In the ninth episode, Easy Company finally enters Germany in April 1945, finding very little resistance as they proceed. There they are impressed by the industriousness of the defeated locals and gain respect for their humanity.

Cutting scenes to get it posted is not a problem. As long as they were seen is more important. As to Hitler should have killed himself years earlier one has to ask if that would have made any difference. Someone just as evil or worse could have come up.
@@tsmartin Himmler, Goebbels, Mengele etc. where all just as bad or worse unfortunately and one of them would have taken over as Fuhrer.
Yeah when I was 7. . . MLes me weap every time.
Translation I speak a few languages. Liefgott breath of god sorry American phone doesn't know what an umlaut is. I he's ask how long have you been here. What was your crime and his reply is juden I'm a jew that's my crime my faith. 😢and Donald cheeto Trump tried the same to my country. And it's our fault. We have one-sided democracy were idiots. But friendly as fuck idiots. Be mice if we had world views education Healthcare got a shot ton of land what do we do with it build more guns. Give em away makes hungry homeless people richer greatest country on the planet since we INVITED NAZIS TO OUR CONTRY TO MAKE ROCKETS TO BEAT RUSSIA. CHRIST the planet need a extended history lesson. Here you.go Aussi girl Ben Franklin and Churchill said it slightly different same meaning. Thinking a senetor from Rome as well if I could remember
His name. For fun I'll say glutinous maximus. The quote those that fail to learn. From history are doomed to repeat it. And here we are again. Repeating bullshit blaming others not getting work do e letting your country and every country bun while we frack about doing nothing.
The toughest episode to watch, but, the most important. “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
General Eisenhower, the Supreme Allied Commander, instituted the standing order that all able-bodied civilians were to be forced, at gunpoint, to clean up the camps. To make certain they couldn't deny the crimes that had been committed in their names. For a lot of the German population, it was their first realization that they were the bad guys.
Because you can't reproduce real death on film, and pictures can never tell a story that all five of your senses experienced.
6MWE
Aww Babe Heffron! What a heartbreaking quote! 💔
Don't forget also those Jews who were tortured and used for scientific experiments!
Liebgot having to tell the prisoners they had to go back into the camp and him breaking down after, gets me every time I watch.
It is believed that this was the breaking point for Leibgott. He never attended an Easy Co. Reunion after the war. When a letter was sent out to Liebgott, his wife replied with "I will never forgive the Army for what they have done to my husband".
Utterly soul crushing! You can imagine how horrified he was by his own words and he just crumbled! 💔

_It is believed that this was the breaking point for Leibgott._
It never actually happened. The liberation and associated scenes are completely fictional (except for the civilians burying the dead) and were written for dramatic purposes. In reality, Easy Company played no role in the liberation of Kaufering IV (Hurlach). The camp was actually found and liberated on April 27, 1945 by the 12th Armored Division with units of the 101st arriving on April 28...but Easy Company wasn't one of them.
From the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum:
_As US armed forces approached the Kaufering complex in late April 1945, the SS began evacuating the camps, sending the prisoners on death marches in the direction of Dachau. Those inmates who could not keep up were often shot or beaten to death by the guards. At Kaufering IV, the SS set fire to the barracks killing hundreds of prisoners who were too ill or weak to move._
_When the 12th Armored Division and 101st Airborne Division arrived at Kaufering IV on April 27 and 28, respectively, the soldiers discovered some 500 dead inmates. In the days that followed, the US Army units ordered the local townspeople to bury the dead._
From the U.S. Army Airborne and Special Operations Museum:
_When the US Army’s 12th Armored Division and 101st Airborne Division arrived at Kaufering IV on April 27th and 28th, in that order, the Soldiers discovered some 500 dead prisoners. In the days that followed, the U.S. Army units ordered the local population to bury the dead._
@@82ndAbnVettbf easy company didn't actually discover a camp. It was another company in the 101s airborne who did.
In 1988 I was a US Navy Hospital Corpsman stationed at Naval Hospital Bethesda, near Washington DC (It is now Walter Reed Army Medical Center). One of my patients was a retired US Navy Captain. He had served over 30 years. He had throat cancer and required a tracheostomy to breathe. This caused him to lose the ability to speak. He communicated via a pad of paper. As an enlisted sailor protocol demanded I call him Sir. My raising REQUIRED I call him Sir. One day I walked into his room & said Good morning Sir! He got angry and wrote "Don't call me Sir! I don't deserve it!"
I reminded him of military protocol, I told him my grandmother would come down here and kick my a$$ if I called him anything but SIR. Then I pointed out the tattoo on his arm placed there by butchers. I said the tattoo earned the right to be called Sir for the rest of his days. You see I had noticed both he and his wife wore those numbers . He was 14 at end of the war, she was eleven. He was in Auschwitz and she was in Bergen Belson. They met after the war. Sole survivors of their families. By way of thanks he emigrated to the US and served his new country 34 years. This episode always makes me think of them.
Thank you for sharing your story!
That is such an incredible story! Thank you so much for sharing it and letting this brave man’s story live on!! How incredible that he chose to fight for his new home in America!!
