- Hey guys, Danny and Niamh back again with our reaction to Masters of the Air Part Six.
We're still buzzing from THAT ending. It was so amazing. This whole episode was so interesting and the focus on Bucky, Rosie, and Crosby really helped to understand these guys so much more. We loved this one and hopefully you'll enjoy our reaction.
We are uploading new reactions to Masters of the Air every Wednesday until the end of the series so subscribe to the channel if you haven't already and you want to see those.
Thank you all so much for watching, feel free to leave your thoughts down below! We appreciate all the amazing love and support that you continue to show us.
OLD ARMY GUY HERE I CRIED WHEN WE SAW BUCK BECAUSE I WAS IN A SITUATION WHEN I WAS OVERSEAS MY BEST FRIEND WAS MISSING FOR 3 DAYS AND WHEN I SAW HIM I WAS SO HAPPY AND RELIEVED I HAD THE SAME FACE AND SMILE BUCKY HAD AND ALL THAT CAME FLOODING BACK....WHAT A GREAT EPISODE HANG TOUGH GUYS OLD ARMY GUY OUT
Bucky in the last 3 episodes: 😡😡😡
Buck: ***Breathes***
Bucky: 😡😠😐🙂😀😄😆🥹
“Here’s mud in your eye” is Bucky basically saying he’ll win. It’s an old horse racing phrase as the winning horse often kicks mud in the eye of those behind him.
Great reaction guys!
It’s more classically a biblical reference, Jesus puts mud in the eyes of a blind man, when he wipes it off he can see again. It’s a weird way of wishing for good health,
My favorite moment, besides the obvious at the end, is Subaltern AM saying that they only reason *anyone* is dying in this war is because of Hitler and his thugs. It’s a great reset of perspective. And that German interrogator reminds me of Herr Flick from “‘Alo, ‘Alo”.
Harry Crosby is the narrator from the very beginning. Also about us, the audience being kept in the dark about Buck (love the reaction by the way--I did the same thing!), the series successfully showed us how those soldiers felt when their mates were either MIA, dead, or captured as POW. We went through all the emotions that Bucky went through (specifically, not knowing) that's why when he smiled at the end seeing Buck, I'm like, "Same, Bucky. Same!"😭 And oh, Crank is also alive and some of the guys from his crew!
In regards to the young lady with Crosby, I believe the reason she was so vague as to what she did, and this is just a guess on my part, I believe she worked at bletchley park as a codebreaker
I was thinking either that or she is somehow connected to the SOE.
Ooooooh this is so interesting!!
Crosby writes that she gave him a vague answer and he didn't press her on it because it just wasn't done to ask more quaestions. Lose lips sink ships and all that.
My suspicion is that unlike Rosie and his boys Crosby got a personal therapist. Regardless of which it is the actress made a big impact with minimal screen time. Shame there are only 9 episodes, I'd like to see her character again.
The mob attack that you saw was the Rüsselsheim massacre. The incident happened on August 26, 1944, two days after a Consolidated B-24 Liberator bomber of the United States Army Air Forces was shot down by heavy anti-aircraft fire over Hanover. All nine crew members of the aircraft (2nd Lt. Norman J. Rogers, Jr., pilot; 2nd Lt. John N. Sekul, copilot; F/O Haigus Tufenkjian, navigator and bombardier; Sgt. William A. Adams, nose gunner, S/Sgt. Forrest W. Brininstool, top turret gunner and flight engineer; S/Sgt. Thomas D. Williams Jr., radio operator; Sgt. William A. Dumont, belly gunner; Sgt. Sidney E. Brown, tail gunner; Sgt. Elmore L. Austin, waist gunner) parachuted to the ground, where they were captured and held by German Luftwaffe personnel. Unable to transfer the downed aircrewmen to a prisoner-of-war camp due to the train tracks being heavily damaged by bombing the night before, they forced the Americans to march through the devastated town of Rüsselsheim to catch another train. The townspeople, already angered by damage caused to their town by a Canadian bombing raid the previous night on the Opel automobile factory, which was manufacturing airplane parts during the war, attacked the unarmed crew members with rocks, hammers, sticks, and shovels, killing six of them.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C3%BCsselsheim_massacre can read more about it here
Thank you for sharing this, we’re always interested to learn more!
no it wasn't. still not D-Day in the show yet
@@tripsaplenty1227 that is true but it has been confirmed that the scene depicted here is based on that massacre so the information I have is correct about what the event was about
@@jacobdragonblood1217
confirmed by who? scene still can't depict that event even if it was inspired by the event. timeline just doesn't work.
