Am 65, veteran .... always makes me smile when young people watch BOB...( Pacific, etc) my dad was Navy Airman WW2, also his 2 brothers served.
Good for you, Dude!!
I’m glad to be watching it!
I always love it when I see a young person reacting to this series because I think it's important that everyone should watch this once in their lifetime!!
Yes the older gentlemen at the beginning of just about every episode are the veterans that are these actual men!!
They trained for nearly two years before they were dropped into Normandy on the early morning of D-Day!! The scene you saw at the very beginning was June 4th which is 2 days before D-Day and it was postponed until the next day!! Easy company and the 101st actually boarded their planes on the 5th in the late afternoon early evening and were dropped in Normandy in the wee hours of the morning of June the 6th!!
The series is very accurate they've taken liberties here and there but for the most part very accurate depiction of what these men went through and thousands and thousands like them in World War II Europe!!
The identities of the Old gentlemen will be revealed but not until the end unless you guess who is who in the meantime!!
Enjoy the series and don't forget to show it to your children!!!
I'm glad to be watching it!
If you're going all the way with this...be prepared to grow, laugh, learn and suffer with these characters. The first episode is in some ways my favorite, if only for the innocence and the fact that I know what lies ahead for these men. This was when their biggest threats were "Army noodles with ketchup." I love the power move Winters makes by literally grabbing the pen out of Sobel's hand while he was abusing his power...it's brilliant. Hard to call this a TV show honestly, it's a 12 hour Saving Private Ryan in quality...CURRAHEE! ♠
I’m ready!
@@noahzynski I have to say you look a lot like 'Okeefe!' Godspeed and enjoy the series
YES!!! Greatest miniseries of all time. Based on a book that contains first hand accounts. It's pretty accurate save for some artistic license and a few misremembered things by the men being interviewed. The guys you see at the beginning are the actual guys.
The Airborne were volunteers btw. They weren't drafted.
Excited for this journey!
My son was stationed at Ft Bragg...Camp Mackall is still there.
Remember, their task was to land miles inland to attack from the inside; notably airstrikes conducted by german forces
13,000 paratroops jumped at midnight on top of the German Army. Pathfinders had to jump in a half hour earlier on their lonesome, to light the landing zones. British Commandos hit the critical East end to keep the Panzers from counterattacking, by seizing Pegasus Bridge.
Nice, very good series
Enjoy the ride with Easy Company, this is a fantastic series!
Excited for the journey!
When you finish the series, there is an excellent documentary called “We Stand Alone Together” about the real men and unit, and also a ‘video diary’ by Ron Livingston (Lewis Nixon) about the training period the cast had before filming began.
Awesome, I'll for sure check that out!
Hello, to do the calculations about the $100.00 now. I can tell you if you look at advertisements for new automobiles back in the early 1940s in Life Magazine. Some new automobiles were priced at less than $850.00.
The mountain Curahee is located in the state of Georgia, not the country. The place now is called Fort Benning.
Yeah, that makes more sense lol
What? There is no 'Fort Benning' anymore. It became 'Fort Moore' in 2023, and it's 200 miles away in Columbus, GA, not Toccoa, GA.
Normandy is the beginning of the western front in the European theatre. It's certainly a famous and important battle, although admittedly more for the French and Americans and Canadians than the other participants (Soviet Union, China, and Japan weren't involved, and Germany and Britain had already been fighting so long and across such a wide area that each of them had battles that meant more to them). 1944 is late in the war as you note, but for the United States this is the beginning of the war in non-Italian Europe.
True never thought about it that way!
Awesome pick! I hope nobody spoils you names of the vets. Always keep in mind this is all based on real events with real people, though through the recollections of a handful of men, so there will be some inaccuracies, and some bias, good or bad, concerning some characters, based on whether they were liked or not.
The cast is also amazing, a lot of very famous actors who were in the infancy of their careers. See if you can spot them all!
And make sure to cover the opening interviews and the closing quotes, as that's what viewers really like to see.
And you said at some point he's just a kid, they all were kids, or just about. Winters was 26 on D-day, Welsh and Nixon 25, Meehan and Compton 22, going to lead men into war.
I’m hyped for this series! I’ve already recognized so many of the actors!
@@noahzynskiNice! And to answer some more of your questions, the Airborne were to parachute and land into enemy territory a few hours ahead of the invasion. By the time the first boats would hit the beaches, paratroopers would already have been busy capturing objectives, roads and bridges for a few hours.