@@MovieJoob I served 10 years in the US Navy as a Hospital Corpsman. 8 of those were with the US Marines. I have seen the insides of every race on the planet. It has always boggled my mind the amount of harm we can inflict on one another. Other than some pigmentation and beliefs, we are truly all the same. Perhaps one day we will find a better way.
I do miss when there was enough Holocaust survivors were alive to tell their stories to middle and high schools. I remember one back in middle school where he never got his tattoo. This was back in 1998. The Nazi's took him out of line and beat the crap out of him and essentially forgot to "mark" him. He said he was one of the few that never got "marked".
My grandfather was a medic in WWII. He fought from D-Day all through to the end of the war. He helped liberate one of the camps. In the mid 80’s there was a 60 Minutes story about people denying that the Holocaust ever happened. He started screaming at the tv, and then went outside to smoke. My mom (his daughter in law) was the only one to try to comfort him. He asked her to send me out to talk to him. I had just enlisted in the National Guard and was about to report to basic training. He told me about the camp with tears running down his face. He didn’t want me to either be one of those idiots denying it, or to not go into the army not knowing what could happen. Luckily for me I never had to deploy to battle.
The writing for this episode is brilliant.
It starts with the interviews with the vets. They note how similar they were to the German soldiers.
Then we see the behavior of Easy. We like Luz and Perconte but we feel concern for the girl in the barn. Winters, a good man, feels nothing about evicting a family from their home by force. Looting is a contest and Speirs seems to be winning. Nixon will break windows and break into houses to get a drink. French soldiers execute prisoners by the side of the road and the vets just shrug.
We have a kind of moral equivalence between the men of Easy and the Germans.
Then, in a heart beat the difference becomes clear.
Why We Fight was the title of a series of propaganda films made during the war by Frank Capra (It’s A Wonderful Life).
While Points was the deneument of the series, Why We Fight is the crescendo. Between Perco's conversation with O'Keefe and Webster's soliloquy on the truck, they perfectly set up the big reveal of the camp.
Winters said after he saw the camps, he stopped caring whether his men looted from the Germans. And the French soldiers are executing SS, possibly Charlemagne SS, which just about every Allied army had an unspoken policy of doing.
Bless your heart. Great reaction. My Dad was one of the soldiers over in Europe in 1944-1945. His platoon of 55 guys walked into the Battle of the Bulge on 12/25/1944, and 45 days later when they were pulled off the line, he was one of only five remaining unscathed that walked out. Then on March 24, 1945, he flew in a glider (CG-4A WACO) over the Rhine in Operation Varsity. He had PTSD issues the rest of his life, till he passed in 2021 at the age of 100. All of those guys had to live with the guilt of surviving, yet they came back from war and built the greatest country in the world. They deserve our respect.
My gods that is so heart breaking! I’m so sorry you dad experienced such horrors that he had to live with! I hope there was plenty of happiness too though! I’m sorry too that you lost him so recently! 💔❤️ Thank you for sharing his story!
build the greatest country in the world?USA? with 10 million killed native americans? with camps for native americans ?
I really enjoy your reactions, and as a vet i thank you for watch this amazing series.
Until 1945, the concentration camps were considered fake news, people did not believe the Jewish refugees coming out of Germany.
Allied leadership were also brought information and refused it because they couldn't believe the Germans were cable of what was being shown to them.
Yes I recently in my own time since watching this episode researched what the world did or didn’t know about what was happening to the Jews and understandably because of propaganda from WWI that they had all just recently been through that they were being sceptical and honestly fair enough, it’s a very hard thing to believe that something that cruel was actually happening!
@@MovieJoob I'm sorry your family had to endure this I have no words to express the sympathy I have.
That's not exactly true, I recommend reading about Pilecki and his report given to the allies. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Witold%27s_Report
I must have seen this episode 20 or 30 times and It makes me cry like a baby every time.
Same. I just can't handle the thoughts of what these poor people actually went through.
I do not blame you one bit! 😢💔
I bought the set Band of Brothers. The two episodes that bring me to tears are the Omaha beach and the concentration camp episodes. Moreso the latter one I watch the series at least twice a year and every time I cry at those two points. I think if anyone who watched the liberation of the camp and failed to be moved by its portrayal is missing something very vital.
_"Only the dead have seen the end of war."_
And when I hear people say things like this could never happen again, I'm reminded of two other quotes:
_"Those who cannot remember their past, are condemned to repeat it."_
and
_"History doesn't repeat itself, but it rhymes."_
"That's not Mozart, that's Beethoven" is a reference to a scene in Schindler's List (Spielberg worked on both productions) in which a SS soldier says something like "Who is that, Bach?" "No that's Mozart." It's a subtle hint about what the episode is going to be about.
There may also be something to be said how Mozart was from Austria, and Beethovan was from Germany.
Ahh I didn’t even pick up on that! That is so interesting!!
Also - the older woman in red coat helping to bury the bodies is a bookend to the young girl in red coat in Schindler’s List (both coats were the only real color in the scenes). The girl represents the innocent victims & the woman the guilty German adults.
