    21:00. Charles "Chuck" Grant did indeed survive the grievous head wound, but he never fully recovered. He was plagued with health problems for the rest of his life (including partial paralysis and speech problems), but he did have a family and ran a tobacco shop, and frequented the Easy Company reunions until his death in 1984.

    A few things from the various texts that aren't mentioned much:
    Buck and Nix disliked each other. Nix thought Buck was a pompous frat boy, and Buck thought Nix was a whiny drunken idiot. But Nix was his superior officer, and sometimes held that over his head. The show maybe wisely avoided that, and we end up liking them both.
    Winters considered Liebgott in the same category as Speirs: Someone who enjoyed killing. The scene where he tells him to drop his ammo to take prisoners was much tenser in reality. Liebgott had as much as bragged about his intention to massacre them all, and Winters had to almost point his gun at Liebgott to make him drop his ammo. Winters believed in a lot of things, but he lived in reality.
    Winters, in his autobiography, comes close to saying that he broke down when they tried to deploy him to Korea. It wasn't like some "No thanks," it was begging them on his knees to let him retire. That's what he says himself. His suffering is palpable, and puts these experiences in a lot of context. Man had moral clarity, and the Cold War was not his scene.
    Nix's wife Grace, who brought his life together, was Japanese-American. For someone of that generation and in veteran circles, that's a whole thing.
    Sobel's son talks to some of the kids of the Easy members. His memories of his dad are just of a normal guy, even funny sometimes.

      These are insightful, I had always heard many say that Sobel being not represented in the best light by the show and as a coward was not 100% true to reality, especially since many of the veterans had spoken to Sobel, or at least his son in later life.

    The sad thing is that nobody from Easy company is alive anymore. I believe the last soldier passed away I want to say last year. I live outside of Philly and Hershey PA isn’t to far away from me. On my birthday last year which is Jan 2nd I wanted to see dick winters Memorial he has in Ephrata PA. I went it was absolutely beautiful and very moving. After that I went on a mission to find his gravestone. I did find it and I saw he passed away Jan 2nd of 2011. I had instant goosebumps since it also was my bday. Salute to Easy Company and all the military who have served. Beautiful reaction guys ❤❤❤

Considering when it was written, there is a lot of great material and perspective on certain members of Easy Company that are either not directly referenced in the show or, at least, are hinted at.

    Easy Company is the most ironic name in military history. From D-DAY all the way to Hitler's Eagle's Nest, there was nothing Easy about it. I never want things I love to end, but you want the pain to end for these Men, and the peace to begin. The German Field Marshall's speech is actually what ties the entire concept of of the series together unexpectedly. I implore you to see "We Stand Alone Together" and Ron Livingston's (Nixon) Bootcamp Diary. It makes you appreciate the series even more unbelievably. You also need to watch "The Fallen of WW2" for perspective on the scale of this tragedy. "Were you a hero in the War Grandpa? Grandpa says no, but I served in a company of heroes" Near tears every time. Currahee! ♠

    Nixons odd behavoir including saying it was time to go to bed first thing in the morning was due to his job as an intelligence officer. He worked very late into the night/early morning processing intelligence and drafting reports for the morning. Once the reports were done and ready he could then go to bed and get some sleep. Meanwhile guys were getting up to start their day. Of course his increased drinking would have only made this worse.

    18:50. The shooter of Sergeant Grant was a guy named Floyd W Craver, who was indeed an Item Company replacement. And his actual story was even worse than what was depicted here. After Craver shot Grant, he fled and was later found trying to rape an Austrian girl. He was apprehended and indeed beaten within an inch of his life as we see here, and then was turned over to the MPs, where he was sentenced to life in the stockade. However, for reasons unknown, Craver was released and went back to civilian life. He was killed when a truck slammed into him while he was riding his moped years later.

    I’ve seen the series so much that even though the last part with the real men of Easy had no sound I could still hear their voices in my head as I read the captions. Btw, if anyone is interested to learn more about the series from the actors and producers themselves you should watch the videos of the 20th anniversary symposium they did at the National WWII Museum. Many of the actors who played the men talk about their experience making the series and how they remain close to the families of the real men. Some of the writers and producers also talk about the production. Including the boot camp stories the actors went through. So cool to hear their joy and love for this whole project.

