Easy Company is the most ironic name in military history. From D-DAY all the way to Hitler's Eagle's Nest, there was nothing Easy about it. I never want things I love to end, but you want the pain to end for these Men, and the peace to begin. The German Field Marshall's speech is actually what ties the entire concept of of the series together unexpectedly...No matter what side you were on you were suffering. I implore you to see "We Stand Alone Together" and Ron Livingston's (Nixon) Bootcamp Diary. It makes you appreciate the series even more. "Were you a hero in the War Grandpa? Grandpa says no, but I served in a company of heroes" Near tears every time. Thank you so much for taking this journey... Currahee! ♠ Winters may be the best, and Nixon may be one of the most entertaining. But Spiers might be my favorite. Also you need see "The Fallen of World War 2" to get some perspective on the scale of this tragedy.
Really enjoyed your reactions to this great series. I hope you will watch The Pacific, which is also a Spielberg-Hanks production. Very eye opening on the hell that was the Pacific theater.
If you do watch "The Pacific", try to find the version with the historical introductions narrated by Tom Hanks. Really help and add to the show. They're on TH-cam as well. Have a good one.
Like every episode of Band of Brothers, there are fictional elements, omissions, and embellishments in episode 10: 1) Berchtesgaden was captured in the afternoon of May 4, 1945 by the 7th Infantry Regiment of the 3rd Infantry Division with the French 2nd Armored Division arriving later that afternoon and the 101st arriving in the morning of May 5. 2) Members of the 7th Infantry Regiment and the French 2nd Armored Division claim to have reached the Eagle's Nest hours before members of the 101st, and many historians accept these claims (e.g., National WW2 Museum). 3) There is no evidence that members of Easy Company killed an unnamed commandant of unnamed concentration camp. What is shown in Band of Brothers is strikingly similar to the killing of Franz Ziereis who had been commandant of Mauthausen. Like the commandant in Band of Brothers, Franz Ziereis was hiding out in a mountain cabin when U.S. soldiers, who had been given a tip, went to the cabin to arrest him. Franz Ziereis was shot three times trying to escape.
Just starting and im hoping you leave in one facial expression by one character at one certain point. Its a wonderful 2 seconds and says so much... Will watch and get back to you

Glad you shared your journey with us.
Thanks for watching!
Great reactions, thanks! I really advise you to catch “Episode 11”, the documentary “We Stand Alone Together”. Puts a great finish on this epic.
Thank you! Will do!
Pleasure watching this reaction series, O'keefe Jr. 😎

Thank for watching! I’ll keep The Pacific in mind!

Ah .. you missed it out... It's the look nix gives winters after the sobel salute ...
My second favourite episode after number 7. Hopefully you can do the documentary that has all the interviews with the men that you see clips of
