Just wonderful.
Next up is Attack On Titan. Then Generation Kill. Then a Premiere Pioneer.
Juliette Reacts lookimg forward to your generation kill reaction. Band of Brothers for the MTV generation. The book based on it s great too which I have recently reread during lockdown.
Whaaaaat Generation Kill? I can't wait!
have you/would you consider reacting to 'The Chosen'?
Winters reaction to Popeye saying sorry for getting hit is priceless
What is even more powerful and sad watching this now is that sadly no living members of Easy 506 remain. The last veteran passed away last year. A very special bunch of guys.
Lt. Ed Shames of E company and Jim " Pee Wee" Martin of G company are still alive both going strong at the ages of 97 and 99
Fast Fez Rest In Peace Brothers in arms.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
So, Fez, I'm a combat veteran myself and I want to offer you an alternate way of looking at things.
It's not 'sad' that the last member of Company E 506th PIR passed away last year. The only sad thing about it is that most of us never got the chance to meet one and hear them. When that man was a boy, he didn't think he's be alive next year. He'd seen friends die and he knew the odds. He was an infantryman and the odds were that he'd be severely wounded, killed or lose his mind before the War was over.
Instead, a miracle happened. He lived. And he lived with enough of himself left that he was able to marry and have a family and actually get to experience old age. He lived FIFTY YEARS after that day when he thought would wouldn't live one.
I'm a lifelong military historian and I'm not much of a fan of George Patton. But I do very much appreciate this quote: "It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived."

Carl Hicks Jr cheers for the lecture pal. Im a UK combat veteran too, but you know, cheers for assuming im a no nothing.
Thanks for remembering. My maternal grandfather jumped that day. I never knew him he was killed not long after the war in an accident. I think about him every day and what he must have felt and saw. I think about you all in England frequently and have visited your country 10 times in the last 20 years. I always go to St Paul’s and visit the little memorial to us Americans, behind the alter. I tear up every single time . I served 7 years in our Air Force it was the least I could do to honor my grandpas who all served so that we may be free. God Bless you for being a young lady who appreciates theses wonderful, wonderful men.
At 6:12 England made an announcement for anyone who'd vacationed in Normandy to send their photos! That, along with recon flights, is how those sand table maps were so accurate!
Ingenious!
Awesome review!!! Robert "Popeye" Wynn was my Gt. Uncle and I cry when Winters talks about him too.....
He passed shortly after taping his interview didnt he?
Hi Richard, You must be so proud of your great uncle. What an amazing Gentleman
I have watched Band of Brothers so many times over the years and still enjoy it .
It makes me appreciate the sacrifices the special generation did so we could have freedom today. God Bless to your Uncle and all the Men of Easy company RIP Mike North Wales GB
@@johnmagill3072 yes he did sadly. He was the first one that was interviewed for the series. He did not talk allot about things but my father said he told him he thinks he survived it all because he remained mentally strong. He was an iron worker when he came home and fell off a bridge and landed on a barge below. That messed him up for quite a while. My grandmother which was his sister has a pair of wooden shoes that have Arnhem Sept. 44 written in pencil on them. He broughr his footlocker home but the vehicle that was carrying it was involved in a bad accident and it was never returned. I wonder if he had any "souvenirs"
He sounded liked a wonderful man. Strong and dedicated character. Imaging apologizing for getting hit, cause you thought you let your buddies down. My great uncle served in the Army during WWII. He never once talked about it. I know he was a Sgt. That's all I know. Must-have seen some nasty stuff. He drank pretty heavy for a long time. Was a car dealer after the war.
@@johnmagill3072 your Gt. Uncle was part of the Greatest Generation. Im afraid the people of this country have no idea how great this place is because of these heroes.......
Nothing in the world hits me in the feels like an old man crying.
Being a vet I can't help but welling up and chuckling everytime I listen to these men . Godbless you will be missed.
THE RETURN!!!
Of the grandest of Julietes, to the greatest tv series.
These interviews were gold... I only wish it would've been a series of it's own. It felt way to short for me.
By the end of the series I would start tearing up at the opening theme song. These guys go through a lot.
Currahee! ❤️
These were so good! Honestly, your watch of The Pacific and BoB actually brought me to tears. Especially the scene where Eugene breaks down on the hunting trip and just can't do it. That wrecked my heart. These shows were so flippin good.
there is a reason these men are called THE GREATEST GENERATION - they saved the world, simple as that
They also put it in that situation so eh
PasoFreak I would paraphrase Mickey the Bullterrier: What??? Say what you mean. Why so terse and cryptic?
