- The last Band of Brothers Actors Reunion for the World War II foundation was held in Normandy, 2019. Once more a number of actors came to Normandy to experience the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings and to meet the fans on a number of occasion. In this video you can see some of the behind the scenes footage I shot when helping out as a volunteer.
Listen to Captain Dale Dye as he talks about the Brecourt Manor gun battery battle and later as he describes the actions that will be immortalized in his next war movie "No Better Place to Die", the battle at La Fiere bridge.
Then the boys having some fun at the Normandy Tank museum and finally we end of a serious note, the wreath laying at the Dick Winters Leadership Memorial.

It is amazing to watch Dale Dye go to work. As a former Forward Observer (FO) during my 2nd Lt days 34 years ago, he explains the science of artillery as if he were fresh out of artillery school. God bless you, Dale! Semper Fi.
adjust fire polar over
shot over
Except for he explained how the aiming stakes are placed
He knows shit but has the gift of gab. A 105 has 7 charge bags, The method of calling in fire is probably what they teach infantry. The best way was for the observer to indicate the grid reference of the target to the command post at the gun line where the geometry is calculated to fire an adjusting round.
Love my moter guys 11b here
A sign of the greatness of Dale Dye: he’s always teaching.
Dale Dye never dies. Heroically ressurecting always in the next war movie.
Imagine having Dale Dye as your tour guide. Wow.
And half of them looked bored..
Nice
@@DSToNe19and83 How do they look bored?
You think they'd be there if they thought it would be boring?
A question? My grandpa was a Marine Ww2 veteran and as I live in Sweden (My mum is Swedish) I received a box with stuff my grandpa collected and sent home to the US during the war. I discovered that among many "souvenirs" , one Grenade (disarmed) and a fully functional Mauser K-98 with a scope (AND a box with rounds) happened to be shipped to Stockholm, Sweden and it GOT THROUGH the Swedish custom unit????
We have to have a license for fully functional weapons here and now I dont know how to deal with it? Should I shut up and take it to our northern Sweden cabin? Or?
I love how invested Eion Bailey is here. You can tell that he’s hanging on every word that Capt. Dye is saying.
You can tell them actors have got a life long brotherhood aswel now
Capt.Dye has that unique ability to take his technical knowledge and expertise, and translate it into layman's terms that anyone can understand.
Glad to see Webster made it back from his fishing trip
lol
Maj dale Dye is the reason we have any realisim in these movies. God bless.
Dale Dye is so sharp. Absolute treasure
I can listen to Captain Dye talk history all day. Good stuff!
I could listen to Dale Dye for hours and hours
I was an avid reader of Soldier of Fortune and when Dale Dye retired from the USMC in 84 or 85, he became the editor of that magazine- that's the first time he came to my notice. Later I found out that he was described in the Michael Herr memoir "Dispaches", which I had read by then but didn't make the connection until years later.
Not long after he came to prominence as having run the "boot camp" for the actors in Platoon.
When he appears in a movie you can rest assured he's the real thing.
We were in Normandy at that time also for D-day 75! We were on Utah beach for the ceremony on June 6, 2019. When they played the American national anthem our whole grandstand of Americans stood, covered our hearts and sang as loudly as we could! The whole crowd turned to watch, even the cameras recording the event! We all had tears in our eyes!!!!
Those moment will be with you for the rest of your life.
The Battlefield Explorer I believe our tour bus drove by the Winters monument while the ceremony was going on!... thanks for bringing back great memories!!! I remember we were hoping to run into each other while we were there... I guess we came close!!! We did meet Captain Dye in San Mere Eglise!
I can’t imagine how amazing that must have been like.
@@moonglow630 you could tour Normandy in your own, there’s plenty of maps and books about the area. If WWII history is important to you it’s a trip of a lifetime!
@@bobsbarnworkshop it’s on my list.
What a gift the actors that got jobs on this series were given. Seems they made life long friendships, and got an insight into what it was to be the greatest generation.
Dale Dye is such a Legend. He worked on metal of honor frontline, in the behind the scenes he was with them in the good day to dye paintball extra lol
10:13 The charge across La Fiere causeway into heavy German fire was considered suicidal, so much so that the original CO refused to lead it. The 325th GIR was selected to go first. My cousin was in the lead company, one of the first soldiers to make it across the La Fiere causeway alive on June 9, 1944. He was later killed in action that September in Holland. Rest in peace Noah Forsyth, 325th Glider Infantry Regiment.
Capt Dale Dye is a treasure
My favorite war movie. I can watch it over and over and not get tired of it.
I could listen to Capt Dye for hours!
D.O.P.E is an acronym - Data On Previous Engagements. The military loves their acronyms.
TCD. IOFIC.
I would guess that all the 101st soldiers depicted in Band of Brothers are all gone. God rest their souls and thank you for their sacrifice to preserve the freedoms that many young people today don’t appreciate.
