Japanese people. Don't make the US out to be heroes on that front.
Did you not watch the video to the end? They said they’ll be watching the Pacific soon.
@@JaneNayes fun to watch? Neither was this show. It’s informative and shouldn’t be about printing the US as heroes just to get you to watch!
@@MothproofKT I agree. The US is never the good guys in any war
@@JaneNayes and how many people would have died if allied tried to land the mainland japan instead of dropping the a bombs . Japanies would have fight to every last men and woman to defend their homaland!!!
The last Easy Co member is Brad Freeman, who is an amazing man. I have had the privilege of speaking with him on multiple occasions
16:57 kid: "Were you a hero in the war?" Grandpa said, "No... But i served in a company of heroes."
So happy you guys will do the pacific. I personally like band of brothers more because I got it first. BUT the pacific is a whole different theater of war. Totally different enemy. The actors did a great job
My great Uncle served in the Newfoundland Field artillery during ww2 all through Italy. He lost many friends, never talked about the war until the early 1980s. These men and women dont forget them served as nurses, etc went through hell. They were heroes
Generation Kill would be another good HBO miniseries to watch.
2nd this. I consider BoB, Pacific and GK to be the HBO war trifecta. All true stories, but very different perspectives and takeaways.
Especially GK, which is a stark contrast to the former two, yet very important in order to understand what the current generation of war is like.
@@SSgtJ0hns0n 3rd.
Nah. I don't want to watch a reaction to a war where the US bombs innocent civilians and still loses the war.
@@JaneNayes Your young.. You can tell! Spoken like a true uninformed leftist! Maybe research more and then speak about it! Is it the losing or bombing of innocents that bothers you cause every recent president has done that 10 fold, especially Obama and Biden! If its the bombing of innocents then you couldn't watch anything about any war! It's happened in every war ! Worse if its because, as you say, we lost! Hmm? There are alot of factors to why we pulled out that war! And perhaps we never did? Maybe it was expanded? And lost? I don't think we lost the Iraq war! How did we lose? I'd love to hear your explanation!! Too many people speak about things they truly don't know about today! I'm not saying its you but too many Americans really
Take advantage of their freedom and the wonderful country America is! Too many have weak minds and couldn't see the indoctrination being done to them over the years telling you America is horrible and racist and capitalism is horrible all being done in our schools! Meanwhile, the people saying and teaching this don't believe it and drive home in one of their luxury cars to one of their homes, in nice expensive (each Home worth over 1 million), and if it's an African American its all the same except they always seem to buy and live in million dollar homes surrounded by white people they call racist and white supremacists!? Interesting! No,,, sad. Facts and research have seemed to just stop being the truth as long as on "FEELS" they no the real truth!! Sad.... If they actually did do a little research they would see the less and evilness people are spreading!
@@CybermanBill Too long, didn't read, don't care.
It is truly a blessing that we were able to see and hear these amazing men, and have them recount their stories. I am taking a trip this summer to Normandy with my family. God Bless these men.
That sounds great Joe. We had a 9 week trip booked late 2020 to Normandy, Norway and the Mediterranean but Covid cancelled all our plans. We were to stay at Bayeux, 4 miles inland from the beaches and to re-trace the events of 6 June 1944 and a day trip into Paris on the train (Paris is very busy). We are looking at re-scheduling now everything seems to have calmed down.
Enjoy the trip with your family mate. Best wishes from Australia.
@@TA-wg9oi dude , THATS AMAZING
Thanks so much for reacting to this. So many people don't, and for me it's the best content in the entire series.
When the show won awards for HBO, the cast members showed up with some of the actual surviving members of Easy-Company.
There are videos on CZcams of the actors WITH the person they played on film talking about the bonds they formed with each other. There are even videos on CZcams of the cast-members talking about the bonds THEY formed filming the show. I believe that you can even find a video of the Winters Memorial being dedicated in Normandy where Damien Lewis (who played Winters) gives a speech about how wonderful of a leader Winters was to his men.
These men formed a bond that would never be broken. But they were such generous and wonderful men after the war, that even the cast who played them ended up forming a bond that couldn't be broken. Not just with themselves, but with the men of Easy Company as well.
