Winters has been effectively bumped up a whole level. He's now the S-2 (Operations or executive officer "XO") of 2nd battalion. He's now in charge of Dog, Easy, AND Fox companies (and will make Major if he lives long enough for the paperwork to get through). But it's more abstract as a position, he won't be leading patrols much (he'll tell the captains under him to arrange patrols), or going out on the front line (but he may well set the location of the front line). But he'll still be in danger (his predecessor was KIA after all).
The white stripes on helmets designated leaders. Officers had vertical, NCO, (sergeants) horizontal. It allowed men to tell who was who when following
Thank you for supporting the U.S. Veterans. We appreciate it. 👌🙂
Also, you're hot.
To give you a perspective on the strategy. Hilter gambled on a thrust through Allied lines to split the US and British troops. Germans struck through heavily forested country. Believed to be impossible to do. They easily overran the green troops stationed there. The 101st was one of the only combat experienced units that could be sent in. They soon found themselves surrounded during the colfest winter in Europe in 100yrs.
There is no need to blur things out we've seen this shit a hundred times for christ sake. Tell YouTube I said to kiss my ass. The girly episodes are over, buckle up buttercup.
Buckle up. The next few episodes get a little "bumpy."
I know you don't reply and that's ok. I have said that you will start feeling like your part of Easy and I can see it happening with you. You are doing a great job . May God bless you
The German machine guns firing we're laying out fields of fire. Mapping, zeroing in a "kill box" area they were defending…. Setting up their defenses.
Wow, you know what iron sights are? 😍
You are a very attractive woman, but the fact that you knew "iron sights", made you even more attractive!!! Great reaction!!!
When you finish Episode 10, please, please, please watch "We Stand Alone Together." Consider it episode 11. The old veterans you see speaking at the beginning of the episodes? Those are small excerpts from "We Stand Alone Together." You get a lot more of that.
06:04 From what I've read, there's never been a definitive explanation for why the German MG-42 was apparently just firing off into the distance, giving away their position. Most military historians now just kind of chalk it up to them getting spooked, thinking they saw an American patrol when in fact, Winters and his men were at their flank.
Shoutout to the Mass Effect outro song
Ça a l'air bien.
Jamais regarder merci 😊
Great reaction. I enjoyed your response.
Officers had the white vertical stripe on their helmets and Non—Commissioned Officers, sergeants and corporals, had horizontal stripes.
This woman. New what irion sites ment she is a shooter.
If you haven't noticed, Nixon was an alcoholic.
The British paratroopers wore the red beret when not wearing their helmet and were nicknamed the Red Devils.
It’s not mentioned in the series, but Buck Compton was the second gentleman speaking at the beginning of the episode. He lettered in both baseball and football at UCLA before the war.
17:25 At night soldiers often prefer to wear a beret or a simple field cap than a steel helmet because you can hear less under a helmet.
In September 1944 a wounded American had been left behind. He was right across from a German machine gun squad led by Lt. Friedrich Lengfeld. Lengfeld led a couple of men across the mine field to help the wounded American. On the way back Lt. Lengfeld trip a mine and was killed.
Today at the entrance to the Hurtgen Cemetery there is a plaque above Lieutenant Friedrich Lengfeld's gave that reads in both English and German, "No greater love hath a man that he layth down his life for his enemy." It was placed there by the US 22nd Infantry.❤😊
Near the beginning, when Nixon said we should have taken Antwerp and we would have been well supplied. The Allies had Antwerp the port city, but the Germans held the Scheld region, which was the river estuary to the port.
I guess with your youthful look, you wouldn't have listened to Prince's song Raspberry Beret. The type of had the British Commandos were wearing.
A higher-ranked officer (Winters) doesn't replace a lower-ranked officer (Moose) if they go down, someone of equal or lower rank will have to step up (or be appointned). The higher-ranked officer has more on their plate. If Winters took over Easy Company, there'd be nobody to be the executive officer of the battalion (3-5 companies). It's easier to find a replacement to lead a company than replace a Battallion XO. What he'd prefer to do is of significantly less importance than what his superiors need from him.
There are several instances in the series where they modified events because they were afraid the truth would breach the audience suspension of disbelief and destroy immersion. One such instance is in the second episode when Malarkey is talking to the German prisoner from Oregon that Speirs eventually shoots. In the episode Malarky says they were working the same job 100 miles apart, but in reality he and that German PoW he ran into by random in the middle of a warzone on a different continent had actually been working the same job literally across the street from each other. Another is in this episode. Winters outrunning the entire company had nothing to do with the smoke grenade he threw or waiting for the signal, Winters was just a really, really, really fast runner. But including that would have made it look like they were trying to set him up as some sort of superhuman or something so they changed it up a bit.
