    The comment about "BMW is better" misses the whole point. GM and ford were producing enormous amounts of vehicles for the war effort while the German military was using horse drawn carts... BMW might be decent today but that has nothing to do with 80 years ago. Context is everything.

      Which is super funny in a way, considering that Ford also had factories manned by slaves... sorry 'imprisoned people' to make vehicles for Hitler, because Hitler was a big fan of Ford. Him being an antisemetic murderer and all, Ford I mean. Henry Ford was the same kind of 'billionaire' asshole we have today. Shooting protesting workers, not giving a shit about work safety, trying to create cities where he could control all his workers did (eat, drink, sleep).
      And then the Myth that Ford "pulled himself up by his bootstraps". Except he got two huge farms and a forestry as inheritance and had to do NOTHING to be rich. All he did was become richer. Which is super easy to do once you HAVE money.
      Fuck Ford, is what I am saying, and I am not talking about the vehicles.

    Those Germans in that town knew full well what was going on. They chose to look the other way. It's funny to me, how a very large number of German citizens were proud to be affiliated with the Nazi party during Hitler's rise to power and had no real issue with the persecution, torture and murder (or at least the "relocation", as they were told) of millions of Jews and other minorities. Yet, as one of the guys mentioned during the temporary occupation of that house, with all the Germans they came across, not a one ever admitted to being a Nazi.

      Most of them didn't know about the camps. They knew that neighbors and others had been rounded up and moved away. They were also forbidden to go into the areas where the camps were located or there'd be severe punishment. So they lived their lives as normal in a suspicious ignorance. Whatever they knew about the camps was largely based on rumors and stories from 3rd parties. The regular people were just as responsible for what happened but many of them didn't realize what they had allowed to take place.

    Most of the people in the US and military did not know about the concentration camps until the Allies entered into Germany , Poland , etc. towards the end of the war. They knew the Jews were being persecuted against and were being kicked out of their homes and forced into ghettos since that was happening since the late 1930's. It wasn't until the camps started to be discovered during the times this episode portrays is when they really understood how insanely inhumane and bad it was. I believe this might have also been one of the big reasons as to why the US was so ready to drop nukes on Japan. They've just discovered the true horrors of the Axis powers and their secret camps to eradicate human beings, and since Germany surrendered the US took out all of their revenge, anger, disgust, and payback onto the only enemy left fighting. Of course they wanted to drop the bomb to see how it really works after spending all that time on it but, I don't think the 2nd bomb would have dropped if the above didn't happen. The amount of death that happened from 1934ish-1945 is unimaginable. Stalin alone killed more of his own people than Hitler, the Japanese empire, Italy, and everyone else combined who killed their enemies and own people...Stalin was the biggest murderer of WW2, Hitler was the biggest monster, and the Japanese empire were the biggest savages/barbarians. Allies did some messed up shit too that can't be forgiven; Dresden for one... "Only the dead have seen the end of war"

    The extras who acted has the prisoners where actual Cancer Patients getting or awaiting treatment. When making the concentration camp scene, behind the scenes people asked many of the actors if they want to see a memorial in order to get ready for it, all of them said no because they wanted to see the concentration camp with virgin eyes like the real E Company did over 80 years ago. The shock and awe from the actors are raw and real. I cry every time when I reach to Episode 9 because has someone who has a degree in history, we can never forget the atrocistes of the Holocaust. (Side Note: Babe Heffron said that the depiction in BoB wasn't accurate - in reality it was 1000 times worse.)
    Many people of today especially the young who are forgetting that the Jewish people have lost so much because of one man and many of his followers did to them. That is why Mossad was created in Israel "Central Institute for Intelligence and Special Operations," because when Nazi Germany was losing the war, many high level Nazis escaped to other countries especially to Buenos Aires, Argentina. When Mossad agents get information on a Nazi escapee's they go and get them, send them back to Israel, put them on trial, and finally hanged. Mossad even today are still looking for any Nazis from WWII, even though many are old men and women, Mossad still will hang them for murdering their people.

    Regarding Nixon's wife divorcing him it was not an uncommon thing to happen to soldiers during the war.
    Most of these men were recently married just before getting called up and then spending 2+ years away with letters being the only way to communicate with their loved ones. Because communication was so limited rumors started flying that the men were having affairs overseas or visiting brothels (and many were). This along with that fact that many of these women had to take on full time jobs to provide for their young families and that they might one day receive a letter that their husband was killed, possibly months ago, lead many women to either have affairs themselves or look for new partners outright. This lead to what were known as "Dear John Letters" basically code for I'm leaving you or I'm getting a divorce. These letters were dreaded by soldiers and whenever one was received it caused the soldiers to lose morale and become much less effective. It got so bad at one point the US government forbade the wives of soldiers to file for divorce until after the war ended.
    Now Nixon was one of the cases where he absolutely deserved it as he actually was having an affair with a woman in England.

I really believe Spielberg intentionally has the Nazi woman in the vivid red coat as a direct reference and connection to the little Jewish girl in Schindler's List. I don't think there are coincidences in his films...The actors weren't even allowed to see the set until the day of shooting, they wanted to get a genuine reaction from them. While the prisoners were some actual cancer patients who wanted to be a part of this. What shocks me is how surprised most people are reacting to this, having no idea what they were about to see...I think we get so immersed in the characters and immediacy we lose track of the big picture and tragedy.