Honestly the one of the most gut-wrenching scene in the whole movie. Showing that these Nazi soldiers were educated men, men who have families, men who know love. Yet they carried out these unspeakable horrors and atrocities and some even indulged in it.
Interesting. I always thought it was used to highlight the arc of Nixon, from a man educated in the classics at Yale to him stumbling around at his lowest.
It is a common misconception that we fought the war specifically because of the camps. There were rumors about such things and it’s possible the highest levels of command knew about them but for the troops on the ground they didn’t know about them until they stumbled upon them.
this episode hits me hard. both my grandparents were put into polish work camps and that's where they met. after they were liberated they moved to America and had 9 kids. the things they saw were terrible. my grandfather watched his father get executed in front of him. i am truly thankful to there liberators.
That is so nightmarish! I’m so glad they survived and lived safely with children in America once they were freed! ❤️
My cousins grandparents were part of the Polish Underground. Fought the nazis tooth and nail til they were finally driven out. Eventually migrated here to the States. Some of the most mellow people you could ever meet. Of course, they were that way because they'd already been through hell and back.
Oh, and babcia also made some of the best stuffed cabbage and pierogi too.
My mom's parents moved to Oklahoma after WW1 from Czechoslavakia. Had they stayed longer my entire family would likely not exist.
How can you call them polish camps?! These were Nazi camps in Poland not polish camps
The "concentration camp inmates" were cancer patients from nearby hospitals - and many were terminal - who volunteered to be in the series. The producers/director of BoB did > not < tell the cast what was going to happen at the concentration camp. The camp set was also equipped with rotting meat, and the nausea on the part of the actors was usually legitimate. Note that while the 101st Airborne did liberate the camp in question the real Easy Company was not involved. However, the producers felt (accurately) that a concentration camp liberation was important so used literary (cinematic?) license to have Easy Company do it.
_Note that while the 101st Airborne did liberate the camp in question the real Easy Company was not involved._
You are correct that Easy Company wasn't involved in the liberation but units of the 101st didn't actually arrive at Kaufering IV until the day after the camp was liberated by the 12th Armored Division. The 101st was recognized as a liberating unit by virtue of it arriving within 48 hours.
Episode 9 broke me like no other before, as you may know I’m also Jewish and I know very well what happened in the concentration camps because I have family members that died there, Hollywood needs to keep producing movies and shows related to the holocaust so new generations know what happened as well so history doesn’t repeat itself
Its maybe crazy to write you that, but as a german citizen, although half my ancestry where not german in the times we talk about, and the other ones lost there property as for not to be party members, I am really greatfull for you writing that about "so new generations know what happened as well so history doesn’t repeat itself". Not only in germany, but in all the world, but ofc especially in my home country to (as we do) we need to keep the knowledge loud and clear of what happens, even in all its hardness, crulity and unbelevable inhumanity, so that the people dont think of it as just 'some long gone wronge doing' but as a reminder what can happen by human failure of morality, of war and human evil.
@@Tarnatos14 well said my friend, thank you for your kind words, god bless you
Especially with some so brazenly trying to deny that those awful, evil acts against the Jewish people and so many others ever happened. To know that some of our countrymen would try to suggest that to be the case fills me with FURY.
@@sodasaintcommentaries4054 Yes and they even dont belive that themselfs, while they deny it there own extreme-righte-wing music bands celebrate the holocaust in there music, its just an absolutly awful act to provoke and spit on the graves of all who died there.
The scene with Liebgott telling them they have to go back into the camp gets me every time. The shot of him sitting down in the truck after making the announcement cuts right to the soul. After ALL he'd seen, that is the one thing that broke him down. An incredibly well acted, directed and produced episode.
So incredibly acted and directed/produced I totally agree!! That was utterly heart wrenching! 💔
My Grandfather was in the German Navy at the start of the war, Abord the KM Bismarck. He was then interred in a POW Camp in Nothern Ireland where he spent the rest of the war. When he returned home and was confronted by the news of the concentration camps, He went Immediately to the nearest one. Then he asked around in anger, disgust and no little amount of shame How it happened that they had this camp there and did Nothing. Thats when he learned about how the by 1940 Media and justice system were turned in to political tools of the state and if you did not like the camps you either stayed away or ended up in them, but you Never spoke out against them. By 1942 you were as afraid of your neighbors as you where the Police because even saying somthing as innocent as you questioned the war would see you and your family disappeared. He moved to America within a year of getting home. He would be degusted by the world today. By the narcissistic and nihilistic view of young people now who think they have it hard today in the West when there is so many clears and obvious historical Facts to show they are Dead Wrong.
He was very lucky to survive the sinking of the Bismarck and be picked up by the British
My Grandfather was one of those first soldiers in one of those camps. I remember years ago when he was still alive telling me how he saw Generals and battle hard top ranking officers with tears . And they did round up the towns people and made them give the remaining deceased bodies a proper burial. He also told me There was rumors of these camps during the war but seeing it was a shock and as he put it I hope you never have to see anything like that.
