Love how you guys actually listen and pay attention rather than just mug for the camera. Too many reactors ask questions that were already answered for them earlier in the episode. You two are sharp; keep up the great reactions.
It's the curse of the reaction channel. The reactor begins to act instead of reacting. There are a good number of channels I don't bother with for just that. Plus I saw our guy taking notes last episode. He's putting in the work, I love it.
@cardiac19 @meowiguess903 @williamdinkel2304 we appreciate you all & thank you for your support! This means a lot to us & we try our best to catch as much as we possibly can. Giving all of our attention is the least we can do! Much love to you all💙
I'm from Eindhoven. Old buildings in the area still have the holes from the fighting. To remember, not that they can't be repaired, of course that's no longer the case. Many places are called to american soldiers like the Joey Mann theatre in Best. Also in Limburg is a very large American cemetery Margraten. Very impressive. People have adopted the graves of unknown American soldiers so they can find peace. You must look to that pictures and videos.
If anyone was wondering, Homie on the left is looking down and taking notes of the show. Not looking at his cellphone like I thought at first. Mad respect +1 Sub
When the guy asks to be tapped when the green light comes on, he asks because he is color blind. He had to keep his color blindness a secret because if word had gotten out, he might not have been allowed to be a paratrooper.
"Quit looking at me like that! Am I alright??" Is one of my favorite moments. Between Winters and Nix, the care is there. Not bad for Nix, with bullet holes in his helmet, having never fired his weapon in combat. ♠
@@DaKidsReact not really, helmets were not made to protect from bullets but from falling debris caused by artillery strikes. The bullet actually went clean through the helmet, lucky for him, it was a grazing shot.
11:53 Several of the female collaborators did more than sleep with the Germans, as they also revealed who was working for the resistance. I remember reading that one woman lost three brothers and her father because they were snitched on. The women were lucky to get shaved; they should have been shot with the men, in my opinion. 21:20 Just some info on Winters (the guy who didn’t get his helmet shot off) and Nixon (the guy who did). Winters came from a poor family and needed to work his way through college. Nixon came from a rich family and attended Yale for two years before leaving to enlist in the Army. (Nixon's attending Yale comes up offhandedly in a conversation in a future episode.) Winters was a monkish introvert who read all the infantry manuals he could get his hands on. Nixon was a party animal who loved to drink. Winters was a field commander, while Nixon was in Intelligence, which meant that he helped translate the data received from the field into information that people could use. The pair met up during Officer Candidate School, and their friendship started from there. Love your reactions. Keep it up!
They strangely portray Cobb as kind of a cowardly asshole but just know in reality he was the only member of easy that had seen combat prior to Normandy. He served in Africa and survived having his troop transport torpedoed and sunk by a german u-boat. He was no punk and had put in work.
One thing American soldiers are known for is their interactions with kids. They often do a bit more in war torn countries for the kids than people realize. My unit, the ones that were stationed in country during Vietnam, helped with local orphanages. Many of the kids are citizens here as a result of their exposure to the American soldier and are grateful to this day. I sent a lot of candy to my husband when he was stationed in Iraq to pass out to the local kids. Along with school supplies we did as wives of his unit.
We thank you for your service & that’s amazing to hear! That side of it seems to always be left out but she is that even in times of chaos & war, we can still be humans!
The scene where David Webster gives the little boy some chocolate always hits me hard, when his father says "He never tasted chocolate". The war and the occupation of Holland disrupted life and supplies so much that an innocent child had never tasted chocolate. So sad. All the little things we take for granted, so many people lost.
"When the green light comes on, you could just tap me". The officer is colour blind. If the Regiment finds out, he'll be kicked out. So he orders a man to tap him on the shoulder instead of asking (No questions, no lies).
By the way, The 101st Airborne division was "on alert" the whole time they were resting and refitting in England (after D-Day). They were told SEVERAL times that they were to jump into this area or that battle only to have to stand down hours before they were to fly in. The German line kept collapsing so fast that the fights were always over before they could get involved. It was stressful and frustrating for the men of Easy Company (and all other companies).
