So interesting fact about the filming of the scene is they used real cancer patients from a near by hospital as the prisoners and they kept the cast away from the camp so their reactions were genuine seeing the camp for the first time. The director wanted to have a shorter scene due to concerns of over working the patients but the patients knew how Important the scene was and wanted to keep going. To those People I am grateful for because this scene is very heavy hitting.
Side note: I remember you saying you weren’t going to as affected to this episode because of the previous comments preparing you for it, I kinda giggled when I heard it because it hits hard every-time I see it no matter how many times I’ve seen it before and I know others are the same way
And the cancer patients were said to be in better shape than the actual prisoners found. Talk about horrific.
and even so, the scenes are sanitized when compared to the reality. even so, it still makes my cry.
A little known story is that ww2 conscientious objectors ended up saving a ton of these people because they volunteered for a University of Minnesota experiment/study. They purposefully starved themselves for many days because of the extremely high likelihood of starving refugees from the war. Its entirely possible due to the knowledge gained about getting people back into a healthy normal diet, that experiment saved potentially millions.
I've seen the actual photos that Eisenhower ordered taken at the camps. The inmates are barely recognizable as human. The bodies are so malnourished and mauled that your brain just doesn't comprehend what you're looking at... And then you start seeing things like hands... And you realize "that's a human being."
I was a paratrooper, and part of the appeal of Blood on the Risers (and why those guys were smiling while singing) is that it gives voice to your fears about jumping out of a plane in a way where you see that fear is shared by everyone.
It's a community thing. "This thing (jumping out of a plane and potentially having my chute catastrophically malfunction) scares me, but that's okay because it scares everyone and we're still going to do it."
Fyi: camp Toccoa has been restored, if you havnt been you should come. There is a race up Currahee and parade held ever year in honor of paratroopers.
This is why I never liked jumping alone. It'll never happen to me but to the other guy. Same as going into battle.
I'm glad someone who has been there was here to explain it better than I could have. I never served in any branch. I am an ardent historian when it comes to war and strategy and stuff. The way i was going to explain it is essentially that a soldiers job is 24/7 and can be terrifying and deadly even in training. The soldiers sing songs like this as a way to help cope with the fear and anxiety and put a ready face on to do their jobs.
Also, all of that aside, Blood on the Risers is catchy as fuck. I dare you to listen to it more than once and not start singing.
I love the part at 8:05 Nix barges into her home, destroys probably one of the few pictures she has of her husband left, and then, to add insult to injury, the dog starts barking at Nix, reminding him how his wife got even the dog. In this case, he's the one that is averting his eyes and looks at the ground in shame. In the later scene at 12:01, when the civilians are burying the bodies of the prisoners and we see the same woman, she looks up Nixon until their gazes meet and then she's the one that averts her eyes and looks at the ground in shame. Amazing cinematography.
As other people have mentioned, a lot of the prisoners were played by cancer patients, but what also adds heavily to the atmosphere is that the actors were kept away from the camp's set until the day of the scene's shooting.
Also the prisoner at 9:20 isn't speaking German contrary to what the subs say, but Croatian/Serbian and he's asking "please help him, he's not dead."
@@Pawniac In another video the subtitles said "speaking in Polish." Guess not every channel knows what language it is. Kinda like that story of the Hungarian pow in the Soviet Union. Everyone thought he was crazy, as he was talking gibberish. Hungarian is closer to Finnish and Estonian, but not like any other language in existanse. A doctor in the 70s, I believe, recognised it as Hungarian, and the guy was released.
I think the episode (and maybe the series) culminate in that point between Nix and the German woman. Both are judged by the other for a crime, and the question is begged - with an obvious answer - who here has committed the greater offense? I doubt that hausfrau killed anyone directly, but with certainty she indirectly supported the most monstrous of crimes.
@@airborngrmp1 especially being so close to that camp, it’s unlikely she didn’t know, with her husband occupying such a high position.
@@CChissel If you or anyone is interested, read "The German War: A Nation Under Arms 1939-1945" by Nicholas Stargardt. He details exhaustively just how widely known the massacres in the east were (although the German public had little knowledge of the deathcamps in Poland).
