Impossible to keep a dry eye when real life Winters closes the episode with that anecdote
The documentary "We Stand Alone Together" is excellent. You get to hear so much more from these veterans. Their personalities really come out. You will love it!
I've watched this series like 100 times. Never seen it. That good?
@@jamezguard Yes you should then: We Stand Alone Together - th-cam.com/video/z6j_nop4wh0/w-d-xo.html
Yes. It’s that good!!
Thanks. I'll def check it out.@@davidwoolbright3675
@@jamezguard it really sheds a lot more light of what was going on back then. It's definitely worth the hour to watch it.
The scene with Spiers aiming his gun at the shooter is beautiful - they sort of all want to shoot the guy but at the same time they are all tired of killing ... Spiers looks down at his own hand with blood on it wondering why it's shaking and he's clearly confused until he has a revelation that he too is sick of killing. Nothing sums up this episode better than that one moment where a man who clearly deserves to be shot isn't.
The other truly great scene is the German General's speech which sums so much up.
A bonus video is the full interview of the surviving veterans of Easy Company
I was in The US Navy for 20 years, and wherever I got stationed, it seemed like there was always a Luz around. The class clown who kept us all smiling and helped us through the tough times.
Everyone needs a Luz!
Did you notice that the raffle that Shifty won was rigged? Ron Speirs saves lives too. Bull Randleman, Carl Lipton and Ronald Speirs Speirs Speirs Speirs Speirs!!!!!!!! I've 'been around the block' and I will tell you what I tell anyone who says thank you........ You're worth it.
No, I hadn't noticed that! You're answer to people is truly heartwarming 🥰 Thank you.
Yea, a lot of people seem to miss that. The helmet was empty except for Shifty’s name.
No one ever said the raffle was rigged.
Liebgott actually had some issues after returning to US. He lived off-grid several years before returning to San Francisco & working as a barber (not taxi driver).
Grant suffered from neurological problems the rest of his life; also settling in the San Francisco area, opening a tobacco shop.
Sobel died of malnutrition in a VA hospital after being blinded in a failed suicide attempt.
Love San Francisco!
Ah, the DVA. The best argument against government healthcare ever.
That wasn't Hitler on the floor. He comitted suicide in his bunker in Berlin and his people burned the body. The soldiers wouldn't just casually let him him lay there like that if they had found him, trust me.
I had the privilege to meet Mgr. Winters at a military base and we shared a table over drinks in a base cafe. The base, where he did his basic training, is very close to the PA Farm he retired to. We spoke about the War, and he asked about my family. My late dad was an Air Force veteran of both WWII and Korea. My grandfather had served as doughboy in WWI. Winters was kind; he said that my dad was a hero and I should be proud to be his son. I'll never forget that.
Winters was right, your dad was a hero. What an amazing experience!
That is why these men where known as the greatest generation. The men featured in this series are all gone now. May they rest in. Peace.
The men of Easy Company deserve credit for the things they did, however, Band of Brothers also gives them credit for things they didn't do.
Yes, if you want too. There's a follow up documentary called "We Stand Alone Together" That is excellent! It's more of the interviews and shows some of them at reunions. Well worth the watch.
There's also another documentary called "He Has Seen War" which features interviews with the survivors of Easy Company and the the 1st Marines who fought in the Pacific Theatre as well as their families talking about their readjustment to civilian life. If you're going to watch "The Pacific" leave this until you've finished that series.
I just wanted you to know that all of us appreciate the way that you react. You don’t interrupt the movie you allow us to watch your honest reactions and we thank you for that. My dad came in on Utah beach were easy company stopped the guns from selling them. He was a radio man. His rank was technical sergeant. He was one of the guys that had three stripes with a T under it. I watched this with my dad many times before he died. I’m thankful for people like you who show the respect this war deserves. Your channel is growing and will continue to if you want that. I think you’re good at it so keep your chin up and work hard. We are behind you.
Your dad sounds like a brave man, you must be proud to say he helped in our freedom. Thank you for sharing jeff xx
A great reaction. NOBODY holds it together at the end of all that. NOBODY. Blessings too you always
*Some of the many inaccuracies in Band of Brothers:*
1) Both Renée Lemaire and Augusta Chiwy, known as the Angels of Bastogne, were volunteer nurses at the aid station of the 20th Armored Infantry Battalion, Combat Command B, 10th Armored Division. Renée Lemaire does not appear to have ever met Doc Roe (Eugene Roe) and she did not die in a church as shown in episode 6. Battalion Surgeon Dr. Jack T. Prior is the one who wrapped her body in a parachute and delivered her remains to her family.