It was not uncommon for Allied aircrews to be met on the ground by very hostile locals who didn't take kindly to getting bombed. Downed Airmen often lived or died by how hostile the locals happened to be. There was more than one massacre of Airmen and there were also instances of German police/military protecting captured Airmen from lynch mobs.
@@tripsaplenty1227 literally every source i have come across when i want to know the background for that scene says it was a fictionalized inspiration of the Rüsselsheim massacre, so yes like i said the scene depicted here was based on that massacre
also yes i am aware of other massacres and i am aware it was not uncommon for aircrews on the ground to be met by hostile locals, i am aware of all of that but that is not the topic here so i don't know why you brought that up as that doesn't add or remove anything about my point
I will say, I love what they have done with Buck Cleavin. Its the unknown that they have given the audience. ITs a small taste of what they truly went through in WW2.
When a plane went down, you had no ide if a man was dead like Kurt, in the hands of the resistance like Bailey and Quinn, or a POW, like we know from history so many ended up. If there were only some parachutes, you had no idea who was under them.
That unknown for us, is what they are trying to convey, in the smallest way that we would, as viewers, understand what they had daily in WW2.
Its a brilliant piece of story telling, that is helping make this show so freaking fracking brilliant
ABSOLUTELY ‼️
You’re so right, the anxiety and relief we felt is barely a fraction of the real experience. It’s so beautifully done
"what took you so long?" was what Buck Cleven actually said when John Egan arrived in stalag luft 3. Its one of the things he's famous for.
Funny story: stalag luft 3 housed only air force POWs and was therefor a bit more humane than other pow camps - although my RAF great uncle was killed there. The most senior US airforce officer there was a bigadier general. He was an observer on a B17 that was hit and had its flares set on fire, filling the plane with smoke. The crew advised him to bail out, which he did, but the crew then found the smoking flares and threw them out of the plane after the bigadier general. Then they flew back to england without the brigadier general they started with. Ive always wonder ed how the debrief session went when they got back and had to explain they dropped bombs and a brigadier general on the germans.
That’s wild
Robert Rosenthal, like the majority of the 550k Jewish-Americans who served in the US Armed Forces, felt a very personal connection to the war. As the reports and rumors, of what was happening in Europe, hit way too close to home. Rosie hinted at it when talking to the doctor, about fighting for those who cannot fight for themselves. Which is why it was so important for the narrative to have Egan, and the captured airmen, see that train of Jewish women and children.
funnily enough Buck and Bucky were at the transit camp at the same time a few doors down from each other but never realised
No way!
I heard from another podcast that Crosby wrote about the British lady after his wife died. Like he came out about it to the public. I can understand why he wouldn't have mentioned her to his wife.
Bucky was so happy to see Buck alive that he didn't even say one word after seeing him! 🥲
They’re so cute I can’t
The Luftwaffe Interrogaters were very smart in their techniques and the way he spoke to bucky was very accurate from historical accounts. the way they got information without the prisoner realising they gave the information was an art form in itself. The was one well known account of a POW being given his file by an interrorgator and he opened it up and went white as a sheet. inside his file the germans had was a copy of all his high school report cards from america.
Rosenthal was a qualified lawyer in civilian life and jewish so i love these conversations he was having with the Doctor. you can sort of see the Lawyer come out.
The reference of "Tracy or Gable," was referring to Actors Spencer Tracy and Clark Gable. Both men were very popular actors during and after World War II.
Clark Gable as served as as gunner in the 95th Bomb Squad of the 8th Air Force.
I have a sneaking suspicion that subaltern Westgate’s station is at Bletchley Park
For those who haven't see it, you should watch the movie: The Imitation Game (2014) which focuses on Alan Turing and the codebreakers.
The German officer interviewing Buck was extremely realistic. Most people thought you'd be tortured for information but the Luftwaffe had a different approach of "you get more files with honey" tactic. The Allies had many German aircrew so the Germans kept "for the most part" decent care of allied airmen just incase there was an exchange. Later in the war the Gestapo would take control of some of the POW camps and they were much more brutal and fanatical.
Crosby was doing an impression of Tracey from the movie test pilot a late 1930's movie which inspired many to join the air force
Ahhh thank you for this info!!
That song on guitar was an actual song from the time
Buck Cleven did actually say that to Egan when he saw him "what took you so long"
I saw an interview with a man from the 100th who said that the higher ups wanted to remove men who were starting to display mental struggles as soon as they could because the stress was contagious and they didn't want it to spread to the rest of the group. I'm sure they were concerned for their mental health first but that makes total sense too.
the character of sandra was real in the ATC but her name was changed at behest of her family. Real name was Alexandra Wingate "landra" for short.. The way her role is alluded too is likely a Bletchley park codebreaker or linked to it. A role so secretive wasnt declassified till decades after the war.