When Supreme Allied Commander, Dwight Eisenhower, saw a concentration camp for the first time at Ohrdruf, he was so outraged he had the local townspeople marched at gunpoint through the camp. The local Burgermeister and his wife killed themselves after being shown the camp. He also ordered every reporter and photographer he could find to come and document the condition at Ohrdruf. He said knew that people would try to deny what happened.
According to Omar Bradley's "A Soldier's Story" when he, General Eisenhower and General 'Blood and Guts' Patton were at that camp "Patton walked over to a corner and sickened".
And now because China Influences the economy we say nothing about what they're doing.
And still people think that communism is ok.
Look at what's happening in China. They've got millions of Uyghurs in "Internment Camps"
They're doing forced slave labor. Concentration camps.
And no one bats a fucking eye...
@@11DNA11 In fact we accept business deals with them left and right. Shocking. Yet it’s Russia who is getting punished at the Olympics this year.... again.
@@thatperformer3879 Maybe that has to do with the fact that Putin is a fascist maniac, who's bent on trying to steal back all the territory the USSR lost when it folded. Make no mistake, Russia is the ENEMY of all free peoples.
My grandfather was part of the 17th airborne, the division that Nixon jumped with in this episode. He came in late in the war as a replacement officer just in time for "Operation Varsity" which was the 17th airborne's jump into Germany. It was the largest airborne operation in history to be conducted on a single day and in one location (by the 17th airborne and British 6th airborne). The 101st and 82nd got to sit that one out since they had been in the war for much longer and had 2 combat jumps already. In some sense, the German Army was already considered defeated going into Operation Varsity, but in a way that made them more dangerous, like cornering a wounded animal..at any rate, the allies suffered 2700 casualties and lost 72 aircraft. On the ground, they saw pretty much the last bit of combat of the European theater. My Grandfather was given a bronze star for helping secure a road in the town of Wesel. When he was alive, every time we ran into other ww2 vets he always acted as if they saw more than him. In truth, he saw more in that single operation than i saw for 7 months in Afghanistan. Truly the greatest generation
My dad as well was a Glider Trooper of the 194th Glider Infantry Regiment, 17th Airborne...combat veteran of the Battle of the Bulge, Rhineland Campaign, and Operation Varsity. I have binoculars he took off a German officer when they surrendered to his unit. His and his unit's "baptism of fire" was the "Battle of Dead Mans Ridge" the first week of January 1945. During this action his regiment took 50% casualties in 3 days of combat.
HooAhh
@@natskivna that's awesome! My grandpa was actually in the glider Regiment for the 17th as well. Wonder if they crossed paths
@@joeberger3441 There is a book written specifically about Operation Varsity named "Four Hours of Fury" by James Fenelon that details the entire story from build up to the drop to the battle to the aftermath. Well worth your time if you're interested in learning more. I actually have corresponded with the author looking to find more information about my dad. Perhaps he has information about your Grandfather. Good luck to you.
Its crazy to hear about Wesel here, I live like 5 Kilometers away from it. All these towns along the rhine were badly bombed as well. Sad to see how one man and a perverted ideology can bring the whole world to such destruction.
This episode always gets me. Sad this series is coming to an end, but looking forward to your reactions of The Pacific!
Oof. The Pacific is rough. Just want to emphasize for Kamilla that we'd understand if she doesn't do it or has to quit partway through
@@ErdTirdMans Yes - it was a different kind of warfare for the Marines. The geography of the islands generally meant there wasn't much room for maneuver.
The Pacific has a completely different feel to it too. Same kind of quality, but very different focus.
There was a time when the world asked ordinary men to do extraordinary things
@@In.Darkness UncommonValor was a Common Virtue
Please...never apologize for getting emotional about the subject matter of this episode. It would be far more appropriate for someone to apologize for NOT having feelings about these subjects. ✌💯
6:35 That song is the Paratrooper Hymn called "Blood Upon the Risers". It has the same tune as the popular American march "Battle Hymn of the Republic"
And Battle Hymn isn’t even the original it’s John Browns Body
@@andrewmellen8092 'John Brown's body lies a-mouldering in the grave...'
