About the chin straps. There was an urban legend that a bomb blast (that was potentially survivable) could cause the helmet to be blown off your head and if the chin strap was on, it could break your neck. So many soldiers decided not to use the chin strap because of this.
I like this answer. Thanks and Cheers!
Fantastic reaction again, I'm glad you're enjoying this amazing piece of history!
Sobel wouldnt have been with the guys, because he'd have been on the plane that caught fire and crashed in the field, that was the company's HQ plane. So the NCOs more or less saved his life by mutining and having him sent away.
When Winters and the handful of guys he assembled come up on the dead paratrooper hanging from a tree, there's a big whooshing sound overhead and the subtitles say it's [planes soaring] but in fact, that noise is made by the massive shells fired from the battleships off the coast, projectiles weighing 2700lbs reaching out up to 24 miles away. The battleship USS Texas, a few days after D-Day, even flooded some compartments on one side of the ship to gain a few more degrees of elevation on their guns, in order to reach even further inland!
On D-Day, especially concerning the paratroopers, they didn't have the resources yet to handle prisoners in the early phase of the invasion, which is why they typically didn't take any. Lt Speirs actually shot a group of them because they couldn't spare the manpower needed to guard them.
Malarkey meeting the German prisoner actually happened, but the man was from Portland, not Eugene (unsure why they felt the need to change that in the show). However, Malarkey and the man actually worked right across the street from each other, they found out as they spoke. The distance between them was changed in the show, because it would have been too unbelievable for the audience otherwise, to be told they worked across the street from each other.
There are 2 guys from Easy looking for a Luger, Hoobler seen in the first episode, trying to walk away with the fake German's gun at the airfield, and in this episode here Malarkey, running out into the firefight to check the dead Germans. Speaking of that scene, to simulate the bullet impacts in the ground, there were tiny amounts of explosive buried in the mud, and when he was running back, Scott Grimes, who plays Malarkey, was not meant to slip and fall, this was an accident. But he knew he might be laying right over some of those explosives that could pop out any moment, so the look of fright on his face isn't faked at all.
If you watch the assault on the trenches again, keep an eye on Buck Compton. During his jump, he lost his machine gun, and acquired another one after landing, but he didn't test fire it, and unbeknownst to him, the firing pin was broken, leaving him unable to shoot the gun. That's why he keeps messing with it at first, taking the mag out, cycling it, always asking someone else to cover them.
When Nixon tells Winters that he "sent the map to division", in fact Nixon ran the map himself, about 3 miles back to Utah beach, because he understood the importance of the information on it - all the German artillery pieces in Normandy. The high command back on the beach was so grateful for this piece of intelligence that, as a manner of thanks, they sent the first two Sherman tanks rolling off the beach to reinforce the 101st. These 2 tanks were used to flush out the remaining Germans at Brecourt Manor. Those are the 2 tanks we see Nixon riding on after the attack on the trenches.
About Utah beach: Later in life, a lot of vets wrote books about their experiences of the war, and in some of these books, their accounts of the attack on Brecourt Manor can be found. One of these vets was once contacted by man named Eliot Richardson, who would later become an attorney general in the Nixon administration, but was at the time a medic landing on Utah Beach on D-Day. Upon reading these books, he finally understood the reason why the artillery barrage had suddenly ceased on the beach that day, and reached out to some E-company vets to thank them for most likely saving his life, and so many more.
I hope you enjoy these little bits of extra info :)
Yes, we are enjoying the info you are giving us. Keep it coming. Cheers!
@SiblingsReactandDrink alright, I will! I have little bits like that for all episodes.
Also, I don't know if you've already watched/recorded Ep3, but without spoiling anything, the 2nd panel of text they show at the end of the episode is inaccurate, so disregard it. It's the one big mistake this show makes, since it was based mostly on recollections of the surviving veterans, they got that bit of info wrong. It'll be explained more in depth when you upload the Ep.
I am a Vietnam Vet , i made 1 of the 3 Combat jumps in Vietnam , Its not fun jumping under fire , Am glad i only had to do 1 , We had 9 injured out of 120 that jumped, What these Guys did back then is incredible with the Equip they had
Thanks for your Service and "Welcome Home" Trooper!
Also thanks so much for watching our channel and sharing your personal story. Cheers!