    As you are going to dive into "The Pacific War" miniseries (sometime in the future!), may I recommend the book "The Pacific War, 1931-1945: A Critical Perspective on Japan's Role in World War II" (1968) by Saburo Ienaga...for those who still read.
    Ienaga was an historian and educator who notably took the Japanese Ministry of Education to court several times to challenge the way the Pacific War was being taught in high schools.
    Here is one review of the book by Dan Ford:
    It's bad enough when you read this stuff written by an American, but when it comes from a Japanese writer it's really unsettling. Saburo Ienaga was a high-school teacher during the war and a university professor afterward; he got into trouble with the authorities for trying to bring some balance to the high-school history texts in the 1950 and 1960s, when the Cold War and the end of the U.S. occupation allowed the schools to gloss Japan's role in World War II. I read this book when I was researching the Flying Tigers, but to sit down and read it on its own merits was a revelation. (Sorry about the cover! Obviously the publisher's design staff didn't take the time to read the book.)
    Americans may be startled to pick up a 256-page book about the Pacific War and discover that Pearl Harbor isn't mentioned until page 135, more than halfway through. That's a consequence of Ienaga's belief that the war began with the Japanese army's 1931 coup in Manchuria, which led inevitably to war with China, which in turn led to the wider war that began in December 1941. Despite Japan's claims about liberating Asians from white colonialism, its purpose in going to war with the Americans, British, and Dutch was to obtain the raw materials with which to prosecute the war in China. That was one reason the Japanese treated the "liberated" people so badly--as badly as their treated their prisoners of war, which was as bad as anything east of the German death camps.
    Part of the blame goes to the Japanese military tradition, in which the officers were an elite and the troops were conscripted from the younger sons of tenant farmers. Brutality was the norm, and the enlisted men who stayed in the army and became sergeants were precisely those who would most brutalize the next batch of recruits. Draftees were called issen gorin--roughly, "penny postcards," because that was the cost and the method of obtaining one. Why husband the life of a soldier when he could be replaced for a penny? Ienaga explains that the enlisted soldiers were the bottom of the food chain, that they had no on upon whom to vent their brutality in return. (He was wrong, of course: the Korean labor guards were lower, and the prisoners and captive peoples were lower still, and it was they who suffered the lash for every indignity visited upon the common soldiers.)
    Yet the same army was notably humane during the Russo-Japanese War. Why the difference? The Imperial Japanese Army lost its humanity in China, where national pride became the ugliest kind of racism. "Chinka, Chinka, Chinka," as the translator renders a poem that appeared in Japanese schools in the 1930s: "they're ugly and they stinka." A grade-school boys would be told that his duty and his privilege when he grew up would be to kill "hundreds of Chinese." (Military training began in elementary school, and each middle school had a military cadre to lead the boys in drill.)
    During World War II, it was fashionable in the U.S. to show General Tojo as the Japanese dictator, making a trio with Germany's Hitler and Italy's Mussolini. But of course that was very far from true, as even American propaganda recognized, since sometimes the emperor Hirohito filled the same role. Ienaga is especially good at explaining this mystery, in which a dictator could be imposed by a group of elder statesmen--and then deposed when his usefulness was over. Tojo ruled the government and the army, but he never managed to rule the navy--he didn't even learn about the defeat at Midway until a month after four aircraft carriers and a major portion of the navy's fighter planes had gone to the bottom.
    In fact, the army and navy controlled the government (including Tojo), with occasional input from the emperor and the elder statesmen (basically, everyone who had ever served as prime minister). It was an intricate web, and often enough the real power was exercised not by the generals but by colonels and majors in the field. (One of these movers was Colonel Tsuji, whose story is told elsewhere on this website.)
    Ienaga wasn't disloyal, nor was he one of those who curried favor with the Occupation by writing what the Americans wanted to hear. He savages the United States for using the atomic bomb on Japanese cities--an atrocity that he ranks with Germany's death camps and Japan's Rape of Nanjing. More sobering, in a book written in 1968, he accuses the U.S. of acting as the new Imperial Japanese Army. We were the brutal overlords in Vietnam, as Japan had been in China--while Japan itself played the ignominious role of the Manchukou puppet state of the 1930s and 1940s, dutifully supporting the aggressor. It is an uncomfortable comparison.
    This is a valuable book, and one of only a half-dozen serious studies by Japanese scholars of World War II that are available in English. We didn't know our enemy in 1941; we hardly know him any better today.