@@andrewmellen8092 Haha got there before be, John Brown remains a legend to this day.
This entire series, but ESPECIALLY this episode should be shown in all high school history classes.
“If anyone ever tells you the Holocaust didn't happen, or that it wasn't as bad as they say, no, it was worse than they say. What we saw, what these Germans did, it was worse than you can possibly imagine.” - Edward "Babe" Heffron
Totally agree, I'm 57 and had HEARD of the Holocaust as part of history and seen the odd photo, but it was watching this particular episode that made it real, several particular scenes wrenching at my heart
"Why are they singing that song so happily?" It's one of the best cadences out there 🥲😂
Kamilla,
Bless you young woman. You have nothing to apologize for or be ashamed of. Your reaction to this episode is exactly the same as anyone else who has a pulse and a heart. I wrote a few episodes ago about a Bastogne survivor at Christmas.
One of my first patients as a Corpsman in the Navy was a retired US Navy Captain, he had served his adoptive country for 30 years. He was dying, cancer, but he was also down on himself. Got upset when I called him Sir. I was raised to call my elders Sir or Ma'am. It is a sign of respect. The Navy enforced that as he was an officer, I was enlisted. He had earned that respect. Long story short, I grabbed his arm , gently, and pointed at the serial number some pigs had burned into him. You see he survived Dachau, his future wife of 60 years also had one. She survived Auschwitz.
Why we fight indeed.
I was US Army Airborne up until 2017, we still sing that song (blood on the risers) with enthusiasm lol
I've seen a lot of BoB reactions, from men, women, of all ages, and from all parts of the world, and not a single one can sit through Why We Fight without crying.
😆 😅 😂 🤣
They toned it down SO much too... You know they used cancer patients to play the inmates? The real inmates were in even worse shape.
Nope. I'm a 63 year old man and I still cry every time I watch this episode. It's beyond heart-wrenching.
My girlfriend's best friend is Jewish and lost all four of her grandparents in the Holocaust. Fortunately her parents were children at the time and were sent to the UK and US for safety.
The action that Captain Nixon jumped in is Operation Varsity...the same battle my father also participated in (as well as being someone who fought close to where Easy fought at Foy...at a place called Flamierge). All at the age of 19.
You never have to apologize for being human. :)
6:07 That is so extremely, massively, hugely common in all armed forces during all wars that there's even a name for it. A "Dear John" letter. As in "Dear John, I met someone else. Bye"
Yeah, Buck got one a few episodes back.
You can tell Steven Spielberg directed this episode. He’s always been hands on when it comes to the Holocaust because it’s so personal to him. I think Webster shouting at the German soldiers really does ask the question “Why are we even here?” You later get the answer. Hitler was such a coward, he was so afraid of the Soviets that he hid in a bunker for several days getting crazier and crazier. He ordered his generals to fight until every last German man, woman, and child were dead. He wanted the German people to die, because he he knew he was going to die. But rather than have the balls to follow is own orders, he shot himself in order to prevent being captured. The German officers realized at that moment they had to stop the fighting, or risk total annihilation of the German people. So a few days after Hitler’s death, they surrendered.
My late father-Lester Jamison- was a member of the 101st Airborne. He jumped on D-Day, again in Holland. He was surrounded in Bastogne, fought in the Ruhr Pocket. Was riding on a Sherman tank in Austria/Czechoslovakia when the krauts surrendered. He re-enlisted, volunteered for the Pacific. His two brothers were still fighting there. Part of the occupation force after V-J Day. The three brothers made it home. I couldn’t be more proud! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Respect🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Well done, this is a truly tough watch, I've been to Auschwitz myself and it is, confronting. This episode is important, it is also among the very best TV. The opening, a devastated town, showing the impact of the War on Germany, the musicians playing a beautiful refrain from the German composer Beethoven, showing German culture at its finest. Then the struggles of the men, the mass surrender as the German army starts to collapse, finally leading to the Camp which shows the stark horror authored by Hitler, perpetrated by the Nazi regime. Before finalising with the news that Hitler is dead, the sweet music ends. It demonstrates the evil that Hitler represented, what this evil led the German people to both in terms of atrocity and destruction and it contrasts it with the beauty that German culture has contributed to the world, at once tainted by Hitler but, hopefully, enduring and that Germany will rehabilitate and that Beethoven will echo through the centuries where as Hitler and the Nazi's will descend to an ignominious warning to all nations.