The British military HQ had information about the German strength in and around Arnhem. Like said in this episode: just old men and children. The reality was that there were 2 tank divisions "resting"at the drop zone for Arnhem. There is also a movie called A bridge too far about this. In the week of September 17, the residents of Arnhem still reflect on what happened 80 years ago (this year).
My grandma was a kid when the germans occupied norway, they had soldiers camping in their garden, eating their food etc, was also given chocolate when the allied troops arrived. iirc the chocolate is hershey's chocolate, also the reason why they became so popular, since all the soldiers had been eating it during the war.
It's a common misconception that Nixon's helmet saved him... it did not, he was just lucky. Helmets were protection against falling debris and some ricochets. They would not protect from direct fire as demonstrated by Nixon's helmet having two bullets holes... an entrance and an exit. Had Nixon's head been between those holes he would likely be dead. As it happens, the shot was close but errant. Great reactions guys. I'm glad you are enjoying this.
@@DaKidsReact If you remember in Ep2 when Compton is crawling in the grass and someone asks him where headquarters are, that guy gets shot in the head right through the helmet like it's hot butter.
Blithe did not actually die of his wounds (I know this is not the Blithe episode, but as you mentioned it during your opening remarks...). The prior episode was wrong when it said he died of his wounds. Here is some more info. on him. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Blithe
A "unit citation" could be worn by ANYONE in that unit. Even replacements, as it was a mark of honour for the unit. Replacements could thereby show that they had the HONOUR of serving in such a unit even if they had not done anything heroic (yet).
Yes, although replacements who did not participate in the action could not wear the citation when they were not deployed with the unit. So the Normandy members of E-Company could keep their citations at all times, but the replacements would have to take it off when back home.
Hi guys, there’s a movie from the 70’s that deals with operation “Market Garden”. The movie is ‘A bridge too far’ and it is pretty good! You might want to check that out as well
If you're new to WW2 era lingo, the words "Jerry" and "Kraut" are names the Allies used in reference to the Germans. This is why in one episode when passing a dead German solider, one of the characters says "Don't wake Jerry". But the term Kraut is used more often. The British tended to call Germans "Fritz". The term Limey also shows up at least once, in Episode 10, but that is not a reference to the Germans, but to the British (who of course love to call Americans "Yanks").
Two of the tanks involved in this scene, the first one a Tiger tank, the second large one with a fixed gun (no turret) a Jagdpanther specifically designed to destroy other tanks were some of the most fearsome and hard to kill tanks at this time in the war. The infantry immediately fell back as there was absolutely nothing they could do. Hell, there wasn't anything the tanks could do either, especially in an urban setting seeing as our Sherman (with a 75mm gun) and the British Cromwell (also equipped with a 75mm gun) could not penetrate the frontal armor of either tank and would have to rely on flanking maneuvers to hit the side and rear armor where they were vulnerable. Absolutely horrifying to encounter.
14:28 I’m thankful that that was the first thing that came to mind, instead of just assuming and shaming, that something happened does not have to mean that it was wanted.
@@zombiewafle That's a myth. You're just more limited in terms of the jobs you can do in it. It's even been revealed as an advantage when discerning camo's around that time ; color blind are better at it since they're used to not rely on colors and the potential deception of it. And we're talking about the 40's here... if so many 17 yo were able to forge their documents to enlist themselves, let's say it probably wasn't that hard for colorblind either...
When Bull tells his soldier that "he won't be able to shoot as straight with the bayonet on," there is some truth to this. The dynamics of the M1 Garand rifle change; it may kick in a different direction.
A Presidential Unit Citation (PUC) is awarded to the unit not the men in the unit. Ribbons and badges worn on the LEFT breast are for individual achievement. The PUC is part of his uniform, as Miller is part of the unit.
4:21 The rules for wearing a Presidential Unit Citation all members of a receiving unit may wear the decoration while assigned to it, but only those assigned to the unit at the time of the action cited may wear the decoration as a permanent award, otherwise the decoration can only be worn temporarily. So that Private was entitled to wear it on his uniform since he was assigned to Easy Company but not through the rest of his career. I forget if it is for a period of time or as long as he is in Easy.
