    There are 2 videos you may want to watch: the documentary called “We Stand Alone, Together” which goes into the lives of the men and history of the Airborne. Also a “video diary” recorded by Ron Livingston (Nixon) about the boot camp training period the cast went through. All excellent!

      @@jameskirschling7887 Great! Thanks! I was very touched by the various videos about the BOB cast having their reunions, similar to the soldiers, and talking about how the acting experience was a significant part of their lives, not just as actors, but as human beings. There also was a very moving one showing a memorial for Dick Winters, and his burial site in the US, as well as having a marker set up in Europe.

    I had the honor of meeting Maj. Winters at a Battle of the Bulge reenactment at Fort Indiantown Gap, not far from his farm in Ephrata, PA. I was in a cafe and Maj. Winters asked if he could join me. Of course, I knew who he was and welcomed him as we shared some good beer. I was portraying a German General Staff officer, was in full uniform, and he mentioned that he had noticed me in the tactical battle we'd held that afternoon. He said he saw me and as he followed me with his binoculars, everywhere I went, from unit to unit,"things happened". I replied that I was just a messenger for my commander and was in contact with him by radio. He said that I was doing everything "a good staff officer should be doing". I really appreciated that this actual hero thought I had done a good job.

    Winters kept that sidearm. It had never been fired. What was worse for Shifty, while he was in the hospital, he had almost 2 years pay with him. Someone stole it. George Luz was an administrator for a school district in Rhode Island, he helped so many people with their maintenance challenges I guess some thought he was a maintenance man. Good stuff, fellas!

    This episode hits me the hardest. My grandfather was an aircraft mechanic in the Army Air Corps in Europe. After the war was over, he was in a C-87 carrying troops to go home. On landing the plane bounced off the runway damaging the props and wheeled into the trees and exploded. He died of his burns 3 days later.
    It's heartbreaking to think of all those that died even though the fighting had stopped. His absence in my father's life and ours is something that I have thought about a lot over the years.

    Something that comes up in the last episode that is not fully explained is the Adjusted Service Rating Score...which is what the "points" they keep referring to is about. The Army needed a system to prioritize the people that were deployed overseas, and decide in what order folks would get to go home, since not everyone could go home at the same time. The system heavily prioritized people with children under the age of 18 to get them home as soon as possible, and focused on medals awarded and time in service overseas as other criteria.👍

    8:45 Say what you will about giving access to a wine cellar to a guy with a drinking problem - Winters' doing so for Nixon was probably one of the best bro moments of the 20th century.
    The last surviving member of the WW2 complement of Easy Company was Bradford C. Freeman (born 1924), who was a mortarman (I believe) and who attained the rank of Private, First Class. He died on July 3, 2022, at the age of 97. And with that, the entire WW2 complement of Easy Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division, has passed into history.
    Gentlemen, and all the other soldiers you represented - thank you. Thank you for your service. Thank you for sharing your stories with us.

    My grandfather had 72 points but he entered the war so late that he would eventually be released simply because the war was over. He won two Bronze Stars (not sure what for) and he didn't talk about it much.
    Winters would say later in his life that he could still see the face of that young soldier at the crossroads as clear as if it happened yesterday. So, yeah, that image stayed with him the rest of his life. He didn't regret shooting him because that was part of the war but he hated that it had to happen.
    By the way, really enjoyed your reviews. Your appreciation of what you were watching was certainly appreciated by all of us.

Lots of rabbit holes to go down, History Hacks did zooms with the cast during the pandemic. 5hours worth, and a symposium at the WW2 museum in New Orleans two summers ago on RUclips 7 hours long of panels with cast, crew and family members of the guys.

    These men were asked to do the impossible by fighting and dying in the deadliest conflict in human history. They returned back to the United States after many years of fighting in Europe, Asia, and Africa, asked for nothing in return, and simply went back to work. Words will never do it justice to think of the heroism of these men, some as young as 15, who lied about their age just so they could serve. Its fitting that they are known by the name of 'the greatest generation'.

    The scene with the older German soldier on the road talking about his war experiences while directing traffic with an America soldier was German Military Police. That was what that big silver badger around his neck says (it goes back to the 18th century). He was still military police and they helped the Allied occupation forces maintain order with the other German soldiers who had surrendered and were heading home. The German Military Police were kept in operational service long after the war officially ended.

    I really loved watching this with you both - I was also impressed with how many small details and nuanced situations that you picked up on immediately - it takes most people multiple watches to catch things you guys caught right away, including me. It's good to see people, so young and far removed from this time, show a real interest and investment in the stories of WWII vets and the sacrifices they made to defend freedom. One tip: If/when you watch The Pacific, make sure to get the version that includes the Tom Hanks' and the vets commentary before each episode - so much invaluable background and info that you don't want to miss. Bless!