Well said
Webster actually wrote a book after the war which i highly recommend, "Parachute Infantry" one of the better books about E company especially because of his literature background.
My great uncle was from the Republic of Ireland. He served in the British army during the war, he never made it home.
This episode really goes through all the way to one's core. I don't know a single person unphased by the depicted events in this one. Love your take on that after the reaction. Bless your heart, Kamilla.
Military (Marching) Songs are either Perverse, or Gallows Humor.
They cleaned up the Lyrics for "Ain't gonna Jump no More" quite a bit.
“Well you ain’t getting none of my eggs you blockhead” I love that part🤣🤣
One of my uncles helped liberate Gunskirschen, a sub-camp of Mauthausen. Almost fifty years later he said that he could close his eyes and still see and smell it...🙏
The scene with the survivor hugging the soldier and crying got me every time I watch.
never apologize for being human, I still get choked up every time I watch this episode.
That song is Blood on the Risers. The song tells of the final fatal jump of a rookie paratrooper whose parachute fails to deploy. This results in him falling to his death.
Need you to start The Pacific after you finish Band of Brothers. Great 10-part the pacific war miniseries
I’ve been waiting for this episode. Thank you for watching this show, I’ve enjoyed your reactions ever since episode 1 ! 🙂
The violin case snapping shut like a coffin lid at the end gets me every time. A few months ago HBO posted a Band of Brothers podcast series on TH-cam in honor of the 20th anniversary of the show. The podcasts cover the making of each episode, and the one discussing "Why We Fight" has some fascinating details (well, pretty much all of the BOB podcasts do, but this one is especially compelling).
th-cam.com/video/4hAE7xl6O5Y/w-d-xo.html
The was also a band of brothers podcast series done on history hack with the actors , show makers and real life families of easy company
I'm an Aussie, about 24...every year we remember our Anzacs...who went across the other side world to fight this....growing up..we don't realise how lucky we are
My father was at the liberation of Dachau. He didn't talk about it much , but he said he could't believe that human beings could treat other human beings that way. It left a deep impression on him.
Gory Gory What a Helluva a way to die was the song they sang because the parachutes at the time didn’t work very well and had a tendency to fail
The actor playing the soldier that shot them unarmed germans on their knees is Tom Hanks.
In case you didn’t notice. 😉
I'm really hoping you watch The Pacific sometimes after this.
The Pacific features the 1st Marine Division's battles in the Pacific, such as Guadalcanal, Cape Gloucester, Peleliu, and Okinawa, and the Battle of Iwo Jima.
It is based primarily on the memoirs of two US Marines.
The war in the Pacific was a different animal altogether.
That's Tom Hardy as Janovic, the soldier Spiers interrupts to get his goods.
My Dad's uncle served in the army in WWII, 20th armored division. They liberated the camp at Dachau. He never said much about it except that after seeing what they did, he no longer felt bad about the germans he shot at.
theyre singing "blood on the risors" so happily because theyre elite, haver esprit de corps, and most importantly, you have to be alive to sing it.
I know it's been over a year but I just wanted to say that your reactions to this series have been amazing. One aspect of my struggle to understand is that at the start of the 20th Century, Germany was the paragon of Western Civilization. They had an advanced social welfare program. Their industry had taken off. They had one of the best educated, most literate populations in the world. The German culture - music, art, literature, philosophy, etc. was unrivaled in Europe. The German leaders of the Nazi party were normal bureaucrats who were swayed by the lure of Hitler and his nearly hypnotic ability to lure the masses. Germany had crippling reparations forced upon them by the Treaty of Versailles. Anti-semitism was rampant throughout Europe and the United States, a country who send send a ship full of Jewish refugees back to their deaths in Europe in 1939. The Nazis were evil, but the threat that they represented is always simmering below the surface, throughout the world. Rwanda, Bosnia; the ethnic cleansing of the Rohynga in Myanmar; Ukraine, etc. It just so happened that Germany was ripe for this movement. Most normal Germans were ignorant - not because they couldn't sense the evidence of the Nazi crimes, but because they chose to be. They looked away as the alternative was too horrible to fathom.