    I Salute this Show and the men involved not just the people who made it but those whose lives we saw portrayed. A little known fact not related to the Band of Brothers, but to another branch of the service the Army Air Corps which didn't become an official branch of the service. The Air War over Europe claimed the lives of 25,000 pilots and crews in 9 months. In the entire War in the Pacific the Marines lost 24,000 over 3 years. That's quite a sobering thought. Great reactions and thoughts thanks.

    Congratulations for completing this masterpiece series. Now many people will tell you to watch The Pacific next but be warned, that is not the same journey this series was lol. There was a book that was written about the Pacific war titled "War with no Mercy", It was an apt title. The battle in the pacific was unforgiving attrition fighting against a fanatical enemy that saw death as the only alternative to victory. It is equally well done but they actually had hold back the authenticity because it would sicken audiences if they saw how awful the conditions and fighting were in the Pacific. The losses suffered combined with the area covered made it impossible to follow one group from start to finish unlike like Band of rothers.

    So legend has it that one of the superiors told Spiers something like “you should’ve shot him and saved us the trouble.” That was regarding the trooper who shot Grant. The shooter was court martialed and eventually went back to civilian life.

    Someone may have already said this below, but Sgt. Grant, who got shot in the head by the I Company replacement (who had not been in combat, but was a bad seed, was VERY drunk and had already robbed some Germans and raped some, and was then prosecuted), did live; Webster WAS there from the beginning as one of the original Easy Co, men at Camp Toccoa, but was gone for 1-2 months after getting wounded in Holland so he missed Bastogne; and the point system was come up with toward the end of the war because otherwise they were in for the duration of the war.

    Grants shooting report said Pvts Craver & Houge had been drinking & smoking pot all evening, when Carver killed 2 German civilians & two British soldiers who came to help b4 shooting Sgt Grant. Houge said Carver was "appeared to be insane". Grant had some paralysis on one side, but was a tobbacanist in SF & attended Easy reunions. He died in 1984.

    No one seems to have done a reaction to it. But "The Liberator" a 4 episode series on Netflix follows the true story of a Regiment that served 500 days straight in WW2 made up of Native Americans, White Southerners and Mexican-Americans that made a large impact on the war. I'd enjoy seeing y'all do a reaction to that series.

    27:51. If you go back to Episode 4, "Replacements", to watch the scene where Sergeant Talbert is making out with the Dutch girl as Lt. Peacock pulls him away, you will see Babe Heffron in the foreground, waving a little Dutch flag. Babe had been on set that day and they put him in the show.

    Guys, please react to the special, We stand alone together. Its all the boys talking about their experiences in the battles, as some of these clips were played at the start of each episode. Its such a fantastic way to close out the series. Great reactions all the way through btw. Keep up the good work. I also cant recommend another HBO series enough, Chernobyl which dramatically documents the nuclear disaster in the old Soviet Union. Its a five part series that is crazy well acted and the events that unfold are extremely shocking.

    Sergeant Grant, while he did survive, he passed away peacefully in his home in 1976, but he never regained any of his memories of his life before he was shot in the head by that Private in Austria, the Private however, not only was he caught, but it was discovered that he not only shot Sergeant Grant in the head, he also shot and killed the 2 checkpoint sentries, one was a German Captain, and the other was a British Major, but BEFORE he did that he also shot and killed 3 other allied soldiers at a different checkpoint, a Canadian Sergeant, an American Captain, and a German Lieutenant, he was found by Sergeants Malarkey and Randleman, when they found him he was raping a young Austrian girl, after Captain Spiers ordered them to turn him over to the MP's, he was transported back to Fort Leavenworth Kansas where he waited for his court martial in 1946, he was found guilty of 5 counts of murder, 2 of them premeditated, 1 count of aggravated rape, and 1 count of attempted murder, he was hanged in Fort Leavenworth in late 1946.

      'Former' Marine? I was a Marine when Reagan was president and I am no longer in the Marine Corps, but I'll never be a former Marine. 2MAW Oorah!
      And for the record, The Pacific is even more graphic and personal to me - especially as a Marine. The only thing missing in 'The Pacific' were living veterans for commentary - but by the time the series came out, they were all gone but one.

      @@TheSocratesian Hanks and Spielberg must have caught so much grief at cocktail parties about "romanticizing" war in BoB that they purposely degraded The Pacific. Honestly the last episode, I couldn't tell if we had won the war or lost. I'm not alone. Every Memorial Day and Veterans day Band of Brothers is played on various cable TV channels. The Pacific is no where to be found.
