That quote at the end about grandpa not being a hero is Winters reciting something a close friend wrote to him. Winters maintained friendships with many of his fellow soldiers, and this was a letter from Mike Ranney. Ranney was one of the sergeants who protested Winters’ courts martial (he was busted down to private, but ended up being promoted back to his former rank). Ranney was telling Winters about his own grandson. Winters shared that letter because of the sentiment and friendship.

Without a doubt, Band of Brothers is the best series ever produced for television. From top to bottom - writing, directing, camera work, set design and the top notch casting and acting. It hits hard because we feel a part of it and believe these are the real soldiers we're watching. On a side note, when I was in my teens and 20s I bartended in a few places. One place was a restaurant in the heart of the downtown business district. One of my semi-regular customers was a kind and humble stock broker named Stan. He only ever had one beer, a dark ale, and I could see how he enjoyed that first sip as if it were the last one he'd ever have. A few years later, and a different career for me, I was Christmas shopping in the local mall and stopped at an empty store where some older guys were selling a book they all had a part in. Each of them had been aircrew members during WWII and this book told their stories, plus dozens of others. I bought my copy and, upon reading it, was surprised to read that one of the stories was of an RAF pilot who flew Lancaster bombers. It was Stan, complete with a photo of exactly how I remembered him. I wish I'd had the chance to meet him again but it wasn't in my destiny that our paths would recross.

@@scottdarden3091 _(for one thing it's true)_ Where to begin. Large portions of Band of Brothers are fictional or embellishments but I will highlight only a few because they are central to the episodes. 1) Episode 6: Eugene Roe and Renée Lemaire almost certainly never met. Renée Lemaire and Augusta Chiwy, known as the "Angels of Bastogne," were volunteer nurses at the aid station of the 20th Armored Infantry Battalion of the 10th Armored Division and their association with the 101st was minimal. And the aid station was not located in a church. 2) Episode 9: The camp liberation scenes are fictional. The camp depicted in Band of Brothers is Kaufering IV which was actually liberated by the 12th Armored Division on April 27, 1945 with some units of the 101st arriving on April 28 and Easy company arriving on April 29. 3) Episode 10: Berchtesgaden was actually captured in the early afternoon of May 4, 1945 by the 7th Infantry Regiment of the 3rd Infantry Division with the French 2nd Armored Division arriving later that afternoon and the 101st arriving in the morning of May 5. 4) Also Episode 10: Members of he 7th Infantry Division and French 2nd Armored Division claim to have reached the Eagle's Nest hours before the 101st arrived and many military historians accept their claims (e.g., National WW2 Museum). 5) also Episode 10: There is no evidence that members of Easy Company killed an unnamed commandant of unnamed concentration camp. What is shown in Band of Brothers is strikingly similar to the killing of Franz Ziereis who had been commandant of Mauthausen. Like the commandant in Band of Brothers, Franz Ziereis was hiding out in a mountain cabin when U.S. soldiers, who had been given a tip, went to the cabin to arrest him. Franz Ziereis was shot three times trying to escape.

Webster wrote not only a book about sharks but also about his experience in WW2. However, the publishers refused it based on the fact that it was not a heroic book. Publishers wanted The Lone Wolf soldier as a hero book, not a memoir about the war. When Stephen Ambrose was writing Band of Brothers, he discovered that Webster wrote the book and got permission from Webster's family to publish it. Some of what you see in the series came from Webster's book, but a lot was not put in there. He was very honest about his thoughts on the officers (for the most part he thought they were terrible) and on other issues in the war. The title of the book is "Parachute Infantry: An American Paratrooper's Memoir of D-Day and the Fall of the Third Reich" by David Kenyon Webster. It was a great read.

The Army needed a system to decide in what order folks would get to go home, since not everyone could go home at the same time. The system heavily prioritized people with children under the age of 18 to get them home as soon as possible, and focused on medals awarded and time in service overseas as other criteria.