Awesome reaction of my favorite episode of Masters Of The Air!!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Girl, your reaction was everything when you saw Buck , love your discussion at the end
Such an amazing moment!
Hi if your two haven't already seen them, I have two movie recommendations for pertaining to the Two Bucks being in the Prison Camp.
1. The Great Escape (1963). This event occurred in the camp where the Bucks are imprisoned, but was primarily confined to the British section of the Camp. It was made in the 1960's and had an impressive all star cast for the time: Steve McQueen, James Garner, Richard Attenborough, and Charles Bronson to name a few...
2. Stallag 17 (1953). This a more fictional movie, but was a great look into what life was like for the POW's in Germany in WWII. The premise is an American POW who is running the Black Market in a German POW Camp is accused by the other Prisoners of being an informant after two fellow prisoners are killed trying to escape.
We’re always looking for recommendations, thank you!!!
It has been said that Rosenthal was a New York Jew, so he knew something about antisemitism and the war wasa avery personal thing for him The line about not standing by when others are being persecuted against and unable to defend themselves.éé It reveals how personally committed he is and rensentful about being removed from the line while he is in his rhythm.
Exactly…. people forget how bad the antisemitism in NYC was in the 1930s. Being Jewish myself, I burst out crying when Rosie hinted at what was happening to the European Jews. If he was not in that plane, who was going to fight for them? It is something many Jewish-Americans who fought in the European theater felt.
The closest thing to a "complaint" that I could have is that I can't seem to find the music from Bucky's arrival at Luft-Stalag III included in the OST. I love watching and listening to that scene so much. I do know the history, I know that they were going to meet up again in the camp, and it still makes me so damn happy.
Been waiting for this! About to watch; again thank you both for letting us experience watching it all over again, with friends beside us this time.
That’s what reaction videos are all about, so happy you could join us in watching this incredible show ❤️
It’s so cool watching you’re reactions, you guys do a great job. I’m about a 4 hour drive north of Manitowaoc Wisconsin, where Bucky’s from. Amazing to see this series and people responding to it.
Amazing series so far. Ive been waiting for this for years! My mothers Uncle was a Ball Turret Gunner (under the belly of the bomber) in the 381st bomb group 532nd Squad. My mothers uncle went in on a bombing raid March 24th 1944 into Germany and became a POW that day due to having 2 of the 4 engines were knocked out and some of the nose damaged. This damage kept them from keeping up with the rest of the Bombers heading back over to England. So while my mothers uncles B17 pulled out of formation the pilots kept control of the Bombers and limped it across Germany then through France ( which was still being held by the Germans ) but could no longer fly anymore due to the damage sustained. They nursed the bomber as far they could hoping they can get across the channel and back to England ( which some B17’s that were heavily damaged did make it across) but to no avail on this day . So they had to crash land in the French countryside , the French resistance got their before the German Patrols and quickly rounded up whom they could , 4 of the 10 man crew escaped with them and hid for months , the other 5 were captured eventually including my mothers uncle. He spent the rest of the war in Stalag Luft 1 POW CAMP. You also need to realize that the German Fighters had 20 or 30 MM rounds being shot at those bombers , where as we were only shooting back at them with 50 caliber rounds , if the bombers got hit with those 20 mill rounds it would go through like a hot knife through butter. God bless these young men who fought and died for this country
She is the cutest. Don't change
Ahahahaha thank you 🙏
You guys should check out the Masters of the Air podcast!!! Its awesome, the lastest episode had the 2 directors of this episode and Anthony Boyle who plays Harry Crosby all said that the "flak houses" or Mansions in England where they would send the Airmen to rest were well meaning but nobody liked going there. It just is what it is, you don't need to be processing all of the death, shitty feelings, and realizations in between missions at somepoint the war will end is the reality they all lived in. So they felt if they made it than they have their whole lives to be with their thoughts, but everyday that goes by more people are were getting loaded onto trains and most of the men just wanted to keep flying missions to finally get themselves shot down or make it to 35 since they eventually changed the minimum flights for a full tour from 25 to 30 and then 30 to 35. Command felt they couldn't afford to lose their most experienced pilots as the crews started getting more and more missions under their belt. Its crazy their not gonna have enough time to show us all the major points the 100th went through. Man I wish this was a 2 or 3 season show when they started💯
Niamh here - I LOVE a podcast so thank you for the rec ❤️ will be checking this out
Laughing at 20:52. The “intelligence” guy… “he seemed clever” … 😂😂
Everyone cry when you see Buck is still alive. And NOW we know why they left that question unanswered for 2 episodes. I love the reaction/review you two provide.
Still crying
No way to really know, but the two German farmers who caught Bucky may very well have been World War One veterans.
