Band of Brothers 1x6 "Bastogne" REACTION (DoC Roe Is a Hero)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 янв 2024
- The Battle of Bastogne was one of the hardest episodes I have watched. What makes this episode difficult was that it was all true. Seeing the men of Easy company in such mental and physical anguish is jarring.
Hard to believe people can still find the willpower to continue their mission in such a dire situation.
And the story of Doc Roe is just amazing, having to continue to pick yourself up when things are absolutely dire and putting yourself in the line of fire is truly heroic. Band of Brothers is such beautifully tragic series about eh atrocities of war and the men and women who didn't give up in the face of pure evil.

Renée Lemaire and Augusta Chewy (Ana) were real people.
Renée Lemaire was a practicing nurse who was visiting her parents in Bastogne for Christmas, 1944. Her fiancé was a Jewish man who had been taken by the Gestapo in Brussels, earlier in 1944. When Renée was visiting her parents, the Germans launched their surprise counter offensive, and the town became surrounded. Renée volunteered at the American aide station, where she served under Dr John “Jack” Prior. On Christmas Eve 1944, the Germans bombed the town of Bastogne. The aid station caught fire during the bombing. Renée rescued 6 people from the building. When she went back into the building to get more people, the building collapsed, and she was killed. Her body was recovered, and the Airborne returned her to her parents, wrapped in a parachute.
Augusta Chiwy was also a practicing nurse, who was also visiting her parents in Bastogne for Christmas 1944. Her father was a former Belgian soldier, her mother was from Congo. When Bastogne became surrounded, Augusta first worked with her uncle, who was a doctor, helping local civilians. At some point she volunteered at the American aid station, also serving under Dr John Prior. During the Christmas Eve bombing, Augusta was in a building adjacent to one that was hit by a bomb. She was blown through a wall, but survived with only minor injuries. After the war, Augusta continued to practice nursing, eventually specializing in neck and spinal injuries. She married a Belgian soldier, and they had two children. In 2012, both the American and Belgian governments finally formally recognized Augusta Chewy, awarding her some of the highest civilian honours the respective governments can bestow. Augusta Chiwy passed away in 2015, at the age of 94.
Together, Augusta and Renée are known as “The Angels of Bastogne”.
Thank you for the background story on these amazing people.
Thank you for sharing these stories of amazing women. If you havent seen Searching for Augusta its amazing but by the sounds of it you already have.
BIG thanks for the explanation friend. The Angels should always live in memory.
Wow! Thank you for that. 🙏
Both of my Grandpas were in Bastogne. My paternal Grandpa was a Radio Operator for the 101st Airborne, and my maternal Grandpa was a Tank Driver for the 4th Armored Division (the General Patton's Third Army Spearhead). It's a small world if you ask me.
Wow. My granddad was also there… 101 airborne 907 gliders 🇺🇸
They later recovered Julian's body. There is a photo of Babe at Julian's grave many decades later.
Doc Roe is a legendary medic.
Doc Roe ❤❤ I just recently watched an interview with Shayne who played Eugene, wow was he suited to the role!!
I’ve watched this countless times, multiple times a year. It makes me feel close to my grandfather who was at Bastogne (101 airborne, 907 gliders) he remarked on the sound of those tanks coming through the trees, being told to fire at will…. And agreed they DID NOT need to be rescued!!
I ALWAYS tear up for Julian, every damn time. As a nurse I cannot FATHOM working in these conditions. It’s hard enough at a fully equipped, state of the art, fully stocked level I trauma center… doing what they did in these conditions? Goddamn.
Edited to add: you’re a very emotionally intelligent reactor, thank you for taking this seriously, i believe it honors them when we watch it and remember them
Ive been so looking forward to this one, since you first mentioned how much you like Doc. He's my favorite character, hands down. His calm is like a warm blanket. But to be with him through everything he goes through, running from one tragedy to the next. You really get to see the toll it takes and the scars he will carry with him. Mad Mad respect for anyone whose job begins when something awful happens.
We also can't overlook Renée Lemaire and Augusta Chiwy (called Anna in the show). They were real people too. And they stand in for all the civilians who mustered the courage to help in whatever way they could, often paying no smaller a price than the soldiers themselves.
In this episode there's the one moment in the whole series that sums up what these guys were made of, and that's when they're literally pulling chunks of a tree trunk out of a guy's leg, and he tells them to save the morphine for someone who's hurt worse. How can you not be in awe of these men?
