      True for the story, but not an actual event. The ambush at the crossroads that scene is meant to represent was nothing like this depiction. The rest of this episode is very true to reality; that ambush is 95% creative license.

      the true story is Guarnere didn't even have a weapon during the real ambush which also took place at a T - intersection, but he did pick up 2 P-38 Pistols which he used later in another ambush along with an incident which earned him his nickname "Wild Bill" that never was in any of the books or series.

    The true story from Malarky himself about the German POW. It's sorta long but well worth it.
    The German even admits he made a mistake coming back to Germany.
    “Where the hell are you guys from, Brooklyn?” asked some wise guy in our company.
    “No, Portland, Oregon,” said a German master sergeant, just off my shoulder.
    What? I couldn’t believe it-that the guy not only spoke perfect English, but said he was from Portland (not Eugene, as the HBO miniseries Band of Brothers showed him saying, for reasons beyond me).
    “No kidding, Portland?” I said eagerly. “I’m from Astoria.”
    The company walked on. I hung back, amazed at this coincidence.
    “I worked in Portland until 1938,” he said, “and came home when Hitler called all loyal Germans to return to the fatherland.”
    “So where’d you work in Portland?” I asked.
    “Schmitz Steel Company.”
    “You gotta be kidding,” I said. “The owners of that company were friends of my family. And I worked for Monarch Forge and Machine Works right across the street.”
    By now, a few of my fellow soldiers passing by were giving me the eye.
    “Well now, what do you think about that decision now to return to your homeland?” I asked, scanning his POW pals around him.
    “I think I made a big mistake,” he said.
    “Malark, let’s go,” yelled Guarnere, peeved that I was fraternizing with the enemy.
    I nodded at the soldier. “You take care,” I said, and walked on.

    The reason the allied planes had the 3 white stripes on each wing was due to the airborne's experience in Sicily in 1943. Anti-aircraft guns on board coastal ships mistaken their own planes for the enemy. They shot down over 20 of their own planes carrying paratroopers. It was a horrible case of friendly fire.

    I was in E/506th Reenacted back 90's got to met and know the Real men of Easy- 1:16 mark I was there when we gave XXX the E/ 506 guidon (Flag) on the wall behind him, got to meet him many times and his wife he was always so much fun to listen too. i have flown in Whisky 7 (W7) the C47 that was the lead plane for the 2nd wave for the 82nd we had the door on so it was warm and not too noisy inside. The troopers would also be wearing their Wool uniform under their jump uniform so they were warm. 3:49 mark thats LT Meehan's plane crash there is now a monument in that spot honoring all those on that plane, 6:56 mark Officers were issued escape kits which they then hid the items in their uniforms (map, compass, saw, ect)
    7:51 mark - SO the ambush scene is wrong - there were 3 ambushes that night. during the 1st Guarnere didn't have a weapon either during this ambush he took 2 P-38 Pistols off some dead Germans then he used those in a 2nd ambush later that morning , Were Guarnere earned the nickname "Wild Bill" then he picked up the Thompson SMG later. the Ambushes took place at a T intersection and they weren't even German troops but Georgian's Troops fighting in the service of Germany . having talked with XXX & XXXX that were there at those ambushes they were ok and understood why they had to portray it as shown for the show. Guarnere while in Normandy earned the nickname "Wild Bill" as he killed every German soldier for revenge of his brother (i had a drunk grunt too grunt talk with XXX on how Bill really earned it but i won't say here) oh you will come to like him lol 13:16 mark Yes Spier's did kill POW's BUT not as shown here, it did happen alot on both sides esp during the opening hours as there was an order "No Prisoners" many E co troopers also killed POW's on D-Day but some didn't fully trust Ambroes when he was doing the dook so they didn't say anything. I had the honor of being walked through this attack by a few who were there and it's dam close to how it was .aside from the trenches weren't that deep and t was closer to the buildings 17:04 mark he didn't fumble the grenade another trooper was moving behind him and knocked his arm making him drop it.
    Yes it was a stew made with rations and some items they found per XXX who was there

    Thank you for such and honest and respectful reaction. Your emotions said it all. For reference, the Allied armies stormed the Normandy beaches the morning of June 6. The night before, the 101st and 82nd Airborne were dropped behind enemy lines, in an effort to take out as much artillery as possible, before the beach landings. Throughout the war, airborne troops were dropped behind enemy lines. "Easy Company" was part of the 101st PIR (Parachute Infantry Division, 2nd Battalion " A thru I" Company., Platoon, and Squad! Hope that helps. Aultman, William T. SMSgt USAF (Ret)

