You’re one of the only reaction channels that already understood so early that Sobel made for a much better training officer/leader than a combat officer. Lots of people just don’t like him outright but you understood his contribution in forging Easy Company into a tight well oiled fighting unit.
To a point you are correct, however he does take it too far, it was the Winters and the NCOs that took it upon themselves to overcome him.
@@tommyw9754 Many of the men of Easy credited Sobel with their survival after the fact, saying that if he hadn't been as hard on them as he had been they wouldn't have done as well as they did.
@@Tensen01 really? I never heard that. Thanks for telling me!
The extra hardness of his training did help them, just thank god he was relieved before actual combat lol
The Drill Sargent's main goal is to form a fighting soldier to defeat the enemy. They sometimes have to be "the enemy" to form that bond.
On Veteran’s Day of all days, this feels like a true “Thank you for your service.” Your insight, intuition and respect of the circumstances of the show and how it relates to real life is incredible and we veterans appreciate it. Proof to all the incoming military know-it-alls that will fill up this comment section you don’t have to serve in the military to understand and appreciate the service and sacrifice. Respect, bro! Thank you.
This was my first official HBO series! I watched this as a kid as soon as I was old enough, rented the DVDs from the library! Good times!
Arguably the greatest series ever! You will 100% cry during this series, more than once.
Not just based on true stories - but the men speaking on each episode intro are the ones portrayed in the show. Wait until the last episode to know who's who. :)
Guarniere is the easiest to spot.
Somewhat interesting fact - the weather report that delayed the jump came from a weather station at Black Sod Bay, which is at a lighthouse at the bottom of the Belmullet peninsula in Mayo, west coast of Ireland. That is where my family are from. That one report likely shaped history.
This series is having the correct effect on you. Or you have the right type of mindset to be able to see it for what it is and how it was intended. Excellent story telling from start to finish. Keep up the good work bro!
Appreciate the love my brother ❤️
•I had the honor to interviewing WWII vets from my church. Both of them are now with God. This series is also my family's Memorial Day tradition.
•Yep, the true story of E Company, 506th Regiment, 101st Airborne Division, US Army.
•It comes from the St. Crispin's Day Speech from Shakespeare's Henry V. "But we in it shall be remembered. We few, we happy few, we band of brothers, for he today who sheds his blood with me shall be my brother."
•Well some of the same people who worked on Saving Private Ryan worked on this.
•Currahee is a corruption of a Cherokee word, meaning, "We stand alone." It's the regimental motto and the name of the small mountain they have to hike up in their training. 3 miles up, 3 miles down.
•Weighs as much as they do and then some. Also, people should never run with their phones.
•The men of Easy acknowledged that Sobel's training, while rough, is what got them to the end of the war.
•Note that those other three men did not have to run Currahee; they did it because they're a band of brothers.
•The Army.
•Paratroopers were still relatively new to warfare.
•To refuse an order is called insubordination, which is one of the three worst crimes a soldier can commit, next to mutiny and desertion.
•He had respect?
•The award for best plane goes to the P-51 Mustang, so USA! USA! USA!
•The one that goes ding is the M1 Garand and yes, it is fun to hear. My brother and I both have one, which we use for hog hunting.
•Unrelated to the prank.
•I recently had a guy berate me in the comment section of another reviewer of this series. He said that Sobel, being more interested in his own interests than his men's, is a terrible trainer. Sobel is a decent/effective trainer, but a terrible combat commander.
•$10,000 in 1944 = $465,724 today
•And off they go to liberate Europe.
There was this teacher of mine that once said: "History is made of tragedies with a lot of boredom in between them. We don't understand history if we don't understand both."
You don't understand how much you'll appreciate doing this show. Can't wait for the reactions. Buckle up.
About the guys that contributed to this series... That actor that plays the major that reasign Sobel is a Vietnam veteran and retired captain in the US marine corps, Dale Dye. He was the military advisor for he series. The actors went through a very realistic boot camp, trained by ex military in the ways of WWII US rangers methods of the time.
