We don't shed tears that these men are now gone, but celebrate and rejoice that men of this caliber ever lived.
My uncle's FIL landed at D-Day, he never spoke a word about it. Hero.
Well said
My late father-in-law was a waist gunner on a B-24 Liberator. After the war he came home to his wife. He went to work for General Electric. Ann had trouble getting pregnant and had a miscarriage so they adopted a brother and sister, my wife. Soon after the adoption Ann got pregnant and had a girl. My wife says she always felt like she was Jim and Ann's daughter. She is very close to her sister. Jim became a lay preacher. He never showed signs of PTSD except for nightmares which diminished with time. All this according to Ann. Jim's 2 tragedies in life were losing his teenage son in a car accident and Ann's death a year and a half before Jim passed away. Jim's older brother Sam, was in the infantry and he too came home to a job and a family. The men that fought in Europe, Asia, Italy, and the Pacific were all citizen soldiers. We should honor them right along with all those who risked their lives for their buddies and our freedom.
That’s such a great history of your father-in-law and family. Thank you for sharing this Mike
My grandfather was top-turret gunner on a B-24 and flew in the 450th BG of the 15th Air Force stationed in Manduria, Italy. This series inspired me to do video interviews with him about his experiences...we got as far as his childhood and basic training on the time line, but once we got to his talking about being sent to Italy he said, "Link, I think that this is all we need to talk about" and we ended those interviews. I'll never forget him telling me, "I don't know why I should be allowed to tell my stories, I'm not a hero...the real heroes are those that never came home and never got the chance to tell their stories." My grandfather had a rough time after the war and actually got kicked out of his hometown of Brady, TX by the sherrif once for getting into fights after he returned. He had nightmares and vivid dreams until his death at 87 yo, and the family would joke about how "he's such a vivid dreamer!" We didn't know about PTSD then, and could not understand or appreciate that at the time. Thank you for sharing about your father-in-law, and you are right that we should honor them.
@@linkblevins3558 Such a sad story. Only people who lived the experience of being in one of those bombers can know the horrors they experience. My father-in-law never talked to me or anyone else, except maybe Ann, his wife about his war experience. He enlisted right after Pearl Harbor and stayed on as a gunner right up to the end of the war. The only thing he ever said to me about the war was, "Thank God you never have to see what a 20mm cannon from a Bf 109 can do to a man." Jim went through the war without a scratch but he must have seen friends in other planes go down. He also saw fellow crew members get killed or injured; according to what Ann told me. He did suffer from recurring nightmares, but those diminished with time. Ann said Jim signed up for another tour after he completed the required missions. She said Jim wanted to see the war to its end. He would have gone to the Pacific but Japan surrendered before he was shipped out. Other than the dreams he suffered no ill effects from the war. My guess is he turned to God and the Bible. He studied the scriptures and prayed every day of his life. Ann once told me that he came home a different man, but different in a good way. I'm not sure what she meant but the Jim I knew was kind and very considerate of others while at the same time being a man's man. He really was a good guy and everyone who knew him misses him.
Easy Company is the most ironic name in military history. From D-DAY all the way to Hitler's Eagle's Nest, there was nothing Easy about it. I never want things I love to end, but you want the pain to end for these Men, and the peace to begin. The German Field Marshall's speech is actually what ties the entire concept of of the series together unexpectedly. I implore you to see "We Stand Alone Together" and Ron Livingston's (Nixon) Bootcamp Diary. It makes you appreciate the series even more unbelievably. For context of this story you must see "The Fallen of World War 2" All on CZcams. "Were you a hero in the War Grandpa? Grandpa says no, but I served in a company of heroes" Near tears every time. Thank you for taking this journey. Currahee! ♠
Thank you so much for watching! I’m watching We stand alone together soon! Il check out the boot camp diary too! ☺️
I am a combat veteran ( Vietnam ) . Sometimes when other vets and I will get together someone will say ( we know what others don't ) I think anyone who has watched this will get what we mean.