2) The camp liberation and associated scenes shown in episode 9 are fictional. The camp depicted in Band of Brothers is Kaufering IV which was actually liberated by the 12th Armored Division on April 27, 1945, with some units of the 101st Airborne Division arriving on April 28 and Easy Company arriving on April 29 (with the 522nd Field Artillery Battalion and 36th Infantry Division arriving on April 30). And there were only about 7 prisoners found alive along with about 500 bodies.
3) Easy Company did not liberate Berchtesgaden nor were they the first to reach the Eagle's Nest as shown in episode 10. The 7th Infantry Regiment of the 3rd Infantry Division is credited with the liberation of Berchtesgaden on May 4, 1945, and members of the French 2nd Armored Division are credited with being the first to reach the Eagle's Nest in the early morning of May 5. Easy Company arrived a few hours later.
4) Also, in episode 10 members of Easy Company did not kill an unnamed commandant of an unnamed concentration camp. This is based on the shooting of Franz Ziereis who had been commandant of Mauthausen. He had tried to hide out at his mountain hunting cabin but was spotted and reported. On May 23, 1945, U.S. Army soldiers attempted to arrest him, and he was shot three times trying to escape. He died the next day in a U.S. Army hospital. No members of Easy Company were involved.
Everyone will say to watch We Stand Alone Together, and it is brilliant, but do not ignore Ron Livingston's (Cpt. Nixon) Video Diaries. He was given a camera on the first day of the 10 day basic training all actors went thru to learn how to be paratroopers. At least how to fake being paratroopers. It shows just how dedicated this cast was to telling these stories faithfully.
Also, HBO's 20th anniversary podcast series is a highly informative and entertaining series
They needed 85 points to go home. Each soldier earned 1 point for every month they were in the service. They got a second point each month when they were overseas. Combat medals were 5 points each. A Purple Heart counts as a combat medal, so getting shot in the ass (an Easy company tradition) earned 5 points. If the soldier had dependent children, those counted as 12 points each with a maximum of 3 counted. For officers it was slightly different. Since officers are leaders, they were judged not only by their time of service, but also by their accomplishments and their effectiveness as a leader.
Most of the men in Easy were single with no kids so only got points for time-in-service and medals. Webster was a Tacoma man and had a Purple Heart so would have been at the top of the list for soldiers in Easy. Cobb would have had the points if he did not get arrested and Lipton was commissioned to officer. Everyone else who might have qualified was either dead or in hospital.
I thoroughly enjoyed your reactions to this great series. The empathy and compassion you had for those men really came through.
In 2009, I was at Fords Theater in Washington DC. One quarter of the audience were WW II veterans there to visit the WW II memorial. When the M.C. announced their presence, we all began to cheer; soon, everyone was on their feet cheering loudly and applauding. It went on for about 5 minutes. Tears were shed. You could see the gratitude of the veterans as we all cheered them. It was beautiful, and I'll never forget it! They truly were our greatest generation.
Anyone can see you have a good and pure heart. Thank you for this and God bless you.
Very poignant reflections about the change in the soldiers when the came home. IIRC Shifty Powers’ kids never knew about their father’s contributions in the war until he started talking to Stephen Ambrose for the stories in his book. His family believed that telling his stories helped him out of physical and mental decline. With that in mind, listening to him describe his lack of confidence after the war in the ending interviews is very emotional
Absolutely loved your reactions to this wonderful TV series......I felt the same emotions as you did ......I found myself caring for the men of easy company.
Thank you for a great job 😊
I spent many years in Germany both as a military dependant with my parents and in my own Army carreer..
Braveria was awesome! But it can't hold a candle to Austria, especally the alps around Innsbruck. ❤
The old town of Oberamergau still has an (in)famous play every ten years, some of the sets and props are over 300 years old. The area also has a reputation for skilled woodcarving dating back to before the Middle Ages. 😊
You got a point for every month of service and for any medals awarded.
Plus 12 points for each dependent child (up to 3). Medals (Bronze Star, Purple Heart, & Silver Star). were worth 5 points. DSC maybe worth more. MoH would send you home immediately to sell war bonds, plus bad look to have MoH winner KIA after Medal is awarded. One additional point for each month overseas
If you're still having withdrawal symptoms after finishing this series, here are some good extra videos to watch: "We Stand Alone Together", the documentary of the real life Easy Company men (strongly recommended) and "Band of Brothers: Ron Livingston's Complete Bootcamp Video Diaries", where the actor who plays Lewis Nixon made a video log for HBO about the experience that the whole cast had to go through to be prepared mentally and physically at an actual military bootcamp for the series.