My mother was in Canadian Army Itelligence. She worked with the First Canadian Parachute Battalion, who also jumped into Normandy. Some of them trained with the Americans to form the first special forces unit. They eventually, over the years became the American navy seals, green berets, and the Canadian Joint Task Force Two.
Great Uncle was at Ypres WWI; Grandfather landed on D Day and served the rest of WWII through to 1946; Father served 39 years including Malaya during the emergency; I served 9 years including multiple tours of Northern Ireland, one of the first into Kosovo, and some time in Iraq.
Grandad spoke little about his time and he passed before I was old enough to realise how much I wished I'd asked him. One thing that sticks in my mind was that during my time I was sat chatting to two WWII veterans about 2000, they were selling poppies outside a supermarket, dressed in their regimental blazers. One was Parachute Regiment, the other SAS. One of them had several fingers missing. We spoke for a while, I already had time in Northern Ireland and had not long come back from the first tour in Kosovo. I was humbled into silence when one of them said 'I don't know how you do it. When we were in, we knew who the enemy were. It was easy. It's all different now, not as easy as it was for us.' With a tear or two starting to build in my eyes, I shook their hands, thanked them for what they did and walked away in stunned silence.
I've heard similar things said by all generations that have served. Those that have genuinely seen action rarely if ever use the word 'I' to describe what happened, it's always 'we', and rarely will such people claim they did anything exceptional.
The line that I think best encapsulates the humble nature of many veterans comes from this series, one of the interview pieces of one of the actual members of Easy Company talking about his grandchild who asked 'Grandad were you a hero during the war?', to which he replied 'No, but I knew a few'.
Likewise, there is a list of names I carry inside, its about 20 long, I don't want to know the exact number, people no longer with us, whether having been killed as a result of enemy action, or having suffered the effects of their service that they couldn't deal with it anymore. Those are the ones I think about anytime I'm feeling sorry for myself. We who live are the lucky ones. Anything we gave is insignificant compared to what they gave.
If I could recommend one thing only to watch, it would be 'Warriors' a two part british made mini series about 'modern day' military service, covering Northern Ireland and Former Yugoslavia. Just about one of the most powerful things I've ever seen and worthy of a mention.
It has Damian Lewis in it too, and a lot of british stars before they were stars. I've not seen Warriors for a while but that show is brilliant, the actor Matthew Macfadyen nearly severed his finger in one scene where he smashes a bus stop with a wheelie bin, but kept going with blood running down his arm.
When you give that smile, It's like a silent confirmation of a feeling I get that can't be shared with words.
I’m a U.S. Marine Combat Veteran, I served in the more modern conflicts and did not have the honor or privledge to stand alongside these true warriors. I can also say, without any doubt, that I did not see war at the same level of violence or kinetic pace that they did, not even close.
Having said all that, the scene of them putting on their rucks before boarding that transport really really hit home. That time, before a fight and as you prepare, is a time a miss very much. Just the conversations and interactions you have. Your all scared and you’ve only got each other to lean on. It makes a bond I’m sure everyone has heard about but, despite so many people being aware of it, I still can’t fully put into words.
The word “Boys” is the one word that rings out. “ok Boys, Gear up”…..”Ok boys, get ready to roll we’re Oscar Mike in 5”
A surprise to be sure but a pleasant one.
A bunch of heroes. I love these men.
There is a good documentary about Richard Winters called Hang Tough, narrated by Damien Lewis. Worth a watch.
LAXMASTER022 they couldn’t have found a better actor to play Richard Winters than Damian Lewis.
I read Dick Winters' book, his war memoir, "Beyond Band of Brothers," available on Amazon, very good. In England whenever the guys went to the pubs he stayed behind and studied his manuals to be sure he would be ready to lead them, he was so worried he would miss something and be responsible for someone getting killed. And that documentary is on Amazon Prime, I am going to watch it, thanks for telling me about it.
My father was in the 82nd Air Borne in WW II and I was in Vietnam . I have watched your whole series and you have my utmost respect
After you studied this so much I know that you and I know what others don't . GOD BLESS YOU
Glad you’re back, love your reaction to band of brothers, it’s my favourite show ever!!
They were men. May our generation raise up such as these before too long.