For those who are unfamiliar with the use of the term "Demoted" in the military, it can signify a lowering of a persons rank (Usually a forfeiture of stripes/brass and/or pay, meant as a punishment for a misdeed). One can also be demoted by a lowering of a person's job level (Not usually meant as a punishment). In Nix's case, he still kept his rank and job, but he was being transferred from Division (A higher level in the military), back down to Battalion (A lower level than Division). So, even though he was technically demoted in job status, he was not demoted as the result of anything he did personally.

The extras who acted has the prisoners where actual Cancer Patients getting or awaiting treatment. When making the concentration camp scene, behind the scenes people asked many of the actors if they want to see a memorial in order to get ready for it, all of them said no because they wanted to see the concentration camp with virgin eyes like the real E Company did over 80 years ago. The shock and awe from the actors are raw and real. I cry every time when I reach to Episode 9 because has someone who has a degree in history, we can never forget the atrocistes of the Holocaust. (Side Note: Babe Heffron said that the depiction in BoB wasn't accurate - in reality it was 1000 times worse.) Many people of today especially the young who are forgetting that the Jewish people have lost so much because of one man and many of his followers did to them. That is why Mossad was created in Israel "Central Institute for Intelligence and Special Operations," because when Nazi Germany was losing the war, many high level Nazis escaped to other countries especially to Buenos Aires, Argentina. When Mossad agents get information on a Nazi escapee's they go and get them, send them back to Israel, put them on trial, and finally hanged. Mossad even today are still looking for any Nazis from WWII, even though many are old men and women, Mossad still will hang them for murdering their people.

My favorite detail of this whole series comes right at the beginning of Episode 9, and not many people pick up on it because it's SO subtle. Liebgott, in talking about the Germans cleaning up the town, says "all you need is a little Mozart" and Nixon corrects him firmly, saying "That's not Mozart, that's Beethoven." The reason being, Mozart was Austrian (like Hilter), while Beethoven was true German. A very subtle sign that Nixon recognizes that the German people are finished with Hitler and anything associated with him.

Mine too, such a powerful moment. Although, I saw it differently initially. Not so much as saying the Germans were finally ridding themselves of the destruction by and of hitler, but more that the blame for this destruction didn’t escape the German people. The people of this particular town lived so close to the camps they could practically smell them. Their family members and neighbors worked there. There’s no way they were ignorant of those facts the whole time. This tragedy is German as well as Hitlerian. How I saw it. Love your interpretation as well.

So glad you watched this series Addie. It's really important that we as society remember what can happen when pure evil is allowed to flourish, as it was with Nazi Germany. I think my first exposure to the Holocaust was in the fifth grade. One of my teachers grew up in the U.S. during WWII, and remembered the blackout curtains that her family drew over the windows in case of an air raid or German spies using lighted windows as location markers for bombers. Over cautious maybe because of the distance, but they were concerned none the less. But I also remember reading "The Diary Of Anne Frank" and that may have been her assignment for us. On a less ominous note, she did say that they heard stories about POW's digging tunnels and escaping German POW camps, but that it wasn't like the CBS comedy Hogan's Heroes.

Two of my favorite moments from ep 9 that often rarely get mentioned are: 1. Webster saying "Bullshit!" to the baker. So many German citizens claimed they had no idea about the concentration camps... but many of them knew. They had to. They just didn't want to admit it to themselves that they were supporters of the most evil regime in the history of the world. Webster wasn't buying that shit. 2. The German woman from the house house was disgusted with Nixon's disrespect of her husband' photo (who I'm sure she clearly loved). But when she sees him again, she has a new look: one of pure shame and guilt. And since her husband was a decorated officer, he either knew about and supported these camps, could have even directed a camp, or he was still fighting on the side capable of it. So the audacity of her original anger with Nixon was thrown right back at her 1000x more. And she knows it.

Your comment is of an opinion not fact. Many Germans knew about the camps but not all to the extent or details. Some offered food and tried to help, other engaged in their labour and as early as 1933. The German officer photo was shown as a deceased soldier (black ribbon on the frame) and more so an Army officer of Major or Lt Colonel and not necessarily with any factual evidence that he was aware of details of the Nazi atrocities.

