Also note that Winters is clean shaven, like Sink. The other officers are bearded and scruffy, like officers[well Nixon is a staff officer whose morale is waning and getting tired and cynical] whose duty takes them into forefront of the battle area. Sink can be neat because as the regimental C.O., he's generally nowhere near the sharp end. Winters does it because he's a dedicated leader and is an example to his men.
Not to mention Winters was just a pretty traditional, some would say stiff, guy of mennonite upbringing. Keeping clean shaven, not drinking, not gambling, etc was probably just who he was regardless of his rank.
@@unmessable12 He wasn't a Memmonite, but an Evangelical Lutheran. He didn't drink because of his alcoholic grandpa who caused several problems to his family. He drank an apple wine once in Normandy, but no more.
Actually this did happen to the Wehrmacht's 24th motorised/Panzer division in their fight to Stalingrad. A lucky mortar round hit a meeting of the COs, killing some and effectively ending the fight for Stalingrad for their commander, von Hauenschild.
@N Allen I think "No shit Sherlock" or "Thanks for stating the bleedin' obvious" would have been a better replies. Not sure where tactics comes into it 🤔
Hans: "Hey Orrick! Look at this! Four officers out in the open. This must be our lucky day!" Orrick: "Nien, Hans. They look like they're having an important conversation. Leave them be." Hans: "Oh, yea, of course. How thoughtless of me."
Jason Briski Ok.... a German sniper would see the colonel standing with 3 other men having a discussion... common sense would tell you that a colonel would not be talking to 3 privates he would only talk to officers
Jason Briski i would feel a decent experienced marksman would be able to tell who is in charge by viewing mannerisms. If it were me id be looking at the guy everyone else is looking at, im pretty sure the werhmacht had designated marksmen who actually received extensive training in this.
Im glad all the comments are about how a sniper could take out four officers here - it was one of my first thoughts as well. Theres even a belltower up high to shoot from.
Chat, new idea. Wouldnt this be kind of a risk? I was thinking they might be vulnerable to a sniper. I DK though, and cant find any thoughts on this issue.
At that point of the war, any sniper taking that shot would have had to have been a dedicated Nazi. Anyone else would be like, "I got the shot, but if I shoot I am gonna get blasted to Hell by who knows how many guns." Just not worth it.
And then the Lt. proceeded to shove that mission order where the sun don’t shine. Sometimes it’s best to sacrifice the pride of a CO to save the guys under you
He's talking about how stupid this scene is because 4 Officers would never stand out in the open like that in an active warzone. The Cherry on top would be them saluting Colonel Sink
BoB focuses on the camaraderie of soldiers in Easy Company fighting in Europe. TP focuses on the psychological darkness experienced by marines fighting in the Pacific. Both miniseries are great in their own way
I'm from Ukraine Bucha Gostomel, Irpin I was under bombardment by the Russian Federation there ✌✌✌🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦 we will win thanks for heavy weapons ✊ give long-range missiles and there will be peace
Why were they so against going over the river again? Because the enemy was there? I don’t understand especially considering the guy who they lost killed him self with his own grenade so what is the “let’s lie about going there again” about?
do you know what a reckless mission is? at some point, you have to outweigh the risk and gain of a mission. Col. Sink and above saw that the risk was worth the reward while everybody below Sink knew the reward wasn't worth the risk. Serve in a position with guys directly under you and you would understand perfectly.
cUz .No SNIPER in that Time... How Can The Sniper Re ENGAGE that Place.for If want To know WHY They ARE STANDING there ..and why The Sniper Not To shoot them..IMAGINE 100YARD... how Far that ..if The Ranges Of A SNIPER FIFFLE IS 50 to 80 YARDS..hahaha That's Why they Have CONFIDENT to stand Along THE RIVER..100 Yard From Position Of the SNIPER add 40 Yard from river To Them...hahaha

That's a sniper's wet dream, that many officers in one place.
A very precious position and 0 snipers? haha

ELJØrsh by this stage in the war, everyone was just trying to survive. Both sides knew it was over.
You see those 20mm ready to tear apart any sniper's hide out?
@@Michaelyinglia I could be mistaken but I believe that’s an AA emplacement of 50 cals, sure serves the same purpose though.
@@theleviathan451 They are, but you see them being used as heavy machine guns to suppress enemy fire in the episode later.
As Lt. Aldo Raine would say that spot "would be a goddamn snipers delight".

