When the real Winters says "I served in a company of heroes," it makes me think of the scene when Winters told Nix to tell the parents of the new men who were killed before they could even jump out of their plane that their sons died as heroes, and when Nix asked if he believed that, he said yes "Yes. I do."

Something interesting on the pistol the officer wanted to surrender. In the show, Winters letting the German officer keep his sidearm was meant to be a sign of respect. But in real life he did keep the sidearm, as it was given not just as a surrender, but as a gift. He and his family would later find out that it was a weapon that had *never* been fired. That pistol has still never been fired, and he and his family agreed that it will never be fired. A surrender over a weapon that never has been and never will be used.

13:45 Just as with a lot of events in the series, this was an actual event and was more or less how it happened, except Speirs hit the guy with a rifle butt and said: "I've killed better men than you." The a-hole replacement was subsequently beaten up more by the MP's before being court-martialed. 15:30 The Germans began the war on September 1, 1939, and Germany surrendered in May, 1945. War might have been long for the Americans, but it was even longer for the Germans. 16:08 The outdoor scenes in this episode were shot in Switzerland. When actor Neal McDonough (Buck Compton), who was then no longer showing up on set because he had no scenes to be shot, heard that they needed to have him there for a week, he said: "Heck, yeah!" 17:25 Spandau Prison inmates like Rudolf Hess hated Speirs for the strict way he ran things when he was in charge. Trivia: Dick Winters played a large role in making sure Band of Brothers would portray Easy Company - his men - as accurately as possible. When he saw that there would be a lot of swearing (particularly his character - and Dick Winters didn't swear), he gave an ultimatum to Tom Hanks to have his character not swear and to cut back on the swearing in general, or else he and the rest of Easy Company would drop their support for the project. Tom Hanks waffled, and the man who played a leader in war movies eventually gave way to the guy who had experienced the real thing. Perhaps no surprise there, given who Dick Winters was, both as a person and a leader.

The shooting of Charles E Grant was a real occurrence and happened on the 27 of may 1945. It was a bit different then displayed on the show however and I think it’s an important part to learn about the show and about history. Private Floyd W. Carver and another Private Dewey Houge soldier had spent all afternoon and night drinking before deciding to head to the town of Saalfelden for more drinks and fun. During their trip their vehicle ran out of gas and the two men waved down a passing German couple, one of which who was a German army captain on his way home from the Soviet front after his surrender. Carver saw that the captain had a pistol on him as he was a captain and was allowed to keep his sidearm and demanded that he hand it over. when the captain refused an altercation broke out however Houge the second man with Carver broke it up and told the car to drive on. Once it did carver fired rounds from his pistol into the back of the car causing it to swerve into a ditch, from there Carver walked over to the car and executed the Captain. Houge fled the scene in fear of Carver to report it In the local town and to call for an ambulance. It’s then reported that Carver shot possibly at some passing Soviet soldiers and before long the search for Carver was a foot Soon later carver was discovered hiding outside a barn by two British soldiers , major Martin R.G Watkin and Warrant officer Dodd. The two men didn’t know who Carver was. Carver convinced the two to help him with a vehicle and the men obliged yet at the same time a US army truck carrying Sgt Chuck Grant and one other man who we see in the show drives past and asks if the men need any help. The British major exclaims they don’t and as Grants truck pulls off carver fires two rounds into the back of the truck. It is then when Grant exits his vehicle and demands to know why Carver shot at his vehicle and requests his sidearm, Grant is then shot in the head as we see in the show. However then carver turned to the British soldiers who were now fleeing and shoots Major Watkin killing him. Carver is then captured and the rest in the show is pretty historical. A side note is that Lt speirs later said the only reason he had not shot Carver was because he was unsure if they had the right man apprehended. Carver was sentenced to life in prison and died in 1987. Grant would make a recovery yet would always be troubled by his injury up till his death in 1984, he had a wife and kids. I think it is good for us to remember the names of those killed aswell as they had survived the war and yet were unjustly killed. Lest we forget Major Watkin of the British intelligence corps and Captain Altacher of the German Gebirgsjäger.

Also its was a different kind of war not just a clash of political views but a clash of very different cultures.

Hitler had been entrenched in Berlin which was under siege by the Russian army. By that point he was essentially running the war out of a bunker and was apparently frustrated with his command staff and remaining Generals for not pushing the invaders back and not coming to his aid. The German forces were exhausted by this point. Within Berlin they actually resorted to suiting up children in uniforms and sending them out with guns to fight. The war was more or less over and out of fear for the reprisals the Russians would take against him (The German army had been exceedingly brutal and cruel in the East) Hitler committed suicide. He toon a cyanide capsule and then shot himself before his body was taken outside and doused in gasoline before being burned. Despite this, and despite the news of his demise the German army did not surrender immediately. Hitler was for all intents and purposes the Chancelor of the Nazi party, but the party did not die with him. As the writing on the wall became apparent for everyone however the German army itself did begin to concede and surrender to the allied forces en masse, but the time between Hitler's death and the official end of the war in Europe took some time. It is also important to distinguish as many historic accounts often neglect to mention that the Nazis, were a political party, not the military. The state was a militant state, but you could be unaffiliated with the Nazi party and still serve in the military forces. The exception to this being that in the early years of the war, those who were counted among the S.S. were doubtlessly affiliated as Nazis, and were the personal army of the Nazi party and had to show a bunch of details about their citizenship and lineage to even be considered.