@Gerald H Right! 👍
We're all here to watch him go mental on Episode 7. Ya'll know why.
6,7,9
Firstly, say no more. Secondly, SUPER AGREE!!!
This might be the most accurate WW2 show ever. The actors met the actual men they were playing and had deep conversations with them. Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg were executed producer. There’s a book by one the the men and there’s a podcast on Spotify. One of the best show.
The show was actually based on the book by Stephen Ambrose, a historian. Several of the individuals wrote books. Winters, Webster, Babe and Guarnere.
I hope that after this you'll watch the Pacific too :) these two are the best series
I'd throw in Generation Kill and Chernobyl as well ;) +1000 for The Pacific
Yes!!
The Pacific was amazing. I watched it first. About to finish BoB.
Ridicule me if you will but i found the pacific boring as hell and never finished, but band of brothers was amazing.
I love how you reacted to this episode. How you understood and respected the men and had such knowledge. It was amazing to watch. I can’t wait for you to continue watching. You’ll get attached to the people and get very emotional throughout the series.
You’ll have to watch we stand alone documentary after with all the interviews of the verterans at the start.
It’s an honour mate to have you on this channel with me, thank you for the love ❤️
“Ketchup with spaghetti who has that?” Filipinos, loudly and proudly. With hotdogs too.
Nice subtle shoutout to Brandon Likes Movies lol
After Band of Brothers you gotta watch the other series called The Pacific!
Who had the best planes? Depends what point in the war. The British, the Germans, and the Americans all built fighters that would have been considered “best” at various points of the war.
Good to see you react to this fine series. These men were considered legends to us all that came after.
Salutes are different for every country. Our thumbs are tucked up flat against the index finger and the hand is straight from elbow to finger tip. Other's tilt the hand differently, put their thumbs differently. They march in formation differently.
Also, in case no one told you, the men in the interviews are the actual men from Easy company. This is their real life story but they won't reveal who's who until the last episode.
Great reaction mate, no hiding your empathy and with this episode you're getting eased in gently. Strap yourself in for a wild ride. Best series ever made
Can’t wait!! Appreciate the love mate ❤️
I knew some of the guys I served with better than my own brothers and didn't experience a fraction of what these guys went through. Once you finish the series check out Ron Livingstone's video diaries great behind the scenes view
I always love movies and series that do total immersion, especially when most of the scenes are shot on location and it's like a cameraman went back in time and just followed people in day to day life. Like there's no stylized fantasy shots or even a direct narrative with a lot of plot devices.
This is an incredible series. Absolutely worth watching
You better be on this journey mate, appreciate you ❤️
"From this day to the ending of the world, But we in it shall be remembered - We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; For he to-day that sheds his blood with me Shall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile" Henry V., Shakespeare
I'm glad you finally are watching this. This is an amazing series about real life heroes. I dare to ask you that after you finish the series to watch the interviews to the real guys, many o fthem were alive by the time of production, including mr. Winters. Thanks for sharing!
Get on this Ash it gets better an better as each episode carrys on. As for your reaction this is definitely one series for you 🙏🏼
YES! Oh, boy, are you in for a ride. This has got to be one of the best series ever made, and I think it's great you're getting into it. And yes, this is a dramatization of what actually happened. Easy Company, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division, was (I believe) the most decorated American unit in the European theater of operations, which was why Ambrose, the author of the book that this series was based on, chose to write about them.
Trivia: Four out of five volunteers for the paratroopers either weren't accepted into training or were washed out during training. Those who did become paratroopers were thus the cream of the crop.
Trivia: Private Ryan (from the movie) was from the 101st Airborne, as were the guys with him to protect the bridge at Ramelle. Gives a whole new meaning to his reluctance to leave his brothers, I'm sure.
1:09 USD 100 in 1942 is roughly equivalent to USD 1,700 today.
5:20 The kind of head games Sobel played are similar to the head games trainers of elite military units today play on their trainees. it's done because the results pay off, for those who do pass.
