Meehan's plane did indeed crash and the exact spot is basically marked by burned shrubbery that never properly grew back.

Is that the weather? Yeah its steel rain

Yeah its all true, its based on a book written by one of the guys in the show. The character played by Ross had a really really really sad life... especially at the end... as bad as he treated his soldiers, it saved their lives in war... and the soldiers realized that during the war and they wanted to tell him how they appreciated that after the war in veterans meetings but Sobel never went to see them and died alone and very sad. The guy with the machine gun who drank water during the march... that guy carries a 84lbs machine gun with him, which requires a lot more effort than all the other soldiers... he deserves water haha

Here's a cool Easter egg, if you look closely, you can see Elon Musk in a nazi uniform.

In reference to the landings on omaha beach at the start. Yes, this really happened. But a 1000 times worse. Young lady, welcome to the Greatest Generation of our age. Grew up during the Great Depression. Lived through WW1. Then fought in the biggest war known to mankind in WW2. And stopped Hitler from Genocide. This. Is what your Grandfather and Great Grandfather's went through between the ages of 16 to 26. 2500 American Soldiers died on this beach for us. For those of us that get it. This is way your pronouns do not matter.

If you're a fan of such humor, I highly recommend checking out Rifftrax's Lord of the Rings series. Essentially, it's comedians providing hilarious commentary in the background while the movie plays. What's unique is that Lord of the Rings is one of the few movies where I genuinely enjoy both the original film and the Rifftrax version. The comedians' jokes add a whole new layer of entertainment. One thing that stands out is how my emotional response changes depending on whether I'm watching with or without the commentary. There are scenes where I'd normally get a little choked up, but with the comedians' jokes, I find myself laughing instead. Of course, humor is subjective, and not everyone will appreciate this type of comedy.

I have a problem with the American born German, Malarkey was taking to. " All true Aryan's " really? He was born in AMERICA. I do not have any compassion for someone who fought for Hitler's Nazi Germany. He's a traitor, it's an act of treason, and he deserves what he gets.

HELL YEAH! ANOTHER BAND OF BROTHERS REACTION (i have watched like 10 but I want more)

Great reacting. Looking forward to your next video.

Fun fact the scene where Malakrey meets the German soldier from Oregon actually happened. The only difference was that they had actually worked across the street from one another for years.

Considering the amount of confusion and misdrops, it is amazing that the paratroopers accomplished their mission. Due to their training and grit

noooooo

A tiny little review , one of the shortest on TH-cam 🤏

Is that an orchid cactus behind you?

All of the loud noises were fine, I doubt any subsequent hearing loss was service related.

It's probably been answered already but a Luger is a type of German pistol with a distinct profile. You'll see some as the series continues.

Great reaction. You're thinking about how many of the men going into D-Day and other operations had never even seen combat yet, but consider this: most of them aren't even completely through puberty yet. The majority of the fighting age men in the ranks are 17-25 years old. Even the company grade officers like Winters aren't over 30, most are around 22-25.

Camilla, you are very astute in noticing that many of these men suffered some hearing loss. One of my Dad's friends fought in Africa, Italy, and France. He suffered some hearing loss but his had more to do with differentiating various sounds. For example he could here "bee" and "see", but just couldn't tell the difference between the 2 words. This was true for many words in the English language. He was able to tell the difference by the way words are used in a sentence. So if you said, "I was stung by a bee,"he knew that the word was "bee" and not "see." I always found that strange but when I was 10 a lot of things were weird.

These episodes follow historical accuracy to the point that you will notice that some of the hand grenades have tape around them. Soldiers did this to prevent the pins from being pulled accidently by getting caught on clothing or brush. Now there were some liberties taken by directors in order to make the stories fit, but these liberties don't take away from actual events. The first men to jump into France were the Pathfinders. Their job was to guide the Paratroopers' transport planes to the proper drop zones. They suffered horrific casualties.

There are a lot of people that use this film to talk about current events. They use parallels with Covid and mainstream media. They conveniently overlook the story about Valarie's story with Sarah, Christina and Ruth. Which is the origin of the Scarlet Carson. Why this is important? Today, 1/24/25 President Trump signed an order to remove Pride flags from buildings. Think about it. Who was one of the first people the government in this story came after? Valarie, Sarah, Chirstina and especially Ruth. Shame on you for using this movie to further conspiracy theories while at the same time completely ignoring the fact about what happened to Valarie because of whom she loved. At the same time allowing the people around you to support the image of their oppressors. Say her name you f*ing cowards. Take a Scarlet Carson.

When The Green Mile was published, it was 6 novellas that were released over time. I waited patiently until they were all out before buying them. What a great story, and this adaptation was excellent.

Love your content, trip down memory lane lol

Well you gave an honest reaction then. Some may not like it, but I prefer honesty to bad acting, and I’ve seen a lot of that from some reactors. Most who clicked on this post did so because they love the movie. But not everyone has the same tastes. Authors are advised by their agents and publishers not to change genres as it’s better to brand than build a new audience. And some personalities prefer non-fiction only as fiction feels like a waste of their time when they could be studying something to help with their careers. So, disregard the negative comments that seem cruel and tactless. It’s a poor attempt at manipulation at best, or a sad reflection of immaturity at worst. Do your own thing and stay honest.

