You take turns sleeping and watching overnight he might have been guy on watch waking his replacement.
2 most dangerous positions front and back.
Great reaction. I subscribed because you're reacting to this, my favorite series ever
Oh, Bastogne (the Bulge) isn't for sometime, but here's a quick 1944 language update. Remember when Captain America chided Ironman for "language"? They were big into that. Take the word "drat"; it is because "darn" get people to clutch their pearls. "Damn" would make them faint.:) "Nuts" is basically like grabbing your crotch and yelling "Dez Nuts!"
Speirs had to kill those prisoners, the invasion force was still landing on the beach and there was no guarantee at the time that it was going to be successful. There was nowhere to bring them, and they are paratroopers they go in first and sabotage anything of military importance to save as many lives as they could landing on the beach, they were in no position to take or care for prisoners.
Re the tank running over the German soldier, I have read that there was a trench built underneath that was filled with soft foam. As the tank moved over, the stuntman was pressed down into the foam. It was still an incredibly risky stunt so that particular stuntman had quite a few zeros on the end of his paycheck.
On D Day there were orders not to take German prisoners. If Speirs gunned down those prisoners he was following orders. They were poorly supplied and outnumbered behind German lines, what could they realistically do with prisoners?
Why is it when so many reactors get to the, "Close behind," bit where they find the French family they Always go, "No, no, no," as if, for some reason, US soldiers are just going to arbitrarily execute French civilians?
Overwhelming fear can cause temporary blindness.. it’s like all of his fight or flight responses are short circuiting
a soldier who fought in Carentan wrote a famous poem about it, you might like it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtb1gxZ9kM0
This episode is a masterclass in accents. The guy who plays Blithe, and a lot of the actors including the guy who plays Winters, are British, but you wouldn't know it from their voices.
For me one of the best performances in this series and characters is Rick Warden as Harry Welsh – his humor, his humanity…just very well done.
My favorite reactors are those willing to give BoB a try even though it's outside of their normal interests. Even better when they learn to love it like I have for over 20 years now.
I agree with Speir's assessment on what he told Blithe about excepting that you are already dead, simply because you are rid of the fear of dying, and now you can focus on doing what you were trained to do.
The thing with speirs and the prisoners is a dramatization. The reality was speirs did kill pows but more like 4-7 rather than 20, and it wasn’t as malicious as the show made it seem though I’m not justifying it. What happened was on d-day with the misdrops he linked up with a couple guys and at some point they took pows but they hadn’t hooked up with any larger forces and had no way to secure the prisoners and with Germans actively executing American paratroopers pows they executed the pows. The first time each man with speirs took part, the second time speirs acted alone. The USA soldier speirs shot was drunk and pulled his weapon on speirs and speirs acted in self defense.
Blithe didn’t die until the 60’s, the show got that wrong.
Albert Blithe lived and fought in Korea warning a bronze star and silver star for parachuting into a battalion on Chinese he died in the 60s winters has called him courageous and he was afraid just like anyone else and this was exaggerated in the show

0:47 mark Love that scalawag drinking with him and listening to him tell stories , during the 50th anniversary for the Battle of the Bulge him & XXX took turns with me drinking beer and Prop blast trying to keep up with those 2 was tough lol. so Yes Speirs shot PW's and so did many others(on both sides) but none said anything esp to Ambrose when he was interviewing them for the book as they didn't fully trust him. i had a long talk with XXX from E/506 and then told me how he killed some PW's on D-Day (took him years to trust me to tell me about it) so at the 14:34 mark thats Marlaky & Moore on the motorcycle which they" found "near the beach in Normandy while they were getting ready to had back to England so they made a deal with the navy crew to bring it back they raced it down the beach onto the ship and used it around base and when they went on leave till Market Garden which you will see in another eps when it's taken from them.
Hello there
I don't want to get too deep into politics, but these kinds of things are why I get so bent out of shape when people claim women have it worse than men in war.
Possibly a case of hysterical blindness – caused by stress. Short term shut down of the brain/optic nerve
The man that was run over by the tank? He was laying on a grass mat over a hole. When the tread made contact it pushed him into the hole unharmed.
The blindness thing was a case of hysterical blindness. The mind can do weird things under stress. Basically he panicked and thought he screwed everybody over because of it and his brain got that twisted and created a case of punishing itself by making him blind. When he was told that wasn't the case it essentially fixed itself. Like I said the brain does weird things sometimes and its not as uncommon as you might think
This episode is the one where The Operations Room's videos showing the exact circumstances of Easy Company's battles really start to come in handy. I think that the Battle of Carentan and the Battle of Bloody Gulch as seen in this episode are the two battles that the makers of Band of Brothers had to stray from reality the most. A huge factor of the Carentan fight was the terrain of the battle, and it was not possible for the producers to come close to matching it…the Germans had flooded large areas behind the beaches and the town could only be reached across a small number of causeways. Then, there was no possibility for them to accurately portray anything but a tiny portion of Bloody Gulch, since the real battle had 60 Sherman tanks against 12 German tanks…and there just are not that many running Shermans or German tanks. That channel I told you about called The Operations Room has complete coverage of these battles so you can see the full reality of them. ✌💯🖖