Also, all the parachutes are automatically deployed to ensure that nobody hits nobody else while falling, among other reasons. By having everyone's parachute out about at the same altitude, you have no risk of someone plummeting into someone else because they waited a few extra seconds.
@@FrenchieQc that makes sense!
I used to be a member of the Evergreen Air Museum here in Oregon, and I got to see Malarkey a number of times since he's from here, plus a couple times, Compton, Guarnere, and a few others.
My favorite time was during a dinner I sat next to Forrest Guth. He'd been part of Easy Company from the very start and was one of the many they just couldn't show, so some of his stuff just got rolled into the few characters we see. He was such a nice guy and I wish I could have recorded his stories!
@RogCBrand lucky you! Guth was written in the show, uniform with extra pockets already prepared, but they nixed him at the last minute because ... his name is too close to Forrest Gump.. shit you not.
He was a great gunsmith and could turn the M1s into full auto rifles, the guys called them the Guth Specials
Did you notice how winters pulled every Man up off the ground in his "stick" and looked them square in the eye loading into the plane for the big jump . A true leader . Then they pulled him onto the flying rattletrap out of respect . Those planes were really rickeddy tin cans .
Yes I did! He’s seems like a great leader!
As I remember, it's a standard formation/procedure. The difference is, if I'm remembering right, it would be like a fire brigade, each man helping the next up. Winters going down the line on his own seems extra. In the good way.
@@rollomaughfling380 I just meant how much better a leader Winters was than Sobel .
@@joeyboogenz Yeah, or many officers like him. I got that, man. Saying the same things.
1944 may sound like it was "near the end of the war," but 1944-45 was like a thousand times more deadly than 1942, when factories and the US military were ramping up numbers and skills. Most of the action of the war for the US was in '44-45.
That’s a good point!
As a side project look up "The Fat Electrician's" video about Jake "McNasty" Mc Niece. About the guys with the Mohawks told by a master storyteller.
Will do!
YOUR GOING TO LOVE IT
I think so!
My dad was paid by the Navy $40 per month 2 years after D-Day ;-)
Wow
09:57 "North Carolina . . . is this training still?"
Kills me with some reactors to this show, lol. "No, don't you remember when we repelled the Axis in the great 1944 'Battle of North Carolina'?"
Cut me some slack lol
@@noahzynski I am, bro. Just still funny to me, every time I see it. Yr all good!
$100 in 1941, if received as compensation such as pay would be roughly equivalent to $4,800 today. Still not nearly enough pay for what they were doing, but you have to recall that you have to use your pay for very little in the military. At least back then. All food, clothing, and housing would be provided, so you always see soldiers of the time gambling or sending their pay home. They didn't have much use for it outside of spending it on R&R.
True
$100 in 1942 (which is where you should measure from) equals just under $2k in 2024, nowhere near $4,800. Don't know where you're getting your information.
Lol it’s still about 100 bucks per check or month for jump pay. The Army is still old school in a lot of ways
And Sobel in some ways is why this company was documented because his discipline tactics
Sobel is definitely good at training!
No, what the soldier said was the guy told them: "'but you get paid 50 dollars a month more'. That made it a hundred bucks. *raises hand*"
Base pay for E-1 in '42: $50/mo ~
+$50/mo Jump Pay
=$100.
Double the pay. Danger money, whatever. It's equivalent to moving from just under 1K/mo to 2K/mo. Not bad with free housing, meals, clothing allowance, etc.
@@rollomaughfling380 tf are you talking about
By being so tough on them, Sobel did help make them a tight-knit unit which was good, but, and this is just my opinion, I think he wasn't doing it for the men, but to make himself look good, which could lead to promotion. It's like someone that is badly bullied turning out to be a very empathetic person that becomes a wonderful doctor. The bully might have had some impact for good, but the bullying still wasn't good.
Totally agree!
😄I like your name! lol👍
Ditto!
@@noahzynski 😄
The country of Georgia did not even exist back in this time as it was part of the USSR
Haha, my bad
Your audio is a fraction of a second out of sync with your mouth movement and combined with the jerky start/stop edits it is quite distracting but i like BoB so i watched anyway. 👍
Thanks for the tip, not sure how I could fix that but I’ll look into it! Appreciate you watching anyway!