People like Popeye, Bull, Buck, Alley, O’Keefe, Tipper and many others. It serves as a perfect capstone / episode 11 for the miniseries. It also includes a bunch of archival footage and pics and shows some of the vets’ postwar relationship with each other. It also gives lots of context. Winters talks about his thoughts on some of what was portrayed Episode 9: the looting and commandeering German homes to bed his men, and of course the Holocaust.

Grandfather landed on the beaches on D Day, survived through to demob in '46. Dad served 39 years from the late '50's onwards. I served for a decade including 3 operational theatres. My corps (part of the British Army) has a lot of records and photographs from the liberation of the camps, what they found, what happened, the capture of guards and subsequent trials and a lot more, most of which isn't worth going into detail here and now. It is true that there was a lot of animosity from the troops directed at the local civilians, not able to comprehend how they claimed not to have known, when there were accounts of ash settling from the sky on regular occasions. I'm aware that a British commander ordered the civilians from the local town to one camp, to attend, and see for themselves what the camp was all about, which included a display of macabre items found in the German Camp commandant's accommodation. Some of the most twisted and sick examples of human behaviour I've ever known about. We were based near Bergan Belsen in the '70's when I was a small kid, and it was commonly visited by service personnel and their families at least once, whilst in Germany. Partly to pay respects, but also to learn and remember what had gone before. Sadly this wasn't the last time that genocide on a mass scale has been committed by mankind. Makes you wonder just what it will take for us, as a species, to learn.

That "This place reminds me of Bastogne" line was an in-joke they threw in to lighten the mood of the otherwise heavy episode. The production crew had created their own forest to film the forest scenes on, so this was the same set, just without snow on it.

It's a life-changing series, isn't it? The first few episodes I remember wondering how on earth I would ever be able to remember their names or tell the men apart form each other, and by the 5th episode I felt like they were old dear friends that I couldn't bear to lose. I have watched this series every couple years since it was released 23 years ago, and now I enjoy watching other people experience it for the first time; it's the closest I'll get to experiencing it for the first time again. And I either tear up or straight up weep like an abandoned toddler at the same exact points; the kid with the chocolate bar, the beautiful woman washing Malarkey's uniform, the kid tasting chocolate for the first time, the hero nurse tossing at the chocolate bar to Eugene (Pour vous!), Buck lying in bed crunching up the letter, 1600 people paying their respects to Luz, and so many more. The last few moments of the series are perfect. I would have been so pleased and completely satisfied if the series ended with Winters telling us about how he finally found that little farm, but when they surprise us revealing the real men of the 101st it becomes the most perfect ending I think I've ever seen.

Thank you Addie for guiding us through this series. On more interview to watch is with the actor who played Frank Perconte and the interview with the actor who played Liebgott. In fact, I think that the best acting in the entire series was Liebgott sitting down after telling the concentration camp inmates that they had to stay in the camp.

The timing in which this show was created and made available to watch was just perfect. Most of the Easy Company men were still alive to give interviews, and being included in each episode brought home to us a bigger sense of realism and familiarity. In other words, we were more aware that this happened to real people and we were following their journey with them. I think that fact above all else; besides the outstanding production value, casting, directing style, editing, music score, cinematography etc. is what sets Band of Brothers apart as everyone's favorite war series. And I feel that is what drives the emotional punch at the end of the last episode. Thank you so much for your reactions to this show, I never get tired of re-watching this show with good reactors. I am so glad you will be watching the documentary of "We Stand Alone Together" and I really hope you will be posting your reactions to that one as well. Cheers.

I've seen interviews with some of the actors in recent years. I think they actually have reunions like the original Easy company survivors did for decades. It's interesting how the actors whose real life counterparts were still alive said that when they talked to these men, most were reluctant to talk about themselves. but when asked about another Easy man, they were more than willing to share stories and anecdotes about their buddies.

