Same thing at the Battle of the Choisin Reservoir, where Marine General Chesty Puller said: "Now we can shoot in every direction and always hit the enemy". The Marines were serrounded by the vast Chinese Army. The Marines had to fight themselves out ot the encirclement, every Marine had to march out of there. Except the drivers, machinegunners, corpsmen and severly wounded. And being shot and having a bullit inside you did NOT qualify as severly wounded, you had to march.
My Grandfather served in Dog company..he said they had an excellent leader in Speirs. He also told me how he knew Lt. Lipton...he said Bastone was hell on earth..like nothing he could even describe.
BoB was absolutely, without a doubt, THE BEST series ever produced. Endlessly rewatchable and makes one appreciate what their grandfathers did for the world.
They are all gone now Easy Company. What they went through in their 20’s is something no one could understand except EASY themselves. It changed their perspective of life and left indelible memories for the rest of their lives. Reunions would help heal some of their wounds and bring back sad memories of the men EASY left behind. They will all be remembered to Eternity. God Bless Easy Company. 🦅
I'd Argue the Marines on the Islands could easily understand what they went through. Although- I think most of them could one up every single one of their stories D day was bad- but for the most part we treated each other as humans in battle nothing like the Eastern front or Island campaign. That's why Churchill called it "The Last Gentleman's War". Although the Falkland Campaign was fought more than fairly.
I did two Wespac tours in the Navy by the time I was 21...couldn't even buy a beer. Such is life, them's the rules. Live with it. Not complaining...bragging! 😁👍
These men were so young. This is when men were men. Massive respect for those who fought at such young age. Wish I could be even half as brave as these men were
They will never die. They live on in the examples bravery, perseverance and grit in every generation of the men who choose to be this way. They are out there now. All over America. Patriots getting fed up. Veterans sick and tired of having their sacrifices and those of these men and all in between shit on. We will rise and overcome and the spirit if Easy Company will live on.
Yeah, now Republicans are plotting to cut funding for VA hospitals and veterans benefits. But they sure love to hug the flag and use veterans as campaign props.
My father, while not mentioned in BoB, was one of these guys. He was a replacement officer and part of the group that took The Eagles Nest, I have pictures of him there. As a kid I never understood why he couldn't sleep and always seemed agitated. I started to understand when my brother and I came back from Vietnam. Now, my brother's gone, too. Who'll remember us?
@Rod Cleaves. I grew up reading about you and I know for most 18 year olds their heroes are from Marvel and so on. But I want you to know that you who served in the wars will always be my heroes! You are remembered and always will be! Thank you so so so very much for your service and sacrifices that you made!!!! I am very sorry for your loss and I pray That the nightmares of war leave and you are given peace.
American patriots and enemies of tyranny around the world will hold these people on the highest rung of the respect ladder for eternity my friend...THERES A LOT MORE OF US THAN THE NEWS WILL LET U THINK BROTHER...DONT WATCH THOSE COMMIES AND KEEP YOUR PRIDE FRIEND
@@johnmarston6706 : Since you asked; The greatest story ever told is the Life, Death and Resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ, God made man. My guess is; that if you asked any of these men, who are depicted in these stories of the greatest generation, then they would tell you the same thing. They took up their cross and followed Him to Hell on Earth and back again. May they rest in peace, Amen.
@@frost3193 : Yes, I do believe in Our Lord Jesus Christ and further for complete clarification, I believe in the fullness of the Nicene Creed, in whole and in part. Thank you for asking and allowing my declaration.
My Uncle Ed Sayles was with the 101st at Bastogne during the Battle of the Bulge, unfortunately I never had the chance to talk to him about it as I found out after he passed, he was a Sargeant.
My grandfather on my mom's side was dropped in on a glider ahead of these guys. He wouldn't talk about much but he remembered the concentration camp. The found it because of the smell and the railway. He could never watch this though. The real thing was much worse and even after nearly 4 decades it was still burned into his mind. Being a paratrooper was deadly, but even they were scared of being in a glider.
Thank you to the men of Easy co. and to all the men and women who served in WW2 and made this world better and now the they are slowly disappearing the world is worse off without them in it.
Easy company everyone who served to give their lives for our freedom thank you and as of 2020 2021 forgive us for those that have insulted everything you gave for us
How young they were. So ready to give everything to save their comrades. I salute you band of brothers. Not just easy company but the other thousands that went and died to prove America was the greatest nation on earth. You called in America and you got results.
