This reaction is a little shorter than the other parts, but they were super strict about this episode before I could get it out. As long as it gets out I'm happy 💕
Fingers crossed......just in case🤞🤞
Thanks for the explanation. It was noticable. #FYT
I wonder why that are being so strict on your reactions because it doesn’t seem that they are being strict to other people reacting to BoB.
I dont understand how they are only restricing you with this episodes the other people dont have trouble with the Band of brothers reactions.
Don't let them win young lady, you deserve it and you are very honest.
And for that i give you huge digital hug.
Don't be shy. We're all Winter's simps.
Also, I'm glad I'm not the only one choking up while the veteran was talking about unforgettable moments in the Ardennes forests.
It gets me every time when the soldiers talk. And as soon as there's a wobble in their voice.. I'm done 😢
The thing is, the real Skip Muck really did swim across the Niagara River. That's an anecdote that the actor learned from the family and the veterans which he chose to add to the dialogue himself.
Muck and Penkala…that really hit me hard.
@@davidwoolbright3675 Truth. I connected with the story of Muck the most, especially after reading Don Malarkey's memoir - which talks about Muck a whole lot.
@@ReeseMacalma ANd I do research on Penkala, and so when they die... ouch
Ronald "Sparky" Spiers was a HELL of a soldier, and, a real combat leader. He went on to lead quite a career in the Army. Even seeing combat as an "advisor" during the Laotian Civil War in 1962. He was awarded a Silver Star, the Legion of Merit, 3 Bronze Stars, an Army Commendation Medal, and, 4 Purple Hearts.
Remember what Spiers told Blythe in episode 3, that "you have to accept the fact that you are already dead and then you can be a good soldier"
And according to Major Winters, Spiers admitted he executed those German soldiers and he shot the drunk non-com, going so far as to sign a letter of admission and forgoing any legal recourse against the Simon and Schuster publishing company should the stories be recounted.
So, add war crimes to that list of accomplishments.
Pickles - Before landing in Normandy, invading soldiers were instructed not to take German prisoners. No means to take care of them. Ergo , no war crimes for Spiers. All’s fair in Love and War.
@@sirf4ce every American president since www is a war criminal as are most of the British PMs and all of Israel's leadership
Why does everyone write Spiers? It's Speirs.
The Skip Muck and Alex Penkala scene may have been the biggest shocker of the episode especially when just earlier Muck was telling the replacement Webb how he had never been hit yet through the war.
Facts man
It hits differently when a Veteran got emotional recalling their experience than actors because it was real and more painful.
The story about Spiers killing the prisoners is true. It was confirmed in an interview with Dick Winters. The guy doing the interview asked Dick about this, and Dick told him about it. He said that Steven Ambrose called him one day and told him they had a problem. Lawyers from Simon and Shuster called him and were worried about potential lawsuits from some of the stories that were in the book. The Spiers story was one of them, the portrayal of Nix drinking too much was another.
Dick told him not to worry about it, he would handle it. He said he wasn't worried about Nix, he knew that wouldn't be an issue, but the Spiers story was something else. Dick said he called Spiers and said 'hey Sparky, you know those rumors that were floating around, about D-Day, were they true? He said Spiers said 'oh yeah Dick, they're true'. He told Speirs about the phone call from Ambrose and the Lawyers concerns and Spiers said don't worry about it. He would write them and letter and tell them what happened. Apparently he did just that, and Dick said it was never an issue after that, because it was true, and it's all in that file folder right over there(he said pointing across the room).
The interview with Winters is out there on youtube, which is where I got this info from. I may have paraphrased a little.
So in effect our own guys pulled a Malmedy. And Hollywood venerates the triggerman.
@@kyleshockley1573 ... That's one perspective sure. Being that they didn't have the people to spare or facilities to house POWs, I understand what was done.
