Reaction to Band of Brothers: Bloody Gulch 

The tank shot during the bazooka scene doesn't kill the bazooka team it goes over there head and explodes the nearby trees holding the mortar team, they just made it appear in the scene like the two men with the bazooka got vaporized when in reality they were okay.

Bro, you are like the crazy Type A wife that makes lists of everything the husband did wrong 20 years ago! Her: Toilet seat left up, trash not taken out, floors unswept. Historylegends: Wrong unit insignia, overcast when it was actually lightly cloudy, beards and stubble when the entire unit was actually well-shaven! 1/10 historical accuracy!

I wanted to say that it looks like the countryside i live in, its not, because i would have been there watching them film if it was, but some very similar areas here in East Sussex.

@@shannonreed9808 that must be a great life living there

@@Nokdu. It was as a kid, but now I've had kids and they all teenagers, I'm pining for warmer places.. The cold has always been my nemesis 😂

englands geography is nearly identical to normandy

Pretty plausible.

I can remember wargaming the hedgerows and never understanding why they were basically treated as indestructible barriers. Then saw some close up photos and the light bulbs came on lol

@@glenchapman3899 freaking world of tanks

@@-YukiKosmo- No actually - The Close Combat series back in the day

Yeah I'm not sure how he missed that. You can hear Lt. Welsh say, "Get that OP in" when they take mortar fire. Later on the radio you can hear him say, "I'm pulling the OP in."

They call them forlonhopes or skimrish, that was tipicall in landscapes with poor visibility

@@nasmi1409 Verlorene haufe. A doctrine as old as medieval times.

Yes, also known as Listening Posts, far enough in front to be away from their own troops digging in or any other activity so they can observe and hear any enemy approaching, equivalent to OP or Pickets as mentioned.

You don’t know this

@@jesuschrist5691 and your dead, shut it.

@@loyalpiper and are you really a Scottish army piper ?

@@jesuschrist5691 tbh no one can "really" know, because we weren't there and not everything was preserved

@@BioDjango if I was a Scottish army I wouldn't be able to talk to you as a singular person because an army consists of thousands of people

Thank you 🙏 it means a lot

You don't need to be a Brigadier General to criticize historical accuracy

@@ey7290 No, but in many of the cases in this episode he's not analyzing the historical accuracy, he's questioning the military tactics. Some of which are still in use today.

Start your own youtube channel and do better than him then. You don't have to have a degree in history or WW2 to make videos on it. You can just be a historian as a hobby and share your thoughts like him. He also has never claimed to be an expert or a historian as an official job or educational background.

It actually happened but like you said, it wasn’t in an open field. I believe the Americans were able to hid behind trees or something. It’s been years since I’ve read the book.

Thank you appreciate it 🙏

@@historylegends Will you please react to call of duty ww2 especially the d day mission! I really enjoy whatching your RU-vid channel great work separating the truth from the false facts in band of brothers! God bless!

@@historylegends You know a Stug III is not a tank right

It's not a real stug is the reason why.

That makes a lot of sense. Thanks

He is a historian

It was the same battle

Yep but like you say it’s a show. Everything can’t be perfect

Welcome to the club 😄

You must be great at party's

They’re* Your grammar and spelling get a D for being inaccurate.

Don Malarky, was the oldest living member but passed away in 2016, Lt (retired Col.) Ed Shames died on the 3rd Dec 2021 age 99, last officer on E company,. Currently only one living E company member left which is Bradford Freeman age 97. To further add though, Pfc Freeman was assigned to Sgt Malarky's 4th squad, mortars, if he is who you are reffering too

@@gj1508 yes PFC Freeman was what is now known as a 11C "Indirect Fire Infantry"

Except plenty of the survivor's knowledge is inaccurate.

In the show, they stumble across Germans who are already along the top of the hill the night before. They are halted before being able to reach the hill.

​@@euphmaniac623But, In Real Life it was on flat land.

I actually did react to it ;)

The stug wasn’t real it was a real British tank disguised as a stug

Ofc the stug wasn’t real, didnt you see the road wheels lol.

yeah but in reality the 17th ss had stug IVs

@@seegurke93 Oh thank you good Sir

They had been training since 1942 and didn’t go into combat before 1944. They were considered elite in terms of training. They would prove in the battlefield they really were elite

What is inaccurate in what he says?

Good

Unfortunately giving the racial biases at the time, it’s true. One of the great examples is General Ned Almond, commander of the 92nd Infantry Division

Well you have the racist part right, but they US didn't inspire the Nazi ideology at all

​@@georgewashington132 The German policy of "living space" in Eastern Europe was directly inspired by the US extermination of american natives and the american "manifest destiny" policy. US settler colonialism was also the primary inspiration for other, earlier German settler colony projects like the German, West African genocide of tribal people. (The Herero and Nama Genocide.) The German Empire sent German intellectuals to the US with the explicit goal of learning from, and replicating that settler colonial example. The primary German settler colonial ideolog during that period was Freidrich Ratzel who had aquired his inspiration for colonial policy during his travels in the US and constantly referenced the US native policy when presenting his ideal west African colonialization process. "according to Ratzel the white settlement of North America was the best example for both why and how Germans should engage in policies of colonial expansion..." (From the frontier to German South-West Africa by Jens Uwe Guettlel page: 537) The Nazis where also havely inspired by Ratzel, Hausehofer, Turner and other similar 19th centuary German and American intellectuals who where themselfs inspired by the colonial example set by the United States. The very notion of "living space" came from Ratzel's work "Lebensraum: a Biogeogragraphical study" where he uses the US as his primary example for a successful settler colonial project where the natives have been all but eradicated and freed up living space and resources for the white settler colonial population. He built on the colonial notions both of contemporary American thinkers as well as historical ones. He did for example echo Jeffersons ideal of a native population giving way to a self sustaining, white, agrarian, (slave owning in Jeffersons case), yoemanry population. By the 1920s "Lebensraum" ideology was a widely accepted staple of German imperialist ideology. The nazis simply applied these colonial notions on Eastern Europe viewing Slavs and Jews in this region as an inferior native poplulation to be replaced, inslaved and exterminated. The Nazis used retoric lifted directly from the US colonial project to justify their expansion.

You are true to a point. Yet segregation didn't inspire Nazis, rather it was colonialism. Also I don't see how this comment pertains to the content, which is reviewing a historical battle portrayed though a show. Yes, it would be safe to say that the the Army was racist, and pro about it, but you also have to understand. That was the norm, to the point, it was law. Also I don't think the smiley face is appropriate for what you are saying, it's gives me a "... LOL" vibe.