The Allied command knew from the aerial reconnaissance photos, but there's not much they could've really done.
I have a Jewish friend who lost all four of her grandparents in concentration camps. Fortunately they had sent their children to safety in the UK and America.
@@stefanlaskowski6660 it's just awful looking through the records. Thank god they got the kids out, and how awful that it was needed at all. We must remember them, and ensure that it never happens again.
"We who have seen war, will never stop seeing. In the silence of the night, we will always hear the screams." - Joe Galloway.
For a lot of us vets, things like this are what inspire us to sign on the dotted line, hoping that we will prevent the next attempt.
God bless, Joob. This year in Jerusalem.
Winters said he never knew such anger as he felt when he saw the camps. Nearly all Allied soldiers felt that anger.
I can only fathom the utter fury and disgust they would’ve felt!
I heard another veteran say they NEVER took another prisoner after they liberated the concentration camps. @@MovieJoob
As a german I can only imagine the disgust and shame my ancestors must have felt helping clean up the mustache mans mess. (Yes they wanted the jews MOVED not systematically murdered!)
For my part. History will NEVER be erased or forgotten. My 2 sons ( 15 and 11 years old ) have already watched and learned about this dark part of the human race. My daughter, the youngest in the family, is going to learn also when she gets a little bit older. They know the Truth and will spread it. It Shall never be forgotten. God Bless you, young lady, from Brazil. Shalom.
President Eisenhower (then General, Allied Supreme Commander) said to people who gathered in the square of a town outside of one of camps. "You all make me feel ashamed that my last is Eisenhower!" He grew up in Kansas grandson of German immigrants.
Take heart Jade, this was a rough episode but the next one will leave you smiling at the end, Always a great reaction
Actually the end of Episode 10 had me crying nearly as much as this one.
@@gregrtodd Happy tears though
Thank you so much for your kind words!!
Some years ago, a co-worker asked me whether I'd seen the series: "Band of Brothers". I had. He knew of my past service(Different time and war). He then asked if soldiers really became close as brothers, especially in combat. My reply: "Closer".
09:35 man carrying older man, he is speaking Serbian, he is saying "People help, please help, he is still alive, you can still save him"
Man I was just a kid when I first watched the series, to hear those words to understand them, while everything was subtitled.
I still get chills down my spine...
When you said "I didn't think they'd show this much" I almost screamed.
They didn't show close to enough, but they never could have got away with showing enough to really make people realise.
I've met a survivor of the camps, long enough after the events to talk about it but even then still not long enough to be over it because all of human history isn't long enough for that
When you said you like how unphased he is when Spears walks in on a soldier banging. Definitely realistic. I fought in the digital era. I was a driver at one point, 4 men to a room. So we tried to split the room into quarters but that didn't work since 1 quarter has the door. My gunner solved it by building a wooden cube in his quarter, I lived on his roof. Anyway, he's got his privacy cube, comes in one day, says "Headphones on, I need to rub one out." Two of us didn't say a word and put headphones on, went back to our movies. 3rd guy was appalled and left the room. Not everyone adapts. 😂
After this series, you ought to tackle the Pacific also produced with Tom Hanks, however, as intense as Band of Brothers is, I think it is even more so. A lot of people do not know very much about the US fighting the Japanese, their attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7,1941 being the catalyst for America entering the war, although the US was helping the allies before that. The branches of service that were most involved are the US Navy and US Marines.
I understand you being being hit so hard by this episode, Jade. I've seen it dozens of times and it still puts me away. I was born about 4 years after the war ended. In school, when we were old enough to understand, we were taught about the horrors of The Holocaust. It became my generations duty to teach our children so that none of us ever forget.
The moment that makes me tear up every time, without fail, is the prisoner mentioning the women's camp. Just imagining the same terror being inflicted against women breaks my heart all the more.
The people playing the inmates were cancer patients who volunteered because of the seriousness of the situation; some of which did not survive to see the finished series.
The cast were purposely kept from seeing the camp until the actual day of filming so the impact could be filmed in it's honesty.
The man carrying the inmate was asking for the Americans' to help him saying the man he was carrying was still alive.
I think it's safe to say that even us men have been reduced to tears watching this episode
Hi.
To answer your question : "How could they not know ?" Well, I've visited Dachau concentration camp near Munich, Germany several years ago and the tour guide explained it as follow :
1 - Camps were relatively far away from towns.
2 - The side of the camp that was facing the town had a tall brick (or concrete ?) wall that prevented people from seeing inside the camp. They knew something was there, as they could see rooftops and chimneys, but they couldn't see what was going on. To them, it was a simple work camp or factory.
3 - A lot of peoples nowadays tend to forget that it was a totalitarian regime, and that asking too many questions or knowing too much could easily get you arrested... and sent to desappear. So they basically lived with a mentality of "don't ask, don't tell". They did not want to know what was going on in there, so they did not ask questions.
I also visited the Terezin camp in the Czech Republic circa 2010 and it was basically the same thing... The town of Terezin was turned into a ghetto for Jews while the fortress was turned into a prison camp... No one could see inside the fortress as it was... well... a 1800s fortress entirely made of bricks, stones and concrete ! And the town itself was far into the Czech countryside.
