- sorry for the sucky resolution of the video, it is so much better in real life.
At the end of the war in Europe, Captain Winters applies to transfer to the war in the Pacific, where he beleives he can do some more good. During the interview, after certain questions, Winters has flashbacks of his time in hell, with his brothers in arms.
I don't know why I love this part of the movie. it shows the hell they go through, the shit they've done; and how they are scarred for the rest of their life. It's not that I love it, but the fact that they do that for us. The last of his flashbacks, particularily, is scary. The screams, and horror, destruction, it all just sends chills. In the actual movie, it is like nothing you've ever seen. So horrible, and devastating, there just is no word to describe it all.
You should really get this movie series, it will change your life. - Krátké a kreslené filmy

Like how Winters was trying to get every one of his surviving men home alive, that General was doing the same for Winters.
I thought the same. Funny that.
“Let me tell you son. You’ve done enough”
You've done enough....chills every time.
every time? how many times?
Yes the General - Major General (2 Stars) Macaliff I believe, he was not like those WWI general where body counts did not matter,. Then when the General stood up first, not normal, again showing respect for Winters efforts.
This series when it aired was so motivating and reminded this Navy veteran of certain people he served with that I looked them up and found them!
We had two different reunions starting in 2005. 25 years have passed since we had served together on the USS Eisenhower and it was one of the most inspiring gatherings and we were all grateful for doing it. 🇺🇲⚓️👍
If Winters had the chance to fight in the Pacific he would've been firing his M1 again immediately upon arrival
In other words....."request for transfer denied".
I remember an interview with Winters and I was struck by how anti- war and military he was. He mentioned that he never wore a wristwatch after the military because of it's obsession with time. Extraordinary man.
The best leaders are; in fact, anti-war!
It's a shame he never became a General.
With more Generals like him the last 80 years would've been a lot better.
There's no more anti war group of people than those who have fought them
He sounds like an admirable man who was dealing with his trauma on his own time.
Sometimes its a watch, sometimes it's a smell. You prefer going without being reminded.
@@RensuneGenerals are the ultimate company men. That wasn’t Dick Winters.
Many world war veterans talk about the intensity of the QUIET when peace comes. The typewriter, the ticking clock, the shuffling papers reach a crescendo with each flashback. I can't help but wonder if this was the intention.
Damn that's a good spot, Winters is doing well to hide all these things going on in his head.
Winters talking to the division commander to ask for any permission is like a big pass or fail when he decides
General Eldridge Chapman of 13th Airborne Division
Thanks for that. I love Band of Brothers but was never really sure who he was.
Thanks verymuch, I specifically searched trying to see which Division that Major Winters had applied to transfer to, you answered the question perfectly. Much appreciated.
@@Ser_Arthur_Dayne of the 5 US airborne divisions of WW2 (11th, 13th, 17th, 82nd and 101st), 13th was last to be combat ready (Jan 1945) and so has not been sent for combat jump. The 13th was first to be assigned to he invasion of Japan.
@@yatsumleung8618 Thanks very much brother
Starting at 0:40, when the men are pulling back, this flashback scene goes on for a few seconds longer than the actual scene in the 2nd episode. Its cool because you see the soldier flinching from the bullet impact below him.
Flashbacks will destroy a mans brain you will be ok one minute and the next you will be staring in to thin air with people looking at you thinking your a weirdo when you are actually having a flashback
Philip Watson Shooting a boy soldier no matter how justified by war would be a miserable memory to carry for life.
The thousand yard stare
Getting better
I dont remember a rotary phone ringing relentlessly during the interview.
It is a Truism, that good Commanders have command thrust upon them and are not those that seek the position.
*"Great men do not seek power. They have power thrust upon them."*

Patton, Eisenhower….Winters.
I would say way more than enough.
They will always be remember
Poor Hall " cowboy " he didn't survive to meet up his own company
Amazing Man!. I have had the pleasure of knowing a few men who fought in that war. All of them were Men worth knowing, having character beyond reproach. They were the Greatest Generation. We all pale in comparison. Thank God they were American.
My Dad was a WW2 Marine in the South Pacific then recalled and sent to Korea. I’m a Marine Vietnam veteran myself. My Dad, he was a truly remarkable Man.
Hope you don't mind me video taping your video that you posted of you video taping it on your TV do you?
If you ever post that video, do you mind if I video tape that video of you video taping his video of a video on his TV?
I don't recall seeing this part in the series. Was it a new addition?
no it has always been in Episode 10
Lived this interview but this clip needs much better audio visual to not take away from its greatness ( sounded like Sobel/ Schwimmer ) there for a second
Who is the actor that portrays the MG in this scene? Beau Bridges?