Great reaction, not only to this episode but to the entire series! That ending hits everyone hard. My favorite two characters were Winters and Guarnere. I hope you react to We Stand Alone Together. It's a documentary about Easy Company and it has longer interviews with all of the men.
Just want to say again, thank you for reacting to this series. For all the effort and hard work. For all the emotions and shared tears. I've enjoyed the journey you've shared with us and look forward to joining you in the next journey together. 😊
Thanks Nathan, I appreciate your kind words Xx
The mountain and winter scenes were filmed in Switzerland. The rest were filmed in the UK.
Although you are a less verbal reactor, I really enjoyed your reactions! You actually noticed and commented on things that other reactors completely ignored. You also made some very astute comments others didn't come up with. You did a great job on this series!
But not many reactors notice that when they pull Shifty's name from the helmet his was the only piece of paper in there. It was set up for him to win.
@@Straydogger To be fair, though, it _was_ a subtle shot. Almost an Easter Egg. I didn't notice it the first couple of times I watched the series, and I'm the kind of guy who would pause DVDs to look stuff up, so an hour-long episode might take me 2 hours go get through. So for me when someone _does_ notice it, it's outstanding.
Wow, thank you!
I can never watch the the conclusion of this episode without crying
I genuinely loved how invested you were into just soaking in the entire series, it's just not the right story for commentary heavy reaction, and this was such a display of respect for the portrayal of the real lives of brave heroes that sacrificed so much for the entire world, and they didnt even know that they were, they were just doing their job. I've seen many other reactors that made silly comments for the sack of adding their voice at times that just weren't necessary, and you just did it right so I'm sure all the veterans out there will appreciate this. So many replies I've read where veterans only desire is for people to hear the stories and learn of what they went through, and that alone brings them such great joy. There is a lot of tough scenes to get through in this, but again it's so important to show what it was like, as we need to be reminded what war is like to avoid it in the future. I know you're starting out, but you're doing a great job with editing, I like how you blacked out the screen before saying "bye", it was a sweet soft little touch.
Just a few suggestions for war movies that I've enjoyed:
- The Last Samurai
- Hacksaw Ridge
- 1917
- Saving Private Ryan
- The Pacific (Companion series for BoB)
Would definitely be best to space these out in between other movies though, don't want to burden yourself with too much war lol.
My dad, Bill Young, served as a Sargent in the 1st Infantry Division from February 1941 to October 1945. He fought in North Africa, and all through the European theater. He was wounded and carried those German shell fragments in his legs and back until he died at the age of 96. When I watch band of brothers I always remember 2 things about my Dad. 1) that like these men from Easy co, he never thought of himself as a hero despite all his medals for bravery. He always said the hero’s were the guys that didn’t make it home. And 2) that once on the 65th anniversary of D-Day he casually mentioned that there hadn’t been a single day since then that he didn’t think of someone he knew or something he’d seen during the war.
Amazing to think the bravest people don't see themselves as heroes when we know they really are, especially having to deal with the aftermath it comes with. Thanks for sharing, must be great knowing your dad IS a hero. Thanks for sharing.
Coming into Berchtesgarden, capturing the Eagles Nest, this was less then a week after discovering the concentration camp. It was an insane contrast to see how the Nazi's lived and how they treated people they thought were less worthy as humans. It's because of this Winters allowed his men to grab and loot what souvenirs they wanted, Winters' wrote about this in his book
You picked the same two characters as me, the presence of George Luz made every situation more "livable" and Winters is the very heart and brains of the company. Great reaction btw! I hope you watch We Stand Alone Together.
and Next is the Pacific.
A fun fact from Wikipedia about soldier Shifty Powers, who grew up deer hunting, is that one day he looked out at the forest and reported that a tree was there that was not there the day before. He was right. It was just one tree in the forest but a fake, a German observation post.
There is an excellent video diary by Ron Livingston who played Lewis Nixon of course. It's VERY good. And there are others.
As we say in Texas; y'all be safe.
Excellent review. I have enjoyed watching this again through you eyes. You are correct it is important series to watch. Never apologize for getting emotional watching this series, it gets to us all. I will repeat what has been said several times already. You should watch We Stand Alone Together, the documentary that goes along with the series. It is excellent as well
It was great to see you, an Englishwoman living in France, learning about the experiences of Americans during WWII, Amy. Hopefully you gain a deeper emotional appreciation of wartime experiences if and when you revisit the American Cemetery in Normandy. I really hope to visit one day.
