I can confirm that final card. Back in the late 1980s, while I was learning to be a young Army officer, we studied this attack as a perfect example of how to assault an entrenched position held by superior numbers. The show doesn't really get across how well this assault was performed. Winters took 17 men and accomplished his mission suffering only two casualties: one killed, one wounded, despite facing between 50 and 70 enemy troops. It was truly remarkable.

Major Richard "Dick" Winters (Damian Lewis) is the kind of guy I'd describe as a natural born leader, you just can't teach what he's doing and I bet he kept plenty of guys alive. Also, I always felt Staff Sergeant William "Wild Bill" Guarnere (Frank John Hughes) opening fire on the horse cart was retaliation for his brother's death.

That opening scene is one of the most intense things I've ever seen in film. It also provides some perspective for Saving Private Ryan when they talk about paratroopers missing their dropzones and asking how they wound up so far away. It's also a wonder to me how Donnie Wahlberg gets less acting rolls and is less known than Mark because he's a much better actor.

There aren’t very many of these people left. So when you see some old guy in his late 90s doddering along at Walmart or sitting on a park bench, watching the world go by, just remember that when he was 19 or 20 years old, he was doing sh!t like this. His tour of duty was “for the duration of the war”. And when he came home he didn’t complain or even talk about it. He didn’t want to remember. He wanted to forget. It was only near the end of their lives that these men finally broke down and told their stories to the generation of their grandchildren and then they practically had to drag it out of them for the sake of history. They truly didn’t want to remember. They are rightly called the greatest generation. Selfless and courageous and honorable, at one time they were the baddest MFs who ever walked the Earth.

Love your reactions and your comments about this show. In my opinion its the greatest series every made, and the fact that the story is true makes it that much more impactful Lets put this in prospective for a minute, these men came in from civilian life spent two years training. On their first day Winters led 12 men in battle they successfully took out a fixed emplacement manned by over 50 soldiers. Also not sure if you are up on military honors, but the Distinguished Service Cross is the second highest honor our country can give a service man, second only to the Medal of Honor, and Winters earned his DSC on his first day in battle. He was an amazing leader solider and man. Keep watching the series i look forward to seeing your reactions to all the episodes. Also not sure anyone has yet mentioned it but I strongly recommend that when you finish the 10 episodes of the series you watch "We Stand Alone Together" the documentary about Easy company that was made along side the series. It is where the interviews you see at the start of the episode are taken from. Of course there is plenty of stuff that does not make the series and it gives you a great insight into the thoughts and feelings of the men as the war moves along. Keep up the great work!

Many of the US paratroopers did not have quick-release mechanisms for their scute harnesses as the British paratroopers did. Before D-Day, the Nazi flooded a lot of fields in Normandy, so when the paratroopers jumped, many landed in the flooded field and drowned from the weight of their equipment. Very sad footnote to this chapter of the war.

Damian Lewis captured Dick Winters so beautifully and with such apparent ease, that we almost don't realise what an absolutely stupendous actor he is. The greatest actor of his generation, IMO.

I am retired from a school district in Colorado (23 years) - where for the first 15 years I worked at a High School . For most of my time there, the high school had an Oral History Day for the Freshmen students who were studying WWII where they brought in veterans of WWII to talk to the students about their experiences of the war. All I can tell you is that those men and their stories held both the STUDENTS and the FACULTY SPELLBOUND. Best wishes and take care:)

To hear you describe the events like you are…warms my heart. Spread the word about this type of stuff to others. Every May…the country observes Memorial Day. That day is to be in remembrance of the sacrifice of the men and woman who have worn the uniform. It’s not simply a day off…to BBQ or go to the lake and celebrate being off work. It’s to take a moment and remember. On Memorial Day…drive past a cemetery and observe the families just sitting by the graveside of a fallen loved one. It will change you as a person. There is a photo on the internet of a young mother with a blanket spread on the ground in front of her husbands headstone. She is clutching her child and weeping… That’s how she spends her Memorial Day… Her husband never got to see his child. These were 17-18-19 year old boys in this series. They don’t know what manhood is yet. They soon learn it and you will witness it by time this series is over.