@@SiblingsReactandDrink Thank you
It was my Honor too
Be careful making assumptions: "So, all Germans went back to Germany to fight....". That particular German-American, from Eugene, who probably represented a small percentage, went back to Germany with his family (probably his parents) to fight on that side, but he didn't represent the majority, (although they don't have a lot of hard data about this sort of thing - but it would have been awkward had any of them tried to return to America afterward) There were many German-Americans who fought on the Allied side, just as many Italian-Americans and Japanese-Americans, etc., did.
Very True! Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment. Cheers!
13,000 men drop out of the sky at midnight, on top of the German Army.
Was it not like 20,000?
Well, this is when the sh*t gets real. "We're not lost Private...we're in Normandy." This one line displays Winter's ability to instill confidence in his men, even unarmed in the face of all adversity. And this soldier wasn't even a member of Easy Company. Currahee ♠
A natural leader indeed. Currahee!
She is correct, "kraut" derives from sauerkraut. Good reaction.😁
Thanks for watching our channel and the explanation. Cheers!
The whole chin strap thing. If you were in formation you would have it strapped, if you were planning on running or being physical like in maneuvers you would want to strap it unless you wanted it to fall off your head. It's not comfortable like you would expect but it was a preference. Good reaction. Well done.
Thanks for the explanation. We always wondered about that. Cheers!
The MG42 was a standard German machine gun. Buck Compton's 1-4-2-2-5 hand signal was telling Bill Guarnere and Don Malarkey that there was one MG42 twenty five yards on the other side of the hedge and to weight their throws accordingly.
Thanks for watching and the hand signal translation. Cheers!
Helmet straps for airborne operations: There were two straps, a cotton webbing neck strap attached to the helmet shell and under the jaw, and a lleather chin-cup strap attached to the liner inside the steel helmet. These straps were fastened for the inspection by jumpmasters prior to boarding. Once on the airplane the straps remained fastened through takeoff in case there was a crash landing. After takeoff, most jumpers unfastened the straps and removed the helmet for comfort. At the 10-minute warning in those days (20-minute warning now) the jumpers donned their helmets and fastened both straps. I've talked to paratroopers who made the Sicily, Normandy, and Holland jumps in the 82nd--everyone fastened both straps, if for no other reason that they did not want to lose their helmet on the opening shock of the parachute. And when they hit the ground, they for sure wanted protection from a possible concussion or striking fences, tree limbs, paved roads, stone farmhouses, etc.
Thanks for talking about the helmet straps.
8:35, McDowell is wearing the should patch of the US 82nd Airborne Division. Scattered paratroopers formed-up with whoever they could find in the dark. Nobody wanted to be alone in the Germans' backyard. Later, as time and the tactical situation would permit, they returned to their proper units.
The reason soldiers didnt wear the chin strap to their helmets was due to the fact that concussion from near by explosions could blow the helmet off, which was documented during the second world war. It was discovered that the chin strap could dislocate the jaw. The issue US helmet was enough protection against fallen debris but is certainly wasnt bullet proof some soldiers wouldnt wear the helmet in combat as it was a hindrance. Remember in those days there wasnt any body armour or ballistic proof equipment. Interesting enough the US issue helmet did stay on the head without slipping.
Thanks so much for watching and your explanation. Cheers!
The jump altitude. I served two tours in the 82nd Airborne Division, 70-72 and 84-89, Other years in Special Forces and parachute testing. Lowest I ever jumped was 600'. I also had the honor , in 2007, of talking to a C-47 pilot--"Smokey" Stover--who flew the D-Day missions. When the serials of drop airplanes for the 101st and 82nd Airborne Divisions crossed the English Channel and the coast of France, they encountered scattered fog/ cloud banks. This condition disrupted the formations, in many cases airplanes maneuvering away from the formations to avoid collisions. That meant many would miss their assigned drop zones and be scattered all around the Cotentin Peninsula. To try to navigate, many pilots descended from the assigned drop altitude to get under the clouds or at least to identify rivers or other landmarks. As a result of doing so, in some cases the parachutes opened so low (300' ?) that the jumper immediately landed. In other cases, the airplane was lower still, and the parachutes never had time to open--the entire planeload of jumpers killed on impact with the ground. On the other hand, if the airplane had climbed to higher than assigned altitude and the men jumped, then those paratroopers or their parachutes could be struck in midair by the wings and propellers of the following airplanes flying at the lower, assigned altitude. And there were the many fields and pastures that the Germans had flooded, resulting in paratroopers drowning in as little as three feet or less of water. It was truly a night to remember.