Hope you continue to find great shows and movies to react to in the coming months! See you for the next one.
Sadly, all the men of Easy are gone now, but this series is a wonderful legacy to keep their names and deeds relevant for all time. It's a sad fact, that people die and just aren't there anymore to talk to, learn from, enjoy their company. I still remember where I was when I heard about the last veteran of WWI dying a decade or so ago. I think it will be an even sadder and more reflective moment when all the veterans of this war are gone because of how much media has been made about them over the years. The worst part is that the lessons we learned from them are already being forgotten with this new rise of fascist-leaning groups all over the world in the last 5-10 years.
One of the better reactions to this series I have seen. Merci pour le voyage
I loved watching your reactions to this series. My favorites throughout the series are Winters and Nixon. Seeing the friendship and bond between them grow and deepen as the war progressed was beautiful and very emotional. I would love to have met Richard Winters before his passing. As a Navy Veteran, Richard Winters was the perfect example of what a good leader should be. During my time in uniform, I served under good officers and bad officers and Winters is someone I would have loved to serve under. One other thing I have to say is about George Luz. Hearing that 1600 people went to his funeral speaks volumes about the kind of person he was. There is more I could say, but it would take a book to say it all.
Now the pacific.... and if they actually get around to it "masters of the air"
Dying for masters! Ever since that teaser they put out like a decade ago.
@@stevenlurati3691 it's been so long last I heard they started filming this year 2023. My great grandfather was a tail gunner so I hope it's still a thing and comes out soon
@SSIronHeart yep I believe filming is done, apple TV was gonna release this spring, now supposed to be fall, imagine with writer strike they are sitting on releases. My grandfather was a waistgunner in 99th in Italy, shotdown and captured in Germany, shame there isn't more than a handful of coverage of the air war.
On to 'the Pacific'!
Easy Company is the most ironic and iconic 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 suffering 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 bleeding, just because you have to fight the War doesn't mean you wanted it. I implore you to see "We Stand Alone Together and Ron Livingstons Bootcamp Diary. "Were you a hero in the War Grandpa? Grandpa says no, but I served in a company of heroes" Near tears every time from Major Winters words. Currahee! ♠
Sadly, obviously none of the men of Easy are still with us. They will never leave us and they will be legends and appreciated forever. Hitler didn't live in the Eagles Nest in fact rarely went there. He lived at the Berghof below.
Eagle’s nest is still there, I think it is now a restaurant.
Thank you for doing this series. Respectfully done and you kind of get it. Much love to you. Peace.
There are words for all of this, I just don't have them, that's why we have poets and writers to say it for us - but one thing for sure, war is hell...those guys are thanking you for watching and because of that they live on...
Beautiful words 😊.. Thank you Xx
Great reaction and very insightful comments here at the end. I've really enjoyed watching. Thank you and bless you!
Thank you so much!
You were one of the least talkative reactors on TH-cam and sometimes less is more as in your case. There is a guy who is currently doing reactions to BoB and he spoils it by his non stop comments and talks over crucial pieces of dialogue. You did a great job and you understood all that was going on including the little quips and jokes and you showed a great sense of humour. Winters is always a favourite (mine too), but he is even better when he and Nix are bouncing off each other. There are lots of other great characters, but I agree with you that Luz is one of the best and he really was like that in real life and kept up the men's spirits. Others will have told you about the documentary and Ron Livingston's video, but there is another documentary that I saw the other day which I think was called "The Real Men of Easy Company" and is very similar to "We Stand Alone Together" with many of the same men being interviewed, although it was filmed a few years after the original. Anyway, you did a great job and all the best to you for the future.
I think I know the guy you're talking about there, Paul. He's an obnoxious, arrogant knobhead, calling people _cowards,_ and stuff.
I along with many others have watched and re watched this series many times. I have personally screened many reactors. Amy I have to say I enjoyed yours a great deal apart from the others because even though you are a woman of fewer words you always seemed to understand everything going on. All of the nuance and small things that were going on rarely escaped your understanding. So I say thank you for your sincere reaction, and as a Vet myself I appreciated the respect you bestowed on these men. Your laser sharp understanding of what this war meant to all of the people involved did not go unnoticed. Thank you!
Wow, thank you for this!! 🥰☺
Excellent reaction to the whole series. I really enjoyed it.
amy thank you so much for your reactions. ♥️ Your such a sweet soul.
