Plus a big chunk of the troops had SMG's, either Thompsons or grease guns, and M1 Carbines later on in the war. So there was versatility, just not on an individual level. It wasn't as bad as WWI where basically the whole company was just dudes with long rifles trying to clear trenches.

If I remember correctly, this is supposed to portray Bull's hand to hand combat encounter on D-Day. In the book, it states that Bull was found by some of his buddies in D-Day after they heard sounds of beating in the middle of the woods. When they went to check it out, they found Bull wiping blood off his face right next to a dead german on the ground. This is a great TV Show, I'm glad a lot of kids in this generation are now getting a good glimpse of it due to it being posted on netflix for the past few months. Good reaction Kurt and Buck!

Fun Fact: Cobb, the guy who told the newbie Miller to remove the medal from his uniform, was one of the few Easy Company members who had combat experience before Normandy. He was with the 1st Armored Division during Operation Torch, the invasion of North Africa.
@przemekkozlowski7835

In the first scene, to be fair to Cobb, he was already a veteran of fighting in North Africa and survived having his troopship sunk by a U-Boat. On D-Day he was ready to jump into Normandy but a flak shell put a piece of shrapnel through his leg that put him in the hospital for a month. So he really had nothing to prove to the new guys or the other veterans. He was apparently the type of guy whose behaviour pissed off the officers and NCOs but he got along fine with the rank privates after they got to know him. He did become a serious discipline problem later on.

You gotta think about the Garand in context, though. Just about every other army at the time were primarily armed with versions of what they had been armed with during WW1. Bolt-action, 5 shot (except the SMLE), rifles. Here come the Americans, with a self loading rifle, with an 8 shot magazine. It was actually kind of revolutionary.

@@snowbear163 That's a difference in doctrine. European (especially German) doctrine centered around machine guns. The riflemen were there to flush out the enemy into the MG's killbox. Not being the main focus, bolt guns were adequate for the job. US doctrine was the opposite. The MG supported the unit by laying down suppressing fire so that the riflemen could maneuver, flank, and advance on the enemy. This is where the Garand shined. It had both higher capacity and rate of fire than the K98 and Arisaka, giving GIs the advantage in a firefight.

@snowbear163 they werent centered around the fire power of machine guns alone. Well trained military during ww2 yes indeed relied on machine guns but it was the combined arms tactics and also superior weaponry. The germans probably had some of the best equipment at the time. The kar98 is comparable to the Mosin and Springfield. Just that the Springfield fired a better round. And that the germans brought the MP40 9mm luger, amazing smg. Walther p38 and or Luger pretty amazing pistols. The germans then also have the mg 34 and mg 42 amazing machines. Hence made the amercians needing to design their own machine guns the browning m2 and browning m1919A4, of course can't forget the Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR) which in replaced the need for an squad to carry along an M1919A4 and that M1919A4s would go along with some platoons to be positioned in like towns or defensive perimeters

Regarding the knife vs embedded shrapnel scene. As someone in the medical field, we tell people NOT to do that. However, playing devil's advocate, if the shrapnel was embedded in a muscle or muscle group that you needed to use in order to not get killed in the battlefield, you "might" not want this sharp piece of metal moving around and slicing more tissue/muscle everytime you HAVE to use those muscles (because the Germans aren't going to let you take it easy). Imagine someone wiggling that jagged shrapnel in your upper back/posterior shoulder area every time you had to move your arms or contract your back muscles. In that context, I can see maybe wanting it out. Usually your health and wellbeing are paramount. But sometimes it's pure functionality you need, and that might be a reason to do things your local doc would shriek at you about.

There was some horizontal collaboration with allied troops, as well. My mom was 7 years old when WWII ended, living in Germany, with 2 siblings and her mom. Her dad had been killed on the Eastern Front. They rented an apartment in the biggest house in their village. So they ended up getting kicked out for a while by American troops. As seen in a later Band of Brothers episode. My grandma was a modest woman. She went back and asked if she could work on the garden in the backyard. When the Americans moved on, they left behind a large consignment of food that was hard to get for Germans at the time. My parents still have the furniture where they left the food. So huge sentimental value. A woman down the road decided to fraternize with Americans horizontally. She found her mattress cut to shreds after the Americans had left.

Paratroopers weren’t actually issued the BAR until the last year of the war. The reason was because they didn’t have a good way to jump with it. Glider infantry units were issued them, but the paratroopers were using belt fed M1919 Brownings for the LMG role. It wasn’t until Jan of 1945 when the paratroopers were allotted one BAR per squad, but unlike the regular army, they gave the BAR to a rifleman and kept the belt fed M1919s for the LMG role. They were allotted more Thompsons and Grease Guns than other units.