The extras used for the prison camp scene were a variety of cancer patients and people with eating disorders and other illnesses, fully understanding their roles.
There is an old 70's documentary by Thames called "World at War". Which has several episodes of the history of WWII. Most excellent. The final solution is covered in this and is very informative.
Highly recommended.
Episode always makes me cry regardless of how many times I watch it or watch reactions on it.
'Why We Fight' is the name of a series of films, directed by Frank Capra (It's a Wonderful Life) that the US Gov't commissioned to inform Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, & Marines of the history leading up to WW2. All of the members of Easy Co. would have seen it. Here is link to first film. th-cam.com/video/Mm3GsSWKyso/w-d-xo.html
I can't watch this episode without crying. I've seen the series at least a half-dozen times. It still just hits so hard.
As a child my grandfather told me a few stories of his experiences during the war. He was involved in liberating at least one camp that I know of but never talked about it. When I got older, watching this episode and Schindler's List made me understand why.
The only people on my ex-wife's father's' side of the family who got out of Austria was her father and his parents. All the other people in their family were murdered during the Holocaust. My stepson went on a tour of Germany and Poland and saw the camps firsthand.
You released the episode on day when there was a conference in Wansee about 80 years ago where Germans agreed how the Jewish question will be "answered"
Hello, young lady. I have very much enjoyed watching your reactions and listening to your comments during this excellent series. This episode especially, which is the most difficult in many ways, really showed your compassionate heart and soul. I am an old Australian bloke whose Dad fought in World War 2 though mainly in the Pacific theatre of operations. He was an RAAF pilot. Anyhow, thank you for your wonderful presentations and God Bless You. Cheers 🤠🙏🌹
I watched many of your reaction videos and need to say this to you and i hope you take it as it's meant to be taken.
I believe that emotions need to be used to make this world a better place. With that, never feel bad for expressing your emotions and anyone that gives you a hard time for showing your emotions and or even cry I say let it happen and be proud of it. To have the heart to fall into a movie and have the Fantasy or will to express yourself with tears is about the most beautiful things you can do. If you watch a movie that brings a smile to your face or tears flow from your eyes, simply put be proud of each emotion you share with us and stop apologizing for being human. You have a great heart, no longer say you're sorry for crying on camera.
I've watched all of these. I don't usually like bloggers, vloggers etc but you've handled this entire series with nothing but the utmost respect. My grandfather fought on D Day and then later in Holland, he was 18 when he signed up and within a year he was storming the beaches with the British forces. My great grandfather was wounded at Gallipoli in WW1. These events hold a certain resonance with me, as does this series. Thank you.
My friends grandfather was a member of the famed 442nd and was part of the men that helped liberate Dachau. I remember sitting with the family watching this episode and he had to get up and go to the kitchen. I followed to make sure he was alright and I saw the man pour himself a drink.... and this was from a man that had lived clean for as long as I had known him. he sat at the kitchen table and started to cry. he said he could hear the pebbles under his feet and smell the camp, even after decades removed.
Thank you for getting through this amazing series, and thank you for letting us get to know you a little better. Stay well
Back in the 1960s my dad worked with an Army vet who had taken part in liberating one of the camps. All the vet would say was it was you just couldn't believe people would do that to other people.
I love that it was Tom Hanks executing the prisoners.