You are so welcome!
What a journey, thank you sharing.
My pleasure! What a masterpiece!
Nice picks on your favorite two characters. The actor playing George Lutz does such a good job he elevates a third tier character into second rank status. On first viewing I didn't notice George that much other than the funny impersonation of Major Horton scene, however each time I watch the series I always anticipate and enjoy George's funny quips. Good choice.
A really good movie to react to on the soldiers return to home and family is "Best Years of their lives" made in 1946 just after the end of the war. Very poignant and I think you would enjoy it very much. Keep up the good work!
And so ends the greatest TV series of all time.
Luzt and winters are also my 2 favorite characters from the series. It would have been a great honor to have met them in person. I absolutely loved your reactions to the series. It really brought me back. Like it was watching it for the first time all over again. Cheers 🍻 👏 ✌️
Thanks adam ☺
You can see some of the war trophies brought back to the US by Winters & others at the Gettysburg war museum on TH-cam
I know im a month late but you really should watch "we stand alone together" its a beautiful piece, with interviews from the surviving men of easy company. winters stayed true to his word and found a place and lived in happiness, it goes deeper into the reunions and lets you get in touch with the actual soldiers themselves. its a beautiful piece
The Idle Company replacement who shot Staff Sergeant Grant, was Private Floyd Craver. He received a dishonourable discharge for his actions; two counts of murder, one count of attempted murder plus one count of desertion (there were also allegations that he attempted to assault an Austrian woman, but they weren't brought up during his court martial). Craver had also received a life sentence, but that was rescinded yet his discharge remained. He died in July of '87, after a collision with a truck whilst on his motorcycle (D.U.I.).
I think that I share this sentiment with every other Soldier, Sailor, Airman, and Marine, who have served in combat for this country, our hero's are the men and women who don't come home, or come home to be buried, those of us who came home to our loved ones are survivors, not hero's, no matter how brave or courageous our actions were in whichever war we fought in, our country's hero's, gave it all, and left everything they ever was and was ever going to be, on the battle field, for me at least, that is what a hero does. I have been called a war hero by some people in my life, and it always makes me uncomfortable hearing that, I am not a hero, I feel that all I did was participated in a war that had to be fought, and I did what I was trained to do, nothing more and nothing less, I followed orders just like everyone else, and I survived, nothing about that makes me a hero. I do not know conclusively, but I suspect that most combat veterans like myself feel the same way.
I have really enjoyed watching your reactions on this series,they also did a series after this on the war in the Pacific! 😊
Amy, you definitely must watch “We Stand Alone Together”. It will answer some of your questions about these heros.
Snugg-buggs, I have a feeling your channel is going to blow up soon...
I hope you're right! 😊
The pacific is a must to see to, it playes out at the same time but against the japanise, its as good as this
In regards to the German Office who surrendered to Winters. Not all German army personnel knew of the holocaust. There was the regular German army, and the Nazi army. An they did not like each other . Most of the regular army were appalled by what the Nazis army had done. An most didn't know until after the war.
There was a profound difference between the old school officers of the Wehrmacht and the Nazi SS, they were far more ideology driven and very fanatical. Himmler saw the SS as a new Germanic order of knighthood and he was obsessed with the Grail legend and the Nazi obsession of racial purity. There was no love lost between the two services.
Thank you for a great reaction to BoB 😊
Next is the Pacific.
History is repeating itself...as we speak...
More was from Casper Wyoming where I live. I searched for Hitlers photo album and got as close as I could. They’re in the hands of a private collector who paid $300,000 for them in 2010.
You can go up the Eagles nest today as it is a café/restaurant. If you go on a good day they are great views And you go up in the gold elevator.
The hotel they used by the lake is actually in Switzerland and you can stay there
As they mention, it was a Birthday present, but it was built at a tea house, not as a residence. I have been there. It's worth seeing the view.
I'm very surprised that the gold elevator is still there.
There's the 'other' war...The Pacific...
Hi, i enjoyed your reaction to the BOB series, i am fascinated by Europeans reactions to American entertainment and culture, we are the same but also different if you get my drift. Are you from Ireland? Nice channel 🙂
This series should be required watching starting at the high school level but unfortunately America's education system is trying to erase history and reinvent it to meet their own social agenda.
I really enjoyed watching this with you. Thank you. My two favored episodes are 6 Bastogne, and 7 The Breaking Point. All these men are most certainly heroes but ep. 6 and 7 highlighted their dedication, discipline, strong focus, integrity, loyalty, selfless commitment, courage etc.