The camp shown in Band of Brothers is Kaufering IV (Hurlach) which was one of eleven labor subcamps of Dachau located in the Landsberg (Bavaria) region of Germany known as the Kaufering complex. The prisoners worked in nearby underground factories and performed infrastructure repair (roads, rail lines, etc.). All the camps were located within few hundred yards of towns and villages and the prisoners were routinely march through those towns and villages. Contrary to what is shown in Band of Brothers, the camp was found and liberated by the 12th Armored Division on April 27, 1945 with units of the 101st arriving on April 28...Easy Company not being one of them. For dramatic purposes Easy Company is shown liberating the camp.
*From the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum:*
_With the intensification of the Allied air war against German industrial and military enterprises after 1943, the German Armaments Ministry and the SS agreed to accelerate construction of massive underground factories. For this they used large numbers of conscripted laborers and concentration camp prisoners. Hundreds of satellite camps attached to major concentration camps were established throughout the German Reich in 1944 and 1945. Inmates were forced to hollow out the sides of mountains or caves for immense systems of tunnels and factories that would be secure from Allied bombs. Those who survived these tasks were often used to build new weaponry, such as the Messerschmitt 262 (ME-262) jet-fighter or V-2 rockets._
_In Bavaria, two major camp systems, Mühldorf and Kaufering, were set up as subcamps of the Dachau concentration camp. Its inmates provided the labor necessary to build subterranean facilities for fighter aircraft production in the Landsberg area. The region was chosen in part because of its favorable geological composition for the construction of huge underground installations, which were to be insulated by 9 to 15 feet thick concrete walls._
_To house the concentration camp prisoners, the SS created camps near the proposed industrial sites. At the Kaufering and Mühldorf camps, prisoners often slept in poorly heated and badly provisioned earthen huts, which were partially submerged in the soil and covered with earth to disguise them from the air. The larger of Kaufering's 11 camps each contained several thousand prisoners, the vast majority of whom were Jews. Disease, malnutrition, and the brutal conditions in the workplace and in the camps took its toll on the inmates, resulting in a high mortality rate._
_As US armed forces approached the Kaufering complex in late April 1945, the SS began evacuating the camps, sending the prisoners on death marches in the direction of Dachau. Those inmates who could not keep up were often shot or beaten to death by the guards. At Kaufering IV, the SS set fire to the barracks killing hundreds of prisoners who were too ill or weak to move._
_When the 12th Armored Division and 101st Airborne Division arrived at Kaufering IV on April 27 and 28, respectively, the soldiers discovered some 500 dead inmates. In the days that followed, the US Army units ordered the local townspeople to bury the dead._
My great uncle (maternal grandmother's younger brother) was in the 90th infantry Division and landed on Utah beach in the afternoon of June 6th. At the end of the war, General Patton ordered every soldier under his command to tour the nearest camp. He did this because he predicted that in the future some people would deny that it happened and he wanted lots of eye witnesses. Uncle Alfred always really hated movies and TV shows like "Hogan's Heroes" that made the Nazis out to be comical rather than villains. My Mom and her cousins never understood why until, being a history buff, I pointed out that being in Patton's 3rd Army meant that he had walked through at least one camp like this at the end of the war. The 90th Division liberated the camp at Flossenbürg, near Prague in what is now the Czech Republic a week before the end of the war in Europe.
I can't watch this episode, or even reviews of it, without crying my eyes out. It's just horrendous what humans are capable of. It's so hard to watch, but it's so important to bear witness. I'm proud of you for making it through this.
Thank you so incredibly much! Completely agree with you there!
I think that was the lady who tried to make Nixon feel ashamed for stealing her brandy. But now SHE is the one who is ashamed. That's the point of seeing her having to clean up.
Ohh I thought it implied she might’ve been the one to warn the officers of this camp to flee!
@@MovieJoob I know this is a bit late, but, her husband would absolutely have known there was a camp near his town, if he wasn't directly involved in it.
The Day a Camp Surviver was at our school was so overwhelming. You know that all this happened but hearing it from a real person in front of you is so much harder. As a German I'm so disgusted of this part of history. I wish I had the chance to talk with my grandpa about this time as a adult. But he passed when I was 11 and that wasn't really things we were talking about.
Your such a caring person. Keep the way you are❤
There are basically two types of tears. Those like the ones you shared with this reaction and opposite kind. Episode 10. It is a crazy journey and you'll be very surprised where your emotions take you on that one. You done good lady.
As we say here in Texas; Y'all be safe.
Yeah this episode is always tough to watch. Don't matter how many times you watch it...
Great Reaction
Thank you so much! Very tough but very worth while!!
My Dad was in WW II and liberated a Camp. He said nearby villagers had to know, the camps could be smelled 2 miles away. He never ever talked about the war otherwise. At least not to us.
This one is so hard to watch but this episode allows us to always remember these events so that they won't be forgotten. Sorry to see you upset but thank you for sharing your feelings.
It was so worth it! It’s incredibly upsetting but it was so well done!