I like all of 'em, but if I had to pick a favorite it'd have to be Spiers. He's a great combination of leadership, bravery, conspicuous gallantry, humor, wit, knowledge, tactical and technical proficiency, all with a stone cold focus and determination to get the job done. Never talks back to superiors, respects and takes care of his subordinates, and the mysterious air that follows him with the execution incident is icing on the cake.
For those who have not experienced being colonized and robbed of freedom and identity will never understand why young men and women die in combat or in wars not their own. When I watch BoB (done so a hundred times and will continue to do so) I cannot help but cry for those who fought in those wars especially those who didn't make it home. I always pray for them and I wish that God will grant my wish to visit the graves of those soldiers in different parts of the world, be it in Normandy, Philippines, Vietnam, Korea, etc. before God calls me home and meet these men and women in heaven. I do not support war but I honor every man and woman who fight for freedom.
"For those who have not experienced being colonized and robbed of freedom and identity will never understand why young men and women die in combat or in wars not their own". You 've seen too many Hollywood movies, and have most likely never served in the military. The reason is much simpler than that. It's because when you serve in the military, those people you serve with become like a family. They are not doing it for love of country or some elected politician who orders them to do these dangerous tasks, they do it for each other, so that they all have the chance to get back home together. When I am out walking out in town with my Marine Veteran ballcap on, and someone comes up to me and thanks me for my service, it is sort of annoying because it has become the catchphrase of the day but lacks sincerity. If you want to thank a veteran for their service, buy them a meal, donate to a veterans organization that helps those that were wounded or have become disabled, volunteer at a center that services veterans needs.
Like trump, bolton, Mcconnell, Gingrich, orielly, carslson all unlike Tammy Duckworth and a host of others comming back from the ME in coffins and with no legs, no arms, no faces, can’t recognize their own daughters.
I can't disagree with your choices. But I'd say there are maybe about 10 actors who do so well in this. I mean they all do, but you know, the best ones.
Early twenties these men were, leading men and trusting each other with their lives. 2018, twenties are smoking weed cause life is just too hard being well fed, clothes, and warm..
Watching this video reminds me of when I was in the ARMY and sometimes when we were in the field, sure we had regular food but sometimes we ate C RATIONS but sometimes we would heat them up with tea coffee or just plain water and we would use our P38 to open the cans,now they have MRES times change for the better
You know, Airborne is an antiquated form of combat insertion that the 101st doesn't even use anymore, but this shit makes me damn proud to have earned my jump wings!
The reason why they don't use it is because the ride in helos. It's not antiquated when you need to take an airfield in the middle of the night. Helos have to be in range of their base but you can send paratroopers anywhere, anytime and any place with a plane and a flat area to land in. And yes I have made my drops in Panama and also in the Stans before it became the place to spend some time away from home and the missus. Nothing better than rigging up and going out the door in the middle of the night carrying more crap with you than you thought you needed.

I love it when Winters is addressing the troopers before they board the C-47. He says “God bless you”. The man was an extraordinary officer and leader and he says something so gentle to his men before the slaughter of d-day.
How could we lose the war with men like this?? And this is 1 company of 1 division!! We had an army full of men like this!! And the marines! The navy! All the armed forces of America!! Pity the fool! That has the combined anger of America against it!!

Le sergent Lipton est comme ses camarades de la Easy Company un excellent élément Une scène culte l arrivée des soldats américains qui découvrent les camps de la mort ils sont horrifiés ! !
I have a personal thank you note from Major Winters I got for sending a $20 check to Clancy Lyall. Those men were class. Maj Winters died the same weekend as my father. God's speed.
They started off as kids form all over the USA. Then they turned in to real men, doing what had to be done. Each a once young and innocent man, indoctrinated into the ":Profession of Arms" Shame i cant shake the hand of each and everyone of them. Hey and I'm an Aussie.... Oh and we had our hero's as well.

He was from Bronxville, not The Bronx. Bronxville is a wealthy Westchester suburb. This was still a time when the wealthy fought the wars they expected the rest of us to fight. This is actually the reason my favorite character was Nixon. He came from Robber Barron money (almost a Rockefeller or Carnegie). He was literally one of the wealthiest people on the planet, yet he signed up as a second lieutenant in the paratroopers. Today, if someone did that it would be about their political future. In 1942, when he signed up, it was expected of the rich to die alongside the common man. He had zero future ambition. He simply felt it was duty to act as no wealthy person would act today. (I am an ex Bronx resident).