That topographical information came from civil and commercial surveying flights and aerial photography that the British started in the mid 1930's to map as much of Europe as possible (and sell those maps to the respective countries, keeping copies for themselves). Then, during the war they would send Photo recon planes over to update their information. (The PR planes were generally unarmed and modified for greater speed, range and altitude.) This is actually one of the great untold stories of the war - the Intelligence advantage gained was pivotal in so many ways to the Allies. One most famous case of a critical update was the British PRU unit discovery of the Rocket Research base at Peenemunde in the Baltic. It basically did not exist pre -939. But was a major installation by 1941. And in 1942 they spotted the first rockets and missiles there.
I'm so glad you chose to react to this one.You Tube has been teasing me with this for a couple of days. Your reactions are priceless. Thank you.
This was a great series. The Lieutenant Speirs scene where he jumps over the wall. Unbelievable.
Hello, I am German and I always try to be de-spant. All times for us are really tough. Thank you for your mency
The day will come when all of the veterans from these wars will be gone. It's amazing we have these videos that were made in their honor. I always tear up when watching stuff like this. Understanding the horror they went is something I will never experience. Having 2 combat vets in my family from Korea and Vietnam it brings stuff like this home to you. By making this video you are not only doing justice to these brave men but to all branches and different countries involved that fought on those beaches and fields that day.
I know that Stephen Spielberg and Tom Hanks had a special reunion with surviving members of Easy Company as they watched Band of Brothers.
These are the kind of men we need today in leadership of this country, unfortunately we have nothing like them in Washington.
It gives me great satisfaction to see someone your age, that appreciates the great sacrifice these men made. The debt can never be paid in full!
As many reactors that have been told to watch this, only you and one other have reacted to this wonderful last episode.
I'm almost speechless, such a beautiful soul from a young woman. I'm subed for life. Keep it up girl.
You do a nice job darling, doing credit to these stone cold American heroes. Raised by that generation, seen my own wars. Thanks for recognizing how utterly amazing those old guys were.
I'm sure if you asked the pilots they would say the Paratroopers had it rough. What you don't know is more scary than what you do know.
If you have time, there is one more video (on RUclips) that would be interesting to watch: Ron Livingston (Nixon) was told to record parts of the 10 day training camp that most of the actors had to go through. It is less than an hour, has some humor and shows the actors bonding together, developing their characters and learning some of what it meant to become a soldier. You also get to see Nixon’s real wife, Grace. Highly recommended!
4:01 I LOVE your insight into the disassociation we have when looking at B&W photos compared to colorized. Spot on!
Folks, that is NOT a colorized photo. That is a Kodachrome color photo. Kodak made Kodachrome color film commercially available in 1935 and many, many color shots were taken during the war.
A little of the original Camp Tocoa still exists, as part of a National Guard training area. Currahee has a plaque installed at the top, an Honor to the courage of the first Paratroops.
It's been ages but the video diary that Ron Livingston made as they prepared to film is highly entertaining 🤣 it's pretty easy to find on the RUclips as I recall. That has the actors & boot camp, etc
Love these reaction videos. I also hope someday that there comes a modern look at the 442nd Regimental Infantry Team, their story of saving the lost battalion is incredible, They were an all Japanese American regiment, and the most decorated single group of soldiers in US history. Not downplaying the things Easy Company went through, or their importance, they were.
So good to see you back 😊
Thanks, Juliette. I really enjoyed Band of Brothers...just a wonderful series! But for me, too, the best part was to hear the words of the actual Easy Company soldiers, describing their experiences. I am glad that you and your generation can appreciate their stories also, because heroism never goes out of style!
It’s good to see this, I enjoyed the initial reactions of yours above any others.
That's really nice to hear!
Yay, you’re back! Hope things are well!
Great to see you active again. I hope life is treating you well.
Its so nice to see you active again. best wishes.
Good to see you again Juliette! Enjoy your videos so much
Glad you're back
That's an important thing that I sometimes forget about when thinking about the WWII veterans: they had grown up during the Great Depression. They had already experienced eleven kinds of hardship as kids. Maybe that's what prepared them for almost unbelievable difficulties that they were about to face in the war.
It’s funny…you asked about how the allies got a hold of topographical maps from which to make a full-scale model. “You can’t really send over a drone.” True that. Part of the unfortunate reality was that the allies got a lot wrong working from black and white reconnaissance photos - specifically, the terrain in Normandy called “the hedgerows”. The hedgerows looked like short shrubs from the photos, but they were much older, much more impenetrable than intelligence officers knew. It turned out to be a huge mess, as the Wehrmacht made good use of the hedgerows throughout Normandy, turning each small pasture into veritable fortresses. It was damn difficult fighting for weeks after D-Day.