Omg Capt Dye is one hell of a tour guide.
my brother and I went there in January a few years back, and the conditions were just the same in 44, the fields were all flooded around the bridge, that bridge battle is what the final scene of private ryan is supposed to show
I was part of the 4th Infantry Division contingent that helped commemorate the 50th Anniversary in 1994. It was a humbling and eye opening experience as an Infantryman.
Ike was once quoted as saying the four things that did more to win, were the Jeep, the Duece and a Half Truck, the bulldozer, and the C 47. None had a gun. They were all about mobility and logistics.
I could listen to these stories all day.
19:02 Hearing Cpt. Dye mention the 325th brings back some serious memories. In the early 1980s I was a member of the 3/325th Airborne Battalion Combat Team in Vicenza, Italy, which was the 325th Glider Infantry Regiment in WWII. Our unit was the reinforcement he mentions. Every year, on the evening of June 6th we would begin the march from St. Mare Eglise to the La Fiere bridge as part of the memorial. Probably the most profound moments of my military career because you knew what took place there and what the march represented.
I was in Normandy for the 74th anniversary. I would love to go back and do the Band Of Brothers tour. It's a multi day event taking you to all the spots Easy Company campaigned and highlighted in the series. Hearing taps and seeing those monuments still bring tears to my eyes.
Dale Dye is a treasure!
This show was so powerful to the actors that they are holding reunions still. Amazing! I hope Masters of the Air is similar in impact.
Indeed this show the band of brothers is a cultural icon from the 2000s
It is so amazing seeing all these familiar faces. Wow. I'm so jealous they got to do this with Captain Dye! They did such amazing work in BOB that they absolutely deserved this moment. Thank you so much for posting this.
I always feel reunions are and can be so sad, especially the ones very late in life. Anyone else feel like skipping reunions so people remember you as you were in the prime of your life provides a little solace?
I think it depends on the bond you had with the people you are reuniting with. If it was strong and the event or time was pivotal to you then when you reunite you are with people who share something with you no one else can really understand. That can be bittersweet but not sad.
Never knew he was so funny! He always seems so serious and intimidating
Love the Band of Brothers actors!
Best war movie ever. No contest.
Dale Dye lost me at "Simple Trigonometry." When you get as effected by the reunion of the actors portraying actual soldiers. They damn well did something right. Currahee! ♠
The show band brothers brought the reality of how long these men stayed on the line, and the people and their lives for our country.
Dad was an 8” battery commander. He used to tell me about surveying the aiming stakes, etc.
I believe it was the 20th anniversary of the D-Day landings that Walter Cronkite interviewed General Eisenhower about his thoughts on the landings at that time. It was an emotional and moving interview and I wish they would replay it every year. The young people of today need to hear it and learn from those who were there. While General Eisenhower was not part of the invasion, he was the one who gave the order to proceed. From the tone of his voice in the interview, you could sense that it was a gut-wrenching order that he gave that day. He knew that thousands of those young men that he sent into battle would not survive that day, and it was still haunting him 20 years later.
I’d like to see that. We never seem to talk about Eisenhower, even though he was President and a General in WW2. I’ve just started wondering more about him.

Superb Jori
Cpt Dale Dye really is a top guy! Love this.
Oh yea see you in April!
Dale dye is an amazing person and vet and super knowledgeable. Great video. Thanks for posting
What a great discussion with Dale Dye. Glad I clicked on this!
Superb visited Normandy a few years ago. Sobering and proud experience.
Man how am I only seeing this now? Quality content!
Dale Dyer can sure tell a story. 🤗
He’s eating up the attention.
Indeed he is awesome
I can listen to these stories all day
Would have loved to be the in person to listen and watch Dale Dye. What an amazing person!!
It would be a dream to do the Band of Brothers tour with Captian Dale Dye
77 year old Dale Dye could still whoop my 35 year old ass any day if the week. What a legend
I love Captain Dye's outbursts 😅
Dye knows his stuff for an old guy. I was a Navy Flight Officer in the 80's and I struggle to remember basic navigation theory. I'm also lost finding the bathroom at times soo...
How cool is this - I was watching this whilst BoB ep5 appeared on tv. Wow
That was awesome!! Thank you!
12:13 hahaha priceless!! i agree with dale! thanks for not editing it out
Fascinating to hear all the little details about the assault on Brecourt Manor. It’s one thing to watch the recreation in BoB but this puts another perspective on it.
5 years ago already...crazy.
So interesting im going have to jump the channel an go on one of these tours
Great explanation by Dale Dye!!
Dye hitting his vape in the first few seconds is killing me
Wow, what an experience that must have been to go on that tour! I'd be so damm starstruck I would just stand there like Jackie Gleason going hamana hamana hamana!
Indeed same here 😂
My late husband would have loved this. BOBrothers has become a college seminar! BOB fraternity!
This is the first time I've heard about the Cow Nazis in Normandy. You learn something new every day, I guess.
This is so beautiful ❤️
Before I die I want to go to Normandy/Bastone just to see and really get a feel of what these men went thru.
