Albert Blithe actually survived his wounds suffered in Normandy. He was sent back to a hospital in the states to recover, where he stayed until his discharge in October, '45. He was then called back into service for Korea, where he was awarded 1 Silver Star, 3 Bronze Stars, and, 2 more Purple Hearts. He decided to make the Army his career after that, reaching the rank of Master Sergeant. He died, from complications of a burst ulcer, in an Army hospital in Weisbaden, Germany, in 1967.
From other video comments it is said that the mistake came from the survivors thought he had died, and the film team did not confirm some of the smaller details which was material and interview the story was based on.
Interesting note that many of the actors in BOB are actually British and it's kinda surprising when you see interviews with them and they're speaking in their actual voices. Another theme you might notice with Winters is that he rarely orders the men to do something without first telling them to "follow me". The mark of a true leader.
Nice reaction. When you remarked about “that guy” who shot the POWs in episode two, that was Lieutenant Ronald Speirs, the same guy who they were just talking to, and who gave Blithe the “you’re already dead” speech. Remember him. He’ll disappear for the next few episodes, but when he comes back I guarantee you that you’ll love him.
Remember when Sobel was inspecting the barracks and one soldier had so many love letters that Sobel was upset? That was Ed Tipper. He handed Sobel the map when the barbed wire was cut. He was the man hit by the mortar in the pharmacy. He survived his wounds and had a long career as a teacher in Colorado. He is the vet with the peach/salmon colored shirt in the intros.
Funnily enough Michael Fassbender is also in this playing Christenson, So Professor X and Magneto both had early roles in this.
"War is hell" is attributed to William Tecumseh Sherman a United States Army (Union) general during the U.S. Civil War. He said it to the cadets at the Michigan Military Academy in 1879 as a warning to them to not to wish for war. During the war, fifteen years earlier, he said, "War is cruelty, and you cannot refine it."
The series is based on the book of the same name by Stephen Ambrose, which is recommended reading - for us Brits, it acknowledges there were other nationalities fighting the Germans too and often the men of the 101st admired these ‘foreign’ forces more than their own. I believe Mr Ambrose interviewed many survivors and told their stories in the book.
Super nice reactions, hold on tight, it just get more and more intense from here on 😊
Your reaction deserves many more views! Hope to see part5&6 soon 😊
Thank you 😊
Great reaction! Most of the old men (interviewed veterans) are actually played by actors in the show....try and guess which actor(s) play which interviewee.
These two episodes covered a lot that happened to the 506th parachute infantry regiments, huuah, Essayons, Sappers lead the! 🎉
Excellent content Marley! Great tv series, looking forward to seeing more videos ✌✌
This series, throughout all of the episodes, presents the story with various degrees of accuracy & inaccuracy simultaneously to help tell the story in a way that the viewer can follow better.
I've just found this channel, so I didn't comment on the first two episodes because my comments would be several weeks late.
The story with Blithe, as many have doubtless pointed out, is only the most well known inaccuracy. There are many others. Some, which do a great disservice to the actual veterans. Blithe was also from Philadelphia, like Guarnere & Heffron, and the actual Blithe spoke more like them. When the British actor was cast to play Blithe, he could not do a convincing Philly accent, but did a great southern, rural US accent. So they just went along with portraying him that way. The actual Blithe was also a good, tough soldier - far from how he was portrayed here.
I won't get into the inaccuracies and embellishments from the first two episodes here. But just so you know, this series is the story about an actual unit and their actual journey from D-day to the end of the war - with very many correct portrayals. But there's a lot of "Hollywood" applied as well.
Great reaction! Looking forward to the next one.
Great reaction Marley. To understand more about 'Market Garden' please watch the movie 'A Bridge too far' it is an excellent film with a great cast.
Very inaccurate in places though sadly and it perpetuates a number of old outdated myths.
Such a great miniseries.
The LT that was shot who was at the front of the tank column when they jumped into Holland when he was told to step back by Bull survived (but not everyone knew that he survived) later worked for the CIA, and one of the guys who was there when he was shot in neck and was surprised to see him alive later on. The man who saw him was actually freaked out when he saw him later in life because he didn’t know he lived the gunshot wound.
In episode 4 you asked, “Were they expecting them?” In some cases, yes.
Rewind the footage, certainly you noticed how much more organized this drop was than the one the night of D-Day.
First, it was a daylight jump. Second, notice how the paratroops land in a green field but they land on a circle of hay on the field.
Some Dutch farmers were told to do this to ease the stress on the Airborne’s ankles and knees, whether they were told why they were doing it or not.
Ahh ok yeah that makes sense! Thank you for clarifying that - thanks for watching !!! ☺️
My military buddies and I watched it when it came out and they all said I look exactly like the German that Blithe killed except I was about 35 at the time. Wonder if that actor was German? Probably not, but i do have alot of interest in my German heritage. My great great great grandfather came over from northern Germany to fight for the North in the Civil War
You will see Spiers get more & more intense as the series progresses. And from what those who knew him, it seems his real-life intensity was toned down for the series.
I like your exit music at the end!
Thank you!!! ☺️
I am always confused at the end of episode 3 when Lipton says "we're heading back to France, we will not be returning to England boys". Which suggests that they are not in France but then he seems to contradict himself about not returning to England. Surely they are already in England, or they are, at least when Malarkey collects his laundry from the English woman at the end, before they drop into Holland. ??????????
The use of children as spies and in the resistance, this, too was true and hinged on the peculiar geography of the Netherlands.
It’s almost all very low, flat ground, lacking forests and the roads often run along the top of the famous Dutch causeway system.
So anyone traveling from one place to the other would travel on an elevated, very straight road cutting through very open terrain.