This was the roughest one, dear, but the most necessary. Sorry it affected you so, but you wouldn't be a feeling, human being if it didn't. I've seen it before, but I cried all over again with you watching it once again. Thank you for sharing your reaction with us. Never forget.
Aww thank you so much for your lovely and kind words!!
There is a movie with Stanley Tucci called “Conspiracy”, was released in the early 2000s. It documents the the Wannsee Conference. It is the scariest horror movie you’ll ever see and it never leaves a conference room...
When the man in the camp salutes Perconte, I cry every time. 😢
Omg utterly heartbreaking! To still have faith in humanity after what they’ve experienced. Miraculous.
Congratulations you have joined the ranks of those who can never unsee this scene
The backs of my eyelids will have these images at the ready 🫠
History is more complicated and convoluted then you might imagine...
A tough watch indeed, but a VERY important message to get out. We need to remember this atrocity ALWAYS. Well done on getting through it, Band of Brothers portrayed it perfectly for the horror it was.
Thank you so much! And yes I could hardly believe how raw and accurate they were portraying a small death camp like that. It was so well done!!
I love how people always say how important it is to never gorget (which it is!) but then ignore the current holocaust 2: Uyghur bogaloo in china.
This is a very good episode, no sugar-coating, straight into your guts, as it should be. The SS could not deny in any way their involvement, but it is also true that not every German was a Nazi.
I’m so used to sugar coating when it comes to popular shows or films depictions of the camps but they let it be raw and gut wrenching and I honestly appreciate it for that!!
THE most powerful episode from the series and THE reason why all of our Grandparents fought to save the world from Hitler.
Unfortunately, the US knew of these camps in the 30s, and turned away Jewish refugees quite a bit.
Sure it's powerful, but come on. They didn't fight because of the concentration camps. They didn't even know about these camps until very late in the war. They fought because they were told to and because all their friends wanted to go and fight.
The title of this episode never quite sat right with me.
@@HopemanGG In the US, and especially Russia, our grandfathers fought because our country was sneak attacked.
Also why we should do everything we can to make sure these horrors are not repeated.
@Angst-Traum that doesn't meaning labeling everything around you as "Nazi"
What made it worse for the prisoners when told to get back inside the camp, was that it was pretty much exactly what the nazis had initially been telling them. "Get in there, it's for your own good, we're here to help, etc.." So that explains their reaction at Liebgott's words.
No the Nazis didnt sayd "we're here to help", there either said nothing, or said there a race enemy of the german people, or criminals, or a burden to the race, ore there to be conductet into labour. But there was never an historical attempt to fool any prisioner of a concentration camp, be it a real concentration camp in germany itself, or an extintion camp in todays poland, into beliving "we're here to help you". If the nazis wher ehonest about something, than about that. They even stated it in puplic hearings, books, speeches etc. before there rise to power and after it.
1000% they must have feared that this army had the exact same intentions as the nazi army! It’s not like the anti-semitism or beliefs in eugenics was exclusive to Germany at the time. It would’ve been terrifying! But they hugged them and gave them water and I hope they felt they were in safer hands even if they couldn’t communicate the best!
_What made it worse for the prisoners when told to get back inside the camp_
In reality there were only about 7 prisoners found alive (2 died within a couple days) when the camp shown in Band of Brothers, Kaufering IV, was liberated by the 12th Armored Division.
The next episode is a gift after having your heart ripped out watching this one. Never Forget.💔💔💔
By 1945, the Allies did indeed have a substantial amount of information about the mass murders. The German concentration camp system already enjoyed considerable infamy even before the war. Subsequent revelations about the death camps in Poland were occasionally reported by outlets such as the New York Times since mid-1942. In fact, the Soviet liberation of Majdanek in July 1944 was widely-publicised in the international press. The thing was: few Westerners could begin to comprehend the scale or brutality of the killings without actually experiencing it. The liberation of the camps by the Western Allies therefore came as a great shock to many people.
It is believed that this was the breaking point for Leibgott. He never attended an Easy Co. Reunion after the war. When a letter was sent out to Liebgott, his wife replied with "I will never forgive the Army for what they have done to my husband".
This should be required watching for all high school students across the world. Never forget. Never let it happen again.
This episode is very important and I feel every generation of people should learn and understand what the Holocaust was and what it did to people because evil has no limits.
I've been watching Band of Brothers regularly for many years and this episode is the hardest to watch. Thank you for sharing your reaction, it made me feel like the first times I saw this episode.
All the world should be made to watch this movie and cry just like you did. Tears are wholesome and at times, even cleansing. Thank you, great reaction.
This episode always makes me tear up no matter how much I re watch this series. With liebgot being the translator, if you remember from episode 2 he mentions he is Jewish. Imagine what he was feeling and thinking when he had to translate the prisoners were mostly Jewish. Then having to tell them all they need to go back in.
I know! It’s why it hit so especially hard when he heard the man explain that they were mostly ‘Juden’ 💔 he must have felt absolute disbelief and terror!
My heart goes out to you and your family.
Aww thank you so much!