@@kyleshockley1573 to a certain extent. However there are differences. Malmedy, they had the opportunity to take those soldiers back behind the lines and throw them into camps, they did not. Normandy they had absolutely no camps, no front lines, no ability to just shuttle prisoners away so they wouldn't be a danger. I wouldn't be surprised if there were non official orders telling them not to keep prisoners because it wasn't feasible. Both were black eyes on both armies. US had anther incident in Sicily if I recall as well
@@fenner1986 That is a point. Though with Malmedy, even today it's not entirely clear what happened to start the shooting, whether the Americans made a break for it, if it was an order given by Peiper to execute the prisoners, etc. And that's with survivors' testimony. Mark Felton has a good video on this describing both it and another Spears-like situation at Chenogne.
It's worth noting that Malmedy was well after D-Day and Spears. Either way it's apparent that this sort of thing was always going to become a tit-for-tat situation between the two sides with the actual guys doing the fighting and dying, regardless of how it started. Especially given the character of the SS Divisions and what they were known for even then.
I'd thought about adding "in the heat of battle" in the first comment since things like this are a given whenever the State asks a person to kill. And who will hold accountable the statesmen that put those men in that situation in the first place, or who gave the orders to get rid of excess baggage? Maybe that's outside the scope of a Hollywood team of writers or directors, but I think it's f*cked how they will present and almost lionize or make sympathetic the triggerman to a mass execution. Simply because he's one of the good guys. If the POWs shot down were SMERSH counterintel officers, or IJA soldiers - who in the end had more blood and depravity on their hands than most anybody else of WWII - what would the cinematic treatment of that had been? Or if the executioner were anybody other than an American or a main character.
Decades later and we have even former Soviet soldiers (few, it's true) who speak with remorse or shame of the things they witnessed the Red Army doing, what they didn't prevent, or what they themselves did. That's their Golgotha. I don't think Hollywood or Winters do history or posterity any favors by playing off manslaughter or even premeditated murder as "Oh well, wasn't me!"
I wonder why this keeps coming up so much tho. According to the findings of German historian Peter Lieb, many Canadian and American units were given orders on D-Day to take no prisoners as it would hinder or even jeopardize their mission objectives which were crucial to the success of D-Day. This is especially true for Airborne units, they simply had no option to take prisoners, there were no POW camps, or even frontlines at that point as they were operating deep behind enemy lines.
I believe Speirs was just following those orders to the letter.
One thing the episode doesn't show is that Speirs didn't just run down a street and hop a low wall, he ran through the *whole village* to reach I Company and *ran back* without being hit.
Probably my favorite episode of the entire series. I had a chance to visit the Bois Jacques outside of Foy where all of this took place. Pretty moving.
"Those events would come back and ... You'd never forget them." 😔
“People say that episode 7 is the hardest episode”…
Episode 9 - “hold my beer”.
Exactly
Oh yeah, that's a tough one. They all are in one way or another. Just some bite more than others.
I am assuming these people she talks about are trying to fake her out for 9.
Just commented about that. Why We Fight is horribly difficult to watch, and for a different reason.
Yeah, 9 breaks me. Every time.
My first visit to the National WW2 Museum in New Orleans was when shortly after Stephen Ambrose died in 2003. They had a memorial to him in the lobby.
Among the exhibits were full-sized mock-ups of the battlegrounds including this one. I went through each one, slowly, in my Service Uniform that I wore to a previous appointment, imagining what it was like.
Many people who were aware of the situation have pointed out that Norman Dike was a fine soldier who was essentially thrust into a position of command that he was absolutely not prepared for - and his reaction is an entirely human one. But during the Battle of Foy, his falling apart was not from cowardice of incompetence, but because of the fact that he was wounded. He had been shot in the chest very early in the attack. His confused collapse and incoherent breakdown during the battle was caused by blood loss and shock.The heavy cold-weather gear he had been wearing hid the fact that he had two bleeding chest wounds from his fellow soldiers. The real situation wasn't found out until Dike had been evacuated to the nearest aide station after the invasion of Foy was over. Since the men of Easy Company never saw Dike again, they merely assumed Dike was just being Dike again.
Dike also had two Bronze Stars, both for Valor. One from Holland and the second with Easy Company in Bastogne. Easy KNEW he was no coward.
He even dragged in three wounded men by himself into cover before he was hit at Foy. Veterans of Easy, including Winters, would describe him as a bit of a snob, but you are right. This series did that man no justice. He deserves a better and more honest portrayal.
I think he was reassigned to regimental HQ after his recovery.