10:30 In reality, Sobel had Winters up for court martial twice. The second time around was when the higher ups decided that enough was enough.
13:40 If a paratrooper carried all of their equipment on their body (around 40 - 55 kgs., depending on their function - e.g. infantryman, radioman, demolitions), they would likely have broken their legs when they landed. This was why most of their equipment was carried in leg bags (if you played the original Call of Duty, you'll know what this is, from the first actual mission in that game) that were connected to the paratrooper with rope. This will come into play in the next episode.
Great reaction! I'm sure you won't find it difficult to watch the entire series.
When I trained 15k was our training weight. We carried an average of 36k in reality. I went thru US Airborne training at Ft. Benning Georgia (where Camp McCall still is) with the 101st Airborne, a little more than 20 years after the end of WWII. The Jump school training was very different, physical yes but mostly technical, about three weeks in length. For me, the much tougher Infantry training came later.
On the Allied side, the question of planes depends on when in the war you're talking. RAF had been at war for a couple of years by the time the US got involved. But later it was just about having the industry.
This series will have a profound impact on your pysche. You will never forget the names of these men for the rest of your life.
If sobel had the situational awareness and a solid grasp of military tactics his men would have followed him into hell. But he didn't so they won't: P.S
I believe this is the best portrayal of what our boys faced that I've seen on film. What it can't do is make you understand the fear. Showing someone a picture of hell and able to feel the heat against your face are very different.
I've never seen Ash this serious. This serie demands all our respect, good job again.
The scenes in the English village were shot in Hambleden, Buckinghamshire (so it's no wonder it looks realistic). The airfield scenes were shot at North Weald Airfield in Essex, which was an operational airbase during WW2.
I'm so excited for this! It's crazy to think this mini-series came out ~20 years ago and is still one of the best today.
You're right, the show is exceptional. It's better than a documentary, IMO. While it's being performed by actors, _the men we are seeing interviewed are the very men being portrayed on the screen._ We are being taken back in time.
Some might point out that it's not 100% accurate. And yet, even if the events happened yesterday, we wouldn't have 100% accuracy, as everyone's perceptions are different. But this may be as close as we're going to get portrayed on screen. These are the experiences of these men, as they experienced it and remember it.
The vast majority of the series was filmed in the UK and why a lot of the cast were British actors as well
If ya'll remember that Ross wasn't there when Chandler proposed to Monica, well...this is why, XD!
Very good commentary. I am looking forward to you watching the rest of the series. Yes the story follows one company from the start of the war, to the end. The men at the start of the show are the real surviving members of the company at the time of filming. Also a few side notes, the training was so tough that only 10% of the men who volunteer for paratrooper trainer actually made to become paratroopers (to get the jump wings that they were all so proud of).
Regular army pay for the time was 50 dollars a month paratroopers got paid 100 per month. (it was literally called blood money, because the army estimated that 90% of paratroopers would be killed) and yet these men volunteer anyway.
All who served deserve to be honored. These men and others like them above all. I look forward to your reactions to the rest of the series.
man your in for such a ride this is possibly one the best series to ever grace our TV screens cant wait to join you on your journey.
Just for context/clarification on the money: $100 back in 1942 is equivalent to $1683 ( £1,259.47) today.
Brother I've been a sub for about a month now and LOVE your reactions. As A 15yr Army Vet this reaction and you RESPECT actually bought tears to my eyes. Thankyou mate cant wait to see the rest..... Also seriously love the Stash :) hahahaha
The title to the series comes from Shakespeare, a famous monologue called the Saint Crispin Day Speech from Henry V. The whole thing is very long, but the except that has the line is:
"And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be rememberèd-
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition"
Great reaction, looking forward to see you watch the rest of this show! 👌
Love the content and your commentary
Keep up the great work
so the 100$ bit in the intro part makes more sense when you realize that 100$ in 1942 has equivalent buying power after adjusting for inflation as 1,682$ nowadays
"From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered.
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he today that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whilst any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day."
William Shakespeare
Love this show, thanks for the reaction ash!
