    Don't forget that Guarniere found out that his brother had been killed in Italy...he was full of rage when he got to Normandy. The best part about that whole event was that Winters was smart enough not to hold it against Guarniere...all he did was remind him of his duty and his job, and he trusted Guarniere to get his act together, instead of pressing charges for insubordination as some officers might have done. Winters really was an amazingly good leader and commander. ✌

      This HBO series was based on the book 'Band of Brothers' - written by Stephen E. Ambrose. In the book, it was explained in more detail why Lt. Winters was quite upset at Sgt. Guarnere. When Guarnere started shooting early, some of the german soldiers in the last wagon(s) escaped. Winters thought that if his soldiers had waited for his command they would of gotten all the German soldiers. The book is a good read and after reading it, some (mostly minor) differences between the book and the tv series become apparent. Producers of the show have explained why they chose to change some of the incidents described in the book for the tv series.

    • @JB-bv1rg
      @JB-bv1rg 3 года назад +2

      The 'Band of Brothers' book was also the inspiration for the story told in the movie "Saving Private Ryan". Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks were both executive producers for the HBO series. [Tom Hanks son Colin has a small part in the Last Patrol episode] There are a few paragraphs in the book that talked about Frederick 'Fritz' Niland and his brothers. Fritz was close friends with Warren Muck and Donald Malarkey of easy company. Steven Spielberg's 1998 film Saving Private Ryan is loosely based on the Niland brothers' story.

    Fun fact: Acording to FJR6’s regimental book(The Lions of Carentan) the Germans actually did stop firing at malarkey when he went to go get the Luger, they actually did think he was a medic and several FJR6 men wrote about it post war.
    Ps FJR6 is Fallschirmjager Regiment 6, German paratroopers, which were at Brecourt and Carentan. They along with a foreign regiment were the German central reserve for Normandy for the first week after the US Paratroops landed.
    The troopers in FJR6 were veterans of Russia and Italy, very heavily armed because of them augmenting Italian weaponry seized after they surrendered in 1943, mainly machine guns and the majority of them were MG42s, heavy complimented for a regiment, they fielded 4 battalions instead of the usual 3 during Normandy. They were very very well trained as well. One of the last(if not the last)fully parachute ready regiments in the entire German military from about 1943 to the collapse in 45. They made one last combat jump during the bulge but got mauled when things went awry for them. After December-January 44/45 they ceased to be a combat unit almost entirely.
    They also had a Dachshund mascot named Sepp and he made combat jumps with the regiment and did attend the one during the bulge. Not sure if he survived or not.

Anyways, the pilots didn't have a problem with not knowing what flak was, in fact they were all very trained on how to avoid flak as it was primary risk of being in the sky over Normandy considering the air force had already achieved full air superiority and the Luftwaffe wasn't something to really worry about. However they were told to not take any evasive action at all in order to not disrupt the drop zones. The reason the drops were so scattered was because it was the first airborne assault in US history, and it was a lot more unorganized than you may think. The c47s were all over weighted and hard to fly, more than 60% of the planes didn't have navigators, the transponders used to guide c47s to drop zones malfunctioned, and some drop zones being poorly marked or entirely unmarked didn't help. The c47s also came into adverse weather conditions where there was a thick cloud bank at entrance altitude(1500 ft) that obscured the entire western half of the peninsula with a thick ground fog over most of the drop zones, which caused many formations to drop their troops well above or below the drop parameters(700 ft) while going faster than the trained upon drop speed of 110 mph. This also caused multiple formations to have to do 2 to 3 passes over an area to search for a drop zone to finally get troops out the door. So no, they weren't untrained civilians that were scared and didn't know what they were doing and calling them such is disrespectful. They did their jobs as pilots and they did them very well considering all the obstacles they faced. Next time you try to present something as fact on the internet you should first do some research, because again, its disrespectful to the men that were there and did what they did, only to be called an untrained scared civilian. You also have misinformed all the people that read and believed your comment, who now go about their lives thinking c47 pilots were untrained civilians, likely sharing that with others as well.