I'm surprised the show didn't portray that, it would have made the audience feel more for him. BoB was supposed to be an accurate retelling of events as well, why did it change these details?
@@MikMoen it was due to human error. The series did take some artistic license for the sake of storytelling and presented some glaring historical inaccuracies as a result of misinformation. Case in point Pvt. Albert Blithe. There are plenty of entertaining and informative TH-cam channels worth watching that focus on this subject.
Thanks for leaving malarkey’s comments in the intro… the last guy is the actual Don Malarkey
Hoobler had wanted a Luger since I believe episode 1 but i believe it was for souvenir purposes. Malarkey wanted it for his brother. In a reunion of the actors and Veterans at the actual forest where this battle took place it was revealed that it was a Belgian Pistol and not a Luger Hoobler accidentally shot himself with and that it did not have a safety which probably made the accident occur.
Your Band of Brothers journey has been a lot of fun to share with you. This is one of my favorite series and I regret that the journey is almost over.
It isn’t over yet. Centane plans on reacting to ‘The Pacific’.
@@HollywoodMarine0351 though The Pacific is good, it doesn’t appeal to me as much as Band of Brothers.
I LOVE Spiers! A great leader. Different from Winters, but still a leader. And let's be honest- it was funny when he offered them a smoke- he knew exactly what was being said about him. This was a rough episode. "Why We Fight" will be one of the hardest things you will ever watch.
Yeah,”Why we fight” hits different,they didn’t sugar coated.
According to Winters's autobiography that story was 100% real, it was an open secret that Spiers had a habit of shooting captive Germans. I guess HBO figured it better to leave that ambiguous though, less offensive to show our side committing war crimes. Excellent combat leader though.
Everybody wants a Speirs to fight on their side when shit hits the fan.
Spiers did shoot those POW's.

Very nice review. I am enjoying watching you discover this amazing series. I know a lot of people have already mentioned the differences in Dike from reality to the series so I will not go into them in detail. I think they were just trying to use that character to demonstrate that not all the officers were good. Just makes you appreciate even more how good Winters and Compton were.
Interesting note on Compton, in the book that the series is based on it does not talk about him breaking down mentally. There is only a very brief mention of him being taken off the line for Trench Foot. Stephen Ambrose the author originally had it in the book but when he gave some advance copies to living members of Easy Company at the time. Everyone of them told him to take it out that he was not going to embarrass Compton like that, and if it was not removed they would stop cooperating and make him remove anything they had given him. Such respect and loyalty over 50 years later shows just how close these men were.
Recently the screenwriter for this episode talked about it in an interview. He only knew what was in the book, so he wrote and outline of the episode and showed it Compton. It was Compton himself who said "I never had Trench Foot, I cracked". The writer asked him if it was okay to use in the episode and Compton told him yes because it was the truth and he wanted the real story told. AMAZING Man!
a tough episode indeed, and one of my favorites. BUT....9, 9 is the toughest. fun fact, the foxholes they used during the first half of this episode still exist, and you can visit them
Only the most soulless can get through 9 without feeling anything. If its the first time watching or 100th, you FEEL it hard.
@@davidmacy411 Soulless... or those that deny it happened
I served with a guy who grew up down the street from Bill Guarnere, he said he was a real cool old dude and everybody loved and respected him
Colonel Edward Shames, last living member of Easy Company passed away December 3rd 2021. God Bless you colonel and Godspeed!
Not quite. Pfc. Bradford Freeman is currently the last surviving member at 97 years of age. Edward Shames was the last surviving “officer”.
@@HollywoodMarine0351 Thanks. I stand corrected.
Its been great watching your reactions through this. It is important younger generation know about not only this story but the 1000's others. This episode was tough, but not the toughest.
The German Luger pistol was notorious for accidental discharges. There was a reason the germans used a fully covered holster for it.
I remember either reading or seeing a documentary that explained how Hoobler was actually shot by his own weapon as it got caught in a piece of barbed wire and accidentally pulled the trigger
It was basically that. The weapon wasn’t a Luger, it was a model that doesn’t have a safety on it with caused it to fire.
@@johnmichaelchance1151 He was also constantly fiddling with it.