Here's a slight correction in perspective: The Nazis weren't exterminating people due to religion. The Jewish *people* were targeted (as in the Ashkenazi, Mitzrahi, Sephardic are examples of Jewish subgroups). Like the Polish and the Slavs were targeted just as ferociously as the Jews were. The religion of Judaism was given to them has the ancient Jews didn't bother naming their religion, and the name other groups gave them simply stuck over time. Just like Christianity/"Christianus" was a initial an insulting name given to the followers of Christ during the Roman era.
The Nazis murdered after Jews on racial grounds, not religious ones. Jews who had converted to Christianity, even Christian clergy born Jewish were killed. They also killed quite a few Christians who had one Jewish parent.
Smaller Jewish groups suffered too.
Italic and Romaniote Jews were all but wiped out. Krymchaks (Rabbinic Jewish Tatars) were almost wiped out between the Holocaust and Stalin deporting them along with the Tatars, who had sided with the Nazis. Karaylar (Karaite Tatars) were killed in Lithuania and Poland, but not in Crimea. Subbotniks (Judaizing Christian Slavs and some Slavic converts to Judaism) were killed. It's complicated.
"You're ok. You're ok."
That guy was probably the only member of his family left alive.
Most of these guys were in the early to mid 20's, I can't even imagine what it was like to find something like this. It would haunt me.
6:32 I was surprised to see this shot when I first saw the series. The western side of Schloss Neuschwanstein (Crazy Ludwig's Castle) is hardly ever seen. Most views are from the Southeast looking West Northwest. If you go by the timeline, this was probably when the Monuments Men found all the looted treasure there.
Do *not* ever be sorry for showing emotion at scenes like these! The people to worry about are the ones who don't cry from empathy - I've watched this series a lot of times and this point always has me in tears. Adding to my own reaction to what is depicted here is the knowledge that my grandfather saw it with his own eyes; he was a Desert Rat and they were involved in the 'liberation' of Belsen. To think that that kind old man, of whose blood I am, was witness to this sort of thing, breaks my heart even more.
the song they were singing, "Blood on the risers" is a paratrooper song. In training the tell you all the things that can go wrong with you're chute, someone or a group took that and made it a song. The song details the jump of a recruit on his first jump where everything that could go wrong, does. His chute doesn't deploy, his reserve chute comes out but wraps around his legs, and he hurdles to the ground. You hear the chorus, where they state he ain't gonna jump no more, gory gory what a helluva way to die. I see it as a way to comes to terms with what they are doing and the risk of.
FYI, one of the two soldiers executing the Germans at 7:23 is none other than Tom Hanks himself making a cameo.
BOOM! Caught this during a break while forging knives. Your reactions are epic.
The letters of girls back home breaking up with soldiers became known as Dear John letters because it was so common. There was no communication back then, only mail that could take months to deliver a single letter. As Frank said, they had been gone over two years. Very hard to keep the "home fires" burning under those circumstances.
You never have to apologize for having feelings and showing them.
This the hardest episode, I have watched many people react to this serie the change in their face and the tears when they see the camp gets me every time. Your reaction was very heartfelt and real, I cried for you.
I have been to Auschwitz and it’s something that you never forget.
The scale of it I still can’t comprehend.
What went on I still can’t comprehend.
This episode portrays some of this in a small way.
Loved your channel! And loved you watching Band of Brothers, best miniseries ever!
9:20 not speaking German, it's Serbo-Croatian. "Help him please, he's still alive"
the song they sing at 06:30, is called Blood Upon the Risers, it's a marching chant from the 101st Airborne Division
Another terrific review .. .. BELATED HAPPY NEW YEAR too!! A fascinating, haunting movie about the pre-Holocaust days was HBOs CONSPIRACY >>> It was one of their first in-house movies and had an ALL-STAR cast (Kenneth Branagh, Stanley Tucci, Colin Firth, Tom Hiddleston, etc.) on how the final solution was planned .. .. A fascinating aspect of that dreadful meeting was the only person to object (initially) to the plan was Hitler's lawyer .. ..
The White Buses trip (Hvite Busser) instantly came to mind when I watched this episode.
