Its interesting how the French defense at Verdun in WW1 during the German offensive was just over 100 miles from the Siege of Bastogne in 1944.

They did a very good job. 1 division (101st Airborne Division) against two, three or more divisions of SS Panzers and German infantries. That's one heck of stand still for a very experience units that survive the Operation Overlord and Market Garden. The Battle of Bulge is one of the most bloodiest fight in the history of Earth and also in the Western Front of Europe. We salute you boys 🖖🖖. Currahee!!!!

Kinda how he called out Winters from running out to Easy Company when he was the company commander he had a bigger job to do than the watch them. Leadership means delegating to your subordinates.

Quite a few of the units that took the brunt of the German offensive were relatively green units put in line in what was thought a 'quiet' sector to get a little seasoning. Unfortunately the sheer weight of the German offensive made them dissolve as even good veteran units would have had little hope against the onslaught. It must have been some comfort seeing 101st paratroopers arriving on scene sort of like seeing 'the old pros' are on the job now.

UK actively rejected Hitler's request for peace time after time. Now that France is liberated and back in the war as a nation, he assumed invading in the winter time against the Western Allies and taking back the Low Countries would give Germany the ability to close a front and then 100% focus against USSR. This was stupid beyond reasons because the Allies would of zero reason not to continue to invade. The Allies knew German resources and manpower was getting low and dangerous, if Hitler asked for peace, they would of laughed, there is zero reason to assume he had any fresh divisions behind that invasion if it were successful.

Towards the ending when the BoB opening alternative played, and Winters gazing out thinking about how far the unit came to be (especially the original Currahee troopers), while at the same time possibly struggling to find the odds of his unit coming out of the battle with minimal casualties despite having witnessed battle-exhausted troops and logistical issues from before-- all the while, even the chain of command of his superiors are squeezed in a position of combatting a German offensive. It's like a foreshadowing of us witnessing the last of what held that sweet-sweet sense of morale and comradery Easy Company had until the aftermath of this mission.

And this... is where the 101st airborne became legends.

Really good direction here, esp with the guys walking back from the front. "Guys, we need you all to look exhausted... and HAUNTED..."

If it was Oprah in this scene she would be saying, "You get a jeep, and you get a jeep, all of you get jeeps".

Love these Patriots. !

There was no air support because nothing could fly due to the weather--including the Stukas Fallon's character referred to. There may or may not have been artillery support in Easy company's sector but 10th Armored provided VITAL armored & artillery support for the 101st. Historians are generally agreed that Bastogne couldn't have been held without that support. In their eagerness to prove Easy won the war by itself, the producers reduced 10th Amored's contribution to a Jimmy Fallon cameo. Its also pretty outrageous that the courage b& sacrifice by 3rd Army in breaking through & relieving the 101st was treated with such disdain.

Could not say it better myself. Looking on two decades later with more access to historical records hitherto unseen before in all of mankind's history it's easy to critique this show for the sensationalised narratives they try to push. Albeit it's more than likely that the David vs. Goliath portrayal of Easy Company was one of the reasons for this shows success that has fans even twenty years later obsessing about it. They in a way have to lessen historical accuracy because the show then becomes at risk of not appealing to wider audience rather than appealing to the vocal minority of us who are interested in history and as a result, historical accuracy in public media

They don't show that Easy company won the war by themselves. In episode 3 they're literally rescued by a 2nd armored platoon and in episode 4 they're driven back by the Germans at Nuenen. I think you're forgetting that this series is meant to focus on Easy company and Easy company alone and it would be pretty weird to just break away and focus on the 3rd army who has no connection to Easy right in the middle of the series. The reason they treat the 3rd Army's incredible rescue of the company like it was nothing and sort of push it aside is because the men in Easy company felt like they never needed to be rescued and treated it like it was nothing. The reason they cut out Fallon's characters ammo runs is for pacing and completely makes sense given the shows 10 episode run.

