Hard to believe he has been gone for almost 14 years and with him the greatest generation. Miss them
My grandfather would be 103. Missing him dearly, loved his stories from Army Air Force service as an avionics instrumentation specialist in the Carolinas during WW2.
@@warrenharrison9490 my folks were all in the war. When they were alive, the war seemed like yesterday. Ever present anytime we were together, I would listen to them for hours. The last one has been gone for 4 years only and yet the WW2 seems so far and distant now, no different than WW1 or any other war. Strange.
Key things in history I remember exactly where I was at. Challenger, 9/11, Columbia and the news of Major Winter's death.
It’s very sad. I got to meet him when I was a kid and got to see Guarnere and Babe every year up until 2011 at events in the Philadelphia area. I remember his memorial in Hershey when he passed and the amount of people who came to pay their respects was just beautiful. So many of these great men probably wouldn’t even recognize the world and its issues today…
Incredible man he was. I wish I could’ve met him when he was still with us. I could’ve sat around for hours listening to his stories and asked him how life was for him in the later 40s and throughout the 50s. Thanks Erik for another great upload of this legend.
What a treat hearing Dick Winter's recounting stripped of the Hollywood version.
Glad that we could share it.
As much as I love band of brothers, hearing the major talk about his experiences during the show plays makes it even more amazing. Nice work guys 👏🏼
A special treat for today, thank you for posting this.
I probably see something pop up on my feed about dick winters everyday, and most of the time it’s either old or a repackaged video. So this is truly a rare gem, thank you!
It is Dick Winters that finally put me to full knowlege enjoy this life as much as you can; for when you are dead the spark will die; only memories will keep your life moving..... I have told many how many times have you thought of Dick Winters after the show was seen. I haven't is the answer so moving forward if you want memory write a book.
Perfect for Thanks Giving weekend, this was a man all men should strive to be.
These men are the greatest generation that we will ever see. It's so sad how far our country and livelihoods have fallen. God Bless these men, they will never be forgotten.
Wow dude, this is absolutely amazing content! I'm lost for words about how important this is to not only the youtube viewers, but mankind. We all can learn so much from the not so distant past. Thank you, thank you, thank you for letting us be part of this journey you are on!
Just started watching. Whoever put this together did a great job. I really enjoyed it.
Thankyou Eric for this I have always had so many questions and now a lot are answered and to hear this man's voice explaining it is too a wonderful treat. I'm sure like many people it's a wish to have met the man and this is as best can be hoped for so from me God bless you for your constant enthusiasm!

Bless you for this showing this incredible footage, after drying my eyes it made me think about how we must never forget these guys or the tyrannical ideology they were fighting. History illuminates the present.
Damn RUclips for censoring history. I've never before watched a video this long. I'll probably watch it again.
Thank you so much for sharing this…. Incredible
I was fortunate enough to meet major winters and shifty powers who attended my ranger school graduation at fort benning. Very nice guys.
This is outstanding. This is a show I continue to watch every year and this new commentary adds so much insight and is absolutely perfect.
I can see why this gave the copyright algorithms such a nervous breakdown. Thank you so much for getting this out to us, it really is a fantastic resource.
Still demonetized but we rolled with it anyway.
JD thank you for what you do, your channel is so educational. Thank you, thank you!!!
Thank you for sharing this major dick winters was a very good leader and a very special man thank you to the men of the greatest generation and all they did for this country their country great men and not many are left giving thanks to them and all our military for my freedom and the scarefices they had to endure
Very moving video that tugs at the heartstrings. Thank you for sharing with us.
Very interesting.
This is great. Thanks for the great content!
I have enjoyed this! Thank you for sharing this.
I've been waiting a long time for this. Thank you for sharing.
What a surprise! On a related note I really want to read Hang Tough.
Great book!
What an absolute hero this guy was, thank you sir,thank you America
I could listen to Major Winters for hours- even if he said the same word over and over.
A true American. This is great..🇺🇲
Thanks for all the wonderful videos both you do. One day l want to visit your museums.😊
This is amazing to see! Thank you for posting!
My brother and I as little kids watched band of brothers on repeat. Bought the Junior uniforms from At the Front and had Airsoft guns to play in the yard.
I remember that my mom had basically been somber about it that he had passed away.
It’s so strange how a person we as kids never met, but had read about, watched shows about was such an iconic figure as children…
Now as a father myself, Richard Winters will be a legend in our household. Calm, cool, and collected.
Were these men the greatest generation? Without question, yes they were.
Oh my! So very, VERY, cool Recondo! Kudos to all of you. ♥
What a treasure to have in your archive. Thanks for sharing.
Nice, rest eazy hero 🙏
Amazing
MY Hero
Awesome episode,well done.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Good bless American soldiers
Excellent video. Thank you for sharing. Left me a little speechless.
Never seen this. Thanks.
Since they got something so easily to track wrong, like what happened to Albert Blithe, I wonder how much of the show is completely wrong. Blithe didn't die in 1948 from the wound he never recovered from . He actually stayed in the military, fought in Korea, and died in 1967. You would think they would have looked up military records for a show about the military.
Sobel was respected by his men and some scenes were changed to make him the villain. The channel "History vs. Hollywood" has two videos talking about it
We miss you Winters! RIP
Excellent presentation!
Excellent video of a bunch of heroes led by one. Just a side note, my father was there when they liberated the camp there and once told me you could smell that camp from miles away before they ever got to it. I have photos he took from the camp showing the horror of it
Wow thank you for posting this 🙏