Great time to start this, at Remembrance Day (Veterans Day in the USA). I don't know, but you might have missed recognizing Simon Pegg who appeared a couple of times in this episode next to Sobel. Plus there are a few more Brits in main roles in this, especially Damian Lewis/Winters and others that I wouldn't want to spoil yet. Damian Lewis' American accent is so good that you would forget that he's from London. Donnie Wahlberg is also outstanding in this as Sergeant Lipton. I watched a TON of television growing up through the 70s and 80s, but this is the best television I have ever seen. It's like 10 'Saving Private Ryans' but even better.
"Mate, you are going to cry" Good one. I imagine you will. I do. Every time I watch it.
Most profound series I’ve ever watched.
Emma you better finish this series with me, thank you for watching you legend
@@justtrustash of course! May sound dramatic, but prepare to have your life changed.
Bro don't slow down, keep watching because it gets better and better!! The best war movie/series i have ever watched!!
I literally just fist pumped when I saw this on my feed. So happy to see you watch this series
My friend, this only gets more intense as it goes. This episode is like the calm before the storm.
Can't wait for you to get all the way through, all 10 parts together are just unbeatable.
Aw I like your comments for Sobel, it’s so accurate
This is the shit! This miniseries was made for my homeboy Ash and he'll be weeping like little girl throughout the series! Never seen anyone being so excited about the part one. We're in for a great treat here!
I hope you'll do The Pacific afterwards. The Masters of the Air, third WW2 miniseries from Spielberg/Hanks is currently being filmed in UK for AppleTV+.
You left out “You’ve done it now yanks, you’ve captured me” lol
Romantic movies were the popular movies of that time. They were watching movies that reminded them of their life before joining up. My gpa loved all of those old school movies
My pop pop was a paratrooper in WWII, this series brings back a lot of memories of him....thank you for sharing with us.
History becomes more interesting with age. As we get older our experiences give us perspective. At 45 I'm looking back to the 70's and 80's and the world is so different in some ways, and very much the same in other ways. And that perspective allows a person to appreciate the world through time. History then means more, because you can gain from that information and apply it to the future.
if i remember correctly "Currahee" is from Cherokee and it suppose to mean "we stand alone" its a motto the 506th Infantry Regiment
Ohhh appreciate you my brother, thank you for this 😊
Love the show and your reaction. Can't wait for the second episode!
It's a brilliant series, looking forward to your reactions, and yeh, the guy in the comment section that said you were gonna cry, is bang on the money.
From a army veteran thanks for doing the reaction on veterans day.
Amazing series man been waiting for this one
I usually skip the reactors talk and just enjoy the actual reaction but you have articulated such a respect that i commend you sir.
So glad you're watching this series. By the end of it will change or build your outlook on life for the better I swear it's that profound. Also once you're done you have to watch the 2nd series The Pacific.
After this show another good one set in the same time is Pacific, U.S. Marines fighting the Japanese during WW2.
Rendering a salute in the US Military requires your thumb along side the edge of your hand (not tucked into the palm), raise your hand to edge of your eyebrow, slightly tilted down, elbow out close to a right angle from your body. Anything else and you’ll get smoked. Saluting conveys the message that “I am armed.” Served for 12 years as an infantryman in the Army. Used to carry a 40mm grenade launcher mounted underneath a rifle. Loved that rifle more than my ex-wife.
Fun fact since you mentioned COD Big Red One, several actors from Band of Brothers voice characters in that game.
Great show, and I can already see the respect and reverence you have for it - it's definitely well deserved. Think I'll have to jump on patreon for this one!
In terms of Sobel, there's a famous warrior motto (that Leonidas says to his son in 300): "The more you sweat in training, the less you'll bleed in battle". Sobel was an exceptional trainer, he definitely sweated these men. In the BoB book, it talks about how when Easy company went on to the next training camp, they were actually fitter than the instructors.
The Major is also an excellent leader - he punishes the rebellion to restore disclipline (but in a way that doesn't compromise their combat effectiveness) and also retasks Sobel to take advantage of his strengths. Hats off to the man.
