They could feel proud of what they’d done….but you listen to Dakota meyers story and realize how fucked up the war is today. That story messed me up for weeks….changed my whole just mood idk for weeks. I’m about to go listen to it again because it’s something that should never be forgotten.

    I had the privilege to meet Mgr. Winters at a military base and we shared a table over drinks in a base cafe. The base, where he did his basic training, is very close to the PA Farm he retired to. We spoke about the War, and he asked about my family. My late dad was an Air Force veteran of both WWII and Korea. My grandfather had served as doughboy in WWI. Winters was kind; he said that my dad was a hero and I should be proud to be his son. I'll never forget that. My ancestors had served with distinction in the Netherlands Royal Army dating back to the Siege of Haarlem in 1572, every generation, before coming to America. I owe my life, literally, to all of them.

    About the "lottery" to send someone home - there was no lottery, they rigged it. Shifty was the longest serving guy without enough points to go home, so they just picked him. If you rewatch the scene, the officers are smirking at each other, and they show the helmet which supposedly had everyone's name on slips of paper in it was actually empty. They just wanted to do something good for their friend without embarrassing him I guess.

    • @timothyhedrick5295

      Technically to qualify for the lottery one could have zero disciplinary actions in theater (if you look it up the lottery was a real thing and the qualifications were high enough some units didn't have anyone to send home).
      While they set it up for Shifty there were only a couple others in the unit that qualified, and as stated he was the longest serving member of Easy that didn't have the points. Not as big of a fix as people think.

      Absolutely. It is a bit 'darker'...especially during and after the 'Cape Gloucester' episode.
      The Pacific War was so brutal, because of the deep hatred between the Americans and the Japanese. Well, all Allies hated the Japanese...for the same reasons. The Japanese hated the Allies just as much.
      In Europe, the American Troops didn't start hating the Germans until the Malmédy Massacre, and with The liberation of concentration camps.

    They don't note in the series, but Winters confirms in an interview that Speirs did, in fact, shoot those prisoners. They were worried when they made the book that putting that in there would get them sued, so Speirs wrote a letter confirming he did in fact, shoot them and wouldn't pursue legal action.

    In real life, Winters did accept the pistol and shows it off in the followup documentary to the show. He kept it and insisted it never ever be fired again.
    And soldiers were given one point for each month of military service, with an extra point per month of overseas service. A decoration earned a soldier 5 points, and soldiers were awarded 12 points per child up to a maximum of three. A total of 85 points was needed to go home.

    Hello Larissa! Just saw your reaction and your question. As to the "Points" mentioned, there are many ways to earn the necessary 85 points to go home. Parents/fathers were given over 30 points, plus 10 points per dependent. You earn 1 point for every month you were in uniform, another 1 point for every month you were deployed overseas. You were also awarded 5 points for commendations/awards/medals given to you individually or to the unit, like the Presidential Unit Citations the 101st Airborne was awarded twice, for DDay and Bastogne.

    During world War II, the US Army's points system was used to determine when a soldier could be discharged and go home. You needed a total of 85 points. You got one point for each month in service in the Army; one additional point for each month in service overseas; five points for each campaign; five points for a medal for merit or valor (like a bronze or silver star); five points for a Purple Heart (which was awarded for being wounded in action), and twelve points for each dependent child. Once you reached 85 points, you could go home.

    Hi Larissa, great reactions from you. Unfortunately, all the remaining Easy Co. men have passed away now, the last one being Bradford Freeman, who died aged 97, on 3rd July 2022. The last officer to die was LT Ed Shames, who retired as a Colonel. He died aged 99 on 3rd December 2021.

    When I was in grad school for my MA in History we were all encouraged to go out and talk to any relative, friend's relatives or join a program to interview and talk to WW2 Vets for the very reason that their generation would soon fade away. My professor told us in some way it is our duty and our way of repaying them by getting them to tell their stories and their experiences so future generations will know and not forget. I managed to get both of my grand parents to finally open up about their experience in the Pacific along with a friend's grandfather who served in the 3rd Army under Paton. I know they were then going to also encourage others to begin with Korean and Vietnam vets. Oral history had long been a branch of history that has been ignored and at least when I was in college they were trying to encourage documenting oral history again.

    I checked the US Department of Veterans Affairs to see how many are still alive from the US. According to US Department of Veterans Affairs statistics, 167,284 of the 16 million Americans who served in World War II are alive in 2022. I think it's amazing that there are still that many alive, I would have thought it would be far less.

    Yeah they were all filmed for the documentary of the same name, and this show took excerpts from it to paste into each episode. The series was taken from the book where so many of the men were interviewed by the writer Stephen Ambrose, who was inspired by the men of Easy Company annually gathering for a reunion each year. So yeah, I would think as accurate as they could possibly get.

    The German general says, "mit euch zu dienen haben" (to have served with you) is a distinct contrast to the formal address, "mit Ihnen dienen haben" which says the same in the grammatically formal term;, Geitlob translates it as "each and everyone of you" to convey the man-to-man connection.

    It wasn't a real lottery to draw a name, if you go watch again, you'll notice the helmet is empty, they just put Shifty's name in there to be sure he got to go back home since he didn't have enough points but had been there from the very beginning.
    And you're correct about the WWII veterans, even those that might have been 17 when they enlisted and took part in the latest stages of war in 45, it still would make them around 95yo, so there are less and less of them every year.
    As far as Easy Company, the last officer, Shames, passed away in Dec of 21, and the last enlisted, Freeman, passed away in July of 22.

    Larissa your reaction was beautiful, I am a 60 year old guy and I tear up every time Major Winter reads that letter. They were the "Greatest Generation". I wish you would review "We Stand Alone Together." Its was compiled over two years, an 'on-camera oral history' of Easy Company, told by the veterans themselves. Accompanies the mini-series Band of Brothers. It is great way to end "Band of Brothers."

    Everyone likes to believe that they have what it takes to do what needs to be done when put in a life or death situation. Like the men that stormed the beaches in Normandy they were faced with the death and horror of humanity at its worst, and this wasn't a single event it was a two year endurance test that pushed many of them past their ability to function as a person. The men of the 101st were the point of the spear for the majority of their deployment and did what was asked of them. What these men accomplished goes beyond bravery and places them into the realm of Superheros.