    Its worth mentioning that the jump into normandy went far, far better than what was actually expected. They were dropped in essentially as a distraction to draw german attention away from the beaches and force the germans to commit forces to dealing with them. They suffered roughly 20% casualties in reality and command was fully expecting at least 70% casualties if not having to completely write them off. They were essentially committed with the expectation that they would be more or less sacrificed to make things easier for the beach landings. Not that any of the people jumping into normandy were told or knew this at the time for obvious reasons but it shows how vital they were and how committed they were, knowing something like that could happen when they signed up

    Great reaction Kate like always, 15:59 fun fact: Buck's handsignals to Malarkey and Guarnere were as such He signaled 1, 4, 2, and then 2, 5, with his fingers. Then a closed fist and pointed in the direction of the MG.
    Translated: "1 MG42, 25 Feet, throw grenades that way." An MG42 is a preferred machine gun that the German army used. The 25 feet was helpful for Malarkey and Guarnere to gauge how far they needed to throw the grenades. (BTW there was no hand signals in ww2, The real soldiers stated that there were no hand signals. They were a post WW2 thing introduced into the show by Dale Dye.)
    I remember reading a book called "Geronimo" based on the Airborne troops of WW2, and it has a section from the German side of D-Day. It talk about how soldiers patrolling noticed an abnormal amount of frogs and crickets during the night. What they actually heard was the cheap toy clicker you see in Lt. Winters hand. It shows you how close some of these guys were to the enemy.
    The show actually underplayed the battle for the guns due to time and dramatic constraints. The fighting lasted about 3-4 hours and there were something like 50-100 German defenders. The paratroopers were at constant risk of being flanked and annihilated. Winter's tactics kept the enemy confused and dispersed and many feel that he should have received the Medal of Honor for his actions there rather than "just" the Distinguished Service Cross.
    We often forget how completely foreign the rest of the world was to this generation. In our modern times we have the internet and easy access to travel the world; back then travel was much less frequent and information was mainly supplied through newspapers and some tv news.... just crazy thought to consider these young kids traveling to completely strange lands to fight a virtually unknown enemy. Thanks to all vets out there, from back then to present day, thanks for your service! Keep up the good work.

    Basic paratroop strategy: drop behind enemy lines capture whatever objective planned (usually, but not always, a bridge or town where roads meet) then your forces catch up to them and all is hunky'dory. Problem is, if your forces don't win elsewhere you have light infantry that is surrounded and they have only the supplies they carried with them. They can't very well take prisoners. And you probably over estimate tanks. It's OK, everyone does, even them. ruclips.net/video/taHFUKKKmJM/видео.htmlsi=88KitHMIrDHfliKn 13:24 training film on facing tank Oh, if I hadn't told you, minor spoiler, have a blanket n studio. 1 future episode- I won't say which- can make the suggestable feel cold.

    The only way they had to 'cope' with the situation ('seeing death and then having to eat, and then sleeping') was to bury it all deep inside. The ultimate danger of doing that is that it all has to come out, sometime or another, sooner or later. Most of the men suffered after the war with what was called 'shell shock', and now is called 'PTSD'. And still, to this very day, everyone has to deal with it in their own way at their own time, and only the strongest with the best support system and the will of God, come through it in good shape, but none come through it unscathed.

    I’m keeping this purposely vague to avoid spoilers, but one of the books written by one of the veterans told the story of Malarkey and the prisoner. They didn’t meet until D+3, so the prisoner was not on the business end of Lt Speirs’ Thompson.
    Lt Compton lost his equipment with his leg bag on the jump, so he had to scrounge a weapon. The Thompson he picked up from a wounded paratrooper had a broken firing pin, but he didn’t know that until the attack on the guns which is why you see him using so many grenades. He was a catcher for UCLA before the war, so he had a really good arm.

    The producers changed and condensed Malarkey meeting the person he knew. In reality, he had been a neighbor, not 100 miles away. Also, he had met him on D Day +3 or 4. Not in the first 24 hrs.
    Spiers was a cold blooded killer, no doubt about it. So much so, he almost didn't come to the Premier in Nomandy because he thought there would be a chance he'd get arrested for war crimes.
    That said, Sink and higher command didn't want them to take prisnors those first 24 hrs or so simply because they didn't have the man power or resources to deal with them. Also, it's important to remember this concept of parachute infantry was new, and original estimates had the paratroopers losing 80% of their men. Obviously, losses weren't that high, but it does give a window into the thinking of why they were told not to take prisnors.