Happy you included the documentary. Hardly anyone ever does.
At one of the reunions the German doctor whom they got to, well threatened to kill unless he did, operate on Sgt. Grant was invited. The doctor later told them he was thankful to have saved Grant and that they got him to do it. After all that death saving a life must have been cathartic
My great grandpa stormed the beaches on D-DAY and was killed in 45 a couple months before the end of the war
I had the great honor of meeting a number of these heroes in 2008. I still cherish that memory.
Could you give us a report on that event?
@@Nimgimmer1492 USO tour featuring several of Easy’s members, including Wild Bill, Malarkey & Babe. Winters was unable to make the trip but those who could spoke of their experiences and friendship. We were all very moved. The actors who played them obviously took the time to get to know the man they had portrayed.
I second all the suggestion for The Pacific. Also excited to hear that Hanks & Spielberg are getting together AGAIN to do one on the air wars of WW2 called "Masters of the Air".
In Guarnere's book he mentions when he went back to Bastogne a little kid asked what happened to his leg since it was gone and he told the kid he lost it somewhere in the woods and if he found it he would give him a gift, Said the kid came back later sad he couldn't find it and Bill just laughed
Gotta watch Pacific!
Every part of the mini-series is emotional and heart-warming/tearing me up ~ AGAIN: ONE OF THE BEST EVER ~ Nikki, seeing you cry on part 9, made me cry all over again hard... GOD bless them all : RIP ... Thank you for the service and that quote from the Real Dick Winters: *grandpa were you a hero in the war. No, but I served with a company of heroes* makes me cry every time
Wild Bill Guarnier's granddaughter is on TikTok and, among other things, she tells stories about her Grandfather, and Easy Company
i did not expect to see this in my feed. Thank you so much for watching this!
I'm so glad to see more of these gentlemen.
Yes Steve, probably THE best cast Screaming Eagle was Bill Guarnere. Frank John Hughes really knocked him out of the park. He said he was poked his jaw out a bit and worked on the accent, and he seriously brought the man to life. It was an astonishing performance.
And now the last one has passed on. So now all we have is their interviews and any time they appeared for anything that was put down on film. We will at least have that, and their memory.
Oh I've been waiting for you two to watch this since you finished Band of Brothers, I haven't started the video but I'm sure Nikki loved this because of all the interviews
I love watching your reactions, guys. One of things with a great reaction channel like yours is that we get to see things again but it's with new eyes as we go along with you.
One word of warning about The Pacific, it is a *lot* darker and devoid of the sense of honourable warriors that you get from Band of Brothers.
In large part that was because of the nature of the enemy. The Nazi's were as evil as we can imagine but the ordinary German soldier was just a man doing his job as best he could in large part and, lest we forget, Europe had been in a state of war for centuries so not only did we get very good at it but also developed an ethos, a set of 'rules', that made it less barbarous. The Japanese, for all the beauty of their culture in some ways, lacked any of that restraint and respect in war. The things they did make your skin crawl and that impacted on the forces fighting them who became as brutal as those they were facing.
So go in a bit braced when you start watching it as it will likely sicken rather than inspire you.
Carrwood Lipton has pictures you can look up. It will not let me post the URL.
Today's Monday, a holiday, and I just happend to start watching your reaction to this amazing series. Rather coincidental it's june 6th, but certainly fitting.
Your reactions are great and true. I've watched all 10 episodes + bonus this same day.
Well done, thank you!
Looking forward to more content
Dick Winters last part ALWAYS makes me cry. ALWAYS. And I've seen that documentary about 12 times now.
"Earn this. Earn it!" ~Capt. Miller, "Saving Private Ryan"
Might sound over the top but watching this series and documentary really does give you a different perspective on life.
Brilliant reaction as well guys 👍
Completely understand what you mean here. Of course, knowing my own father was WWII Airborne also impacted my take on this series as well.
Excellent! Thank you. 50 years ago this past March, I was assigned to the 2/509th Airborn Infantry for(as it turned out) 18 months. No combat(thank the maker). Some of the most extraordinary people and events I ever experienced. I am truely blessed.
