To this day, that winter is still the coldest winter on record in Bastogne. My grandfather was in Patton's 3rd Army, and he was there. He HATED the cold.
He needed the scissors to cut clothing off the soldiers in order to get access to their injuries. Now nowadays, paramedics call them trauma shears.
Elie, you are the best reactor. When your viewers get invested in a series with you, you don’t make us wait. You give it to us right away. Thanks for that.
And, just to let you know, the next episode, Episode 7, is my favorite of the series.
Thankkk youuu soo much. This week may slow down as im super busy but ill try my best
This episode and the next one are filmed inside massive hangars, indoors. 300,000lbs of shredded paper and plastic pellets are used to replicate snow. They brought in real trees, and used foam ones rigged with explosives to simulate artillery strikes. The actors were sweating so much they needed to wipe their faces between takes, but they still masterfully conveyed the sensation of extreme cold.
Renee and Augusta were real persons, helping the wounded during the siege, though there are no records of Doc Roe meeting Renee. She was killed during the bombardment, trying to evacuate wounded soldiers. She had been saving a silk parachute to make a dress, and US soldiers brought her body back to her family wrapped in that parachute.
Guarnere was looking for a joint called Lulu's last episode and now he's got an infection, had too much fun there ;)
Winters kept shaving to uphold morale among his men, if they saw him still taking the time to shave, theyd think that the situation possibly couldn't be that bad..
Gordon, who was paralyzed after being shot through the shoulders, eventually regained mobility in his limbs, though he would suffer severe back pain the rest of his life. People unaware of his suffering would come hug him or pat him on the back to congratulate him, causing him great pain, but he'd always make a point to not let it show.
And, i like to think that Doc Roe using Renee's scarf to bandage Babe's hand signifies Renee's last act of healing from beyond. But, more pragmatically, it shows the need for the men to not dwell on whats done, and focus on what's happening now.
Agree agree on every point. Doc Roe has a moment where he thinks of keeping Rene’s headscarf, but you can see him thinking that’s what she would have wanted it to be used for.
I was a Navy Hospital Corpsman (Medic) in Vietnam (3 Tours). I had 4months of basic medical training and two months of combat medical training when I was assigned to the Marines. The army medical training is similar. They don't just say you're a medic. There are not enough men that volunteer to be a medic. Tests are taken while you are in training. If your test shows an aptitude for medicine, then they ask you to volunteer or just send you to school to be a medic. If you are not good at it they send you back to infantry. Most medics that have been in combat can do the job as well as or better than some doctors or nurses.
According to the Geneva Conventions medics are not to carry offensive weapons. I never carried a weapon. During times not in combat the medic is supposed give first aid lessons to his whole platoon frequently. So, anyone can take over basic first aid if the medic is killed. They can carry a pistol for their own protection and the protection of the one they are working on.
Those two medics in the same fox hole should never be close to each other during combat (That’s one of the first things you learn). One of my tours in Vietnam I was on a ship on the Co Chien River in the Mekong Delta. Me and another corpsman were the only medical personnel on board. Being the only medical person onboard I did everything medical. If you were on a ship or with the Marines, you were called Doc. We were taught that during combat conditions we were to be on opposite ends of the ship. The 2 corpsmen we replaced were together during a fire fight and they both got killed. You never remember all the ones that you have treated but you never forget the ones you can’t save.
Thanx for another great reaction.
This was shot on a soundstage, and yes very opposite of Bastogne, it was actually very hot. Credit to the actors for their portrayal of the cold.
The Germans used their artillery in a unique way. They had some rounds with timers to explode in the trees. This had a two prong effect, 1- it utilized the trees splintering as shrapnel. 2- it blocked motorized access by the huge trunks falling. The other thing is they would barrage and then stop and wait, wait for the guys to get comfortable and start moving out of their holes to tend to wounded etc. Then they’d send a second or third barrage.
Episodes 6,7 and 9 are the most emotionally draining - each for different reasons. Here we get both a sense of the suffering of the soldiers but also of the civilian populace. Both the nurses shown were real people known as the Angels of Bastogne - Augusta Chiwy survived the war and die in 2015 whilst Renée Lemaire dies on Christmas Eve 1944. - the aid station was hit and she managed to evacuate 6 of the injured men but died whilst trying to evacuate a 7th wounded man. She was buried wrapped in a Parachute she had obtained on the day she dies intending to do much the same as Harry Welsh and use it as material for a Wedding Dress one day. Theres no actual record of her meeting Doc Roe but it's definitely possible they met in passing.
Don't get ahead
Every reactor who reacts to this show gets warned about episodes 6, 7 and 9 - if you dont believe me go and check a few peoples reactions to Curahee and Day of Days - you will see it over and over. It's simply the truth to tell people 6, 7 and 9 are somewhat difficult to watch and emotionally draining..
Great Review. I have always felt on the best things about this show is that it shows the war through many different perspectives. The young officer leading his men into combat for the first time. The scared private finding his courage, replacement soldier coming in having to prove themselves. They vertarn solider caught behind the lines and having to survive and get back to his unit, and of course the Medic. This constant change in perspetive continues through the rest of the episodes. I think it was brilliant decision by the writers and producers because although the men are in the same company and the same battles, their experiences and perspectives are very different. Best show ever made. Keep up the good work.