    Well done guys. I Mean that, means a lot to know there are younger people with perspective. I’ve enjoyed every episode with ya. Hope you will watch, we stand alone together. Easy went through so much there was no way they couldn’t reunite almost every year since 1946 for annual reunions. It’s a great watch and I’d like to see you react to it. When it’s genuine/ real people recognize it. Whether it’s veterans telling it or guys like you reacting to it. BS don’t fly with regular honest Americans. You guys were no bullshit and I love that. “Currahee”!!

    An amazing reaction to a very special series, grat job guys. You made a reference to seeing a trailer that mentioned some guys who could not join the war killing themselves. I think you may have seen the trailer for Hacksaw ridge and mistaken it for BoB. Hacksaw ridge is an amazing film and I highly recommend giving it a watch.

    Malarkey was supposed to be included in the baseball scenes at the end, but Scott Grimes who plays him, missed his flight to Austria for the filming, and he's said it's one of the biggest regrets in his life.
    -------
    I don't know if someone already wrote this here or maybe on your patreon, but here goes, about the 85 points, that's how they were earned.
    1 month of military service 1 point each
    1 month of military service overseas (in addition to total time in service) 1 point each
    Combat award (Medal of Honor, Distinguished Service Cross, Distinguished Service Medal, Legion of Merit, Silver Star Medal, Distinguished Flying Cross, Soldier's Medal, Bronze Star Medal, Air Medal, Purple Heart) 5 points each
    Having a dependent child under the age of eighteen (up to a max of 3 dependents) 12 points each
    They also earned 5 points per campaign they took part in.
    Egypt-Libya 11 June 1942 - 13 February 1943
    Air Offensive, Europe 4 July 1942 - 5 June 1944
    Algeria-French Morocco 8 - 11 November 1942
    Tunisia 17 November 1942 - 13 May 1943
    Sicily 9 July - 17 August 1943
    Naples-Foggia 9 September 1943 - 21 January 1944
    Anzio 22 January - 24 May 1944
    Rome-Arno 22 January - 9 September 1944
    Normandy 6 June - 24 July 1944
    Northern France 25 July - 14 September 1944
    Southern France 15 August - 14 September 1944
    North Apennines 10 September 1944 - 4 April 1945
    Rhineland 15 September 1944 - 21 March 1945
    Ardennes-Alsace 16 December 1944 - 25 January 1945
    Central Europe 22 March - 11 May 1945
    Po Valley 5 April - 8 May 1945
    As an example, a man who served for three years in the Army, including one and a half years overseas, had a child under 18, and fought in the Northern France, Ardennes-Alsace, Rhineland and Central Europe Campaigns, earning a Bronze Star Medal and two Purple Hearts would have:
    36 (months in service) + 18 (months overseas) + 12 (dependent under 18) + 5 (Northern France) + 5 (Rhineland) + 5 (Ardennes-Alsace) + 5 (Central Europe) + 5 (Bronze Star Medal) + 5 (Purple Heart) + 5 (Purple Heart) =
    101 points, enough to go home!

    • @DaKidsReact
      @DaKidsReact  28 дней назад +1

      Thank you so much for the breakdown it makes much more sense now since reading through this. I know for some people it took years to get all those points and probably still didn’t hit that many points. It would be better to not even know how many points you had I would think. Constantly counting and trying to get more points to get home would feel like it would put more stress on top of what you had on hand, which was just survive the day.

  • @Blazen1212
    @Blazen1212 29 дней назад

    I second the comment that you absolutely must watch what "We Stand Alone Together". It is a 1 hour long documentary ,which includes many of the interviews we saw at the beginning of each episode , where the men describe these battles in great detail. It really puts everything into context when you hear directly from the men who were actually there fighting.

  • @SaltiiLord
    @SaltiiLord 29 дней назад

    Something to keep in mind for 'The Pacific' is that side of the war was completely different and more brutal than how the war was fought in Europe.
    The Pacific is very heavily focused on the horrors of war and how war will effect, and eventually, break a man's soul. It is a very sobering and depressing series, but also very important to experience as it reminds us that even in the best case scenario of men surviving war without bodily harm, their souls are damaged forever.

    Easy Company is the most ironic name in military history. From D-DAY all the way to Hitler's Eagle's Nest, there was nothing Easy about it. I never want things I love to end, but you want the pain to end for these Men, and the peace to begin. The German Field Marshall's speech is actually what ties the entire concept of of the series together unexpectedly. I implore you to see "We Stand Alone Together" and Ron Livingston's (Nixon) Bootcamp Diary. It makes you appreciate the series even more unbelievably. You also need to watch "The Fallen of WW2" for perspective on the scale of this tragedy. "Were you a hero in the War Grandpa? Grandpa says no, but I served in a company of heroes" Near tears every time. Currahee! ♠