The whole purpose of their job was to jump behind enemy lines, disrupt/destroy enemy operations, and then delay any more of the enemy from countering the beach assault. Surrounded with a very real possibility of no support or rescue coming. Especially if the beach landings failed. Hard to wrap your head around someone willingly going into that. One of my favorite lines (much later in the series) is "We're paratroopers. We're supposed to be surrounded."

Hi Asia and BJ. BOB was adapted the book by historian Steven Ambrose. He had planned to write about D-Day in general, but when He learned that a certain officer from the 101st Airborne E Company, 506PIR had written an extensive memoir and collected a scrapbook with a wealth of material, he decided to write BOB about Easy Company's exploits from Normandy to the end of the war. Because of these memours and several interviews of numerous members of Easy, Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks along with HBO, ended up making a mostly accurate account of it. However, its important to note that through out the series several instances of people, places and events have been folded into each other, and even changed, in order to fit it all into 10 episodes, and get a flavor for the truth. So a very accurate show, especially in places, still has some inaccuracies. Not all who fought agreed with some of the narratives. Some have since written their own accounts which sometimes differ. Some families took issue with how their ken were portrayed. But overall, I think the writers did their best to honor the men of Easy as best they could.

Lt. Lynn 'Buck' Compton did attend UCLA and was an All-American catcher for the baseball team. [ Among his baseball teammates was Jackie Robinson. Compton was later inducted into the UCLA Baseball Hall of Fame. He majored in physical education, with a minor in education. He also played with the UCLA football team in the 1943 Rose Bowl game on January 1, 1943.] My impression of the scene where he fumbles the grenade; it appeared to me that he was bumped in the back by the soldier behind him that caused him to drop the grenade. More info: At UCLA, Compton participated in ROTC. In December 1943, he joined the Army and was assigned to E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment in the 101st Airborne Division before Operation Overlord. Buck had the rank of 2nd Lieutenant at the time of D-day ( June 6th, 1944 ). Buck was assigned as assistant platoon leader to 2nd platoon prior to the parachute drop into Normandy. Due to casualties and shifting assignments Buck became the 2nd platoon Leader during the Normandy campaign.

14:10 The assault on the guns at Braecourt Manor was assigned to Easy Company, which consisted of 165 men. However, only 12 men from Easy Company were available. The rest were scattered about the countryside or already dead/wounded. The German gun position was manned by 60 soldiers, with machine guns, and protected in trenches and bunkers. 12 against 60. Easy Company destroyed all the heavy guns and killed about 20 Germans, while losing one American, who was actually a volunteer from Able Company. The American High Command, Eisenhower’s staff, expected to loose, as many as, 65% of all the paratroopers (killed/wounded) on that first day. The sacrifices of the paratroopers prevented the slaughter and defeat of the forces landing on the beaches of Normandy. The paratroopers did this by blocking and ambushing the German counterattacks, before those Germans could get help to the German troops fighting in the bunkers and trenches, defending the beaches. My family were close friends with one of those paratroopers, Eddy Nelson. Eddy was shot in the head in the battle at Normandy; but he survived, married his, beautiful, high school sweetheart (they were both, fresh out of school), and raised a beautiful family, despite Eddy’s permanent disabilities. He had a steel plate that replaced most of his skull, and lost a portion of his brain. He had a permanent loss of short term memory. He was always, gentle, kind, and friendly; as were his wife and children.

