"grandpa, were you a hero in the war?"
"No, but i served with a company of heroes."
Gets me every time.
#facts
Every fucking time man
Without fail. I was surprised I wasn’t feeling as emotional as normal as he was talking about the guys, but the moment they went to the real guys and got to that...done.
count me in. Greetings and Honor from Germany.
You’re not the only one.
Winters actually accepted the Luger in real life, and found out something amazing about it. It had never been fired. He, and his family, have agreed that it shall *never* be fired.
It was a PPK pistol not a luger that was surrender. The rest of what u said is correct
When it's all over, you really feel like you've been on a journey with these guys, don't you?
Yes, amazing show. Think of all the soldiers and even civilians that did equally heroic things for the Allies but never got to tell the tale. So much tragedy and loss for normal people in the name of power hungry entitled ones. Will we ever be different?
Yes, infact we were one of them 💜
Absolutely. Just another aspect that makes this series so incredible.
Yep, and it makes the last episode a little melancholic because you know you're going to be separating.
Speirs really did think the world of Grant.
The man who shot Sgt. Grant was a real person who did also kill 2 German POWs as well as shot a British Officer. E company all went out en masse to find the shooter and caught him trying to rape an Austrian girl. All of them were disgusted that he had been taken alive.
After he was turned over to the MPs, Sink came to question Speirs for details about what had happened. Even if Speirs shot him its unlikely anything would've happened since Col. Sink himself stated he would've backed Speirs up if he had killed that replacement. Shows how respected Speirs was as an officer because none of the NCOs interfered and very likely wouldn't have ratted him out.
"Almost every man in that room had killed. Their blood was up. Their anger was deep and cold. But what stands out in the incident is not the pistol whipping and beatings, but the restraint.
They had had enough of killing." -Stephen E. Ambrose
"Grandpa, were you hero in the war? Grandpa said no, but I served in a company of heroes."
Gets me every time. :')
every god damn time
100%. Cutting onions every single time.
Literally, whenever I here that line or even when I read it in the book, I full on sob
Same here, without fail. And I pretty much watch Band of Brothers yearly.
Jeff K i don’t know where that dust comes from that gets in my eye every damn time.
Good job! Now you need to watch "We Stand Alone Together" it is the documentary interveiwing the soldier and their families.
Totally agreed
This
All these men are now gone. The last one past away on June 15th 2019 at 97.
Staff Sergeant Albert L. Mampre
At least one still with us. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Shames
Jerry West according to what I looked up, there is also Bradford Freeman. I believe he was a Toccoa man, as he jumped on D-Day.
@@charlesedwards2856 You are correct. Besides Edward Shames as the last surviving “officer,” Bradford Freeman is the last surviving “enlisted” member of Easy Company.
wikiofbrothers.fandom.com/wiki/PFC_Bradford_Freeman
You guys should check out “The Pacific” next and do a compare and contrast😊
Brutality for sure in the pacific
They already said they will!
and then the video "Fallen of World War II" to visualize the vast numbers of deaths
Take a break first for her sake..... at least.
I've seen several couples... reactors only make it through Band of Brothers and not anything else. They had enough and I can respect that. The guy in these couples would go on by themselves, or in another situation, the guy had his dad watch The Pacific with him, not his woman/wife/girlfriend. I wouldn't ever force anyone but teens in history classes to watch something like this, or Holocaust from 1978.
@Brian Morgan I think that the pacific focuses more on the characters and depicted the brutality of the pacific theatre like no other. Even gave the characters a good send off rather than just a montage with a voice over and also showing what their experiences has left on them after the war. It especially did not shy from the fact that all sides committed war crimes down to the worst of cases. The raw dirtiness of combat is just expressed better in the pacific and characterization is just on point. I most definitely love both of them though
Back in the 90's I was in E co 506th (living History unit) the unit officially approved by the real veterans. We would have them all in the barracks Maj. Winters read us the letter he got form Tom Hanks asking his blessing to make this series, I spent many years in my youth trying to out drink Wild Bill & Babe with no luck, those Prop Blast Bash in the barracks were epic. I barely remember when wild Bill found me about to pass out and he said "Hey Sarg!, I found 2 beers let's drink them" so many great memories of being around these Troopers who loved life and was always willing to talk with people esp the children about ww2
Great experience mate! Keep safe, from 🇬🇧
Those interviews at the end really get me every time
“Bulgaria’s nightmare just began.” If only the Allies had a clear view of what the Soviets were going to do. Should have known.