No, it's David Andrews.
Is that MG. Maxwell D. Taylor?
Yes
@@russelljohnson7067 No it isn't. It is the CG of the 13th Airborne Division, MG Eldridge Chapman
Oops my bad
I never fully understood this scene. He basically agreed to the meeting with Winters to do nothing but chat and eyeball his file?
Nuancolar Winters applied for a transfer to another unit so that he could go directly to the Pacific. The commanding officer agreed to meet out of respect, like he said, but ended up denying his transfer. He basically said that if he does go, he'll go with his own men. Personally, I think the commanding officer was aware of how much combat Winters had seen and was trying to save him.
Winters goal was to head to the Pacific. The General wanted to know why.
The General probably wondered why an officer would want to transfer out of a battalion where his men loved him so... In Winters' own words in the opening interviews of "The Breaking Point", he says, "I've seen death. I've seen my friends, my men, getting killed. It doesn't take too many days of that, and you change dramatically."
As others have mentioned, he took the meeting out of respect. Rather than a denial through channels, the general extended a courtesy to Winters because of his accomplishments and granted a face to face interview.
Also he made sure himself it wasn't out of an (even unnecessary) possibly career-move on winters side.
2:55 Does that general say "lemme tell you something Lieutenant"? Cause it sounds like it...
XxSirderekxX He says son, not lieutenant.
He says lieutenant, His official rank was lieutenant and i think battlefield promotions dont count when you return to the camp. (my guess)
@@o5-380 he says "let me tell you something, son"
@@lolookphor im pretty sure he says lieutenant. Just listen with higher volume
@@o5-380 he doesn't, just listen with higher volume.
I assume this is General Taylor?
Daniel Cannata no. if it was General Taylor he would have the 101st Airborne Screaming Eagle SSI. he has the golden Unicorn. that's 13th airborne.
General Elbridge Chapman.
Ahh. Thank you guys.
Soldiers looked so sharp in those days. Today, everybody wears those stupid kakis.
Who was the peron he seen dead
Pvt Hall
"cowboy"
Pfc Halls. First man Winters met on the ground. From Able Co. but volunteered to join them for the Brecourt Manor Assault
Guy from the 82nd, killed by a mine
I always felt it was a bit rude when the Officer in front of him mentioned "If you want some stars on those shoulders" as if that was Winter's motive to going to the Pacific. He was a natural leader looking to lead where he could be useful. Nothing more, nothing less.
No, it was not rude. He just said if he want stars and he wanted to earn that through combat he just told him it was not necessary because he done enough to warrant a star
It's a good question...probing to see what Winters actually wants.
I am sure he had plenty of candidates itching to get that combat experience to pave the way to their promotions and career path.
Here is a man who isn't interested in that...and the response to the question shows it.
It's actually quite clever. Assessing if he is going in there for the promotion (and by extension seeing if he is in there for the career) or for some other means.
Just imagine if the answer for Winters was "Yes, I want some stars." The tip "you don't need more combat experience for that" would be very helpful.
It's not that rude. Winters advanced from Lieutenant to Major extremely quickly. It wouldn't be surprising if that's what he wanted if you didn't know him personally.
Then you clearly misunderstood what he said, he said he has already done enough to warrant stars
A star on the helmet? From Major to brigader general how could it be possible?
The Star wasn't a rank insignia but a way to tell what nationality that you were. the star being American. But since you ask, it has happened a few times in history. The most notable being General Custer at the age of 21. it was later "clarified" to be a brevet promotion instead of a battlefield promotion.
@@JK-tn4xp I think the general mentioned "need more combat experience to get a star on the helmet" he meant promotion instead of nationality and earlier he said "get your own division"
He meant if he made the military a career. Winter's pretty much let the general know that he had no intention of making the army a career and just wanted to save some lives. Most of the officers that were as highly decorated as Winters were at least Colonels and mostly Generals of one sort or another. But they were mostly higher ranks in Korea and Vietnam not in WW2.
I took it to mean his eventual rank-- that if Winters planned to make the Army a career he would naturally aim to make General some day. The interviewer (Frank Borman from the series "From The Earth To The Moon" no less!) mentions this-- he says "because if you think you need more combat to get stars on your helmet you've done enough...". The implication was that if Winters made the Army a career, he could hope eventually to achieve the rank of General through normal career progression/promotion without have to transfer to get more combat time on his record.
To get to General you have to plan that out from at least major. At least in today's military.
Lousy audio and video.
Nothing like the degraded quality of recording off a TV screen. Image sucks, sound sucks, you were taken for a ride to mediocrity.
Sucky resolution doesn't begin to describe it. Take it down.
The video is 13 years old.....