War changes a person forever. I don't think you could possibly know the good you have just done. thank you for this and God bless you.
I love the scene with Spiers where you can see how he has switched out of ruthless killer mode now that the War is essentially over and he cant bring himself to shoot a man who clearly deserves to be shot ... he looks down at his own hand confusedly realising things have changed. These people were transitioning from War mode to what comes after and for many it is clearly very difficult. That and the scene with the German General adressing his men are brillaint at showing the humanity behind the uniforms.
I read somewhere in a comment that Col Sink later reportedly told Spiers he should have shot the guy and save everyone the trouble..
Speirs said he was going to shoot the guy as he'd never had an issue with situations where summary action was needed. He said the reason he thinks he didn't shoot him is because there may have been just a little bit of doubt in his mind that wasn't the right guy.
@@patrose7742 yeah I get that but even the fact there was doubt was new for him. You can see in the scene as it is played that none of them are 100% what to do and that is very different to the past, I think its wonderfully done as it shows how they have started to shift from war mode to something new
Great reaction. That last thing Winters says is him quoting a letter he received from a fellow veteran (he says “the letter from Mike Ranney”). Ranney was among the sargeants in episode 1 who protested Winters’ court-martial. He’s the one who got busted down (demoted) to Private. He eventually got back to his former rank and served in Easy again. They remained friends like so many of them. Ranney was talking about his own grandson, and Winters shares the story because of its beautiful sentiment.
Grant suffered from neurological issues the rest of his life. He ran a tobacco shop in the San Fransisco area.
Liebgott fell off the grid for a few years after the war. He wan't a cab driver; he actually became a barber in the Central Valley of California. He never spoke of his war experiences. After his death, his children found out about his war service from the Ambrose book & BoB series. They contacted Guarnere & attended several reunions.
Sobel died of malnutrition in a VA hospital after being blinded in a failed suicide attempt. His family did not agree with the way he was portrayed in the series.
I understand about Sobel he was portrayed poorly and he was not bad like this show painted him out to be.
The book paints a more even picture of Sobel even thought there were elements in the series that were spot on. Ambrose said he asked every man he interviewed for the book if Easy became what it did because of, or in spite of, Sobel. He said every man that didn't answer, "Both", would look him right in the eyes and say, "Herbert Sobel MADE Easy Company!"
The greatest ending to any show, ever. That last scene, and the revealing of who's who never fails to make my eyes fill up. There are two other scenes that get me; the speech from the German general, and also the bit when Malarkey is with all his pals in the back of the truck waving to the girls, the sheer joy in his voice when he says 'the war is over!'. Gets me every time.
Great Reaction Marley. Your right, this should be required viewing in schools. What a great way for kids to learn about history.
Lovely reaction, you'll love the documentary " We stand alone together ", much more hearing from the veterans themselves ... and they did have regular reunions ! You're not alone in being moved to tears at the end ...
These men were labeled “ the greatest generation.” The were certainly that, without a doubt. I’m honestly glad that none of them are alive now, to see what the world has become. Not because I wanted them gone, but because I believe they would be so disappointed. God bless these men, a band of brothers.
Marley, be advised as tough as BoB has been The Pacific is on another level due to the enemy faced. It is harder for me to watch. As a Navy Corpsman myself, I am also the Grandson of a WWII US Navy Seabee, he fought along side Marines for most of the battles shown.
BoB was filmed on location in many of the actual buildings.
They are all gone now.
For the Fallen-
Stand down now good and faithful servants. Your long watch is over. We have the Conn now. Go rest high on that mountain brothers. Be at ease, Rest in Honored Peace. Go forth and war no more. God's Speed and God bless. Prayers for your families and friends. Prayers for those still on watch. Fair Winds and Following Seas Brothers
All Hands render Honors as the 24 Hallowed notes sound.
And one more time this old Doc whispers,
Semper Fi........