I forgot to mention from the first film where the interview was going with the real men of Easy Company where one of them said he recruiter said "you get paid $50 more a month". That was known as "Blood Money" because you are behind enemy lines with no support, surrounded, no way to be resupplied, and there's a high chance you may never come back. Also Currahee is a mountain here in Georgia where the airborne trained in Toccoa Georgia. Currahee Mountain is a name from the Cherokee Indians which means "Stand Alone". So the airborne adopted the name Currahee for "we stand alone together" due to the nature of who they are because when jumping behind enemy lines they will be surrounded by the enemy alone but together.

Great reaction guys. I took a trip this past September and was able to see where the HQ location was, within half mile of where the four guns were. I also walked the field where the guns and fighting took place. The series shows the battle taking a few minutes but it took a good part of the day. The soldier who was asking where HQ was and got killed is kinda of true, except it was a Warrant Officer who was killed who was actually bringing ammo to them. Also guns were not 88mm, but actually 105mm guns. Their actions knocking out the guns saved numerous lives on Utah Beach. Hands down the greatest generation 🫡.

In 2018 I was on a tour of Normandy and we went to Brecourt Manor, the guns Easy destroyed were 3 miles from Utah Beach, they were shelling the beach as Americans were landing on D-day, destroying those guns saved potentially hundreds of lives on Utah Beach.

This episode also explains why Saving Private Ryan was such a difficult search because of all the airborne misdrops caused by the German antiaircraft attacks. That's the part that really gets me... men training for two years, the first paratroopers ever, and many of them die before even getting a chance to jump out of the planes.

The road was red because that was where the road block made of dead horses had been. The Germans were still using a lot of horses for transportation, as seen earlier, and so were the French people. Sometimes the dead ones were put in a road and tied or chained together. It made for a messy to clear road block. The Sherman tank they got on near the end was one of the "funnies", a nickname for all of the specialized tanks used on D-Day. Those funnels on the engine deck were for air and exhaust to allow it to operate in somewhat deep water. The idea was that if the landing craft couldn't make it all the way to the beach, it could drive off the ramp as close as they could get and have a chance to wade in. Another type had canvas sides that could be pulled up and propellers on the back and it was supposed to be able swim in on its own. However, they could barely manage calm lake waters and most sank before they reached the beaches. The way the paratroopers were so spread out actually worked for the best strategically. Because so many contacts were happening all over the place, the Germans had trouble moving around and knowing exactly where to go.

Reel talk! Such a difference in my grandparents' war and ours in Iraq and Afghanistan. We had no uniformed military to fight. Anyone was an enemy, anything was an explosive device. 1LT Winters was a rare breed of officer and gentleman. Army fun fact: each year we have to do a 12 mile road March in full battle rattle and at least 60lbs in the ruck for time. Rucks were weighed before and after the March.

Some information about the composition of the 101st division as well as the 506th PIR as of June 1944: During Operation Overlord (June 1944): 101st Airborne Division: - Major General Maxwell D. Taylor [101st composed of 4 infantry regiments: 327th Glider Infantry Regiment, 501st Parachute Infantry Regiment, 502d Parachute Infantry Regiment, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment and 3 Artillery battalions, 1 Antiaircraft battalion and 1 Engineer battalion] 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment(PIR) - Colonel Robert Sink 1st Battalion (a,b,c companies): Lt. Col. William L. Turner (KIA 7 June 44), Lt Col. James L. LaPrade 2nd Battalion (d,e,f companies): Lt. Colonel Robert L. Strayer 3rd Battalion (g,h,i companies): Lt. Col. Robert Lee Wolverton (KIA 6 June 44), Maj. Oliver M. Horton ------ On June 6th: Lt. Colonel Strayer commanded the 2nd Battalion (which Easy company was part of). First Lieutenant Thomas Meehan was in command of Easy Company. 1st Platoon Leader: 1st Lt. Richard Winters Assistant: 2nd Lt. Harry Welsh 2nd Platoon Leader: 2nd Lt. Warren Roush Assistant: 2nd Lt. Buck Compton 3rd Platoon Leader: 2nd Lt. Robert Mathews Assistant: S/Sgt. C. Carwood Lipton (acting) When Lt. Meehan went missing, Lt. Richard Winters (the most senior officer in Easy Company) took command and Lt. Harry Welsh took over as 1st Platoon Leader. Eventually Lt. Buck Compton became 2nd Platoon Leader and Lt. Warren Roush became 3rd Platoon Leader. --------- The non-commissioned officers (NCOs): The 1st Sergeant: 1/Sgt. William Evans ( Was on same plane [stick 66] as Lt.