Thank you to all the soldiers who fort against the nazi tyranny in WW2 To keep us safe ,and to all the amazing soldiers of today that fight against the Islamic tyranny today ,you are all heroes I salute you all, your bravery is amazing you are all supermen, god bless you and thank you👍
They were soldiers who became legends in their lifetime The Third Great War will begin, who will be next out of the millions who died and are forgotten save for memorials
Easy Co was indeed one of the best fighting forces of WWII. Trying to keep things in perspective, paratroopers were an experimental method of warfare and no one was certain it would work. That was why they trained for so long. (Well that and they weren't ready for the invasion of mainland Europe yet.) There were 8, EIGHT companies of paratroopers that landed at Normandy. Why are the other 7 all but mists of the past? Why were their deeds not recorded for the annals of time? Because Easy company had a better publisher. Col. Sink. Every single time Easy gave Sink another win to brag about, the next time he needed something done, his pets got the job done, so it just created a self repeating cycle. There's nothing wrong with being proud of their achievements but there's a whole other army that fought just as hard and an entire other theater of operations and they all put their signatures on that blank check to Uncle Sam. Why is it that it took almost a decade before HBO designed to do a show about that? And why are people not oohing and aahing over those heroes? Why was time allowed to pass until those soldiers passed from this world and us by our neglect leaving the impression that their stories must not have been as important because all the world thought was important was Easy Company.
It took a special type of individual to serve as a paratrooper, because they were taught to expect to operate behind enemy lines, and for extended periods cut-off from reinforcements, supply and perhaps from their chain of command. What we call "Special Ops" forces today were not yet fully-invented, but the men of E Company, 506 PIR, functioned not unlike spec ops troops would later on - elite troopers trained to a very high standard and skilled in all aspects of infantry combat, tasked with dropping behind enemy lines - often at night - and tasked with taking out high-value and/or the most heavily-defended targets. History records that Patton's Third Army relieved the siege of Bastogne at Christmas, 1944, but to this day, none of the men of E Co. 506 PIR have ever admitted needing to be rescued in the first place!
@@GeorgiaBoy1961 Yep - regiments like the US 506th and the British L Detachment (original Special Air Service) in WWII were the originals of what we would call the special forces and Spec Ops of today. Would be interesting to see how every nation's special operations + forces units worked in a truly large scale war like World War 2, if they would deploy in full companies and battalions like this; albeit in a simulation scenario, I don't wish for a third world war with today's technology
every time i watch i'm assuming they are men... but i'm 32. 10 years older than most of them. i still feel like a boy... and look at the shit they had to go through and probably die for. what a fucking tragedy
Super job. It would be great if you fleshed it out even more with other men in Easy Company and more scenes with each soldier. I wouldn’t mind if it were thirty minutes long. You really edited this so well that the video seemed short due to these heroes. The background music was perfect for once!
Gerry Thanos yes I know great men I mean look at them there ages only 22, 20, 27 and so on the same age as my two kids there courage knowledge I could go on but watching this it made me cry 😢 I salute them all. I think they are all dead now. Respect to them all
@@laneyspangle4474 The oldest ones of Easy were Perconte and Liebgott..25 and 27, which isn't even old. They all had to stand their ground in their early 20s.
Average age of a serviceman in World War II was 25. That was the standard throughout the branches of service. Even Bomb and Fighter Group commanders, Colonels, were not much older than their men 28 to 30. Combat flying was a young man's mission. President George H. W. Bush was a 20 yr old pilot during the war. Youngest man to earn Wings of Gold during the war. Flew TBM Avenger torpedo bombers off USS San Jacinto, a CVL (Light Carrier).
I wish the series and this video would put the real face with the movie character. The beginning of each episode had the interview. But was confusing who they were in the movie.
When over 1,600 turn out for George Luz' funeral...you know he was not only a great Soldier but an even better person.
RIP Men of Easy Company
"We are paratroopers. We are meant to be surrounded." Dick Winters. Best quote of the series.
Same thing at the Battle of the Choisin Reservoir, where Marine General Chesty Puller said: "Now we can shoot in every direction and always hit the enemy". The Marines were serrounded by the vast Chinese Army. The Marines had to fight themselves out ot the encirclement, every Marine had to march out of there. Except the drivers, machinegunners, corpsmen and severly wounded. And being shot and having a bullit inside you did NOT qualify as severly wounded, you had to march.
The game steel division 2 has the paras say that quote during battle. I was wondering the origin
Said to Jimmy Fallon...
Tied with "we salute the rank, not the man"!
Nope, it’s the second best quote behind Nixon’s, “if I thought you’d drink it I wouldn’t have offered it to you.”
My Grandfather served in Dog company..he said they had an excellent leader in Speirs. He also told me how he knew Lt. Lipton...he said Bastone was hell on earth..like nothing he could even describe.