Auschwitz and Sachsenhausen, I mean, I was 14, couldn't really grasp the concept back then. Watching this episode in my 20s really drove it home.
thanks for reacting ^^ I appreciate your reactions, your personality makes you seem like a really nice person ^^
You know it is great that you are watching this and doing reactions Centane, I give you props. To many people today don't realize what was fought for and what true tyranny will become. It's a harsh reality that we all have to be vigilant in recognizing the signs of it happening again and stopping it in advance. I have always said Band of Brothers is one of the best depictions of what we are thankful for in our daily lives, these men and women gave us the ability live the way we want. Props and great reaction, very honest. Always tears me up as well.
You should see “Hacksaw Ridge”, I think it will be interesting to see you react at this movie.
Very appropriate title for this episode
Great reaction. What you said at the end, that's why I started watching Band of Brothers in the first place. Whilst I definitely do have my own problems, I have a roof over my head, I am warm and fed and no one is trying to torture or murder myself or my family and friends. Makes me feel so incredibly lucky.
I must've seen this episode a dozen times. I don't normally get emotional about TV or films, but this never fails to move me.
I understand that a lot of the camp inmates were played by cancer patients. Many didn't have long left, but wanted to give some of their precious few days to something important.
You did a very nice job with this episode.
Just found you as a reaction... Most certainly the most honest and respectful reaction to this episode I've seen...
I agree that this episode should be shown in every school in the world to educate idiots who don't appreciate the lives they have
When I first saw this episode and saw the camp I was sad for a few seconds… that sorrow was then immediately consumed by rage at what had been done to them.
I just realised how simple man i am. I see a woman that likes band of brothers, i fall in love with her imidiately :D You are the first woman I know that seen these mini series and liked it. Many men have cried during these scenes (camp was the hardest for me). We need to remind ourselves of the past so we won't do those horrible things in the future.
That is a heavy episode. Visiting Auschwitz is a life goal Id like to fulfill one day, to see and feel the depths of what happened there.
9:20 that wasn't German but one of the slavic languages: Polish, Tsjech, one of those.
That naked guy was Tom Hardy.
My dad was REALLY here ...... April 1945 Buchenwald liberation..... what you see on the show doesn't hold a candle to what he experienced. And he was only 2 months past his 20th birthday.
That song they sang at the beginning is called Blood Upon the Risers or Blood on the Risers. Its the Airborne theme song that is still sung in the 82nd Airborne today. Im not sure about the 101st because I hadnt asked any of my buddies who were in that unit because they are not Airborne anymore and are now Air Assault. They are still doing a dangerous job of deploying behind enemy lines but they are repelling out of Helicopters now instead of jumping out of a perfectly good Airplane with a parashoot made by the cheapest bidder like the 82nd.
You did a beautiful job dear on a very difficult episode.went to Auschwitz,a long time ago, only way I can describe it is that it completely shattered me.thank you for posting this.
This is something everyone needs to see. It’s hard but necessary to remember.
Well done, it's a tough episode to watch - always! Greetings from Finland, keep up the good work! :-)
Schindler's list flashbacks....
So one else might have mentioned it but there was a Dear John Law in WW2 , the spouse could not files the divorce papers until the solider was home .
Powerful episode really hits you in the feels ❤️🙏
Yep they had to regulate a lot of the food and water. Many of them did over eat and die , many also died from disease etc afterwards even after liberation
This is the hardest episode to watch, but it's so necessary for undestanding our history...
Nice reaction Centane! Also great reaction and that's a cool mix you are that's awesome hehe.😉
You don't need to say how you feel. It shows. Every time I have seen this scene I tear up. It is unavoidable if you are human not to feel.
You have one more to go. Thank you for letting me see this through your eyes!
At 9:20 the subtitles say the prisoner with the old guy in his arms is speaking German. He most definitely isn't. He's speaking some Slavic language, as far as I can tell it's Croatian. Definitely not German though.
He's saying "Help! Please help! He's still alive!"
in this clip, and in the full uncut scene he's saying
"People! Help! Please help! He's still alive! You can still save him! Please!" and then they start giving him water and he says "Water. Yes, give him water."
Yep it's Croatian
And everybody always misses the fact that that's Tom Hardy being naked