ND’s are why we always get weapons safety briefs.
I think the term ‘Lugar’ was the GI term for any German pistol.
Camilla is now a confirmed Winters and Spiers SIMP.... "Damn he fine" cracked me up :P
HAHAHA i meaaaaaaan its an honest review :p
@@Centane Aye. Yai. Yai. 🤦🏻♂️😂
My favorite episode. Hits hard on most fronts. Has some humor, and action, and some strong emotional moments. The talk between Spiers and Lipton at the end is a nice touch.
I truly enjoy your reactions and the genuine nature in which you see things, you are more engaging than most and the moments are felt more impactfully seeing someone else react the same way. I hope you continue to grow and share a similar experience with many more to come. All the best!
"Why We Fight" is gut-wrenching. It is very much worth watching.
‘Why We Fight’ is also the name of a series of films directed by Frank Capra commissioned by the US Government that were shown to Soldiers/Sailors/Airmen/Marines as part of their training. The films are available on TH-cam.
The movie selections aside, we like spending time with you because you're sweet and genuine. Thank you for all the efforts you put into this channel!
Think it was back during the 50th Anniversary of the battle of bulge reenacment in PA i was in E/506th living history and we had a bunch of the org Troopers with us. had a real good Prop Blast Bash too. at some point as we were drinking & Singing 1 of our guys comes up to "Wild Bill" and says hey Bill i am going over to visit the area of the line you were in , is their anything you want me to bring back for you" Bill lowers his beer looks him straight in his eyes and says "Yeah, if you could find my leg that would be great" then he smiled and lifted his beer, we all laughed and cheered and toasted to Bill's leg. those were some great times
Episode 9 Why We Fight was the hardest episode for me
You've passed 20,000 subscribers now. I always look forward to your reactions. Thank you.
A Luger does not have a modern "positive Safety" that actually blocks the firing pin, It has a small piece of metal that moves in a way to halt the trigger connection. He made the mistake of chambering a round and putting it in his waistband. The tight pants squeezed the Luger in an odd way and set it off. Something of a design flaw in the 1908 Luger design. The Germans already had switched to the P38 pistol. Which was why a "Luger" from WWI was a hard to find souvenir in WWII. . . Older officers did not want to switch pistols.
Band of Brothers did Lt. Dike really dirty for no reason.
He was awarded a Bronze Star in September 1944 for leading a scattered group of parachutists to defend a critical road junction for repeated and superior enemy attacks while surrounded. He was awarded a second bronze star in January 1945 for personally, in full view of the enemy, under constant fire, three wounded members of his company. During the attack on Foy (according to Easy Company man Clancy Lyall) Lt.Dike was wounded in the shoulder and unable to continue. He was taken to the rear and to a field hospital. When he recovered he was transferred to headquarters, promoted to Captain, eventually becoming aid to General Taylor. After the war he would marry, have children, earn his law degree from Yale, have several successful business ventures, serve in the Korean War, retire to Switzerland and die there in 1989.
The man was a hero and deserves to be remembered as such.
Norman Dike actually got shot in the shoulder during the attack and that is why he was confused during the fight
My grandparents grew up in Whitewater, Wisconsin with Stephen Ambrose (writer of the series) and were good friends with him. When my father was born in 1956, he was delivered by Dr. Stephen Ambrose (the writer of the series' father) and they named my father after him. So basically, I got my name from the writer of this series.
They did Dike dirty in this episode he wasn’t nearly as incompetent or cowardly as they portrayed him to be. He earned a medal earlier in the war for his part in rallying men for a strategically important defense during the miss-drops. During the attack on Foy he was shot and wounded and lost a lot of blood which made him woozy and incoherent however with all the layers of clothing it easily wasn’t visible. He stayed in the military and fought in Korea. He may not have been the most inspiring leader but he wasn’t a bad one.
yeah they showed him like this for hollywood and most of the troopers didn't like him that much, but he was a good Trooper
He won 2 bronze stars
Much like the Blithe story I feel that Ambrose relayed too much on the recollections of the soldiers and did not do enough research himself, which as a historian he should have done. The way they portrayed the same situation for 2 soldiers is telling. Both Dike and Compton, in the show, suffered from shock but one was heroic and the other shown as a coward.