Really enjoyed I am big fan of magor dick winters
There is so much more to WWII than Winters and Band of Brothers. While grateful for their service, it'd be great to see other topics covered.
Yes. That’s why I cover a wide range of topics on this channel. Hurtgen Forest, Saipan, Guam, Tinian, the British in Normandy, the Canadians in Normandy, Pearl Harbor, battleships, submarines, a tug boat, etc etc.
Are you new here?
They often touch on BOB because as far as a collective goes, that's a group of guys most people know of.
The Gettysburg Museum has a fair collection of BOB artifacts.
These guys are often honored on this channel, but there's so much more to this channel.
JD has interviewed and traveled with other vets. I don't see why your comment was necessary.
@@megancrager4397 Been here a long time, and I agree they have covered terrific amounts of content. They have just covered BoB and Dick plenty.
Currahee!!! Rest in Peace Brothers!
It’s so nice to hear Major Winters speak so highly of Ambrose. I get so sick of the armchair amateur historians try to impugn the character of Ambrose about “inaccuracies” in BoB. I knew Ambrose. He was a good man and a man of integrity. He doesn’t deserve to be criticized and impugned when he is no longer here to defend his work. These amateur historians clowns with the benefit of 35 years of hindsight need to stop trying to rewrite history.
what a treasure
💛💛💛
I just have a general question for anyone and everyone. Does anyone know of my grandfather , SGT Robert, Bob , O. Beerman of WWII ? He was a photographer by trade and was deployed to North Africa in July of 1943 I believe , for Arial Reconnaissance. We have several of his photographs from there and Europe. We also have the original teletype order for him and another photographer to report to England in preparation for Operation Overlord. IDK , I am just hoping that he is actually credited for his service.
Greatest Generation 🇺🇲🫡
JD and Erik, can we buy this DVD?
❤
While I have no doubt Winters was a very good leader, having seen countless accounts of E Co. and reading his book, I believe Ambrose stroked Winters ego which was huge. They both did.
The book was chock full of inaccuracies and played up Winters as winning the war single-handedly.
The movie series was a Hollywood interpretation of an inaccurate book, and portrayed E Co. the way a Hollywood producer thought would be exciting and entertaining. BoB was NOT a documentary by any means. Just a movie. Ambrose book was NOT a documentary by any means. Just a book.
WOW
Just think if Dick Winters were President.
What happened to "Bull" at the end is an 🇺🇸 Shame..😮 Greatest Generation ☝️
Rare? Has a WW2 soldier been interviewed more?
He’s commenting on scenes from the show while watching them. Show me another place where we can see that.
Geez, why are those many bitter people coming out of the peanut gallery 🤦🏼♀️
Don't watch it if you don't like it. The least you can do is appreciate the guys made something rare available for 🆓️
Dick Winters is lying about Spiers killing the sergeant and about killing the Germans after giving them cigarettes and Winters knew better. Spiers killed the sergeant for being drunk and pointing his rifle at him, Spiers like many other paratroopers killed Germans who were in the process of surrendering because they were told not to take prisoners due to the fact that they had no way to deal with them and they would slow them down from getting to their objectives but he never killed German soldiers who were already surrendered and disarmed. Art Dimarzio was in dog company who served under spiers and was present at all those events. DiMarzio said spiers never gave germans cigarettes and then gunned them down. DiMarzio said another officer shot a bunch of german prisoners in the legs because they were laughing at them and DiMarzio himself gunned them down himself and didnt say that Spiers was even there. Winters lies about a lot of things in his stories and its a shame that Ambrose, Hanks, and Spielberg took the majority of their "history" from Winters and discounted a lot of the other men whos stories contradicted Winters because they wanted to kiss Winters butt.

It's a shame Dick Winters was such an ego maniac when it came to dealing with Stephen Ambrose and when it came time to make Band of Brothers. There was so much stuff put in the book and the series and stuff left out about certain members of the 101st and Easy company. Band of Brothers was Dick Winters and Stephen Ambrose version of East Company and their opinions of certain members but it definitely wasn't accurate history. The War and Truth channel discusses a lot of the BS Winters and Ambrose did that were shady. Winters made sure his version of the events and the character of the men were the versions told and nothing that would criticize his version of events was allowed to find it's way to the book or to the mini series.
That channel is also biased.
I'd fault Ambrose over Winters. He is the ine that decided the final product of his book.
I fail to see any egomania from Winters in anything I've seen.
Winters was a peaceful old man I think in a way he just wanted Ambrose to depict the events in his miniseries based on the actual events he described in the early 90s and anything after that he just kinda winged it so the Hollywood folks wouldn’t get upset by what really happened (hence the speirs situation and running back because col sink called him) he knew the truth obviously but he didn’t want to upset anybody. What I find the most interesting is the detailed version of the brecourt manner assault. That was interesting to hear.
@@johnappleseed9290where’s the detailed version at. Winters was also (from my understanding) one of the only ones to keep documents notes and so much more eta eta so yeah obv it’s his story mostly he wanted to keep the story of his men alive and it was up to him to do it ofc it biased in however which way….