There is an amazing documentary about the black nurse in Bastogne called Searching For Augusta that you should watch or react to. Its genuinely a heart-warming documentary about a beautiful person
Winter's shaving was a psychological component for him and his men. He did it to maintain routine and some semblance of "normality." It was also to display to his men that he wasn't cracking from the harsh conditions.
This episode and the next were filmed on sound sets located inside huge hangars, in England. 300,000lbs of shredded paper and plastic pellets were used to replicate snow. They used a mix of real trees, and fake ones made of foam for the ones who would get blown up. They did a fantastic job conveying the feeling of absolute cold, even though the actors were sweating like crazy and needed their faces wiped off between takes.
Winters continued to shave in order to instill some confidence in his men. They would see him keep up his routine so they would believe that things weren't that bad, despite all that was going on.
Guarnere's pissing problems could very possibly be linked to when he came back to the company in Ep5, and was looking for a little joint called Lulu's.. most likely caught some STI in there having a good time with a lady..
Gordon, the one who got paralyzed, eventually healed up and was able to walk again, but suffered the rest of his life from severe back pains resulting from the wounds. After the war, people would hug him and pat him on the back, causing him great pain, but he always made a point to never let it show.
I like to think that Doc Roe using Renée's scarf to bandage Heffron was like her very last act of healing from beyond.
In your outro, when you ask, where do they find the strength to keep going, it made me remember the opening of the "Medal of Honor" show on Netflix, Ronald Reagan's words.
_"Where did we find such men? We find them where we've always found them. In our villages and towns, on our city streets, in our shops and on our farms."_
They were ordinary men who stood up and accomplished extraordinary things.
While watching Easy Company being shelled keep in mind that high explosives have an instantaneous expansion rate up to about 5 miles per second. For comparison consider that rifle rounds leave the muzzle at around 1/2 mile per second and immediately slow down from there, but they can still do plenty of damage to you at that much lower velocity. And not only are artillery shell fragments moving at extreme velocity they are also jagged, sharp and very hot. Furthermore the amount of energy released by an artillery shell detonation is enough to injure or kill from concussion and heat alone. The level of violence is mind numbing. I experienced that violence just once in the Army when a shell detonated about 20 meters from our position (US artillery firing accident). Luckily we had heavy cover relative to the detonation (one soldier was evacuated but he recovered). Compared to field artillery rifles and machine guns seem more akin to pea shooters, although rifle rounds do carry further than shell fragments.
Hi Imon.. Great reaction..A heavy one, the loss of Renné was gutting for "Doc", but as you say "Super heros" They were Men of men, and a generation like no other. We owe them everything we have today.. Everything!! My Dad passed away in 2019 at the age of 97.. He was from this generation and was and was a quiet gentle man seldome talked of the war and the horrors he saw.. He Joined up at 17 and survived the sinking of the HMS Barham in the mediteranean in 1941 with the Royal Marines (English) there is a video of the sinking on the net.. Everytime I watch it I find it hard to believe anyone survived, but 300 did. Can't imagine the kids of today doing this, and thank God they don't have to.. Not yet anyway... Thanks again for the reaction, not looking forward to the next episode..
Best wishes as always from France
Great reaction Imom. This is my favorite episode in a series filled with amazing episodes. Every episode is amazing but Bastogne is just incredible. You feel like you’re there - you feel the cold.
I think you're the first person to point out the difference of color between Renee's bandana and the deathly colors of winter.
How did they do it, persevere through such Hell? Because they were tough and resilient and frankly, they were men. There was a time when masculinity wasn't viewed as some kind of "toxic" trait to be eliminated but rather a virtue to be emulated. It was their traditional masculinity that made them tough enough to endure and carry on to win the war...and go on to live long productive lives afterward.
We owe those brave men so much.
My great uncle JP was at Bastogne in the medical corp. Only heard about it later when I was in the military myself. Unfortunately he never spoke of it but he was a great guy, & looking back I can see the sadness in his eyes that he carried.