Spandau Prison is the prison facility where most of the Nazi leaders, and financiers who were not given the death penalty were sent to serve their sentences for their war crimes of WWII, a lot of them recieved life sentences, many of them got anywhere from 10 to 40 years depending on how bad their crimes were, but until the last war criminal passed away, Britian, France, and the U.S. maintained a security force at the prison, once the last one that was given a life sentence passed away, that wing of the prison was handed back over to the German Government and the last allied forces left, their job was completed, Spandau is now a regular German civilian prison and no longer shares jurisdiction with military forces.
Unfortunately, all the men of Easy Co. have now passed away. The last one was Bradford Freeman, who died 3 July 2022. He was not featured in the series. The last officer to pass away was Lt. Ed Shames, who died 3 December 2021. He did appear briefly in the series and was the guy who Winters said always feels like he needs to shout all the time, while he was discussing with Nixon who he'd like to lead Easy / who to send home when Nixon was originally chosen. This was in episode 7, "The Breaking Point".
No spoilers on "The Pacific" it was funded because of the commercial success of "Band of Brothers" and it is highly historically accurate with a huge, record production budget for a TV series. However, it is far different in tone because it was a different war even though it was concurrent with the one in Europe. Don't expect it to be a copy/paste of "Band of Brothers."
Thank you Marley for being willing to share your reactions to this amazing series with the rest of us.
Thank you for watching along with me ☺️
I'm Slovak. When Adolf Hitler took control of Czechoslovakia, my great-grandfather fled to Britain and received pilot training in the RAF. He fought in the Battle of Britain and later took part in bombing missions against Germany. My great-grandfather was shot down and killed in action over his native Czechoslovakia on Tuesday, April 10, 1945.
Honor and glory to all heroes who sacrificed their lives for our freedom!
May God Bless your Grandfather 🙏
In case anyone wondered, Spiers didn't kill the drum because the guy seemed legit confused when asked about a weapon making him wonder if the men has the wrong guy and just had another guy who was drunk. So he hesitated
Floyd Craver was the name of the I Company replacement who shot Staff Sergeant Charles Grant in the head. He received a dishonourable discharge and a life sentence (which was later rescinded) for his actions. That being two counts of murder (Hauptmann Edward Altacher of the Wehrmacht and Major R.G. Watkin of British Intelligence), one count of attempted murder (the aforementioned Sergeant Grant) plus one count of desertion when he attempted to escape incarceration prior to his court martial.
There were allegations that Craver had attempted to assault an Austrian woman, but they were never brought to light during his trial. But as mentioned before, his life sentence was rescinded as he died in July of '87, apparently as the result of a head on collision with a truck, riding on his motorcycle under the influence of alcohol. Three years earlier Charles Grant had passed away.
If you're like me you probably figured out which old man Winters was without having to see his name at the end, they pretty much gave that away during the pre-episode interviews. The other one that was easy to identify without having to see his name was Bill Guarnere, not because of pre-interview details but because of the actor they chose to play him:)
Popeye Wynn was pretty easy too - the guy they cast does look a lot like him.
It’s crazy to think while these guys in Europe were celebrating the end of their war, marines in the pacific were still getting slaughtered in brutal battles on tiny islands like Okinawa or Iwo Jima
Yeah - this is something else that was completely new to me and my understanding of WW2
There are many videos about the guys. Ron Livingston, who played Louis Nixon has a few podcasts about the show. One in particular covers the physical training that the cast went through in order to portray the actual soldiers.
Great observations on your part. I enjoyed watching the show through you.
As we say in Texas; y'all be safe. That's to everyone.
Apart from the last line of the entire series, the fact that they filmed in the actual Eagle's Nest still blows my mind. That big fireplace was a gift from Mussolini.
In addition to the documentary already suggested, there is a “video diary” made by Ron Livingston (Lewis) about the boot camp training period for most of the main cast. Not only does it show them learning military information, it also shows them bonding together as a cast. It is both humorous and emotionally powerful.