Your reaction: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
_This series should be required watching starting at the high school level but unfortunately America's education system is trying to erase history and reinvent it to meet their own social agenda._
Unfortunately, you appear to be one of those people who believe what they see in Band of Brothers is accurate...it isn't. Band of Brothers is filled with fictional elements and inaccuracies. Here are just a few examples:
1) Both Renée Lemaire and Augusta Chiwy, known as the Angels of Bastogne, were volunteer nurses at the aid station of the 20th Armored Infantry Battalion, Combat Command B, 10th Armored Division. Renée Lemaire does not appear to have ever met Doc Roe (Eugene Roe) and she did not die in a church as shown in episode 6. Battalion Surgeon Dr. Jack T. Prior is the one who wrapped her body in a parachute and delivered her remains to her family.
2) The camp liberation and associated scenes shown in episode 9 are fictional. The camp depicted in Band of Brothers is Kaufering IV which was actually liberated by the 12th Armored Division on April 27, 1945, with some units of the 101st Airborne Division arriving on April 28 and Easy Company arriving on April 29 (with the 522nd Field Artillery Battalion and 36th Infantry Division arriving on April 30). And there were only about 7 prisoners found alive along with about 500 bodies.
3) Easy Company did not liberate Berchtesgaden nor were they the first to reach the Eagle's Nest as shown in episode 10. The 7th Infantry Regiment of the 3rd Infantry Division is credited with the liberation of Berchtesgaden on May 4, 1945, and members of the French 2nd Armored Division are credited with being the first to reach the Eagle's Nest in the early morning of May 5. Easy Company arrived a few hours later.
4) Also, in episode 10 members of Easy Company did not kill an unnamed commandant of an unnamed concentration camp. This is based on the shooting of Franz Ziereis who had been commandant of Mauthausen. He had tried to hide out at his mountain hunting cabin but was spotted and reported. On May 23, 1945, U.S. Army soldiers attempted to arrest him, and he was shot three times trying to escape. He died the next day in a U.S. Army hospital. No members of Easy Company were involved.
Got to watch The Pacific now
Another wonderful reaction. Thank you beautiful girl :)
Terrific reaction series. You did a super-good job editing this, and providing meaningful commentary. Gonna join the chorus of suggestions for you to react to *_We Stand Alone Together._* It was included as an extra in the series' box set. Essential viewing. After that, and I don't see a lot of in in the comments, but the next big series along these lines is *_The Pacific,_* also produced by Hanx and Spielberg, which is a whole different ball of wax. It covers what many US Marines did, and went through in the Pacific Theater campaigns. Completely different type of warfare. It's heavy, sometimes difficult viewing, but definitely worth seeing and reacting to, and all your followers of this are guaranteed to flock to it, and follow you down that road if you choose to react to it. I hope you do. But cheers for this. Been a great experience watching these, Amy-thank you!
yeah this was a good series, glad you watched it kid.
70,000 British woman married American GI's during the war.
Snugg, are we going to The Pacific next?
Maybe not next but it's on my list ;)
You should do a reaction to hawksaw ridge or saving private ryan if u havent seen either of those films before. Great ww2 movies!
You are doing better than some reactors who wanted another season and get lots of "So you wanted Hitler to be secretly alive in Argentina..." comments.
In 1936 Hitler was man of the year on time magazine, no one new what he was going to do
Hey see the reaction of reel history he has made books about easy company and lived near winters he has the easy company museum in getthysburg
Please watch The Pacific, it’s made by the same people about a company in the pacific fighting against the Japanese
It's on my list 😉
Yay! (-Now smoke and drink that big ole' Coke like a boss!) -Yeah!!
I feel like a jerk. I've been watching your uploads for a while now, but thought I was subscribed. I wasn't, but that changes today. Keep up the good work.
Haha I forgive you, thanks for being here Xx
And sadly it's happening again. I have a Ukrainian grandmother staying with me and her son is in the military. She managed to meet up with her son when he was training a while back and the war has changed him. All because one man in Russia dreams of past glory days that didn't exist.
War is horrible. Those who fight to defend a free and fair society - imperfect as it may be - are heroes, but I think every one of them would say that there are better ways to be heroes. A handyman who can come to your house at 2am and fix a leaking pipe is a hero - and certainly one who could inspire 1,600 people to mark his passing. We should strive for a world where the heroes are handymen or nurses or teachers or firefighters and not soldiers.
If only we were all on the same page, the world would be a much kinder place Xx