Late, but the map of Normandy was pieced together by analysts. The British government had newspapers ask for any and all photos from people who had vacationed in France recently (and not telling them it was for a map, but for some story about France). From the various pictures, they figured out the perspectives, overlaps, scale, etc.
They are all gone now. For the Fallen-
Stand down now good and faithful servants. Your long watch is over. We have the Conn now. Go rest high on that mountain brothers. Be at ease, Rest in Honored Peace. Go forth and war no more. God's Speed and God bless. Prayers for your families and friends. Prayers for those still on watch. Fair Winds and Following Seas Brothers.
And one more time this old Doc whispers,
Semper Fi........
You are very mature and it is pleasant to see how you react. You seem so respectful and interested. Something I wish more people were...
Glad to find your vids again!
Awesome that you watch and get emotional over what these guys 'The Greatest Generation' did in fighting against our enemies at the time Juliette 👍🇺🇸
I had the rare honers to meet a ww2 veteran who was a German who left Germany during world war 2 left his country to fight for us American's he was discriminated against called a traitor to his nation
, but i still solitude him and thanked him his name was Keith and even tho he has passed i still salute him it takes a man to stand against what is wrong and to stand against evil mau his soul rest in peace
He fought for us even thru discrimination and was put in a regiment of gemans
Love that youre back..and apparently even more beautiful than before...thats not fair
What's so amazing about Band of Brothers is that it was 10 episodes.... and in those 10 episodes, unfolds perhaps the greatest piece of WWII media of all time. Truly fantastic! The only series I've seen in recent times that I feel meets the same mark of quality and authenticity was *HBO'S Chernobyl. I would really love to see you react to that! It's only 5 episodes!*
I absolutely NEED to watch that.
@@JulietteReacts yes, you do. It can be a bit tough, but after you've seen Bob, the Pacific, and now you're completing the trifecta with Generation Kill, I think you'll be able to handle it. It's been one of history's most underplayed events of heroism and selflessness until recently where HBO brought it to the masses. I've been fascinated by the accident since 2009, so I'm glad the event is getting the attention it deserves. I can't wait to see your reactions! Meanwhile, I'll be keeping in touch with your viewing of Generation Kill!
I'm sure that I am not the first person to say this but, there is a definite reason why these people were called the greatest generation. They were putting their lives on the line whereas these days we have people whining about mean words on the internet.
Glad you are doing this BoB thing again
Folks, at 4:08...that is NOT a colorized photo, but a photo taken with Kodachrome color film from Kodak. Kodachrome became available in 1935. After you have seen a few dozen Kodachrome prints, you can tell one a mile away by the deep and distinct colors that excellent film produced.
YEEEEEEEES FINALLY. LOVE YOU.
thank you for this and your cat is beautiful
❤️❤️❤️ your reactions
OMG YOUR BACK!!!!
I love your reactions- if you’d like to see more behind the scenes of the show you’d definitely like Ron Livingston’s video diary
My favorite B of B personality, Capt. Nixon. So real, so flawed, but so there!
Those pictures were not colorized, color photography was actually quite popular in World War II, and a good deal of the European and Pacific War was filmed with color film, but when processed it was changed to black and white in order to hide the actual graphic nature of War. On a personal comment, I would like to say thank you from an American to a Brit, It's not often you see a person under the age of 60 who appreciate the sacrifices that the greatest generation made for us. We Stand Alone Together...
These men are not voice actors ,these are real ww2 vets, their characters are portayed in Band of Brothers.
That's not actually a colourized image at 4:25 but an authentic colour photograph. Colour film existed since the 1930's for consumers to purchase.
Finally, someone else caught this too. Thanks.
Info on the landscape would have come from smuggled maps, local intel (the resistance), and a few very brave pilots, flying modified aircraft like the Spitfire Mk.PRXI (PR = Photo Recon). Extra fuel, absolutely no weapons on board (lighter, faster), and cameras mounted behind little windows. Painted blue, they hoped to blend with the sky. When spotted, they ran. A lot didn't make it, even with the extra speed.
I believe that was when stereoscopic photography was used to create 3-d images, also.
Some of those photo recce Spitfires were painted pink as that worked better at dawn and dusk.