    I think the most impactful point in the scene with the German prisoners of war was to begin showing us how even the "good guys" in the war could and did engage in what were essentially war crimes. Those soldiers had surrendered or were otherwise captured, not active. You're not supposed to just shoot prisoners.
    The bit with the American whose family had moved to Germany to support the N*zi regime seems like a fairly rare thing that nevertheless actually happened to Malarkey in real life, so they included it. I don't know how common it was for German-Americans to actually move to Germany in order to SUPPORT the N*azi regime. But it probably shouldn't surprise us that at least a few actually did that.

      @@LippsReacts I definitely think that the whole scene is supposed to show how war is morally complicated -- especially when it's two enemy foot soldiers who accidentally run across each other and happen to realize they have a lot in common.
      Rules of war, which are often referred to as "The Geneva Convention" are also interesting. In some ways it seems bizarre to set rules for how armies are allowed to behave when they are wholesale killing each other. But there are incentives for every side in a war for everyone to agree to certain ground rules. If you treat surrendered soldiers with a very basic decency, it's an encouragement for people to actually consider giving up when they are losing, rather than fighting to the death no matter what. Also, it makes it more likely that YOUR soldiers will be better treated when the enemy captures them. Of course, as we see here, those rules aren't always respected. But there is more to them than just being kind.

      @@apulrang According to the findings of a German historian Peter Lieb, many Canadian and American units were given direct orders on D-Day to take no prisoners. If true, that might help explain the mystery of how only 66 of the 130 Germans taken prisoner on Omaha Beach made it to captured collecting points. Its a cruel fact that processing any surrendered German soldiers would have slowed down the Allies advance and for the first 24 to 48 hours the forward momentum had to be maintained.

    Hello Ms Lipps, I hope you are having a Merry Blessed Christmas!!! The conversation between Malarkey and the German soldier is unique not only for it's human connection but because the German soldier was American born, him and Malarkey are from Oregon. The soldiers family moved back to Germany to answer the patriotic call. I was worried for you, you kept grasping your chest almost like an anxiety attack. The war genre took a big step in the late 90s, when Spielberg directed Saving Private Ryan, and changed the way war is filmed. The war genre in my opinion is probably the most human of all, it show the bad, the good, and the horror of humanity. I hope that this series doesn't scare you away from amazing films and series. Well take care and God bless you and your family... Merry Christmas!!!!

    Flash and Thunder were the challenge and response words for D-Day. Saving Private Ryan got it wrong, reversing the words. Thunder was the reply because the German language pronounces the TH like a hard T, as in test. The words were changed the next day, so would not have been the same in Carentan days later.

      The scene showing Spiers shooting the prisoners appears to be spraying .45 caliber bullets into the legs of the prisoners. If that was actually the case, then it was a more humane treatment rather than killing them. Of course this may have been a quirk in the production of the film. Other than firmly tying each soldier to a tree, perhaps cutting the prisoners achilles tendon would suffice to take them out of action and not require any resources to guard them in the first 24-hours.

    Because of crosswinds and other factors, few paratroopers land where they're supposed to in an airborne drop.

      I’d imagine so. Makes sense why they were all supposed to learn the sand tables. Feels like a healthy dose of imitative and knowledge goes a long way for a soldier

    Great reaction, young lady. There are so many amazing things about this series, but the one thing that will stay with you is the price paid by our greatest generation to help save the world from tyranny. Enjoy the ride. Looking forward to the next one. CURRAHEE.

    13,000 men fall out of midnight on top of the German Army. It doesn't go well for the Germans.

    They were not supposed to take prisoners the first day, not enough extra men to guard them.

    I'm kinda confused by your confusion with the Malarky scene. You're not supposed to shoot prisoners, although all sides did it (for logistical reasons, retribution) - it's a war crime. And at the end of the day, people are still people. Many of them were just kids who didn't want to be there, though sure many were also die hard Nazis etc. There's no one answer. The Allies were much less likely to treat you well or be friendly if you were SS - the paramilitary wing of the Nazi party. Unlike the Eastern Front, which was a genocidal war, there was general respect in a military sense between the Americans/Brits/Canadians and the Germans in both directions.

      To be fair, I don’t know the rules of war. Stopping to converse with a Nazi soldier felt so odd to me. It just felt like this long moment of peace and kindness amongst the war and gunfire of it all that felt jarring. But also felt human and made my heart ache.

      Don’t forget that General Taylor was the man who ordered the shooting of prisoners, they had no logistics to hold, or rear to send them back too because the beaches weren’t secured. Spiers didn’t shoot them outta no reason.