But in a way that makes the show good as well, because it shows human nature and how people remember things. they remember their friend with compassion and the outsider with contempt.
I still get teary eyed watching Hoobler’s death. 😢 shit is so sad
They were right. This one is a handful. Bastogne is something that's hard to wrap your head around, no matter how many reports, movies or tv shows you've found that try to explain it. Unless you were there, I don't think you can ever really know. Those men carried that weight for the rest of their lives and helped one another to do so.
I was raised in a military family and I've always been able to recognize a good officer. Like many others, I would follow Winters if he said we were raiding the gates of hell, and I can't imagine a military man that would feel any different. I have a similar opinion of Spiers. That man was one heck of a soldier and an extremely good battle field commander. Very interesting military career.
I think it would be fair to mention that Norman Dike was not a coward. While Band of brothers is one of the most historically accurate show about WW2, there are certain points that didn't happened or were different in real life. This is one of them.
Firsthand accounts show that Dike was not a well-liked officer during his command of Easy Company, but he was by no means the cowardly and ineffective officer that was portrayed on screen. During the attack on Foy, Easy Company trooper Clancy Lyall saw Dike get shot in his right shoulder. Omitted from the on-screen depiction, this wound inhibited Dike’s decision-making and caused him to panic. Furthermore, Dike won two Bronze Star Medals for valor earlier in the war; one in Holland for organizing a hasty defense against, “superior and repeated attacks”, and another at Bastogne where, “…he personally removed from an exposed position, in full enemy view, three wounded members of his company, while under intense small arms fire."
Keep the good videos coming :)
" I've just turned into a winters simp" 😂😂😂😂
4:05 Nixon attended Yale, but left to join the army before he could graduate.
Speirs did shoot one of his own men. The latter was a sergeant, was drunk and belligerent and not obeying orders, and when the sergeant aimed his weapon at Speirs, Speirs shot him. It was ruled righteous self-defense.
7:00 I was always surprised that Toye and Guarniere didn't bleed out, given that their blood vessels had literally been cut in half.
Good going on the reactions!
Episode 9 will hit you pretty hard.
Actions to this TV show are worth the wait in gold I look forward to him every time because it's such a phenomenal show it shows you everything what most people don't understand until they watch this show
FUN FACT: The actor who plays Malarky is Scott Grimes. He is an INCREDIBLE singer and is the voice of Steve Smith on animated show American Dad.
He's also one of the stars of The Orville.
Over the years this has probably become my favorite episode. Donnie Wahlberg is so good as Lipton and we get some pretty major losses early on. But then they take Foy on the back of Speirs' legendary run across the field and the three-parter ends on a better note
Yep. We'll see more about Spiers.
I think the next one is the one with a really tricky situation involving him. No more spoilers than that.
This is the second toughest episode for me number 9 is the hardest hitting and you’ll get there no matter how much preparation you have for that episode it’s brutal as it should be that episode is poetic
Of course we are here to spend time with you and always enjoy that time. Looking forward to what 2022 brings to your channel.
I don't know if it's obvious, but you should keep in mind that any officer who fails, is failing at a very high level. These are elite soldiers. Lt. Dyke actually won a Bronze Star during the retreat in episode 4. And another in Bastone.
The toughest episode is coming up. Episode 9 is a tear jerker. Episode 7 was hard as well. FYI, the run Speirs made was much farther in real life. After you finish the series, make sure to watch "We Stand Alone, Together" the Band of Brothers documentary that features more interviews with the real soldiers of Easy Company.
Of all things in this show - they did clean Speirs up a bit - and make him more palatable for home viewing audiences. In reality, there was little ambiguity behind his actions, and he's pretty open about having executed POWs, including unconcerned with it appearing in Ambrose's book, after Winters had checked on the authors behalf.
Speirs wasn't THAT bad, any good officer would have done what he did. the paratroopers had orders to not take prisoners when they dropped into Normandy. Speirs was no nonsense and got the job done no matter how horrible it was.