A friend of mine once told me a story of man who was killed next to him in Afghanistan, when he got hit he asked them to forgive him for dying and my friend said to him “you have nothing to be sorry for” he looked at him and said “yes I do, I won’t have your backs anymore” he then gave his letter to my friend to his mother and died a few minutes later
your reaction is my reaction when I watch BoB and the documentary
I worked with Dick Winters niece (Midge) for several years just as caring and down to earth as Dick
Tracers are bullets that light up after being shot. These are used at night so you can see where you are hitting. The bad things about tracers is the enemy can know where you are shooting from.
I could have listened to Shifty ,Lipton and Bill talk forever
Love your Cats!
The scale maps were interesting because they needed to make 3 dimensional models of the beaches so the planners and troops would know how high or low certain areas were and such. They had planes with 2 cameras mounted high and low times to take pictures simultaneously on the plane, and they'd fly tons of sorties basically strafing parallel to the beach. When the pictures came back they could match the two different pictures that the cameras took to get an idea of topography.
Your in for one hell of a ride
weeee more band of brothers, hello again beautiful. XD mmmmmmm Redhead!! if thats your natural hair you're definitely a winner xoxox
With all the interest lately in WWII movies; “Saving Private Ryan”, “Hacksaw Ridge”, “Band of Brothers” etc... I would like to see your reaction to one of the FIRST WWII TRUE STORIES, “To Hell and Back” (1955). Not only is it a true story of the MOST DECORATED soldier in WWII, but the staring role is played by Audie Murphy himself. Yes, there is a big difference in movie making styles from 1955 to the 21st century, but the story telling is just as exciting.
Please try to work this true story of (and by) an American Hero into your reaction schedule.
As far as learning all the topical information. The allies flew thousands of recon missions and a team in England put it all together. There are documentaries that detail that effort. Just know it was vast and emphasized detail.
The best show ever! Period!
The famous leg bags worked fine for the British and Canadians. The U.S felt they didn't need any training on how to use them. So they made the mistake of overloading them and jumping out of a plane that was moving too fast.
So you physically punish yourself training for 5 months, fly through flak in the dark, jump out behind enemy lines getting shot at, land on powerlines, trees and church steeples, cut yourself down, grab your rifle and now you go looking for a fight against tanks, bunkers, machine gun nests and artillery weapons. Yep, I would say those 'boys' became men that day. In their interviews later in life, I noticed every one of them had a sensitivity, a sense of humor and an air of quiet confidence about them that I'm sure came from their shared experiences in the war.
Your cat looks just like mine! 😎❤️🌹
6:08 Yes they managed to get all that information by flying over but also members of British Intelligence would have men sneak in and get samples of the terrain and bring it back to England and even had people who visited France while on vacation before the war send their family pictures and post cards of the area to them. They did all of this because the raid on Dieppe, France in 1942 was a disaster because of the terrain and beaches they landed on. History nerd out sorry. lol
Don't be sorry! That's damn Interesting! And kinda ingenious.
I’m pretty sure that photo wasn’t colorized. It had color from the moment it was taken. They did have color photos back then. It was the 40s; not the Stone Age. They just cost a lot to make.
Spot on Paul. It was a Kodachrome color print. You can spot them a mile away.
Juliette, I hope you know that all of those old men are the real men of EZ Company and almost all of them have died since they filmed Band of Brothers. Correction, all of them have passed away.
Hey there stranger! Lol
I really like your headphones..... Really suit to your skin tone and readhead kinda hair..
God bless you lass.
The RAF had daily recon flights over the entire coastline gathering that information.
You look great!
Lt. Spiers likes this video 👍
Hi Juliette, I want to use your genuine reaction of the "coloured" photos as apart of my lesson in media literacy, if that's alright with you. I feel that your reaction and explanation of your own perception towards the colourised photos compared to the black and white photos demonstrate how the language of media alters how the audience negotiates the meaning of the medium - that a simple change in color can redefine how a medium is analyzed.
Sure :)
Except that that particular photo at 4:08 was NOT colorized, but an actual color print from Kodachrome color film.
Actually I could have listened to all of them talk forever
Just for a laugh you have to watch the Vlog by Ron Livingston. I'm pretty sure it's on here, but that's exclusively with the actors
I've been wondering, since you've seen band of Brothers and the pacific, if you were planning on watching generation war or as it is in german unser mutter unser vater. Its a good 3 part mini series from the German perspective definitely worth the watch
I very much am. After Generation Kill.
@@JulietteReacts Thank you so much, I always look forward to your content.
The last things men call for is a Medic and Mother
yeah, I understand that fear, I HATE HATE HATE Heights!! I would have only worried about getting out rather than getting shot.
HOLY SHIIITTT