Out of the 139 men of Easy Company who had left England on the night of 5 June, Winters' roster shows that there were only five officers left (Winters; his three platoon leaders Harry Welsh, Buck Compton, and Warren Rousch; and Rousch's assistant Francis L.O’Brien), as well as 69 enlisted men.

Tom Hanks, to one of the actual men of Easy company: "If we get 10% of this right, it will be a miracle. We're shooting for 70% right". They went to freaking boot camp!!!! 1940 style, with atrocious hard boots they had to spend hours in a bathtub with! Just like the cast of Private Ryan did. Under the heel of catptain Dale Dye, retired USMC. He portrays Colonel Sink here.

Just to put into context so you know what was going on. This episode takes place at the same time as the beginning of Saving Private Ryan when the first invasion of (the beaches of) Normandy occurred (D-Day). The Airborne was dropped behind enemy lines earlier that morning to destroy enemies big guns that would be used to hit those landing on the beaches and ships that were nearby. And to protect Bridges that would be needed later. The fictional character of Ryan was supposedly part of the 101st airborne and scattered in the wrong drop zone just like in this episode. In researching SPR, Spielberg and Hanks discovered the story of Easy company and decided to make it into a series, they produced it together

The D-Day invasion was so high risk that General Eisenhower actually scribbled out a note in case the invasion failed. In the note he expressed that any responsibility for the failure was his alone and he also praised the men under his command for their bravery.

Two things of note here. Winter's capture of those Artillery pieces was so well done it's literally a textbook example as of... like 15 years ago at least. Spiers (iirc) had an.. interesting career. However even under the Geneva Convention paratroopers are not expected to be able to safely secure prisoners of war so they're in the clear smoking them. Bleak as it is. There's some more nuance to it, but context helps. Edit: Forgot the episode points out that became a textbook example. Oops

Asia & BJ Paratroopers and other military had standing orders not to gain POWs until areas are secured. That's why Spiers shot those POWs including the one from Oregon. When areas are secured, then POWs are taken in those areas.

Love the interviews with the actual soldiers. All of these men are remarkable but I really enjoyed "Shifty" Powers. Poor guy fought in every battle/mission easy company had but was lucky enough to never get wounded. And because of his luck...didn't have the "points" to go home early. I did 13 months straight in Afghanistan and by the 10th month I was going nuts and was ready for R&R. And my time in Afghanistan was nothing close to what these men endured. I couldn't image doing what they did for so long...and with so little. That generation really was built different.

If you have watched Saving Private Ryan, it was total chaos. On the beaches, this jump in the night. It was a wonder that it was a succes. Eisenhower (commander of operation D Day) even prepared a speach, in case it was a total failure. But, it was a succes and we Europeans can't thank you enough for that.

Yeah, the shot when they’re in the plane is them getting in the mode. Not only are you jumping out of a plane that’s getting shot at, when you drop you’re behind enemy lines. Your first taste of combat you’re surrounded. A lot of those guys will say they were more than happy to jump from those planes, sitting ducks up there.

Oooh man, y'all! Sending y'all hugs because I know this was an intense episode to watch. I've lost count how many times I've watched this and still hold my breath because watching the soldiers before they jump and all you can here is the motor of the plane. Like nobody is talking, their just silent. Then when it was ready to jump, a lot of the soldiers didn't even make it out of the plane; it's absolutely mind blowing! Great reaction y'all! Sending y'all love and positive vibes! Til' next time!