God bless you girl
Hi Marley , great job reacting to a great series. My uncle died at Battle of Bulge so even though it was long before I was born it still moves me to see others moved by a shared experience. Most of my ancestors came from England , Ireland & Wales so who knows maybe we r related somewhere back in time. One of my ancestors was 1 of the original pilgrims from England that landed on Plymouth Rock and now I myself live in Plymouth Michigan. Well anyways UK & US r also brothers forever. Never join the modern choras of people trying to blame all the worlds faults on England as England built the framework of the modern world where we can share youtube videos about real history and entertainment !.....1 last thought " Hacksaw Ridge" would be another great true story movie to react to. Well cheers to you if I am using that phrase correctly ? see you at next reaction !!😊
The points system was thought up when the war in Europe was over and the US didn't have the logistics to 1) ship part of the men and material home 2) keep supplying the personel in charge of de-Nazification in Europe 3) shipping part of it all to the Pacific and 4) having to keep supplying the ongoing war against Japan there. All at the same time.
Great reactions Marley! Thanks for sharing your journey with us.
The one thing about the men you serve with especially in combat is that you have a bond which is forever, there is nothing which can sever that bond might even death. It has been almost 30 years since I have seen any of the men I served with but I am still close to many of them, Essayons, Sappers lead the way.
“If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants”. - Isaac Newton - 1675
These men were Giants, and we can see so much further because of them.
You Made it 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Thank you for the respectful treatment of these American Hero’s. Honest reactions and reviews
They had yearly reunions. Some of the men lost touch with the others but for the most part they all stayed close writing and calling they guys they were close to and meeting up at the reunions every year till their deaths.
That’s good to know, thank you for sharing that with me! 😊
Since you watched Saving Private Ryan and this you might want to watch Hacksaw Ridge - the true story of Desmond Doss and The Pacific.
So glad you enjoyed this series, it is the best. My dad served with the 10th Armor which was next to Easy Company from Bastogne to the end of the war. Luckily he had enough points to go home and made it safely. I have to warn you about the Pacific because it is very brutal. It was a totally different war from the European War.
yeah the end is amazing
I am happy to have spent all ten episodes with you and reactions. The last scene with sobal, I always point out to episode one when he was being transferred, winters gave him a salutes and I was glad he did point out the return salute, great put down to sobal. See you in the Pacific.
The documentary is great.
I don't want to know a person that doesn't have strong feelings at the end of Band of Brothers.
The outdoor scenes set in Austria and Germany were actually shot in Switzerland.
Great reaction. Thank you. :)
Mary, your tears at the end when the actual men were talking was quite touching. The difference between BAND OF BROTHERS and movies that are fiction is that BAND OF BROTHERS was about real people. There is a documentary THE FALLEN OF WORLD WAR TWO. Using graphs the narrator puts WW2 into perspective. I don't want to ruin it for you should you decide to do it so I'll only say, "It will blow your mind." BTW, I think your reaction today was your best.😊❤
My father was just about to be shipped out to California to prepare to be deployed to the Pacific after fighting through France and Holland but thankfully the war ended before he left.
Cheers Marley, great job. I'd seen Band of Brothers before when it was on TV in the UK but it was great to revisit with your perspective alongside it. Looking forward to The Pacific, which I've never seen before.
Thanks for posting Marley. It truly is a great series that I've watched probably a dozen times. What they call Ep 11, We Stand Alone Together' is also a good watch too.
Best wishes from Australia......🦘
Thank you for watching with me!! I am going to be reacting to We stand alone together so I look forward to posting that very soon! ☺️
I live right outside of Philly. Dick winters grew up about a hour and half away from me. On my birthday which is Jan 2nd I wanted to drive up and see his memorial. Needless to say it was a beautiful memorial dedicated to him. I also found his gravesite. I looked at his stone and he passed away on Jan 2nd in 2011. I had Instant chills because the odds of him passing on my birthday and me wanting to see his memorial on my birthday was kinda surreal.
