The Life And Sad Ending Captain Herbert Sobel Of "Band of Brothers" 

You hit the nail on the head Sink was busy running a war but the contrast of Sobel and Winters became the war.

Again I say look at Dick Winters for the example of a leader. Extremely intelligent. Could turn tactics on a dime. Quick on his feet. All of this and All of his men were held close to his heart.

Sobel made his own bed. He knew exactly what he was doing.

They would face death before following Soble in to combat .Many lieutenants bought the farm in Nam for acting like Soble. "FRIENDLY FIRE".

What is your great contribution

And you contribute what exactly?

@@TheresaHarris-s2w we don't have to contribute because we're the audience

@@TheresaHarris-s2w if you can`t hear the repetition and obvious errors ( hi yellow silver), that`s on ou. We need REAL human narration, ffs!

Sobel... vindictive.

There was a feud between those two at a personal level. To put it to bed, that's what Sobel most likely did.

It was a large failing in Colonel Sink that could have been explored. A bit late now but isn't that always true of swamps.

And even more of an insult to those who bravely and tragically made the ultimate sacrifice during WWII, who still lie buried in Europe - those ultimate heroes who never made it back home!!!

The video called him CPT Herbert Sobel about 80,000 times like we forgot who the video is about.

I came here to say that, Jesus, how many different ways can you say the same thing?

Agreed.

I made it halfway through it. The continuous "pro's" just turned me off.

You finally get to use the one big word of the day in a sentence… lol

Legend in his own mind? He was training them for war! His training is what literally made Easy company. Band of Brothers is a narrative of the reality, you don't get to see everyone's story. He got the information from REAL LIFE not just a TV show based on a book compiled from interviews. The man never struck his children, was a good husband, and an important member of his community. Yes it dissolved for him, but to blatantly disregard the man solely for his performance as a CO is completely disingenuous to the human being he was. Sobel's son Michael attended Easy company reunions and was warmly received as easy company(mainly Bill Guarnere) had tried to reach out to him but Sobel declined (probably because he expected to be reviled as you have done). Michael Sobel received countless hugs and words appreciation from the remaining Easy company members and their families. They told Michael that it was because of his father that they survived the war. They may have hated him in the time but appreciated his contibution to Easy company. Michael Sobel broke down wishing his father could have heard and experienced this ACCEPTANCE and FORGIVENESS of him. Easy company forgave him and thanked him, that should be how everyone see's Sobel. Not as some scorned villain. Life isn't a film.

@@Gravelgratious what you say could be true but that is AFTER the war was over , during the war , which is crucial, they were thankful he wasn’t involved with them , he didn’t inspire confidence from the men , like Dyke whereas Ronald Spiers did give them everything that Sobel and Dyke didn’t . He also didn’t appear to respect the actions of the men that had actually fought and remained petty until the end of the war , maybe he regretted the way he acted in the build up and that’s why he declined the reunion invitation. If the men forgave him, that says more about them than Sobel. It seems fairly certain that had he actually gone into Normandy , not many, if any , would have survived.

Salute the man not the rank

Soble not soel

Who is that German?

Winters did the work. Far more intelligent. Winters troops attest to that.

Interesting your notes are all about the Nazis.

What do you mean by that? I was commenting about a German Air Ace appearing in this thread, who has nothing too do with this post.

Exactly what he did.

It's painfully obvious that whoever put this piece of gibberish together had no grasp of the issues or times in which they occurred. The use of disconnected, clumsily retouched photos with no bearing upon the narration became amusing. Riding the coattails of a fabulous series was the only reason I watched this garbage for more than 5 minutes.

He was bad, angry and a massive cunt who should have been sent to prison for the bs he pulled.

HWYDT?

I presume he finally saw what he wasn't doing at the end. Ro musingdie cat?

That's just not true. By watching this, you will get a perfect example of how not to produce a video. What's more, you'll learn to recognize how someone can misrepresent and fabricate history to the point of almost total absurdity. I congratulate the creators of this video. It is probably the greatest distortion of historical reality I have ever run across: People like Goebbels, Stalin and Khomeni were masters of disinformation, but as of today, a new contender for "most untruthful" has emerged! Never before have I seen such a complete distortion of and disregard for the truth. In that extent, it is impressive, to say the least. No telling the heights it may take the author to: Perhaps a job offer from the North Korean Ministry of Information awaits!

@@brew812ou1 I see what you did there! I agree completely. It never ceases to amaze me why people, in general on RU-vid, leave comments that are total garbage. Clearly they have no knowledge on the subject so why post? The danger is that, over time, history can be changed.

I thought it was great