My dad commanded an LCT on Utah Beach. He may have been a recipient of some of the fire from the guns Winters and Co. took out.

Interestingly enough meehans dogtags were found in the late 1980s stuck in a tree by a local french farmer, presumably having landed in that tree decades earlier when his plane exploded

You said you had trouble with the names. That will come to you and you will also start talking as if you are part of Easy Co. To a lot of us vets that is very cool to see. Outstanding work and God bless you.

this reaction video was super short would have liked to see more of a 30 min plus video because you didn't let us see certain moments reactions.

I enjoy her appreciating the show, the edits however, leave something to be desired.

when I was a kid, living in France, my dad got me a Lugar; very cute gun.

Yeah, this is an outstanding show, this is mainly taken from the book by Stephen Ambrose - Band of Brothers. The majority of the interviews you see during the episodes were done by a lady that I've seen in videos of the 20th Anniversary of the show, which was held at the WWII museum in New Orleans. She had some funny stories to tell about the men. She's pretty good looking so, I think a few of them might have had a little crush on her at the time. All of the men you will see in the interview clips were from Easy Company, some are represented in the show, some are not, but they were all there in real life. Dale Dye, who plays Colonel Sink, was actually in the military. He also ran the actors boot camp to get the actors ready to play the roles they were selected for. The guy that plays Nixon did a video diary of the actors boot camp which you should watch when you finish this. It's pretty damn funny. Also, in real life, Sobel was not well liked by the men, although later, many would admit that his hard training served them well in actual combat. There will be some artistic liberties taken by the show runners in this mini-series. Obviously, time has to be compressed, sometimes they will have a man do something on screen that was done by someone else in real life, mainly because it wouldn't serve the show well to try and have 200 main actors. So, they had to consolidate actions in various places. Also, they do make some mistakes in places. Keep in mind the production of this was done before widespread internet access, it wasn't easy to confirm details of actions. The stories came from the men, as they remembered them, and sometimes, they just made mistakes. But all in all I think they had a deep desire to make the show as accurate as possible.

"Drop your weapon, Pop." It is protocol to disarm the wounded so they don't kill themselves. The USA has a policy about that.

"Follow me" The infamous motto of infantry. I was cavalry. If someone says "follow me", that means i'm to far behind. A scout is supposed to let them know what they're walking in to.

I have to say, if others have not already passed comment, that David Schwimmer did an incredible job as an actor to take about two minutes to make us realise this is *not* Ross from Friends we are seeing. So hard to shake a famous character like that. EDIT: Based on this one, consider yourself subscribed young lady :)

The Luger PO8, manufactured by Deutsche Waffen- und Munitionsfabriken (DWM), was the standard German sidearm of WW2.

Ovaltine? That stuff will MAKE you go to the bathroom.

The enemy had nine armored divisions in Normandy for defense, and another partially-armored one. There were approximately 50,000 German troops defending the area.

A call had gone out for pictures of landmarks too small to be noted by aerial reconnaissance. Thousands of photos of the Normandy countryside had poured in from patriotic French partisans.

The Death of the Ball Turret Gunner--Randall Jarrell

The beginning is the aerial equivalent of the beach assault sequence at the beginning of Saving Private Ryan.

Why We Fight

This is a fight between a slave world and a free world.--Vice President Henry A. Wallace, May 8, 1942

As messed up as it is, I like when movies and tv shows don’t glamorize war, but show it as closely violent and gruesome as they can.

The Longest Day

Good reaction. Way too much editing makes it hard to really follow it is very choppy. Hence so short of a video. I really think it would be way more quality and better if you would not leave out so much of the show

Yep...Ep2 jumps right in with both feet (no pun intended). You are correct to assume the pace/tension begins to ratchet up from here. Thanks for a most respectful reaction. Until next time.

Try to appreciate the bits of humor they throw in. It helps.

31:10 -- RE: "He's like an Energy Sensor, and a Healer..."; A: Both true, we could put other, older words on it. He's empathic by his nature, he's also almost completely innocent of what most of us would call normal human sins. In religious terms, we could say that he's still in a state of grace because he doesn't have original sin. Cosmically speaking, John's innocence keeps him perpetually aware of other dimensions to what we call reality, and that's why we perceive supernatural things about him. But it's all very normal to John.

My favorite part was the end, when Winters prays and makes his promise to God about living the rest of his life in peace.

19:13 -- RE: "Could John Coffey heal Billy the Kid?"; A: If all other things were equal, *maybe,* but the narrative makes it pretty clear that Coffey senses there's more wrong about Billy than could ever be made right by his touch, and when they do make physical contact, it can only serve to poison and fracture an otherwise beautiful John. John does, however, manage to make things righter by using a convenient middle man.

16:00 -- RE: "What just happened?"; A: Welcome to the wonderful world of Stephen King's supernatural cosmology. Not to spoil anything from other stories and films, "The Green Mile" and particularly the character of John Coffey is the story which bridges the gap between "The Shawshank Redemption" and stories like "The Shining" or "The Gunslinger". Coffey represents in human form a cosmic force for goodness and healing because, to some extent, there are universal forces for evil all around ruining what cosmic Nature otherwise intends. People like Percy or Billy the Kid are called "Low Men" because they directly or indirectly serve these evil forces.