@@oscarjohnson2130 There was no need to be so dismissive of 3rd Army's efforts. They could have simply not noted 3rd Army at all. Instead, they not only have the dialogue between Winters & Toye, they have a big spiel at the end of the episode denying 3rd Army its rightful place in the battle. They did need to be relieved by 3rd Army & they also needed the armored & heavy artillery support offered by elements of the 10th Armored without which they never would have been able to hold Bastogne. Instead, we have the Fallon standup routine & the affirmative statement that there was no armored or artillery support when there was. In fact, many of the 10th Armored units serving at Bastogne were heavily decorated for their service. Bill Guarniere, for one, was embarrassed by the overemphasis of the 101's role. It didn't need to be overemphasized. It was quite worthy even accurately related.

@Boco Corwin There's no novel & I am not separating anything. They used a comedian to portray the blood and sacrifice of the 10th Armored & you are justifying the production's dismissal of the blood and sacrifice of 3rd Army & 10th Armored.

@Boco Corwin Actually I am wrong. There IS a novel. Its the portrayal of the battle of Bastogne in this & subsequent episodes. The 101 is portrayed as defending Bastogne by itself & its relief by 3rd Army is dismissed as unnecessary. Both of those representations are complete fiction. The 101 could not have held Bastogne by itself & it did not. It had significant armored & artillery support from elements of the 10th Armored which suffered 4700 casualties in the battle.By comparison, the 101 suffered 2500 casualties. The 101 could not have held out indefinitely & could not have broken out by itself. It didn't have to as it, along with those 10th Armored elements, was relieved by 3rd Army. I don't know how many of 3rd Army's 140K WW2 casualties were suffered relieving Bastogne, but they were surely significant. The fiction regarding 10th Armored could easily have been fixed in this very scene. The comedian's line at the end could have been changed from "Look's like you guys are about to be surrounded" to Look's like we are about to be surrounded". The captioning at the end could have been changed from the 101 being without air & artillery support--which was untrue--to simply say it was without air support. The 3rd Army was even easier to fix. If they were so worried about denying 3rd Army its role at Bastogne, they could simply have not mentioned them either in the dialogue or the captioning. That would have been petty enough but affirmatively denying that 3rd Army played an important role was also quite ungenerous as well as wildly inaccurate. It seems likely that whoever was responsible for this nonsense had their knickers in a twist over the portrayal of Third Army in Patton which came out THIRTY ONE YEARS before. I doubt very many viewers even knew what the captioning referred to. In fact, Patton refers to the 101 as heroes who deserved to be relieved...making these comments even more gratuitous & ungenerous. One final note. This scene shows soldiers retreating from the Germans as a beaten mob. In fact, the four divisions that were attacked initially consisted mostly of green troops who were hit with overwhelming force. Many fought heroically, crucially delaying the German advance & giving Bradley time to rush the 101 & elements of the 10th Armored into Bastogne just ahead of the Germans.

"Were paratroopers lieutenent, were supposed to be surrounded" winters was such a bad ass 🙌 thx for your service to all our veterans 🙏🙏 George rice played by fallon was a true American hero delivering much needed ammo to the 101st airborne and as they said they didn't need Patton to relieve them they were just fine where they were. 🙏

Just realized that if Easy was camped near Mourmelon-le-Grand and they were driven to Bastogne, it was about 113 mi. Good distance to travel in the back of a deuce and a half in the dead of winter, not to mention bumps and having to hold it when you needed to take a leak!

They were committed with minimal amounts of ammo[worst was lack of mortar rounds], food and medical supplies were almost non-existent. They needed gloves, better boots[the shoe-pacs they should have had were held up in Comm Z], a single blanket was a rare commodity when you're sleeping in a foxhole in single digit temperatures. The 82nd was in a a better situation, they were in the line near Werbermont, but at least they could be supplied and their casualties evacuated.

You never hear a lot about casualties lost to hypothermia and frostbite. There had to be some, it'd be almost impossible that somebody in the 101 wasn't lost to one or both. But you don't ever hear about it.

I was checking out some Ukraine commentator (Speak the Truth) and thinking about this scene when he talked about Pokrovsk. So I will paraphrase Colonel Sink: “Welcome to Donetsk oblast this area is known as Pokrovsk. Strategic crossroads town, six roads leading in! Six roads leading out. Which makes it ideal for Orc armour. “Ike” wants to make sure that the Orcs can't use those roads, so we're gonna put a perimeter around Pokrovsk, dig in tight as a tick.”