Thank u for another emotional reaction. For me.... ep6 is really one of the best BOB episode. Its also my fave ep.. doc. Roe really worked hard... Also if you happen to read the book.. the Easy men really respect doc. ROE... especially during bastogne. Easy company said that doc. Eugene Roe is one of the "HEART OF EASY" considering that his the only Medic who served Easy through out their journey... and it was actually stated in the book that the men felt doc. Roe really deserves a medal on how well he worked hard saving all of them in bastogne... I even remember reading Malarkeys book and i remember him talking about doc.Roe.. "If you happen to see doc. Roe, he will just sit by himself and you can totally tell his losing it. Doc. Roe witnessed more death than any of the men so who could blame him if his just seating from behind, not saying a word"-Donald Malarkey. Not sure about the exact word malarkey used... its been so long since ive read the book... but that statement really broke my heart and i didnt forget it since then....
doc. ROE... Roe was helping anyone he could, no matter the situation. He ran out into the open during a German artillery strike. He ran out into the open without weapons and dragged a wounded man back. Roe was described as the most dependable, caring person in Easy Company. Malarkey even recommended him for a silver star but the citation was set aside and forgotten about. He was known for getting to anyone who needed help, even if they weren’t sure how he got there. Easy company said that... "its amazing how He was always there when we needed him"... and one thing more the miniseries didnt shw is the fact that... Roe was also injured in his jump into Holland. He landed on barbed wire and cut open his leg. He received another purple heart for that...
My dad was in the Battle of the Bulge,all he ever said about it was that there were bodys stacked up like cord wood
My cousin was in the Battle of the Bulge. He carried shrapnel in his leg for the rest of his life.
Hello Imon_Snow I’ve been away but I will make a conscious decision to follow you better again. What brought me to your channel in the beginning was Rings of Power, and you didn’t let those naysayers bring you down and you were always very nice to me. Thank you❤
Do you remember from the last episode when Guarnere asked about a place named "Lulu's"? Well, based on what he is experiencing this episode, I think he found it and has a "souvenir".
As far as anyone knows Doc Roe and the Nurse never met; they included the scenes because they wanted to acknowledge the nurses. I do wish they'd done more with the Congolese nurse; didn't find out her full story until after the show had aired, and long after I'd read the book. However all those still alive said they captured Roe's character perfectly. The soldier shot in the neck on patrol actually survived; Germans evacuated him to one of their hospitals and he survived the war. The paralysed trooper was taken back to Bastogne more than a decade ago, I think, he actually found the coffee mug he dropped when he was shot. kerk
Another amazing video!!!
Another great reaction Imon 😀😀😄😄.
This series can definitely be a tough watch. Yet it feels so very important that we do.
this and the next few episodes broke world records in terms of cost of the set up. All of that snow is recycled paper. About 300k lbs was used and the forest scenes were all done in a large warehouse.
they did a great job portraying cold visually.
One of my relatives was a combat medic with Patton's third army, which relieved the 101st Airborne at Bastogne among other actions Not surprisingly he never talked about his combat experience, at least not when I was there, but he sure thought a lot of Patton's no nonsense way of war fighting. Despite the horror he must have experienced he readjusted, came back to the States started a small business and raised a family. Quite a character, easy going, patient, generous with his time...he was a great guy.
Nice review love the video imon Nation stay motivated Dream big 1 mill on the way
Private John T Julian is currently buried in the Luxembourg American Military cemetery. Along side with some other easy company members who I won’t mention so I don’t give it away.
Along side 5,000+ American soldiers that are currently buried there is General George S Patton buried along side those men. He is buried in a way so that he is watching “his boys” forever.
Those men never got to come home from war, but they’re buried in their new home. A place that accepts them, and keeps them remembered for a very long time. Bless those men who fought for liberation from Nazi tyranny, but also bless those people of Holland that make sure our men aren’t forgotten.
This is my favourite episode of the show
I love this series, and I love watching people react to it. It's so important for the younger generations to hear this story so they can appreciate the price paid by our greatest generation to protect the freedoms we sometimes take for granted. I'm really enjoying your reactions, young lady. Buckle up. There are some intense episodes ahead. I commend you for wanting to learn about this moment in history.
This is a very famous battle. I can think of 2 films off the top of my head that deal with it. Battleground from 1949 and Battle of the Bulge from 1965.
Battleground is about the same 101st Airborne Division in Bastogne
Battle of the Bulge is more of an overview of the battle from both the German and American point of view.
"There's a lot of sh*t and it's heading this way..." Well, it's here. Imagine being the only one in the middle of this chaos trying to save lives, while everyone around you is trying to end them...I dated a nurse once, it takes a certain kind of soul to do this, let alone in a war zone... ♠
Every time I see this episode I think Winter should save some of that face hair for warmth. Apparently he shaved as a show of structure and discpline for the men. As a commissioned officer he was probably living a little better than the soldiers on the line.