I think we had an idea, but with people back home being happy the war was over and the fact the Soviets fought with us, going after them would’ve been a terrible idea with no support.
It’s sad how often that is the case, but what can you do?
@@charlesedwards2856 patton knew, he wanted to continue the war
Bulgaria, Romania and Hungary, regrettably, joined the war on the side of the Axis. While Bulgaria's role in the war was limited and they eventually staged an anti-German coup that declared neutrality, as punishment for joining the Axis and to prevent them from restoring their original monarchy the Soviets still invaded and installed their own puppet government that lasted until 1990.
The names for the jeeps was called Willy jeeps. Also it be awesome if y'all guys watch the Pacific. It follows the fight in the Pacific during ww2
Grant actually slowly recovered from the bullet wound to the head sometimes he had some speech problems and his left arm was semi paralyzed. he died in 1984
Its been a while ride. I can't wait for you two to watch "The Pacific".
In the Part where the German Officer offered to give his Gun to Major Winters and Winters said he could keep his Gun, well in real life Winters Took the Gun and it wasn't a Luger, and when Winters Examined the Gun it was New It had Never been Fired, in an interview before his Death he showed the Gun and he said as long he was Alive No One would ever Fire That Gun
I believe his family has formally donated it to the WWII museum in New Orleans, or something of the like, ensuring it will never be fired.
Don malarkey was a big reason this series and saving private ryan was made and was the finale member of easy company to die in 2017
Been loving these Band of Brothers reactions, one of my all time fav shows and you're reactions made me go rewatch it all again. Love this channel, love from Sweden
Thanks for the supper and I am happy you liked it :)
FYI Winters passed away in 2011.
I think I legitimately cried a bit when I heard that news.
I opened up the newspaper the day after and it was national news in the obituary sections. I’m in Boston and it was prominently featured. There may have even been a blurb on the front page for it.
I liked the jeeps also, but I have sad story. My uncle was in an artillery unit that got to Europe right at the end of the war there. His unit was then sent to Manila in the Philippines. There was a large transportation depot there in the build up for the invasion of Japan. The war ended before that could take place. My uncle watched the depot be liquidated literally. It started with 2 barges. 2 bulldozers would be backed down to the end of each barge then brand new trucks would be driven on the barges filled to capacity. In the back of each truck were crates of jeeps waiting for assembly that would never come. The two barges would be towed out to the middle of Manila Bay. The dozers would be cranked and put into forward gear and the drivers would get off. The whole lot on each barge would plunged off the ends of the barges. The barges would then be towed back to the dock to do it again. this went on for weeks. My father was with a front line fighter group in the SWP. All of his group's planes were destroyed at Clark Field outside of Manila or at Kimpo Field near Soule, Korea.
The death that puzzled you was just from the jeep crashing after it swerved. You don't have to be going very fast to die in a car crash when there's no padded dashboard, safety glass, or seat belts.
Beautiful reactions from beautiful people!
I was listening to "Hang Tough" today, and Winters mentioned that he was one of the few officers to have more than 100 points, but because the higher ups marked him as "essential" he had to stick around and wait to go home. This was after VJ day ofc, since he was trying to get there faster
« But I served in a compagnie of Heroes » This line always gets me
This episode, as a young teen, was what made me want to visit Austria and Bavaria more than anywhere else. I have been to Vienna but not the country side.
I'd love to visit somewhere like Salzburg, Neuschwanstein (Germany but close), The Eagle's Nest...
The German General's speech at the end always gets me to cry.
•In real life, Winters took his sidearm (it is either a sign of respect or insult to return or refuse to take a surrendering officer's sidearm) and came to learn that it was a new gun that had never been fired. He made sure that for the rest of his life, that gun would never know war by being fired.
•The war in Europe is over, but there is still the war in the Pacific against the Japanese.
•Salute the rank, not the man. Words to live by, even if you're not in the Army.
•Sadly, every man of Easy Company has rejoined that company of heroes in Heaven. While there may still be a few replacements lying around, all the Tocoa Men are gone. RIP, brave heroes of this Republic. CURRAHEE!!!!!!!!