For airpower - A Luffwaffe general was asked by Goering what he needed to win the Battle of Britain, and he replied "A squadron of Spitfires" which didn't go down well at all. Of course, the general actually said that just because he was annoyed at what he saw as bad management :D. As usual, in the real world which plane (or any equipment) was "better" depended greatly on your point of view.
The 1940s style definitely suits you, btw!
Spitfire was best early in the war, but I think the P-51 topped it when it came out
This is gonna be awsome..! You'll about to embark on an epic journey..! 😁
you are one of my favorite reactors but i mainly like watching reactions to War movies. This is my favorite movie / series and I am so excited for you to react to the rest of this amazing legendary series.
This is going to be a great series. I cant wait for these videos.
3 big name actors who were not known at that time have small roles. Tom Hardy, Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy.
Ash my man... as a military man myself this has been the ONLY TV series along with the Pacific TV series that have surpassed spartacus as my all time favourite TV series of all time.. younhave chosen wisely my friend
Honour to have you on this journey brother, thank you for the love ❤️
@@justtrustash thanks you, I shall be promoting your channel to the new spartcaus Liam Mcintyre and ashur played by nick harabay at comic con next weekend when I go to see them
Love your reviews, Ash. You close to a mill dubs yet? Oughta be.
Citizen soldiers bond is just so much more intense than professional career soldiery. They were there for a greater altruistic reason more than professionals as the money isn't there. All they had were each other, and defending their families.
I haven't seen Band of Brothers, so I'm watching it with you for the first time
“The Eyes of the world are upon you”
WW2 soldiers Basically saved the world.
Love this series! It's absolutely amazing.
My grandfather was 82nd airborne during ww2 and he said the gear was close to bout 100 pounds
The shaved Mohawks were the Filthy Thirteen. I can't believe I missed this. That division is legendary. Led by Jake "McNasty" McNiece, never given the recognition because he was just simply too badass to follow orders and just wanted to fuck shit up.
A few other suggestions for your list, bro:
Altered Carbon (Series)
Constantine (Keanu Reeves)
League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (Sean Connery)
Keep doing what you're doing! Almost 25K!!
They are running up Mount Currahee. "Currahee" is a native word which allegedly means, "We stand alone together." It's probably BS, but it makes a good motivator for people who didn't get out of high school.
Yer in now, looking forward to the rest of the series.
And still cpt. Sobel did a good job creating a solid Easy Company. 😎
Speaking of Tom Hardy - he plays a US soldier in this series. Oh, and Simon Pegg too!
Currahee was the hill they are running up, and the name of the training base. Sorry in advance to comment again so soon, but be sure there will be a lot of experts commenting about your doubts... and mine! :D
Just finished, I liked and Subscribed just for this series! All True life with minor changes. I highly recommend the the "We Stand Alone Together" Documentary that expands the interviews at the beginning of these episodes
This is such a strong reaction choice!
If love to see you do a rewatch with Hannah at some point too pllllleeeeaaaee
14:35 Lmao, I remember watching The Notebook with my squad after a long as fuck day in Afghanistan 🤣😅
Paratroopers are a special breed they are the double volunteers..... Volunteer to serve, volunteer to jump.
Our job is to exit a perfectly fine aircraft behind enemy lines with nothing but the gear that we can carry with us, Then disrupt and destroy and survive long enough to fight our way back to our lines or wait for the ground advance to reach us As we defend isolated key terrain. HOOAH.
Best show ever made.
So glad you're watching this series probably the best series to come out of HBO can't wait for more.
Better finish this journey with my brother, mad love to you ❤️
Yess!! My favorite show!!
Let’s goooo!! You better finish it with me mate ❤️
Also note the men talking at the beginning of each episode are they actual men in that Easy Company!!
That Brandon shout-out. I'm dead
This series is amazing, and the actors do a fantastic job portraying these brave men. Sadly they've all passed on now but the world would be a much different place if it weren't for what they helped accomplish.