I hope you will take the time to watch the series "The Pacific" about the Marines in the Pacific theater. My father enlisted in the Navy in September for six years to be a Corpsman, the Navy's Medic. He was told the Navy was going to send him to Boot Camp followed by months of Corpsman School, both located in San Diego, and after his school he would be able to take two weeks leave, before reporting to his first command. He Graduated boot camp and checked in on 6 December 1941. Due to the Japanese attack the next day, after he completed Corpsman School he was shipped to Naval Hospital Pearl Harbor. In March 1944 he was sent back to San Diego to Corpsman's Field Medical School and to be integrated into the Marine Corps. He was allowed to take 24 days of leave, the first and only leave of his six year enlistment. He was transferred to the 3rd Marine Battalion and was at the Battle of Okinawa. When the war ended he was sent to Japan, as part of the first Occupation Marines, where he stayed till the end of his enlistment in 1947. He only ever told us about him being at Pearl Harbor and Japan, he never said a word to any of us, about even being in Okinawa. We only found out after his death when my oldest brother went to the military records and got a copy of his records.

Yes, this actually happened. Speirs doing what he did actually happened as well. Every single thing Speirs did is absolutely 110% true.

The general interviewing Maj. Winters was Lt. Gen. Chapman, the commander of the 13th Airborne Division. The line I like most was when he says, "The bastards took your company away." The general commanded a company in WWI so he knew what it was like.

The Austrian scenes were actually filmed in Switzerland. The large red building is a hotel right next to the Reichenbach Falls, where Moriaty and Sherlock fought their battle. My first ever trip abroad was to Hitlers Eagles Nest and Zell Am See, which is where the war ended for Easy. They are only 10s of miles apart. Well worth a visit if you ever get a chance. The majority of the show was filmed in Hertfordshire, 45 minutes drive from my home town in Essex. They built each town, shot the scenes and then ripped them down and built the next. The woods of Bastogne were actually filmed in a large warehouse. I visited Bastogne and Foy also. There are still fox holes in the woods, splintered trees and even the bullet marks around the window Shifty killed the sniper in. What a show. What a group of heroes. What a story.

In the old days of kings of feudalism through even the U.S. Civil War, a conquered king, general or ranking officer would surrender his sword to the one that defeated him. It was shown as a sign of submission and the ceasing of hostilities. For instance, when General Cornwallis surrendered to General George Washington to hasten the end of the American Revolution, Cornwallis didn't want to face Washington. So, he pretended to be ill. As such, Cornwallis sent his second-in-command (along with Cornwallis's sword) to surrender. Washington accepted the surrender but not the sword. Rather, he instructed his second-in-command (a guy named Benjamin Lincoln) to accept Cornwallis's sword. Surrendering of the sword was the practice in war. In fact, you can see General Santa Anna's sword at a museum in San Antonio, Texas. General Lee's sword is on display in Appomattox, Virginia (the site of the Confederate surrender). History museums around the world often display surrendered swords. In more modern times (20th century onward), the defeated ranking generals or officers would surrender their sidearms to the ranking officer/general. As for the Nazi officer: As evil as Hitler, Goebbels, etc. were and as horrendous the crimes against humanity were (as committed by the Germans), not all of the Nazi soldiers were inherently evil. Enlisted men and even officers were simply conscripted to serve in the military. In fact, some of the conquered Polish, Czech, Slavic, Austrian and even French men and women were conscripted to join the German army (otherwise under penalty of death). This is the premise of THE SOUND OF MUSIC (i.e., Captain Von Trapp's conscription). There were some officers who were completely unaware of the crimes against humanity by Germany. Some wrestled with the racial propaganda against Jews, Gypsies, etc. versus their "patriotic duty" to their homeland. In fact, some German officers tried to KILL Hitler and his cronies. There is a sense of comradery on the battlefield -- despite obvious differences too. America tended to treat prisoners of war well (partly because it was right and partly because we wanted to hasten surrender among enemy troops). Oddly enough, Americans and the British were allied with Stalin and the Soviets out of necessity. Stalin had previously signed a pact with the Nazis but found himself betrayed later on. Stalin and the Soviets were arguably more brutal than the Nazis too (with Stalin "purging" up to 20 Million of his own people for political, religious and ideological reasons). Most generals would regard the treatment and alliance as "necessary evils." However, there is still a mutual respect among officers -- even at the end of wars.

True. Not many ppl mention the fact about the "average" German soldier. Almost all those in the Wehrmacht were just like any average troop in any other army. They were drafted or volunteered to serve their country, their homes. It was those with the lightning bolts that were the evil ones. SS troops were Nazi and true believers.