    American government had rough idea what Germans are preparing to do since 1940 - and they had complete and detailed picture by 1943. They had plenty reports of transports and transitory camps from resistance movements from entire Europe and detailed reports on main death camps from Polish underground state. US politicians decided not to disseminate the knowledge to general populace for reasons unknown - but I find it almost hard to believe the US generals didn't know. This was vital strategic knowledge, what would be the reason for blindsiding them? Yet they acted surprised when confronted with reality of camps in Germany. Smoke and mirrors to avoid admitting to their own men that US knew entire time?
    Whatever the truth is, every piece of media describing Western front in 1945 has obligatory "US troops are shocked by discovering camps" scene. And since most people learn history from popculture, soon everybody will forget US knew - and did next to nothing. Of course that's not even shocking compared to obligatory "German citizens are even more shocked" scene. Like nobody ever wondered what happened with their Jewish neighbors...

The extent of the operation and the details of its inhumane industrialization were exactly the details provided by European resistance I wrote about earlier. There were many people who escaped from transports, some even escaped death camps - providing first hand testimonies of everything. By the D-Day there was literally nothing of note left for UK and US governments to learn about German death camps.
      Prompt dissemination of information about death camps is not a matter of mere "whatifs" half a century later. There were still Jews for Nazis to gather and transport all over Europe - one of such eyewitness' reports found its way to Jewish community in Hungary around time Germans were rounding them up. Survivors literally confirmed they decided to risk an escape only after they read what happened in the place the trains were to take them to, and without this info, they would not take the risk and would have boarded the train, as they family members who refused to believe the report, did.Trains were heading to Auschwitz.
      Even in war, even in pre-internet times, nothing could have stopped the slow but steady flow of information from London to entire Europe - but instead of issuing press releases about Auschwitz, British Foreign Office issued advices to newspaper editors warning them against "spreading sensationalist material".

      Oh of course the USA knew but it's the USA we are talking about. It didn't bother them at all in the beginning. They were selling oil to the Japanese until the late 41 supporting massacres in China and neighbouring states until this all started to become a headache for their trade, economy and lifestyle. That's when they embargoed oil sales to Japan because of which the Japanese became mad and bombed pearl harbour which gave the Americans an excuse to officially join the war. Btw Americans had concentration camps of their own for the Japanese which was situated in california. They used to call them relocation camps.

    The United States ability to turn their wartime effort to full blown wartime economy with factories like GM, ford, and other huge productions. For instance in Seattle at the Boeing factory (lol Boeing) at the height of the war the Boeing factory was pumping out 16 brand new b-17 Bombers a DAY. When the battle of coral sea happened and the USS Yorktown was damaged.. the dock yard said it would take three months.. they got it done in 72 hours in time for the battle of the midway. America production was at an all time height in 1943. Logistics. We’re good at them.
    3:13 also the women he was sending this stuff too. It was a women he met and married in England, the women thought she was a widow but it was found out her husband was a POW the whole time in war. She left Speirs for her original husband taking their son with them and all the stuff he sent back to her. He never got it back.
    10:50 the humbleness? Maybe Germany shouldn’t commit genocide and start a WORLD WAR. They deserved no humbleness. Fuck em.
    16:30 like you said BMW is better!!

      A big factor into aiding the US war efforts were that they could operate without the threat of being bombed constantly and shutting down production. That's why I believe that even if Hitler got a hold of all the liquid Dino in the world. US still would have won, it just would have took a lot longer. Because we were already taking the fight to their country and it's factories while ours were operating 24/7 unchecked. Add in the atom bomb which would have been used on Hitler's Germany the moment it was available.

    Seriously, you've been watching Band of Bros for a while and seen what the Germans have done to the world, and you think that's a good time to promote BMW versus American cars? Any Jew watching this reaction and hearing you talk like that would be offended at your insensitivity. I mean, you're watching the most evil empire in history, does that not sink in at any point? After discovering the the meaning behind the episode title you'd think you reserve a comment like that for another time.

    Your scruples and sensitivities are quite amusing to see. Part of your western heritage, I suppose. Nixon smashing the picture of the German officer is quite a mild display of field rage, or French troops knocking off prisoners. Crazy as the latter was, those things are pretty common in real wars no matter what the news reels tell us. Speaking for myself, I know I'd be thrice - if not more times - crueler than my enemy; it's how wars are won.

    She missed the point of ,"say hello to Ford..." Not a criticism, there are several things they were too subtle on here. For example it took me watching many reactions to figure that older woman in red was married to a high ranking officer who lived near the camp. Her husband was the commandant who order the "Shoot the prisoners until out of ammo." She is the one Winters guessed warned them. Oh, they had no BMWs, they had horse and donkeys. At this point the war should be over but the Germans did not surrender. (We later learned to stall the Russians and surrender to the Americans.)

    Insensitive? Remember when Nixon said, "There's a certain lady in Aldbourne I'm going to look up." He had been cheating on his wife and she found out about it. Still think she was being Insensitive? Just because the show cherry picked information to give you doesn't mean you got it all.

    • @baronimhoof4042
      @baronimhoof4042 27 дней назад +1

      The show doesn't say she found out, that's just your assumption. And yes, when she's sitting at home with the dog and the kid, living well since she's married to the heir of Nixon Industries, and he's going through D-Day, then Market Garden, then Bastogne, then another combat drop where he and another guy are the only survivors, and she decides she wants to divorce now and not even wait until he gets home... yeah, insensitive is the best word I can use. The stress she is under is nowhere near what he's lived through.

    Saying BMW is better is an admittance that you don't even change your own brake pads or oil.......lol You are paying for the brand, not mechanical security when you buy a BMW. They're in the shop ten times more than almost any domestic car brand. The amount of plastic in a BMWs engine in very problematic places is mind boggling. Your first year with it might be great, by year two you are sick of your rental car and your Beemer spends 80% of it's time up on a lift in a bay.