Another great reaction. I loved your reaction to seeing Buck at the end; so sweet. The scene of the people crammed into the train on its way to a concentration camp was really disturbing. It haunted me for days. I'm looking forward to your next reaction. (Great crack.)
Always good craic here, laughing through the tears 😭
Good heavens I love your reactions..... you got me crying 😢 Looking forward to Part 7 reaction ‼️
Thank you!!! We are having so much fun but this is emotional torment 😂😂 Can’t wait to see part 7 ❤️
Just a fantastic series here, and thanks for sharing the reactions with us! It's completely different than BOB and The Pacific, but it's so well done! I'm just glad Hanks and Spielberg actually finally did this show after announcing it in 2013. What a tribute to these brave men of the 8th Airforce. 🇺🇸
We’re so grateful that you watched and commented, the series truly IS fantastic and it’s been amazing to share the experience with other fans!! BOB and The Pacific have been on Danny’s watch list for me for a while, we will be getting to them both in the future ❤️
@@CoyzyMovieNight Oh my, I can't wait to watch those reactions with you both! Band of Brothers is probably the absolute best series of anything, I've ever watched and the Pacific is solid also. You won't be disappointed but I will warn you on the Pacific, it is absolutely brutal so be prepared going in! You both are such a delight and look forward to seeing the rest of this series with you and the other two that Spielberg and Hanks did as well. Much love and respect all the way from Peachtree city GA 🇺🇸
@@Jbryan23 I’m truly so excited to get to them! Diving into the war genre has been so interesting for me (Niamh here btw 😂) so I can’t wait to see more. I’m glad you’re enjoying the series as much as we are, I hope you enjoy the rest!!!! Thank you again for your support, it means so much ❤️ much love right back to you
Too bad it shits on the RAF and it's men again and again. Par for the course with these Spielberg/Hanks productions.
To add to the comment below, it was not an isolated incident. I have read about more then one hanging of USAAF Personnel.
The British soldiers/airmen always complained that the Americans were "Over paid, over sexed, and over here." The Americans' retort was that the British were "Under paid, under sexed, and under Eisenhower."
I shed a tear too at that ending! Buck alive!!!!
28:16 that was it. That was the reaction I was looking for. ❤😎
Ahahahaha glad you enjoyed our emotional breakdown 😊❤️
I was told the men were sent to a Flaak House after 15 missions. I think that was too long to wait. It's clear battle performance declined for psychological reasons too. Perhaps the rules changed with experience. Our men who are gone were the sacrificial lambs/guinea pigs of new warfare.
They end up in stalg luft III a very famous camp in british history of WW2
Coombe house still exists. Its a special school i think
When you’re done with the series. Read up about ‘Rosie’ a truly amazing man.
We 100% will be!!
Look at the date of the prison camp.October 1943. The ETO war still has 17 months to go. IIRC the 101st Airborne of BoB fame is not in England yet,
Ah the scene in the bombed out city is an adaption of the russenheim massacre where 6 american POWS were murdered. while this likely didnt happen to Bucky it was a very real worry and threat for downed Allied airmen
"better not tout"
You from The North eh?
Excellent reactions !
Thank you!
Great reaction guys! 👍
Thank you for watching ❤️❤️❤️❤️
21:30 meanwhile...here's 1 example of how German POWs were treated in Canada ruclips.net/video/0bu5FUjpPu0/видео.html
Great reaction!
Glad you enjoyed ❤️ hoping you’re loving the show as much as we are
How does the German officer know these things? There was a large America First movement in the US in the '30s up till the US joined the second world war. They showed a strong preference for Germany and Hitler and were partly funded by Germany. This is similar to the current MAGA movement and Putin.
I would call this episode, danger to the mind, body and heart.
I would use this title for the whole series 😭
I'm an American fan of the music of the period. Here's 'Rosie's rhythm'. I think It's Buddy Rich on drums instead of Gene Krupa - Krupa played in Benny Goodman's band during the war. But as far as the story goes..I'm just 'trainspotting' with that stuff. 😉
ruclips.net/video/dTXLznuNAKI/видео.html
It's from the Chant by Artie Shaw
I am subscribing. I hope you will give Band of Brothers a try.
Danny is insistent that we will be getting to it in the future FOR SURE ❤️
google the name Hanns Scharf, he was a Interrogator, who was so good, the US brought him to America after the war to teach his tatics....he got his info with kindness
This is so interesting!!! Thank you for sharing
The interrogator in this episode was Ulrich Haussmann, who eventually defected to the USA towards the end of the war.
The interrogator was quite smart! He is based off of this individual: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanns_Scharff
Check out his postwar career.
Actually the interrogator was a real individual who studied at Columbia pre war