So wonderful tour reactions Hub. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I was a Navy Hospital Corpsman (Medic) in Vietnam (3 Tours). I had 4months of basic medical training and two months of combat medical training when I was assigned to the Marines. The army medical training is similar. They don't just say you're a medic. There are not enough men that volunteer to be a medic. Tests are taken while you are in training. If your test shows an aptitude for medicine, then they ask you to volunteer or just send you to school to be a medic. If you are not good at it they send you back to infantry. Most medics that have been in combat can do the job as well as or better than some doctors or nurses.
According to the Geneva Conventions medics are not to carry offensive weapons. I never carried a weapon. During times not in combat the medic is supposed give first aid lessons to his whole platoon frequently. So, anyone can take over basic first aid if the medic is killed. They can carry a pistol for their own protection and the protection of the one they are working on.
Those two medics in the same fox hole should never be close to each other during combat (That’s one of the first things you learn). One of my tours in Vietnam I was on a ship on the Co Chien River in the Mekong Delta. Me and another corpsman were the only medical personnel on board. Being the only medical person onboard I did everything medical. If you were on a ship or with the Marines, you were called Doc. We were taught that during combat conditions we were to be on opposite ends of the ship. The 2 corpsmen we replaced were together during a fire fight and they both got killed. You never remember all the ones that you have treated but you never forget the ones you can’t save.
Thank you for sharing a snippet of your experience. Very amazing to hear. Please take care
These men came back home and made America better than it was when they left.
There is a story about one of the men in this series. I won't mention his name to avoid spoilers, but all his life he put out food for feral cats. He said it was because he knew how it felt to be really cold and hungry.
Dick Winters said he did not fear a lot during the war but tbe one thing that freaked him out was infestation and disease so he was extra careful about his hygiene and would shave and trim his hair as often as possible
Since you’re watching my two favorite Tv Shows at the same time… I get a lot of Clair Fraser vibes from this episode.
I think your camera is trying to focus on Frodo's face
Doc is the best
They are no bad children only bad parents, they are no bad soldiers only bad leaders and they are no bad staff only bad bosses it's our job whatever our station to teach and be a good leader.
Superheroes were inspired by war heroes from history.
❤
“You’re hands remind me of my Grandmother’s”, is not a good chat-up line!
Great reaction to a great episode but the camera needs to be taken off auto-focus 😂
So so beautiful miss snow😊
Can you please react to Society of the Snow.
That movie blew my mind….I’d heard of the event, but had no clue…
Episode 9
I see this episode, and it shows me how far we have fallen as a society. These were kids, mind you. These were kids who put their futures on hold to do this.
Now a days we can't even get the younger generation to go into the office to work.
They endured the worst humans can do to each other in conditions we can't even imagine, and when SOME came home, they were afflicted with PTSD. Back when that level of trauma was the baseline for PTSD.
But now we have people melting down and unable to function if someone calls them a bad name, who feel "unsafe" if someone doesn't call them what they would like them to.
It's some cruel joke that the descendants of those who fought and died in this war are the ones who see those in the military as "less than" or undeserving of respect, who don't care if they live or die.
Opposite ends of the spectrum, i suppose.
But it makes me profoundly sad both for where we are now, and where we are going.
According to History Professor Jared Frederick, the character of the nurse, Renée, may have been inspired by the real life character Renée Lemaire, Lemaire was from the Bastogne area, her parents owned a hardware store there, throughout much of the war, prior to this moment, she had been a nurse in Brussels, where she helped take care of the wounded. She just happened to be going home to see her parents in Bastogne for Christmas 1944, and little could she have realized that this battle would erupt in her front yard.
He further states there's no evidence to suggest that she interacted with Doc Roe. Renée did lose her life during German bombing of Bastogne, but she was not in the Church basement, she was actually in a store basement that wasn't too far away. A building had caught fire, and she was taking part in an effort to evacuate men who had taken refuge in that building, an aid station in the basement of the Sarma Store. She was able to pull six men out of the fire and when she went back in to get a seventh, she lost her life. She was 30 years old. Her body was later delivered to her parents wrapped in a white parachute.
Your camera is constantly focusing on your background and blurring your face. Please, do something about it.