First of all, we want to Thank You for your service.
and thanks so much for giving us such details of that night. Cheers to you!!
We also want to say "Welcome Home" Trooper!
We know most Vietnam Vets did not get a warm welcome back then.
Hope Y’all stay with it😊, thanks for sharing with us😊😊👍✌️🇺🇸
You bet and Thank You for watching our channel. Cheers!
The T-5 and T-7 parachutes used by US airborne forces were no steerable. Further, they had a faster rate of descent than the later T-10 introduce in the late 1950s.
Great Episode - can't wait to see the rest
Thanks for Watching!!
@12:20 "Nicht Schiessen!" means "Don't shoot!"
Thanks for the translation and for watching our channel.
He was lucky he just lost a few teeth LOL.
"Our landings in the Cherbourg-Havre area have failed to gain a satisfactory foothold and I have withdrawn the troops," Eisenhower wrote. "My decision to attack at this time and place was based upon the best information available. The troops, the air and the Navy did all that bravery and devotion to duty could do. If any blame or fault attaches to the attempt it is mine alone."
-Dwight D. Eisenhower Supreme Allied Commander. This was his other speech. D-Day was never a guarantee..
Omar Bradley did not include this speech in his book. LOL A calculated risk is still a risk after all. Thank God it worked out in the end.
@@SiblingsReactandDrink Many omissions were made during the War. I have a suggestion later for you in the series you will enjoy
We will welcome your suggestion. Thanks
Lose chin strap is for safety. If there is a close explosion the helmet will fly off. If it's snug it could fly off with your head still in it.
Following the action of the battles is sometimes difficult, so I highly recommend the channel Operations Room, which has top down animated videos that cover all the details of most of the battles depicted in the show. There is one about the action to take the guns at Brecourt that is shown in this episode, and whether you do a reaction to it or not it is a really good short video to watch. The videos on that channel become increasingly helpful as the series progresses due to the battles getting much more confusing, but also because it was impossible to recreate some of the future battles on the show exactly as they happened in reality...so the Operations Room's analysis will fill you in on all the variances.
Thanks so much. we will check it out for sure.
I don't think Hall was killed via a booby trap as it makes no sense for the Germans to trap their own trench line since they are still using it.
Most likely it was a case of wrong place wrong time. If you look at the shot just before he is killed you see a German soldier die just outside of the dugout Hall runs into, it is possible he had a live grenade and dropped it when he went down.
Good observation. Thanks!
Another great episode I’m jealous those mimosas look tasty lol
Yes the are. Janice makes some mean mimosas. Cheers!
Jump too early and you were in the ocean, and with all that gear you would drown.
Very good point. Thanks for your comment. Cheers!
Came across your channel due to this magnificent series. Would like to hear your thoughts…more commentary on not only the veterans at the introductory clip but the men & the events. Thank you
Welcome aboard!
Cheers
Salud
Good reaction,but you get a lot more out of it if you talk over important parts
YT does not like it when we do not talk. Anyway we do a rewatch when we are not drinking. LOL. Cheers!
Rick, I know you want to react in your own way, but you may not realize that your tendency to react with laughter is going to detract from some very significant scenes as the series goes along, scenes which hold a very different place in the feelings of your viewers. Please try finding some short, appropriate words instead? Thanks.
It's great that you're reacting to this brilliant series, but please, can you cut back a little on the talking through scenes and over dialogue? Pretty annoying for the viewer, especially knowing it means that you're missing some important stuff.
YT does not like it when we are too quiet. But we usually do a rewatch later.
@@SiblingsReactandDrink Nothing to do with YT - choose to talk when there is NO dialogue.
Forget about saving private Ryan it's total fiction and shite
Thanks for watching our channel and sharing your opinion. Cheers!
I'm sorry but the gentleman reactor that laughs at each terrible issue such as the plane exploding in two or the guy about to land in the fire...that is such a negative and a turn off for me. I can't watch this where a reactor watching thinks death of Americans on D Day is a laughable event. Terrible and so disrespectful.
Thanks for sharing your opinion.
Do you really think he is laughing at their deaths? You are sick!
@@Zara-ec1tj They are death scenes...and he is laughing. What more do you need to know? Sick? Really? Watch the video...
YOUR NO MILITARY GENIUS !!! EVERY FIVE ROUNDS (BULLETS)
I never said I was. Do you mind telling us the correct tracer intervals?
I just realized that you did give us the answer. Thanks and Cheers!