Those atomic bombs saved countless lives, both for the Allies and also for the Japanese. They were preparing to fight to the last man, woman and child to defend their home islands. Imagine being one of these soldiers, just helped defeat Nazi Germany, and facing redeployment to go fight the suicidally fanatical Japanese. That describes my Grandfather; a combat paratrooper, fought in the Battle of the Bulge, lifetime democrat, and he said dropping the atomic bombs was “the best thing Truman ever did.”
Amen.
While I understand the sentiment, we simply don’t know what would have happened if the bombs hadn’t been dropped.
Before you lecture me, let me say that there is decent evidence that it wasn’t the bombs that made the Japanese surrender, it was the Soviets declaring war on them.
They Japanese had heard what Stalin did against the Germans, throwing wave after wave of men at them to deplete their ammunition. Couple that with the fear they had of retribution for the Russo-Japanese war in 1905 where Japan embarrassed Russia (many high-ranking Soviet officials were veterans of that war), and what would happen under Stalin’s rule, and they were pretty quick to call on the Emperor to decide what to do.
It is true, they were pretty split for his ministers, but they became split with the Soviet’s declaration of war.
I understand wanting to end the war and thinking you have to ability to do so with a weapon like that, but we have to be willing to understand that history is written by the winners, so the narrative didn’t fit by including the Soviets.
That said, it is true that the Japanese people were being trained with sharpened sticks, also that more than 400,000 Purple Hearts were minted for the invasion of Japan. We’re still using those same Purple Hearts for soldiers wounded today because we had so many in surplus.
@@charlesedwards2856 The Soviet declaration of war was ONE of the factors that forced the surrender, but I think the atomic bombs were a bigger part of it. The Soviets had a pitifully small navy compared to the United States, and they had no landing craft, and they had never staged a single amphibious landing from the sea, unlike the US and Britain.
The Soviets could (and did) threaten Japanese forces on mainland Asia, including Korea, but it would have taken them a long time to be ready to attempt to land on the Japanese home islands. The United States, on the other hand, had plenty of experience with amphibious beach landings; both in Europe and all across the Pacific. They had a huge navy, and plenty of available landing craft. The United States was clearly the bigger threat to the Japanese.
When those atomic bombs hit, many of the Japanese leaders saw it as 'a gift from Heaven,' because it was a 'new and terrible weapon' which allowed them to surrender while saving face. And even then, there was an attempted coup against the Emperor.
One good book to read on this if you're interested is "Hell to Pay: Operation Downfall and the Invasion of Japan." It makes it very clear that the Japanese had no intention of surrendering prior to the atomic bombs, drawing on official documents from the United States and Japanese governments.
You did an excellent job with the entire series. I know others have said it but you should watch the Documentary We Stand Alone Together. You see the full interviews with the living members at the time, and their love for each other really comes through. Also when anyone of them speaks about winters you can hear the respect in their voice, still 50 years later any one of them would still have run through a wall for him if he asked.
On to The Pacific?
21:31
Curious to see what you make of The Pacific. I would go against some of the comments here and recommend that you both DON'T compare it to BOB. The Pacific is about a different kind of war and focuses on different themes compared to BOB. If you treat the series as its own thing, you will enjoy it more
My grandfather helped build the shells of those bombs. Kenneth Rudolph Fisher. He died from cancer. In 1969
Yep, get yourselves prepared for The Pacific. More brutality. Much darker. More draining. Just as good, but harder to watch.
I wish I had saved it, but I saw this picture and it was a compilation of some of the dark moments of the The Pacific, and the words underneath were Guarnere's. "Right now, some lucky guy is getting shipped to the Pacific." It was really something
That last line by Major winners gets me everytime
My father fought the Japanese. After the war he was with the troops that occupied Japan. It was a long time until he was able to go home, despite the war being over.
Thanks so much for watching and reacting to such a fantastic mini-series!
Told you it was a different kind of tears. 🙂 As others have said, Dont forget to watch the bonus video Stand Alone..... No need to react to it. It's just great to see the real men.
Thank you both for watching this series.
Thank you for sharing your reaction to this series. Such a beautiful tribute to the greatest generation. Let us never forget.
"That was a nice touch for the end." That was my feeling too.