The women were being punished for what was called "horizontal collaboration." One of the reasons the Dutch felt so strongly about what the women were doing was the possibility that they could reveal information about the local resistance movement, which provided information to the Allies about German activities in the area. The German Gestapo would torture and execute members of the resistance.
15:40 Yeah, if I was in that situation and some local was shouting the word "Away! Away!" at me before slamming his window shut, I don't think I would confuse his reaction with "Hey, everything's cool! They've gone away!" Clearly, he wants _THEM_ to go away. He's looking out for his own interests (as everyone does), not theirs, and he doesn't want them to have their war in what is literally his back yard. Who would?
You guys do an amazing job of reacting to BOB. Make sure you also watch The Pacific, about the Marines. It will give you a whole new perspective of WWII.
There were two elite Waffen SS Armored Divisions fresh from heavy fighting on the Eastern Front against the Soviets, who were resting and refitting in Eindhoven....
The comment of 'Old men and boys' was an intelligence mistake. The allies had photographs of German SS tank divisions present in Holland, but the British general in charge, Montgomery, dismissed the information and refused to pass it down to the company commanders. The men actually on the ground didn't know to watch for tanks, so were unprepared for SS Panzer divisions and entrenched enemy forces.
Crazy how 1 highly advanced tank like the Panzer could turn the tide that easily. The Panzer had thicker armour, high velocity guns that could penetrate the US Shermans.
Apparently no one told you. Although this series is accurate they messed up big time with Blythe. He survived but didn't get out of the hospital until after the war was over so they thought he died. He served in Korea (late '40s and early '50s)
Don't worry, there is a bunch of people who just go around correcting that mistake in comments for BoB reactions. They could form their own facebook group.
The series is about 80% accurate. The wrong report of Blythe was a mistake but the others seem to be for dramatic effect. Most of the vets accounts I have read that saw the series have brought up inconsistencies with the actual occurrences. Regardless, this series is one of the best portrayals of WII.
I just found out that the real Babe Heffron is sitting a table during the liberation/celebration scene in Eindhoven. Classic stuff that Bill Guarnere teased him about afterward about being a big Hollywood star now!
About the British tank guy, it wasn't that he didn't listen. He had orders not to bomb the house. He says he believes him, but he's not allowed. An order is an order.
Been enjoying your reactions to this series! Nice to see a couple of Philly guys, like myself, enjoying this show. You should head down to South Philly and check out the statues of Babe Heffron and Bill Guarnere in the park at 2nd & Reed.
7:49 it took me YEARS to understand this. Watched this series over and over and over. He’s color blind. He doesn’t want anyone to know or he’d be out of the airborne. If they found out he could have been transferred elsewhere. Also love the use of drawlin’ at 14:25 lmfao
I appreciate y'all putting the explanation on screen at the beginning as to why you look down. I was one of the guys giving you shit for it.... I apologise! 😁
Fun fact about Unit Citations: They can continue to be worn for years and years. When I was in the army, part of our dress uniform included unit citations that our regiment earned invading Sicily in World War II. This was in the 2010s, obviously none of us had anything to do with that. So basically Cobb is just being an asshole here.
7:44 It isn't out of nervousness, he was color blind, so he doesn't know what light is green and red. He more than likely lied to get into the Army about his color blindness.
Knife vs mounted Bayonett, Bayonett wins basically every time. Reach, power and speed is basically identical. With a knife fight, if you are in range, you'll get hurt. If the other guy outranges you, it's over (unless they have absolutely no training and you get super lucky)
I can recommend two older movies for you two to watch: Patton (1970 ) and The Big Red One (1980). Patton is about the very skillful but difficult general who was a tank expert, and The Big Red One is about the Army First Infantry Division - in this movie, the actors portraying soldiers are close to the real ages of soldiers in WW2.
Battlefield 1941, old PC video game. Operation Market is the most difficult to win. It's basically a planned loss unless you can find a way to stop the German tanks. One way a video game got it right.
It was Cobb who said "I'm not going out there" - he's got a big mouth, but he's mostly talk, little action. His favorite thing to do seems to be picking on people he thinks can't/won't fight back.