It was too easy for the Germans to plop down a few monitors spaced rather far apart and keep an eye on the whole country.
Initially, men trying to move from here to there, came under too much scrutiny to be up to anything covert. Later, adult women were included and the only people who could hide in plain sight were children.
By late summer of 1944 the Allies had complete control over the skies and that affected the tanks on both sides.
The German tank hiding as a haystack was a common sight amongst German armor. Allied control of the air was so complete that German tanks had to thoroughly camouflage to survive.
If you see old photos of a tank trying to pretend to be a bush, it’s a German tank.
Allied tanks almost never used camouflage and placed colored panels on their engine decks.
They wanted to make sure tank-hunting pilots could clearly see their tanks so they wouldn’t suffer a friendly fire incident.
The shaming and shunning and shooting of ‘collaborators’ wasn’t confined to Holland.
WWII was a much more mobile, fluid war than WWI. Lead elements might roll into a town and ‘liberate’ it and scenes of reprisals were common everywhere along the line.
In the instances where lead elements were thrown back and some town might change hands, the ‘judges, jury and executioners’ in the morning might find themselves victims, themselves, by sundown.
Replacements: "Quit looking at me like that! Am I alright??" Is one of my favorite moments. Between Winters and Nix, the care is there. Not bad for Nix, with bullet holes in his helmet, having never fired his weapon in combat...
Winters: "Never put yourself in a position to take from these men"
Buck: "Alright...I'll throw left handed then..." 🎯
As Winter's says. They have to move fast otherwise mortars and artillery will hit them. You cant stay in a stationary position.
Great reactions, not giving anything away you will see Sobal one more time. Looking forward to future reactions.
“Not giving anything away” *proceeds to give something away*
@@CrackheadYoda only revealed he will appear in the future episode nothing further, when and where are still in question.
If you want to know more about this battle watch “A Bridge Too Far.” Show what happened and what went wrong!
It's very inaccurate in places though sadly and it perpetuates a number of old outdated myths.
prepare for episode 7 and 9. a lot of emotions have seen
Miss Marley,Please react to Pacific if you can,it's world class as well as bob.
Carentan: Yes, Blithe survives. One of the few mistakes Band of Brothers makes. Then went on to serve, with distinction in the Korean War. "The only hope you have is to accept the fact that you're already dead. The sooner you accept that, the sooner you'll be able to function as a soldier is supposed to function: without mercy, without compassion, without remorse. All war depends upon it.”
- Captain Ronald Speirs. He's more than a man of his word and will soon prove it for the entire company. Currahee ♠
Boys and old men? Not exactly. There were reports from the Dutch resistance that there were more and better German units in the area, but there was too much emotional commitment to Market Garden to call it off. Sounded good in theory to end the war in 1944 with a bold stroke that would catch the Germans napping.
That's an old myth.
In reality the reports of German forces (not exactly huge numbers) actually expanded the original operation Comet which only involved the British and Polish paratroopers into Market Garden with the inclusion of two American airborne divisions. This more than doubled the paratroop strength.
There were more than enough paras to deal with what the Germans had in the area at the time but the air generals screwed up the planning and decided to disperse the drops over 3 days and wouldn't fly closer to the objectives. Even Montgomery tried to get the airborne to fly double missions on day one, but Brereton refused. Montgomery had no jurisdiction to overrule the air forces. Eisenhower did but Eisenhower didnt step in because he'd only just appointed Brereton to command the First Allied Airborne Army.
Walking past dead bodies, either u desensitize yourself to the situation or u die because fear takes over
The 8000 lost at Arnhem were killed and captured, so it's not quite as horrific as if you interpreted lost as killed.
Got my sub
Did you recognise Lipton as Donnie Wahlberg? And the actor that plays Winters is the star of Homeland and Billions.
Yes I did recognise him although I haven’t seen those other shows
@@marleysmovies Did you know he's a Brit? Blows my mind when I hear him talk every time. LOL.
@@boki1693 haha! No I didn’t! He does a really good accent!
Really beautiful eyes ma'am ❤
BLITHE DIDN'T DIE. THEY MADE A MISTAKE. HE LIVED ANOTHER 20 YEARS AFTER THE WAR.
(also, you're very attractive) :)
Ahh thank you so much for telling me that! I was so sad when I read that at the end!! I wonder how they made that mistake
@@marleysmovies I read online that the show got that info from a book that was written about the 101st Airborne Division.
Nobody from Easy company ever heard from blithe again so they all assumed he was dead. I saw an interview with one of the easy company veterans ( I won’t say who to avoid spoilers) and he said that the episode was unfair to the actual Albert Blithe, but I think they just used the character to convey the absolute terror that men went through, and I think that particular character was chosen because of the hysterical blindness he experienced after the attack on Carentan. Also, the series is based off of Stephen Ambrose’s book of the same name, plus hours of interviews with surviving veterans, talking about other men in the company, and also their own experiences.
@@marleysmovies A couple of survivors from Easy got confused over the funeral of another paratrooper with a similar name.
Don't take offense. Many think tanks vs. infantry are undefeatable. Here is 13:24 US army training video from WW2 czcams.com/video/taHFUKKKmJM/video.htmlsi=EE8Z-mUTPWsYOtgw
Gee, I'm an idot. I thought I subacribed already
The brutal treatment of the Dutch women collaborators shocked me the first time I saw it. Before anybody begins preaching to me about how they deserved it, it's only a personal observation. This is my umpteenth time time watching BoB. It still shocks me.
I had previously read about this treatment of women in Paris who had been with the Germans.
@@martensjd happened all throughout Europe. Even Denmark. A country largely unharmed (compared to many other countries)