The German Officer who gave the speech at the end was also a German officer in Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark and the Ark melted his face off :)
In one of the reprints of the Steven Ambrose book they have a photo of Lewis Nixon the waking up the day after VE Day and gaining access to Goering’s liquor supply.
Yeah…..he partied
Haha my man low key hiding back the tears at 14:53
As an ex Infantryman who fought in 5 different wars I can confirm that the men you serve and fight alongside are more than brothers, but it’s a dam good word to describe the bond. A bond that has no expiry date attached.
The elevator has brass paneled walls, they look gold but they are not gold. The power for the elevator comes from a Diesel engine that would have ended up in a U-boat, but now is in a room inside the side of a mountain. Ask about it and your tour guide might let you see it.
Women love this series because of the focus on the human beings. It isn't just things blowing up. It is people you love being blown up.
You should watch the movie “Patton” a famous WW2 Tank Commander! Even the Germans feared Patton more then any other Allied General to include British Field Marshal Montgomery!!!
This was one of the best mini-series I had ever seen. Two others I would recommend would be the newer "Battlestar Galactica" from around 2004 and "The Thorn Birds" (a romance). You will grow attached to the characters in Battlestar Galactica, also.
Really hope they get around to BSG, that was a great series
Winter fired his last shots at the "Crossroad" episode and never fired since, but Nixon never fired his weapon since Normandy.
I can’t even imagine going through the war without having to fire your weapon except the first few days/weeks.
He must have thought something was building up against him the longer it went. Instead, he was just “one lucky bastard!”, to quote ol’ gonorrhea himself.
The saddest part of watching this episode is that all of those guys are gone now. There's only a couple of guys from Easy Company left, but none of them, to my knowledge, were portrayed in the show.
Shames is still alive. he was shown a lot during Bastogne
You are correct, I forgot that he was still alive. I think when I looked it up a couple of months ago I was looking for who else besides him, and then forgot that now.
Joshua Frahm only other guy left is Bradford Freeman, who I believe was also a Toccoa man, as he jumped on D-Day.
Bill Wingett was still alive as of June of this year as well, i can't find any newer info than that
"Grandpa, were you a hero in the war?" Grandpa said "No, but I served in a company of heroes" - Major Richard D. Winters, 1918-2011
Mike Ranney's quote, in a letter to Winters. Not his own.
@@Bullock0099 Yeah, many don't catch that Winters is talking about a letter he recieved from Myron 'Mike' Ranney (he was one of the NCOs loyal to Winters who was demoted to Private on episode 1, he was played by Stephen Graham). Mike Ranney was the "grandpa" from the anecdote, not Winters.
Man they got the casting Bill Garnier perfect didn't they
In case it was missed (I missed it my first time watching) at 5:07 Speirs gets spooked by the champagne bottle popping open. However at the time he's holding a Luger pistol (incorrectly) when it happens, meaning his first assumption was likely that the gun had misfired. The same type of pistol that went off in Hoobler's pants, severing his leg artery in episode 7.
Well done Homies :) Thoroughly enjoyed spending some time with you two. Look forward to the next.
They are in the process of making another mini-series. This time about the 8th Air Force. Believe Tom Hanks is involved in this one too. Comes out next year I think.
God I hope so, I've been hearing about this series for like 2+ years now. I hope they can do it justice all that aerial combat is not going to be easy to do. I think a lot people might be surprised how brutal it was. The 8th Air Force lost more men over Europe than the Marines did fighting the Japanese. There are a couple of trailers available on RUclips look for "The Cold Blue".
Great video and great series!!! Loved it! Now on to The Pacific! Cheers from across the pond!!! 🔥🔥❤️❤️💯💯🇺🇸🇺🇸🤘🤘🍻🍻
3:24 never seen one, yet - but i chat and play with a friend from Swiss almost everyday. Yes, the bunker-theory is lively.
17:43 I agree to everything those Heroes said from this timestamp forward.
I really enjoyed your reaction video and have been waiting for today! I just sent you 2 pictures via your gmail account. The subject line is
"2 Pictures for you - Band of Brothers". Nothing special but thought you might enjoy them.
Thanks we saw them :)
Thank you for reviewing & reacting to the Band of Brothers. Part of America’s greatest generation.