I just wanna say, Winters shaving seems insane, but that’s the part of your duties as a soldier that make us different. Army will see you in a snow storm and still expect a clean shave hahah
Any branch would have the same standard except now a days everyone has shave profiles. Or special forces can keep a beard
Remember how in the last episode, Guarnere was looking for a place called "Lulu's"? I'd say he found it and came back with a souvenir.
The artillery/mortar round that struck the officers in the "dell" could have been caused by a German observation/listening post seeing the fire's reflection in the foliage of the trees. Another possibility is "harassing & interdiction fires," in the Army being called "H&I fire." These are random, sometimes not controlled fires as part of any pre-plotted artillery/mortar concentration, that are intended to hurt the enemy's morale by keeping him on edge, denying him sleep, or in lucky cases, actually hitting a bunker, vehicle, or such. In Episode 5, "Crossroads" you'll recall that Winters and the other trooper could not figure out what the German machine gun was targeting. In fact, the Germans were conducting H&I fires, shooting randomly across at the U.S. defense line, not trying to hit anything in particular (it was night time), but disrupting U.S. patrols and morale. (The opening scene where the wounded trooper was brought into the command post?) Spent 26 years in infantry, parachute infantry, armored cavalry, and Special Forces from 1970-96. . This BoB series is just incredibly accurate in even the smallest details.
Great reaction! Love Doc! I highly recommend everyone read the book "Angels of Bastogne"...about Augusta and Renée. It's just wonderful!
Renee is based on a nurse who is to this day highly revered. there is a shrine to memorialize her in the city.
This episode centers on Doc Roe. Do you notice that, as the battle progresses, as casualties mount, as supplies dwindle, as weather takes its toll, that Doc Roe's energy--mental and physical--begins to wane? He becomes increasingly lethargic. He does not jump right up and run to the wounded soldier as he did at the first of the episode. At 42:20 he has to be shaken and yelled-at to get him moving. While he is not struck my bullets or artillery shell fragment or tree splinters, he nevertheless is slowly becoming a casualty.
A bit of trivia: Walter "Smokey" Gordon, who was shot shoulder to shoulder and paralysed, eventually regained the use of his limbs, though he suffered from chronic back pain for the rest of his life.
When you've finished this series of Band of Brothers, watch, the Band of brothers documentary called We stand Alone Together, the veterans you see before each episode, the go more into detail, it's a fasanating watch
Not gonna mention names to not give any spoilers, but the son of one of the guys who lived through the war asked him what was Bastogne like. He said it was like being in an (American) football game, the men were the players on the field, and the crowd was the Germans.
Pretty work.
Every episode is a change of focus...
Ep1- Sobel
Ep2- Winters
Ep3- Blythe
Ep4- Bull
Ep5- Winters
Ep6- Roe
"The Pacific" should be next on your list.

"There's a lot of sh*t and it's heading this way" Well, it's here. Imagine being the only one on the battlefield trying to save lives in this chaos, while literally everyone around you is doing their best to end them. Eugene has the thousand yard stare already. I dated a nurse once. It takes a special kind of soul to fill this role. Renée is based on an actual hero in Bastogne.

yea the rest of the show is great cinema that cemented this as top tier masterpiece war drama, but this episode directed by David Leland and the last episode ("Crossroads" directed by Tom Hanks) cemented this show as a masterpiece in general in my mind. The unconventional writing and structure of Crossroads, and the beautiful, empty filmmaking of Bastogne really set out to do what the directors wanted to do. Perfect execution. I also really appreciate that they captured the agony, but also the peacefulness and beauty, of the cold weather, interrupted by moments of extreme combat. The remaining episodes sort of follow this deeper, more philosophical mood and theme too, making this show just get better and better.
They were definitely spread extremely thin no doubt but the reason there’s basically no more than two men to a foxhole is so that if the German artillery or mortars make a direct hit on a foxhole they wouldn’t lose more than just a man or two instead of a single artillery round or mortar being able to kill and seriously wound a large group of men.
I like how Renee makes that kissy face when she says "Pour vous" 😗
😅😅😅
the battle of the bulge, this was a historic battle in ww2 and history
I read (somewhere) that Gen. McAuliffe did have some artillery...can't confirm, but that may have helped them hold on.
20:15 My understanding is that these shots with the fog and the snow and the trees were filmed on a soundstage, and the lights made the working conditions, of course, very hot.
Hanks said the trees were plastic and the thermostat was set at 45 degrees
The episodes 6 and 7 are real soul-crushers. The episode 9 will simply finish you. Good luck :)
Hello Elie Moses, fear not, their situation improves in Episode seven.
The actor who played Doc Roe is British as are about 60% of the cast, as it was filmed in the UK. These actors did such a good job with the American accents, but then all the actors in this series were brilliant, which helped make the series so good.
If you film in the UK, you are required by law to hire a percentage of UK actors. Sort of like affirmative action.
If you want to stay on your run of top notch shows, I highly recommend The Expanse next (after The Pacific, of course)
Seen the expanse love it!!!
Renèe's death hit me hard the first time I saw this episode. Sadder part is it's going get even worse the next three episodes.