G’Day Centane,
Love your reaction videos once you finish band of brothers you’ve gotta watch “The Pacific” that’s by Stephen Spielberg and Tom Hanks as well, I think you will enjoy that too.
Just to let you know I live in Australia from England with Norwegian heritage, my son is a hospital theatre technician and his gf is a nurse for one of the big hospitals in Melbourne. You take care and stay safe in these worrying times
I love your reactions to Band of Brothers! You get a lot more of the humor than other reactions I've seen. Keep it up!
I have viewed a couple of your reactions. Usually, young women have difficulty with the violence, gore, and reality of War. You, on the other hand, understand that reality. You seem to accept that you can't apply today's social constructs to the world as it was. You appreciate the comradeship of these men and respect them. Thanks. To run toward the bullets takes a mind-set I have never experienced. But my Father did. He was there. In the Ardennes Forest. He was part of an anti-tank gun crew. They died. He didn't. See you again.
Episode 7 the probably the second hardest episode to watch. I believe that the name of Episode 9- "Why We Fight" is the hardest episode to watch. Even thought I have seen this series once a year at least for the past 10 years it still makes me cry. Watch with care it is not for everyone I promise you.
I'd recommend Thin red line, the film came out around the same time as saving private ryan. Nobody has reacted to it!!
6:19 Seeing a young 𝙈𝙞𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙚𝙡 𝙁𝙖𝙨𝙨𝙗𝙚𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙧 as Christenson in only his second role is crazy!
A young 𝙏𝙤𝙢 𝙃𝙖𝙧𝙙𝙮 is in "Why We Fight". Spears walks in on him while he's having sex, he jumps up, and he salutes Spears...ass naked! LoL
Episode 9 is the toughest episode not just of Band of Brothers but of pretty much any TV show ever made.
Winters called Spears because the publishers of the book were worried he would sue over the rumors about him being included in the book. Spears responded that it was all true and told Winters he would write him a letter saying it was all true and sign his name to it. Everyone was afraid of German soldiers at this point in history. We needed soldiers the Germans were afraid of.
Congratulations on reaching 20K subscribers! Your reaction to ‘Saving Pvt. Ryan’ and keen resemblance to a younger version of my cousin brought me here. Keep up the great work Kamilla! 🎉🍻🎊
Winters later confirmed that spiers told him the story was true.
The why we fight episode is hard one also.
My high school chemistry teacher also got shot in the arse in WW2 -?I think in Holland. I think he was regular army and got sent home early because of it (he didn’t really talk about it).
Breaking Point is tough but I don’t think it’s the toughest. Ep. 9 or “Why We Fight” is the hardest. Was definitely the hardest for me at least.
Winters simp me too , i read his book afterwards Damian Lewis ( played him ) sadly his wife passed away last year ( cancer) she played malfoys mother in harry potter and aunt polly in peaky blinders. ( amazing show ) helen McCrory. ( rest in peace)
They really did Lt Dike dirty with the series. It's probably because the series was mainly based on Winters' memoires and he didn't particularly like the man. But in reality he was apparently a capable and brave soldier and officer.
Btw: prepare yourself for being absolutely broken by episode 9. That's going to be a brutal one.
2nd toughest episode... 2nd toughest. Episode 9 is both the toughest in my opinion, and my favorite. Be sure to have the tissues handy when you get there.
Great reaction again and it's always a pleasure to watch your sincere reactions. Your reactions are from what I see so far unbiased point in fact when the German was shot from his horse you were shocked. That is a great trait for someone in your chosen studies and I would like to wager that you will either be a great nurse or a great doctor. I hope you had a great Christmas and a great start to 2022 have a great week.
Got to like that 1st Sgt Lipton. You can tell that he has the…Right Stuff. He’s a leader that takes things…Step-by-Step. He’s not just some…New Kid on the Block…
"This is the toughest episode" ohhh,,, my sweet summer child.
"One of those arrogant rich jerks from Yale" is funny because Nixon is a rich kid from Yale.
Good also as you see what a company first sergeant does. The senior enlisted person in a company.
thanks for your effort, time and work, we all appreciate it
This was only a Hollywood movie. We will never know nor truly understand what these men went through. They gave everything and came home and built the greatest civilization the world has ever known. They never called themselves victims. They never asked any one for anything. They fought for the freedoms that we not only take for grated but recklessly throw away today as we cower in fear of COVID 19 and other less than lethal threats to our nation. They were real American Heroes. We should thank God every day that men such as these lived and died for us.