    A few things about this chapter of Band of Brothers...Sgt. Lipton KNEW the guy that was asking for directions and lifted his head too high, Lipton saw that man get shot right in the forehead, it shook Lipton badly as you would expect...also, Lorraine, the "jeep jockey" was not a bad shot as portrayed here, he was actually one of the first to get a confirmed kill in this attack...the German 105mm cannons at Brecourt Manor were firing directly down on Utah beach, so this attack by Lt Winters and his men was crucial to helping that beachhead succeed.

    If you want a absolutely devastating movie on the other European front, Russian; watch Come and See. I recommend this to anyone interested in WWII. Partizans in Beloruss, Russia 1943. it is the only film made by the director. He said he had nothing left to give after it. Both Director and Cinematographer survived Stalingrad. Quite a bit more artistic than this masterpiece of a series. But live ammo, accurate WWII equipment, and excellent acting. Soviet Union heavily edited it and then banned it before release thinking it was just too visceral for survivors. Finally released in the late '80's under Glasnost, it is a portrait of war like no other. Please I implore you to watch this for posterity, of arguably the saviors of the world those incredibly brave Soviets.

    When the Army set up paratroops, they recognized they might get captured and that the Germans would immediately take anything that could be used for military purposes...it wasn't just weapons but also equipment such as radios and...compasses. So they did issue the troops with compasses BUT they gave the officers a 'backup." They had special fly buttons on their uniforms...you would unscrew the back of the button and there was a small compass in the button. That's why Winters is undoing his pants...he had lost his regular compass when his leg bag got lost so he used the button compass to orient the map to try and find out where they were. (The Germans did eventually catch on to the button thing and they checked them...so the military started making the buttons so they would unscrew in the opposite direction...instead of "righty/tighty, lefty/loosey" they reversed the screw patterns...when the Germans checked by trying to unscrew the buttons, they were actually tightening the screw instead of loosening it. The Allies had tons of these tricks, too many to list here.)

    For those of us who were paratroopers in the infantry (I served in A company 2/325 in the 82nd) we live with the knowledge that in 72 hours half of us will be dead or wounded and out of action. The saddest part of this series for me is when they jumped in Normandy the staff plane with the leadership was cut in half and they did not even get a chance to jump out so all were killed. We are willing to give our lives to keep Americans free. Please please consider the blood and lives that had been lost that everyone can have the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Do not let anyone convince you we need to give these rights up. I am now an 68 year old man with the body of a 110 year old in constant pain due to my serve to our wonderful country. I would do it again if I was young again. Please preserve our rights.

    It isn't artillery, it's anti aircraft guns firing shells at high altitude so they explode near the wings, and fuselage of the enemy planes. It's colloquially known as 'flak' and its as terrifying as you'd imagine. Also the reason lieutenant speirs gunned the Germans down, is that the airborne had orders not to take prisoners on dday. They had vital objectives to take out the enemy guns, and disrupt their supply lines, and prisoners severely hampers an armies mobility by forcing them to secure prisoners in place, and divert valuable men to stand watch over them, something a highely mobile unit like the airborne could not do. It was cruel, but so is all of war, and those men could not be properly secured without causing american casualties in the process.
    Edit: I also like your reactions by the way. You're funny af.

    The prisoners who got killed was necessary. They had orders not to take prisoners, since it was before the landing from sea. They had no bridgehead, so they didn't have food to keep them, they had no place to keep them, and not enough manpower to guard them. So you are left with 2 choices, kill them or let them go. Let them go and you risk they return to their own line and tell the enemy where you are.
    And in reality there where only 3 prisoners.

    Winters was the man! A great leader respected by his men and an excellent tactician. It was a stroke of luck that Easy Co. men were able to find each other after their chaotic jump. In a lot of cases men had to form their own makeshift units because of high casualties and being so widely scattered.

    "Zulu" about the battle of Rorke's Drift is pretty good, once you understand that some characters were very badly portrayed.