All of them stood there. All it needs is one lucky mortar round.
Just sayin

have you ever considered opening a military tactics school? You are a tactical genius.

Never heard the Name Orrick before. Where is it from?

“Hans, looks like the bearded guy has ze case of the Mondays.”
A Colonel , Major who is Battalion commander, and 2 Captains standing out in the open 100 yards from the enemy lol
Hollywood.
Jcurvs99 beat me to it :-E , a cook with a bolt action wouldve gotten himself an ironcross that day.
Aside from the colonel nobody has any rank insignia showing

“No,
No I’ll do it.” Leadership.
Especially if you knew you had no intention of sending them 😉

It is evening. However, the sun is setting in front of them which would make it setting in the east.
donald conrad attention to detail
well, some peoples mind
works wonders.
Lol
why does the sun 'setting in front of them' mean it must be setting in the east? I'm not following that last link in the logic there.
@@FroMaestro because allied forces are fighting Germans in the western front, facing Germans in the direction of east
Chat, new idea. Wouldnt this be kind of a risk? I was thinking they might be vulnerable to a sniper. I DK though, and cant find any thoughts on this issue.
So, I think it goes without saying, this would never happen.

Very interesting and unique observation. The enemies are considerate too, right?
Winters is smart...not taking anyone across the river.
And then the Lt. proceeded to shove that mission order where the sun don’t shine. Sometimes it’s best to sacrifice the pride of a CO to save the guys under you
1% of episode 8
I was thinking snipers....
They wouldn't be standing up exposed if there was enemy in the ruins across the river.
this scene would´ve been even greater If they´d saluted the Colonel
You don't typically salute in the field, especially that close to enemy troops. It paints a target.
You only salute wheen your headdress has a capbrass, thus never saluting in the field.
He's talking about how stupid this scene is because 4 Officers would never stand out in the open like that in an active warzone. The Cherry on top would be them saluting Colonel Sink
@@D2attemp 100 points ^^
They didn't even try to make these subtitles accurate.
That's just perfect Brazilian Portuguese man, idk what to tell ya.
They even half-assed the English subtitles.
They were probably shocked to see their strategy with having an all officer meeting 100 yards from the enemy ..
It was over at that point ...no real threat
Ótimo filme de guerra
É série
In the beginning, the officers are out in the open. It seems like they’d be vulnerable to sniper fire from across the river.
*Colonel Cathcart likes this*
Thanks. That's who I was thinking of.
Winters was disgusted at his superior...
Snipers would’ve did some serious damage, too many officers in one spot 100 yards from the enemy position
those aren’t officers, just some scouts watching the river
@@MontyQueues 2 captains, 1 major and colonel, with the colonel showing his rank on the helmet
@@collectibletaco7797 yeah scouts
This is one of the best storys told and acted directed and made, much better than pacific which just didnt give the story.
You are full of it! The Pacific was waaaaay better than band of brothers!
@@ProjecthuntanFish You're the minority. But it's your opinion.
BoB focuses on the camaraderie of soldiers in Easy Company fighting in Europe. TP focuses on the psychological darkness experienced by marines fighting in the Pacific. Both miniseries are great in their own way
The Pacific makes BofB look like a Hallmark movie.

@@jenshavla4673 Ah, I see you *know* everything about me. How weird. By the way, your response makes no sense. Run along.
Lucky no sniper on the other side
Is it smart to be standing out in the open like that? What about potential snipers or even soldiers with regular rifles from across the river?
that basicaly all the major command in that unit
Patthon Sirilim a green private coulda gotten a bloody iron cross if he could shoot these guys
And there weren't snipers.
I have a cousin in Argentina
Is he gay like you?
I have a cat in my pants.
Finest Sniper to date, Canadian🇨🇦
The briefing that Capt Winter dies after is the piece de resistant.
No..no..
I'll do it..

This was towards the end of the war. In the book Winters himself says he didn't want to put any more lives at risk so close to going home.
Winters knew that easy were gonna be pulled off the line soon, so he falsified the report to protect his men.

Sink and above saw that the risk was worth the reward while everybody below Sink knew the reward wasn't worth the risk.

@Class Act Top Brass always thinks that the lower ranks are a bunch of tireless robots.
It was uncalled for. The war is almost over. Why get killed to please a general or anyone else. Winters did right by his men.

Notice how Winters doesn't look Sink in the eye...he has already formulated his plan not to send them over again....brilliant acting..