They were called, The Battling Bastards of Bastone!
BoB was absolutely, without a doubt, THE BEST series ever produced. Endlessly rewatchable and makes one appreciate what their grandfathers did for the world.
I would say the second, right behind Deadwood.
I can't explain the feeling I get when watch ANY Band of Brothers clip.
I literally get goosebumps and feel the camaraderie. I can imagine how tight the bonds btw soldiers must be during battle.
The video left out Malarkey. Terrible to leave out Malarkey. From the Oregon coast. Died just a few years ago. Key member of Easy Company.
Not to mention he was the very last member of Easy company who passed away IIRC. Correct me if I am wrong.

Doc Roe was a silent leader. He seem to be always there when needed, and it was not only for medical purpose.
Loved Doc
He learned from his grandma the healer.
Sgt Lipton was my favorite character I especially liked his story when he compared the artillery bombardment to fireworks
As a Pennsylvania man myself, I am in awe and truly incredibly thankful for their sacrifices. The greatest generation.

Those who have served appreciate tributes such as this. May they never be forgotten. We live for them now. Proud to have served . A scene from this movie that warms my heart is when Lt Speirs relieves Dike and takes over the attack. It’s stuff like that…yeah.
HEART beating so fast for our HEROES AMEN
Still get goosebumps...god bless
Good video. Have the Band of Brothers DvD collection. RIP GENTLEMEN for you are the guys that have the world. The Greatest generation Heroes all. The men that came before in the Army.
Le sergent Lipton est comme ses camarades de la Easy Company un excellent élément
Une scène culte l arrivée des soldats américains qui découvrent les camps de la mort ils sont horrifiés ! !
this is actually a great compilation. job well done
4:53 was perfect editing. Chills.
I have a personal thank you note from Major Winters I got for sending a $20 check to Clancy Lyall.
Those men were class.
Maj Winters died the same weekend as my father.
God's speed.
Met Clancy many times in St Inigo and Ridge, MD where he lived. Good man.
They started off as kids form all over the USA.
Then they turned in to real men, doing what had to be done.
Each a once young and innocent man, indoctrinated into the ":Profession of Arms"
Shame i cant shake the hand of each and everyone of them.
Hey and I'm an Aussie....
Oh and we had our hero's as well.
Doing the came.

Beautiful song.
We're paratroopers were supposed to be surrounded
My favorite line of the whole movie/series.
@@Bra-a-ains mine too..
You know, anyone that has not been to jump school would not understand that
Effectively you aren’t supposed to be surrounded.
I bought all episode,nowdays it not EASY to collecting such a best war movies... but damn it,some one took it from me..
All my life I’ve visited Lancaster, Pennsylvania and had no idea that Dick Winters was born there
10/10 enjoyed this - thank you!
Best war movie I have ever seen👍👍
“Sergeants reverse!”
He says “start to traverse” as in shift your fire on “the crest of that hill”
What about Doc Roe? :(
Was Doc originally part of Easy or did he get transferred/was a replacement?
@@Red_Beard2798 originally easy co
And malarkey (probably misspelled)
They were basicly kids...Just a padawans.
BoB and The Pacific are by far the best war series made. Not even close
Great Ovid with great actors
An amazing story about amazing men
It’s amazing that none of them were older than 26.
"They've got us surrounded again, the poor bastards!" --COL Creighton Abrams, Commander, 37th Tank Bn during the relief of Bastogne
An amazing story to be told
I can’t believe David Webster was from the same borough as me, Thats so wild. And to think I found him as one the most interesting characters in BoB
He was from Bronxville, not The Bronx. Bronxville is a wealthy Westchester suburb.
This was still a time when the wealthy fought the wars they expected the rest of us to fight.
This is actually the reason my favorite character was Nixon. He came from Robber Barron money (almost a Rockefeller or Carnegie). He was literally one of the wealthiest people on the planet, yet he signed up as a second lieutenant in the paratroopers. Today, if someone did that it would be about their political future. In 1942, when he signed up, it was expected of the rich to die alongside the common man. He had zero future ambition. He simply felt it was duty to act as no wealthy person would act today.
(I am an ex Bronx resident).
@@mikeburke7053 ah didn’t catch that. But yeah, times were definitely different. Nixon’s one of my favorites too.
Is that Jimmy Fallon making a cameo at 10:30? Sure looks like him.
LOL, good to know my eyes aren't failing me!
Farbar1955 for him not being an actor he sure did a decent job.
Randy Boisa I'm not sure if you're aware or not, but these guys are all actors, none of them served in the actual airborne or sacrificed anything.