I went to church with a WWII veteran who was in the Army and his outfit liberated one of these camps. He never talked about it but did say it was the worst thing he ever saw
Awww I can’t imagine how haunting that would’ve been for him. 💔
“Harden and strengthen your hearts, for the horrors of man will rend and tear at your very souls before you are done.”
Dear Jade, I'm so thankful that part of your family escaped Europe in time, and that you are here with us today. My wife and I saw Dachau concentration camp in 2015. It was tiny, but packed with people. Unbelievable. My buddy Chuck was part of the occupation army in Germany in roughly 1950-1953. He told me that all the Germans knew what had happened.
Just don't know what to say your reaction has brought me to tears. I know you are one special woman . I know this is close to your heart but your reaction was just a pure human reaction
Aww thank you so very much Saul! ❤️
This is probably the most important episode of this series. The camp was called Kaufering IV, a sub camp of Dachau. It was actually liberated by a different unit, Easy Company arrived the day after. As a not so young soldier, I visited Belsen camp near Celle in Germany. A very strange place. When the British Army arrived, they brought the local population into the camp to see it for themselves. And then made them clean it up.
The reactions of the actors was so real because they had no idea of what was there until they did the scene.
Dear Jade. Band of Brother's shows the bravery and courage of so many who fought the great Evil of 1939 - 1945. You too dear lady have displayed courage in reviewing ESPECIALLY this episode given that the Evil of 1939 - 1945 touched your family so much. I think I cried more with you tonight than anyone in the past decade (spouse included). Throughout human history I would venture to say that most "wars" are such unnecessary screw ups...but WW2 in Europe HAD to be fought. As others have commented below...this series should be mandatory viewing in history classes...ESPECIALLY this episode. The good news is you are "over the hump". There are some teary moments in Ep10, but there is also a great payoff at the end. Be a peace.
Thank you so much Kent!! As hard as it was it was so worth while! It’s a brilliant show which displayed brilliant men who fought so hard and saved so many!!
Thank you again for sharing so much with us. I can't imagine what having knowledge that family of yours that suffered as they did must be like. I hope you got a huge hug after this. ❤
Aww thank you so incredibly much! I did! Especially cat cuddles! ❤️🤗
When you said you had elders in the camps, it broke my heart. My late wife and I visited the Sachsenhausen camp in Oranienburg in Germany. It sits at the end of a lovely little residential street. But at the end of that street, birds don’t sing. Even insects make no sound. It had all the horrors you would expect. But what made it worse was when they told us that this and other camps stayed in operation for another five years, operated by the Soviet Red Army. And that there are tens of thousands of camp victims buried on the grounds, all of whom died after the war.
Thanks, so many. The people who witnessed this is dying, and new generations has just forgot or ignored this and all make the same mistakes again. Thanks for remembering, thanks for sharing
No words can adequately convey the horrors of this magnitude. Evil exists in all corners, in differing ways until this earth ends. I thank you for your empathy, compassion & genuinely good heart. Look forward to episode 10 & hope you watch the Band of Brothers documentary which is often referred to as episode 11.
Thank you so very much for your beautiful words! I 100% plan to watch the ‘11th episode’
You nailed it. Man's inhumanity to man can be horrendous.
Humans can be so wonderful and gentle but also so vicious and cruel we are very complex creatures!
This is the best mini series ever made period. It should be mandatory viewing in high school. I have watched this series probably 20 times and that camp scene wrecks me every time
_It should be mandatory viewing in high school._
Large portions of Band of Brothers are fictional or inaccurate.
_and that camp scene wrecks me every time_
The camp depicted in Band of Brothers is Kaufering IV and except for the civilians burying the dead, everything else is completely fictional. Easy Company never liberated a concentration\labor camp.
Outstanding reaction videos 🏆 ❤ 🎥
Thank you for putting out the instagram information.... As a combat veteran, I've held off my praise and appreciation to your absolutely and utterly wonderful experience in witnessing the outstanding retelling of this series. ❤ 🇺🇸 🎥
I waited til you reacted to part nine.... I felt your tears..... Hopefully, you find the last part "Points" something worth smiling about.
Aww thank you so much for your kind words!! I really appreciate this!
As with the entire series, the final episode is done with sensitivity, class, and respect. You'll be so glad you stuck with it...😌
It’s definitely worth it 🙌 a brilliant show
You handled that just fine. I was crying with you trust me . I watch this series once every year. And 20 years later I still weep, when I watch this episode. You got through it though. Great work. 😊
Thank you so very much!!
Jade I could watch your reactions all day and I wouldn't be bored in the slightest. BTW I always feel a bit bad seeing you tear up, I would hold and comfort you and say everything will be fine so fine
Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoy them!! As sad as I get I am still very happy in my life that I am lucky enough to have and have a great support system around me! Thank you so much!
@@MovieJoob you are absolutely welcome. I will always be here and watch along, even if I happen to be a bit late due to a shift at work or whatever
I think everyone in schools across the world need to watch this episode, this is one of the roughest but most need episode.
