- This series, originally broadcast on HBO, tells the story of Easy Company, 506th Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division, U.S. Army. Based on interviews with survivors of Easy Company, as well as soldiers' journals and letters, this 10-part series chronicles the experiences of these young men who knew extraordinary bravery and extraordinary fear. Based on the book Band of Brothers written by Stephen Ambrose.
Hosted by Roger Bennett, HBO’s Official Band of Brothers Podcast retraces Easy Company’s journey from Normandy to the Eagle’s Nest, episode by episode, with insight from its biggest stars, including Tom Hanks, Damian Lewis, Ron Livingston and Donnie Wahlberg.
Frist off, I wish I would have taken this series with a much higher level of understanding. Not understanding that these are just words on paper for actors is very lacking in my reaction to this series. I did watch the full length episodes some things just get edited out. I'm sorry if you find my reaction disrespectful. I have nothing but respect for the actual men who are heroes. Obviously I didn't really understand that these actors are playing out the role of very specific actual people in the world and not just playing out a story written for them. My appologies.
Thank you all for the support.

Tidbits on real Band of Brothers: Lt. Dike is a real war hero with medals to show it. He was wounded in the battle of Foy and they say it affected him. He was not the villian portrayed in the series.
It seems that Lt Spiers DID shoot those POWs in Normandy as well as his own Sgt. He was a soldier who got things done. His actions were known, but his CO was killed before any investigation or charges were filed. He fell through the cracks.
Thanks for the reaction James.
The smallest flower is a thought, a life answering to some feature of the Great Whole, of whom they have a persistent intuition.
Knowledge has three degrees opinion, science, illumination. The means or instrument of the first is sense; of the second, dialectic; of the third, intuition.
Well, it's not just a clever name. When Winters tries to go in against orders, and then sends LT. Speirs in he more than put his money where his mouth is...When he goes into relieve Dike of command, that scene is stunning every single time. When Buck's helmet hits the ground, it's as Earth shattering as the German artillery emotionally. It's the "thousand yard stare." As they say...
Firstly the men never said they didn't need to be re-supplied, secondly Lt Spiers admitted to both the killing of the POWs and the Sgt in his Platoon.
There are over 500 starfish in the bathroom drawer.
He spiked his hair green to support his iguana.
Malarkey is working through PTSD in real time on camera and this putz is telling him to trim his eyebrows.
Seriously, there is a time and place for his terrible jokes and a war veteran tearing up on camera fifty years after the events is not the times to give grooming advice.
@@sbunc92 yeah, the fool probably thinks "oh well the one guy was shaving in winter, so this guy should trim his eyebrows while sitting in a comfortable chair in a climate controlled room"
The woods near Foy still have the E Company fox holes (or what is left of them), and the distance between the town and the trees is quite a bit more than on the show (they might have been cut back)
That particular incident with Hobbler and the Lugar went a little different in real life. The Lugar didn't go off because he was playing with it, he was crawling under some barbed wire and the gun got caught in it and discharged. As to your question about it having a safety the answer is no, or at least not that model. At this point in the war Germany was having trouble with manufacturing thanks to bombing raids on their factories, as such the quality of their weapons began to deteriorate. German officers that carried a Lugar would keep them in that leather holster to prevent such accidents.
I think they sent Lt. Peacock home for the furlough because he was the most ineffective of the company’s lieutenants. He was the one whose not being there would do the most good.
He was the guy that yells too much.
They sent Peacock home because he was the least effective officer in the field.
Someone is talking about his friends being killed in front of him and how that affected him later in life. Your response to that is, "You need to trim your eyebrows."
Last year, I was able to connect with a distant cousin L for the first time. He told me about his Uncle Elroy, who was a WWII veteran who fought in the Battle of the Bulge. He returned home with severe PTSD that sometimes caused him to become violent. Once, he came to his brother’s house for Sunday dinner. L, who was a teenager, and Elroy got into a discussion about something that the cousin was learning in history class. Elroy got really angry because he disagreed with the topic and he nearly hit L until L’s dad got between them. After, the dad sat L down and said, “Let me try and explain my brother to you. He came back from the war completely changed. It’s best not to disagree with him because he will go off on you.” His father basically blamed the Battle of the Bulge for the change in his brother, who was an extremely smart guy (he had the highest IQ recorded at the recruitment center in Brooklyn during the war), but came home rather rootless.
If it is not right do not do it; if it is not true do not say it.
Speirs did shoot one of his soldiers who was drunk but he shot him when he threatened Speirs with a gun. He was cleared in an investigation.
Donnie Wahlberg's episode...
Patton had said he rescued them. They replied they did not need rescueing
This is the only person out of countlessssss reactions to this series who didn't realize the interviews in the beginning were the actual people.. and why you wouldn't pay much attention to it is beyond me? very odd imo.. ruins it really.. i do have to say other than this his reactions are great. nothing really even wrong with this its just that beginning stuff..
I told him that right at the start of the series, and he even replied, and then we still gotta sit and watch this horrid display of ignorance -- I'm glad people have spoken up because I'm halfway thru and I'm seething over here
Recommendations? LA Confidential, Heart and Souls (Robert Downey, Jr.), Working Girl....TV series or miniseries)? ...The Newsroom, The Looming Tower....
What is wrong with you? You have a gift for laughing at inappropriate times and giving advice at inapprpriate times as well, as if you're some sort of expert. What battes were you ever in?Have a little respect for God's sake.
and he refuses to learn, he does it every episode, I think the dude is mentally deficient.

Not quite as well know but The Last Kingdom is fantastic. You won't go wrong reacting to that show.
You should react to the pacific next! All the same producers of band of brothers, same structure with some of the actual soldiers portryed in the show speaking at the beggining, if you liked bob you will sure like the pacific