It says that when the 101st Airborne moved to France to train for the Pacific theater of war, Japan surrendered two weeks later. The deflated looks on some of their faces were unwarranted. : )
The best show I’ve ever had the honor of watching.
:smiles: I was already teary with this one, for the touching ending was just as emotional as the terrible parts ... and then you said "Happy sad", which is what my late wife used to say about such things that make you shed tears but they are not tears of pain ...
It was actually a bronze-plated elevator
These WWII HBO series are to me better then most of there other stuff.
Thank you thank you for doing this series. It’s so good and I love your videos.
Swifty lost all those Luger pistols too. They were all stolen while his was in hospital.
RIP Major Richard Winters
You guys should watch Man in the High Castle on Amazon Prime...great show
I noticed you guys didn't say much but that's pretty much the effect of Band of Brothers
watching generation war, portrays the German side of the conflict; it's as good as Band of brothers
It was worth nine episodes to have MAJOR Winters meet CAPTAIN Sobol.
Donald Malarkey was the last survivor of Easy Company. He passed away in 2017.
Incorrect, there are two remaining. Bradford Freeman and Edward Shames, at least according to the internet searches I did before scrolling through the comments. Freeman lives in Mississippi and Shames in Virginia. Shames is the last surviving officer of Easy.
@@charlesedwards2856 The internet LIED TO ME?!
Liz D I know, I know. I’m just as shocked! Let me clarify that I have not found anything on Shames or Freeman dying. The last thing I saw for a date was back in June of this year talking about Freeman as being alive.
@@lizd2943 here you go.
wikiofbrothers.fandom.com/wiki/PFC_Bradford_Freeman
wikiofbrothers.fandom.com/wiki/Edward_D._Shames
"We made it." I can feel that.
I definitely vote for The Pacific and the military in the US doesn't pay well at all... trust me.
Really love your reactions ... You guys rock !
Kept the pistol. Never fired a shot.
I enjoyed both your reactions. Thank you.
Great reaction, waiting for the Pacific now
I highly recommend doing reactions to videos from the channel History Buffs. They covered this show as well as Saving Private Ryan. I think you might find some very interesting facts you never knew about.
I hate that the French tried taking the Eagles Nest. The Victors deserve it, not the country that surrendered lol
General Patton wound up dying as a result of a car accident after the war...
Ironic that there was a 10,000 bottle wine cellar when Hitler didn't drink...🤦
Sobel's content for E company and the mutiny may have in fact saved his life given the plane he most likely would have been in was hit killing everyone.
Nice reaction folks! Now, react to the documentary that was made of Band of Brothers! You will love it, its a good ending for this series. :-)
Ima need to see the pacific reaction next
I am so proud of both of you!
Thanks so much for watching this.
You guys are awesome 👍 thank you for your reactions to this series.
How sad that 11 people gave this a thumb down.
Great reaction. The Pacific is great also...but be prepared, a little harder to watch.
Hi Ellie. 😍
Yeah, the first episode is not... too... bad, but "The Pacific" is very dark and disturbing. It was a different war with a very different location and enemy. The US Marines are just a little different than the US Army, but the series flows differently with many more female characters and home scenes. It's good, but not a copy of "Band of Brothers".
You should watch the band of brothers documentary - we stand along together
Also if you want me to send you the links to the recent podcasts done with the cast , families etc etc let me know
Please you need to react to the documentary of interviews. Its the best part of the whole series
The Pacific
You guys should react to generation war
React to Generation Kill to see a more modern take on soldiers in war.
You should try Generation Kill
again i would like to see you watch, Hamburger Hill.
nah the us military does not pay well, but its not bad in peacetime regardless
Officers get paid decently, but definitely not great. Troops get paid a lot better when they’re sent overseas during combat: normal pay + specialist pay (if they are a specialist of some type)+ combat pay, and then I think at least one other thing. It adds up pretty quick if you’re not home to spend it.
Don't know if its your sort of thing but I'd love to see you react to "Lost"
You guys should react to the story of the tomb of the unknown
I can not for the life of me peg where your accent is from. It sounds, to my western ear, russian but that could mean 'anything east of germany' ... so I'm very curious as to what is you native language? Ukraine... Latvia... etc... ? Thanks!
They mentioned in an earlier reaction that they are from/in Bulgaria, I believe.
Thanks for doing this🙂