At some point they started having annual reunions
Herbert Sobel's story after the war is rather tragic. He got married, then divorced, and, lost most everything. In 1970, he attempted to take his own life, but, failed, and, blinded himself. He died, alone, in a VA nursing home in 1987.
I found you through this series. Glad that I have. Wonderful reaction and thanks for sharing. I think you will really enjoy the documentary
Good morning from Chicago. Was looking for something to watch at work this morning. So happy this popped up. ❤ Looking forward to hearing your final thoughts.
Good morning Dave, il look forward to reading what you think 😊
I've enjoyed your reaction to this series very much. Well done young lady and thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much! Keep your notification’s on for my reaction to the documentary and the other shows coming up! 😊 I appreciate you watching along with me!
Well done.
Thank you Marley for a lovely review. This was an excellent review of the best mini-series ever. It has certainly earned you a sub...and I look forward to your review of Masters of the Air (and The Pacific). Keep in my NOTHING can compare to BoB. I thought The Pacific was well done..but wasn't as impacted by it. I just finished MotA...I would put it between BoB and The Pacific...but closer to BoB. When reviewing MotA one frequent complaint is the lack of veteran interviews...but remember...this is 20 years after BoB...and most of the men who flew with the Bloody 100th have long since passed. Peace.
Thank you so much for your support I’m glad that you appreciated my reaction to the series ☺️

MASTERS OF THE AIR NEXT
Will be soon after the pacific! I’m very much looking forward to watching both ☺️
I hate autocorrect. It was supposed to be MARLEY not Mary.
Yes unfortunately this did happen, After Sergeant Grant was shot, and Speirs ordered 1st Sergeant Talbert to find the shooter, Easy company did in fact find him, and beat the hell out of him, When Sergeants Malarkey and "BULL" Randelman found him, he was raping a young Austrian girl, it was also discovered that BEFORE he shot and killed the British Major and German Captain at the checkpoint where he shot Sergeant Grant, he had already shot and killed 3 other Allied members at another checkpoint, 1 British Captain, 1 American Leiutenant, and 1 Canadian Sergeant, after Captain Speirs told Easy Company to turn him over to the MP's, he was transported back to Leavenworth Kansas till he stood his Court Martial in 1946, he was found guilty of 5 counts of Murder, 1 count of attempted murder, 1 count of rape, and was hanged in Leavenworth in 1947, Sergeant Grant did recover from his head wound, but never regained any of his memories from before the night he was shot, he passed away in his home in 1976, the cause of his death was never released.
Can I ask you to please consider watching The Last Kingdom it has five seasons of great story telling and amazing characters all topped off with a movie to finish the story. It is a popular show so I'm sure a lot of people would enjoy watching your reactions to it.
I just heard the list of shows you already have lined up so I understand you won't have any space right now for a five season journey but please consider doing it in the future as I am sure you would love the show & the many great characters within it.
I will be sure to add the last kingdom! I have heard people I know mention it so I am interested! Thank you 😊
@@marleysmovies Thank you for the reply, I will look forward to hopefully seeing it on your channel one day.
I like this Britibk girl
i think spears would have done it if grant had died
Before you jump into another series or movie give the 20 minute "BOATLIFT - An Untold Tale of 9/11" a Reaction.
Thank you for your reactions
Can u put the Chernobyl series on your list if u haven't seen I beautiful ❤
This is one I was considering 🤔 I was thinking of doing it after the pacific & masters of the air
@@marleysmovies u won't be disappointed miss Marley
It is hard to believe this series is over 20 years old and it looks like it was made yesterday.
Marley did you notice all the young actors that were unknown at the time and now familiar?
Simon Pegg
Jimmy Fallon
Collin Hanks
Michael Fassbender
Jame McAvoy
Yes I did, it’s so nice to see that so many went on to do more shows and movies