Thank goodness for that.
Randy Boisa stfu nobody cares
Now we know Matt groening inspiration for the war crazy one arm character: Ronald speirs.
Thank you to all the soldiers who fort against the nazi tyranny in WW2 To keep us safe ,and to all the amazing soldiers of today that fight against the Islamic tyranny today ,you are all heroes I salute you all, your bravery is amazing you are all supermen, god bless you and thank you👍
They were soldiers who became legends in their lifetime
The Third Great War will begin, who will be next out of the millions who died and are forgotten save for memorials
What or where would we be without them. Also where would we be without the Greatest Generation. GRIP
Speaking German and Japanese.
Easy Co was indeed one of the best fighting forces of WWII. Trying to keep things in perspective, paratroopers were an experimental method of warfare and no one was certain it would work. That was why they trained for so long. (Well that and they weren't ready for the invasion of mainland Europe yet.) There were 8, EIGHT companies of paratroopers that landed at Normandy. Why are the other 7 all but mists of the past? Why were their deeds not recorded for the annals of time? Because Easy company had a better publisher. Col. Sink. Every single time Easy gave Sink another win to brag about, the next time he needed something done, his pets got the job done, so it just created a self repeating cycle. There's nothing wrong with being proud of their achievements but there's a whole other army that fought just as hard and an entire other theater of operations and they all put their signatures on that blank check to Uncle Sam. Why is it that it took almost a decade before HBO designed to do a show about that? And why are people not oohing and aahing over those heroes? Why was time allowed to pass until those soldiers passed from this world and us by our neglect leaving the impression that their stories must not have been as important because all the world thought was important was Easy Company.
We're paratroopers Lt. we suppoese to be surrounde.
This paraphrase chills me
It took a special type of individual to serve as a paratrooper, because they were taught to expect to operate behind enemy lines, and for extended periods cut-off from reinforcements, supply and perhaps from their chain of command. What we call "Special Ops" forces today were not yet fully-invented, but the men of E Company, 506 PIR, functioned not unlike spec ops troops would later on - elite troopers trained to a very high standard and skilled in all aspects of infantry combat, tasked with dropping behind enemy lines - often at night - and tasked with taking out high-value and/or the most heavily-defended targets. History records that Patton's Third Army relieved the siege of Bastogne at Christmas, 1944, but to this day, none of the men of E Co. 506 PIR have ever admitted needing to be rescued in the first place!
@@GeorgiaBoy1961 Yep - regiments like the US 506th and the British L Detachment (original Special Air Service) in WWII were the originals of what we would call the special forces and Spec Ops of today. Would be interesting to see how every nation's special operations + forces units worked in a truly large scale war like World War 2, if they would deploy in full companies and battalions like this; albeit in a simulation scenario, I don't wish for a third world war with today's technology
every time i watch i'm assuming they are men... but i'm 32. 10 years older than most of them. i still feel like a boy... and look at the shit they had to go through and probably die for. what a fucking tragedy
It’s very hard not to see Lt Ronald Speirs as a great American Warrior.
You’re wrong. He is every bit the warrior.
Super job. It would be great if you fleshed it out even more with other men in Easy Company and more scenes with each soldier. I wouldn’t mind if it were thirty minutes long. You really edited this so well that the video seemed short due to these heroes. The background music was perfect for once!
There is a limit on how much you can show before you earn a copyright strike from the owners.
I can’t believe they all in there twenties so young
Laney Spangle ......I notice that too! These brave young man are heroes! They save the world! God Bless USA!
Gerry Thanos yes I know great men I mean look at them there ages only 22, 20, 27 and so on the same age as my two kids there courage knowledge I could go on but watching this it made me cry 😢 I salute them all. I think they are all dead now. Respect to them all
@@laneyspangle4474 The oldest ones of Easy were Perconte and Liebgott..25 and 27, which isn't even old. They all had to stand their ground in their early 20s.
km93 19 I agree 100%
Average age of a serviceman in World War II was 25. That was the standard throughout the branches of service. Even Bomb and Fighter Group commanders, Colonels, were not much older than their men 28 to 30. Combat flying was a young man's mission. President George H. W. Bush was a 20 yr old pilot during the war. Youngest man to earn Wings of Gold during the war. Flew TBM Avenger torpedo bombers off USS San Jacinto, a CVL (Light Carrier).
Braver men than all of us
Band of American Heroes!!!!!!!
I wish the series and this video would put the real face with the movie character. The beginning of each episode had the interview. But was confusing who they were in the movie.
The actors looked like the soldier they were portraying 🐱🇺🇸