This is like a masterclass in swearing.
Fantastic.
any other video similar with Dale Dye doing tour explanation like this ? truly amazing
That ending was beautiful. What a glorious way to pay respects to such an honorable solider. Rip Major Winters, you earned everything you fought for. As a proud American, I Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Dale Dye tells the story. Does anyone contradict Dale? The what is what he said, The who and what sections needs to be filled in. Great post and part of the history. Those guys so lucky to be with Dale Dye.
I talked to Dale years ago, and he pretty much studies and studies and studies books in his very substantial military library at home…..it’s all about the books according to Dale. I was a Forward Observer and he explained it perfectly.
I hope some of them will be their next year for the 80th year anniversary!
Brilliant.
i hate that war memorial/remembrance footage is always so sad. remember those boys fighting were very young men, they were all full of life and camaraderie. they always deserve celebration imo
LOVE HIM
THANKS FOR THE MOST AMAZIGN SACRIFICE THAT A HUMAN BEEN CAN DO
Or at least the best fake sacrifice that reenacts the real one
And this year, from what im hearing, a couple of these guys are going through US Army Jump Training, so they can, for the first time ever, do a true parachute jump, out of a C-47. Only thing that would make this better, is if a select few of today's 101st members could join them. Fulfilling their unit's proud history. ❤
its been nearly 20 years then & having hard time each of the B.O.B. actors recognizibg them because wearing sunglasses, hats & they aged.
Should be a longer version of the tv series
What a beautiful chateau! The War must have be horrible for that family. A nightmare!
Where can we get the full video of dale talking about the battle with the Germans. It was cut short!
As a former Mortarman I can confirm that what he said about Artillery is correct.
Asa former artilleryman I say bullshit.
@@davedowling8469 what's bullshit?
NOOOO I wanted to hear how the story ended! Guy was firing his M1 down at the Germans and then what? :(((
My only gripe about this video is you cutting Dale Dye off right in the middle of an epic story!
Yeah it happened way too many times
Ex arty cannon cocker here ‘74-‘78. All coming back to me now.
Cub Scouts, 6th Pack Westside 70-75 OVER HERE!!! DYB DYB DOB DOB DOOOOOO
NAILS IT!!!!!
Completely over the top: an actors reunion. 😂😂😂
Dope is also what they called the material for WW1 planes, like a lacquer they treated the fabric of the skins with.
We're any of the persons laying the flowers at the Major Winters Memorial related to him?
The only people I recognize are the actors who played Colonel Sink (Dale Dye), Pvt. Webb ( Eion Bailey) , Perconte (James Madio) and Sgt. Grant (Nolan Hemmings) any others?
Am I mistaken or is that Eion Bailey (plays Webster) in the hat and brown jacket on the tour? That is super cool if so.
Pretty certain you're correct and so far he's the only actor I recognize at all.
Yes and i think the guy in the red shirt is Heffron (don't know real name)
Shifty, heffron
I have seen this series dozens of times and only recognize 2 or 3 of the actors. ???
Dale is absolutely amazing...RANDOM question...anyone know what kind of watch he is wearing??? It is pretty badass!!!
Luminox 3000 series?
Maybe a 3051.
@@ericmatteson7844 No...don't think so...his is much bigger than that... I have a Luminox
I think that geezer in the back round is doing his best to get a snap of this fellas bald spot
Cool
My friend any Biggio from Winthrop mass does these tours
Artillery process is alllllll digital now.
Very true. When I was BC in 2004-05, our computation method in the FDC was digital using AFATDS, but our old school FDC chief was still using "darts and charts" as our back up. I was at gunnery school in Ft. Sill in 1987, we were taught gunnery comps using BCS, BUCS, and manual gunnery, but manual was only taught by Marine artillery instructors to us Marine lieutenants. The dog faces were only taught digital. I am pretty sure even the Marines no longer teach manual gunnery, which totally sucks because when we, as 14th Marines Regt (Artillery) did our first regimental firex in 5 years at Ft. Sill in the summer of 2014, it took over a day before we were firing live rounds waiting on clearance to use satellite bandwidth to synch with our digital systems. What a bunch of sh*t! If we were cleared to use manual gunnery, we'd have been firing in five minutes. The Chinese won't wait all day for us to get our finicky little digital systems set up before they pulverize us with rocket artillery, but hey, no worries, America. We got your back.
@@breadwineandsong4014 Absolutely spot on!! The Army wants to field a 2.5lb scope for the new service rifle, one that can do all kinds of crazy ballistic calculations. What if the battery runs out in the middle of a firefight? What if the scope get hits by enemy fire? What then?
How about more range time for these troops, rather than relying on overly-heavy optics that are bound to fail at the worst possible moment?
wish all my tour guides were from #BandOfBrothers 😐
Was the Captain vaping in the beginning?
Yes
Is that the ACTUAL Brecourt Manor at the start?!?!?!?!!??!??!?!!
Yes