If you want to hear the Gory Gory song, look up Vincent Speranza Gory Gory. He is an old 101st soldier, who recently passed. He fought in Bastogne and sings the song word for word. You probably already know, but many of the extras in the camp scene never got to see the series. Many were Cancer Patients and didn't survive to see the show. In the surrender scene, they missed out on a huge story. Winters accepted a pistol from a surrendering German, and was shocked to find it was never fired. He never fired it either, even after he brought it home.

Still one of the best tv series ever made, and arguably the best war series ever. Since then we got plenty of good shows. Epic shows. Even two follow-ups to BoB - The Pacific, and Masters of the Air (both of which are good), but none like this. When it came out in 2001, this was unprecedented. To see this quality in a television show, and a historical one, based on true events, about such a legendary unit. This was awesome.

A quote that has stayed with me for a very long time: "I cherish the memories of a question my grandson asked me the other day when he said, "Grandpa, were you a hero in the war?" Grandpa said "No…but I served in a company of heroes." During my time I saw service in multiple active environments, and as a result of deployments over those years we lost more than 20 people, which in a small part of the Army was massively significant and impactful. Even though it has been 18 years since I left, it has been our duty, those of us that got to go home, to make sure that those that didn't are never forgotten. I've seen children grow into adults without a parent, families moving on without a loved one, and colleagues shedding a tear in remembrance of those lost, myself included. I've often been asked about my service, the things I did, the things I saw, why, and whether I would so the same again, and so I have had plenty of time to reflect on the decision I made to serve, and just how to answer those kinds of questions on the occasions that they are asked. In recent years the answer I have settled on is this: 'The things you do when you are young'.

Happy St Patricks Day, there is another episode, We Stand Alone Together there are were the interviews are. It has been a pleasure watching with you. If you remember episode one when sobal was transferred Winters gave him a salute which wasn't returned he got even.I would like to suggest for your consideration a few movies dealing with the holocaust, "Conspiracy" it is about a meeting of nazi officers and officials about the final solution, it is a HBO made movie. "The Monuments Men" about stolen and recovery of items by the nazi's and "Woman in Gold" Helen Mirren stars, about her quest to get a family painting stolen during the war. Great emotional reaction as usual.

Firstly, please please please be sure to watch the documentary We Stand Alone Together: The Men of Easy Company. It's where the interviews are taken from and takes you through the whole war with them telling the story and real footage. Many use it as pretty much an 11th episode of the series. So Easy did go to the concentration camp, but they weren't the ones who found it. This fact really wasn't important to the story IMO though. I remember an interview with I _think_ Babe about Holocaust denial. Nixon's character during the war is so expertly performed. Truth is, some in Easy really didn't get along with him. Especially Compton. He was quite a difficult character for many to get along with. When he was demoted, it was only because of his friendship with Winters that he was kept around. Winters agreed to keep Nix under control. I think Livingston threads that needle so so well. He plays a difficult character without making him dislikeable by the viewer, because he's in the series so much. When writing the book, Ambrose received two concerns that the publisher had. They were nervous of possible lawsuits. Ambrose passed the concerns to Winters. The first was Nixon's alchoholism. Winters dismissed that concern, as he knew his best friend would not mind it being discussed. The second was what Speirs did on D-day with the prisoners, because it was a war crime (albeit one that had been ordered and solved a logistical issue when behind enemy lines). Winters called Speirs and asked him if the stories were true, and shared the publisher's concerns. He confirmed them and wrote a signed letter confirming it to ease the concerns. But yeah. The documentary. Highly recommended! It is on KZitem if it's not available elsewhere.

The writing of episode 9 is so brilliant. We start with the men of Easy Company discussing how in another life the Germans and the men of Easy may have been good friends. It it gives this sense of humanizing the Germans. As the episode goes on we see Janovich reading the article about "why the war is being fought" then a few moments later Webster exclaims "what the fuck are we doing here?" It really makes you realize that up until this point the men of Easy just knew the Germans were "bad" they had no idea the extent of what the Nazis had done as far as the camps. That scene of Perconte sprinting back to regime to find Winters really drives the point home that the men had no idea what they had found. As soon as the men enter the camp the question of "why we fight" is answered immediately.