_I think everyone in schools across the world need to watch this episode_
Only in a certain context. While it is emotional, the liberation and associated scenes are completely fictional (except for the civilians burying the dead...that really did happen at Kaufering IV).
When Eisenhower saw his first German Concentration Camp he turned to the Army reporters accompanying him and told them to start recording everything, "Because, somewhere down the line, some bastard is going to say this didn't happen..."
Thanks Jade for your reaction. Probably one of the better ones of BOB with you commenting on following the story......I bought a new DVD collection of BOB and i a great watch on a rainy day.....Best wishes from Brissie.
Aww thank you so much! Shoutout to you in Brissie from Sydney! 🙌
As they were making this they wanted to be as accurate as possible they wanted to tell the hole story not tone it down but show the raw humanity that this was
My late uncle helped liberate a place called Gunskirchen, a subcamp of Mauthausen in Austria. Over 50 years later he said that all he had to do was close his eyes and he could smell and see the place in his mind still.
Aww your poor Uncle! May he rest in peace!! 💔
Thank you for sharing yourself and this reaction 🤗 No words for that sadness. 🙏🙏
Thank you so much for being here with me on this journey!! It means so much to me ❤️🙌
There is a slight inaccuracy Easy Company didn't find the Camp another company did Easy came as a second wave of US troop to the camp but this was done for dramatic effect and judging by what some of the men have said they my aswell been the first.
I felt so much for you, my father was in WW2 and they saw one of the camps, he always said it was something he would never forget, he landed at Utah beach in 1944 and went through the battle of the bulge, he passed away in 1983 and never told me much about what he saw and did. My heart went out for you.
That's tough, and sad, but very worth for reflection about the world and about ourselves
Worth it 1000% 🙌
Your empathy is shared by many for this travesty. Honestly, more people should watch this recreation if for nothing else, that these people should be remembered, and not died in vain. Thank you for your heartfelt reaction, and caring comments.
What is shown in Band of Brothers is a fictionalized version of the liberation of Kaufering IV.
No matter how many times I watch this episode, no matter how many reactions to it I see, this episode always make cry.
I've seen DOZENS of reactions to this episode. Your reaction put me over the edge.
Awww Pat I’m so sorry! Thank you for joining me on this!!
As one of the previous commenters noted, high command probably knew something of the camps based on intelligence, but probably didn’t fully know the full extent. As for the troops on the ground, they most likely never knew or knew very little about these camps or the extent of the horrors until they came across the camps in person.
This is still an episode that I cry to myself. My grandfather saw Dachau in 1945 and was horrified about what he saw at the camp and the aftermath of the war with German children scavenging for food in the trash. He never told my dad or my aunts about what he saw. I didn’t know about him being there until relatively recently. I show my students this scene to remind them this is something we cannot let happen again (yes it still happens…and we still cannot prevent).
It's been enjoyable watching this series with you. I too will be sad to see it end.
I’m so upset the journey is almost over but I will definitely watch the documentary style episode with you all!
I'm a 59 year old USAF vet and watching you watch this broke me! What a world we live in and make no mistake this type of thing will happen again.
The Allies (including the Soviets) were getting reports about the concentration and death camps starting in 1941/42. However, it was believed the reports were exaggerated by people wanting the Allies to advance faster - so were disregarded until units started finding the camps.
Yes I researched a bit after this episode and found that especially due to the false news they experienced in WWI they were skeptical and unsure of what was true this time around and it seems like something impossible for humans to do especially on such a large scale so I can understand the disbelief!
Good job getting through a hard episode. כל הכבוד. (Subbed)
When you see something like this you never forget it. You in time forget most of the visual part. It's the smells, the stench you never forget. That is what really haunts you. And the sounds It surrounds you. The smells and sounds you never forget.
Hi Jade. I loved this reaction to what is one of the most important episodes in this show. After Schindlers List I knew that this would be a hard one for you.
Regarding feeding the survivors after liberation. There is a great British TV movie called Relief of Belsen. It is about figuring out how to properly feed the survivors.
Absolutely great reaction to the horror the soldiers found. I'm glad they made civilians tour and help clean up the "camp". I think Eisenhower ordered civilians into the camps because he said something like: later on some people are going to claim this never happened; we need witnesses.
You can see winter's face when they opened the train car doors to reveal what's inside. You can see he's extremely angry....
The set for the camp was constructed in secret and the cast didn't see it until they shot the scene. most of the inmates were played by cancer patients undergoing radiation and chemotherapy.
My sympathies Jade, regarding your grandparents. My paternal great-grandparents were Jews from Hungary. They emigrated to the US shortly before the First World War. Whoever was left “in the old country” on that side of the family was wiped out either in the trenches of WWI fighting for the Kaiser or in the Nazi Death Camps of WWII because they were Jewish. 25% of my family… gone. This was the toughest episode by far but I’m happy you got through it.
Some people don't know that there were quite a few revenge killings of German guards by the allies after the discovery of the camps.
The camp guards were slaughtered.
My heart breaks for you Jade. 😢. So sorry about your family and how this must have been for you. My prayers are with you. ✨🙏🏻. You have such a precious heart. ❤.