Lugers are are notorious for going off like that.
Apparently, in that attack, Dike was severely wounded, and was going into medical shock. But with all his winter gear, no one noticed until they got him back from the line. I don't mind this portrayal, because it's how Easy Company perceived it at the time, but I think it's an interesting fact
He also won 2 Bronze stars.
Episode 9 is by far the toughest episode. Prepare yourself.
What a great episode this is my favourite of the whole series brilliant reactions , well done
Episode 9 - Why we fight is defs the toughest watch.
This is definitely not rhe toughest episode out there . I wonder if those people got the number wrong because there is clearly one tougher then the others .
A while back I said 6 and 7 were among the hardest. Walking with Eugene and seeing the toll is rough. This one even more because you feel helpless as they had to have. The scene in the church, with the familiar faces fading away. Knowing they aren't coming back. It hits home just how terrible war is.
Yes, 9 is also hard.
The Dike character is blown waaaaay out of proportion here. He was not THAT incompetent and carried a lot of wounded. He went on to earn a few accommodation medals in Korea. Spiers all day everyday all the time baby..."all war depends upon it". Yah, all the girls love Winters. "Good to see you pal" Good to see you too". Been there done that. Atta boy Shifty. and Lip. Spiers Spiers Spiers Spiers Speirs.
We have to thank you as well. You put in a lot of work in to get us entertained. You've had aimed for 200 subs? Okay, you just missed it by 100ish times XD! You've earned that. You're happy -we're happy :o)!
I was so surprised to see so much of my Grandfather in the real Malarkey. Just a similar physical resemblance.
A great reaction.would just like to say we appreciate all the struggles you go through to get these episodes on your channel.you're a hell of a lady Ms.K in and you do a wonderful job👍😁👍😁👍😁. Love the braids♥️♥️♥️♥️
I highly recommend having tissue available for episode 9 "Why We Fight". In my opinion the hardest episode to watch.
everything from bastogne on is hard. but yeah your ep 6 was *chefs kiss*
Spiers got the biggest balls in human history … in contention for sure
Greyhound with Tom Hanks is a great WW2 movie, if you haven’t seen it
Well done K. Keep up the great work and thanks for all that you do. Hoping you and yours have a great year.
If you aint a Winters simp then somethings wrong with you, man is so good his assault on the 88s during D-day has essentially become doctrine/textbook example of how to perform a similar assault I believe. Also I'd have said episode 9 would've been the hardest to watch just because in my experience most people haven't seen the actual footage or good representations of something that is shown in the episode.
I enjoy watching your reactions, one to revisit the movie and see your take on the movie. It’s also cool to see your authentic intelligent understanding of what these people and the events they went through .
"people say this is the hardest episode"
Me: laughs in episode 9
Without spoiling anything just prepare yourself for the last few episodes. They won’t be easy at all

Dyke was done wrong by the series and book among other men. He earned a Bronze Star, and was shot in the shoulder during Foy as he was in shock from having almost his entire arm blown off, it's a case of enlisted men in a close knit bubble not seeing the full picture. Just like Albert Blythe, they thought he died and yet he didn't die and went on to fight valiantly in WW2 and later served in Korea. Or Joe Leibgott, who they thought was Jewish, but he was Roman Catholic and spoke with a thick Brooklyn accent so they figured he was Jewish lol.
Should have included the deaths of Muck and Penkala and cut Lip’s report to Winters if you had to.
Penkala**
@@AlexPenkala_and_SkipMuck Thanks. I was too tired to look it up last night.
It's been an absolute pleasure!!! Thank you!!!
Toughest episode will be NINE.
Haha 3:52 simp on Winters lol :) hilarious
@1:50 to most of us War is just a word, something we should all be very grateful for. Think of this Man. 50+ years later and still can barely talk about it.
Think on that.
You might not suffer proper physical death, but no one really survives it.
This show is amazing,the last 2 episodes just hit different.Be ready!!!!