We had some incredible men back then. Not without their flaws, but this show always makes me wonder if I could do that shit. It's easy to say you could, but you never know until you are in it. Luckily for we had some brave bad ass mofos around back then that will hopefully be the last American generation to fight in a world war.
Y'all gotta do the Pacific after this the Marines had it more worse the Japanese where fearless fight to the death what out a care my grandfather fought in the Pacific as a Marine and only talked once about it seen some crazy shit love the channel keep it up..
This video shows what the actors went thru to train for the movie, Capt Sink (Captain Dale Dye) ran the actor boot camp... ruclips.net/video/BtzSgr_ylBU/видео.htmlsi=XI7zVAuqgXchW4yz

he is definitely not a coward, a bit of a punk when he's drunk, probably because of PTSD during his time in North Africa.
Winters: "Never put yourself in a position to take from these men"
Buck: "Alright...I'll throw left handed then..." 🎯 😉
I've watched this series so many times, but never thought of that. Interesting..
And to think this would be the last time we see Buck so lighthearted and carefree

Great reaction channel. Subbed!
We appreciated you & WELCOME💙
Fun fact about Unit Citations: They can continue to be worn for years and years. When I was in the army, part of our dress uniform included unit citations that our regiment earned invading Sicily in World War II. This was in the 2010s, obviously none of us had anything to do with that. So basically Cobb is just being an asshole here.
It was Cobb that didn't want to go.. That's why they told him to shut up. Great rection gentlemen.
We appreciate you💙
@@DaKidsReact right back at you
great reaction dudes
We appreciate you💙
Can’t wait for you guys to see the rest it only gets better and better
Watching Ep 8 on Saturday‼️
7:44 It isn't out of nervousness, he was color blind, so he doesn't know what light is green and red. He more than likely lied to get into the Army about his color blindness.
Knife vs mounted Bayonett, Bayonett wins basically every time. Reach, power and speed is basically identical. With a knife fight, if you are in range, you'll get hurt. If the other guy outranges you, it's over (unless they have absolutely no training and you get super lucky)
I can recommend two older movies for you two to watch: Patton (1970 ) and The Big Red One (1980). Patton is about the very skillful but difficult general who was a tank expert, and The Big Red One is about the Army First Infantry Division - in this movie, the actors portraying soldiers are close to the real ages of soldiers in WW2.
You still have alot more to go. This series is a wild ride
I can't be the only one who wonders where Spiers was this episode.. Did he even fight in Operation Market Garden?
Thanks for your hard work, Brothers! Oh, Blithe died in 1967, not 1948...dunno HOW they got that wrong...God bless, Oorah, Doc
I want to see a series about the 761st.
They can leave people like you two couldn't leave each other.
the fallen of ww2 is a very interesting thing to watch.
Lets go dudes, another banger
36:26 this felt like a drug commercial side effect part
😂😂😂
Battlefield 1941, old PC video game. Operation Market is the most difficult to win. It's basically a planned loss unless you can find a way to stop the German tanks. One way a video game got it right.
It was Cobb who said "I'm not going out there" - he's got a big mouth, but he's mostly talk, little action. His favorite thing to do seems to be picking on people he thinks can't/won't fight back.
And yet he was the only member of Easy that had prior combat experience (in North Africa).
it was Cobb
We had some incredible men back then. Not without their flaws, but this show always makes me wonder if I could do that shit. It's easy to say you could, but you never know until you are in it. Luckily for we had some brave bad ass mofos around back then that will hopefully be the last American generation to fight in a world war.
Remember Cobb when you watch Episode 8.
Watching Ep 8 Saturday!
Y'all gotta do the Pacific after this the Marines had it more worse the Japanese where fearless fight to the death what out a care my grandfather fought in the Pacific as a Marine and only talked once about it seen some crazy shit love the channel keep it up..
That’s the plan! We appreciate you & your support💙
@@DaKidsReact no problem
Market Garden was a logistical and intelligence disaster. The Allies learned a lot from Market Garden.
Watch the outpost, fire movie
This video shows what the actors went thru to train for the movie, Capt Sink (Captain Dale Dye) ran the actor boot camp...
