“Like a vegan”…I spit my drink out. 😂

There were a lot of subtle clues that the person was not an American. 1) When they zoomed in him writing the date he put down day/month/year which is normal to everybody except Americans who put down month/day/year. Hard to describe this one, but most Americans write their 6's and 9's with a circle and straight line where many Germans will have the circle but will curve the straight line. 2) It was common to get them to sing the national anthem since most Americans can't sing the whole thing without messing up or start humming the rest whereas a lot of German spies learned the whole thing and this guy was singing it loudly almost trying to prove he knew it. When he sang the whole thing it would look weird since most Americans can't. Also, the Star Spangled Banner has word usages that are not how normal people speak but more of a poetic form. When the German spy was singing, he says "Just how proudly we hail" when the actual lyrics are "What so proudly we hailed". The words make sense to use there but it would be weird for an American to switch to those words since it just sounds off. 3) Another common question was to ask a baseball question like who won the pennant last year or who played for who. 4) Asking questions about locations was common as well. The Germans knew they flew in from England but not exactly where in England so they would study major key locations to prepare to spy in case they were questioned they could answer. Like one of the guys pointed out, he never had a chance to see London because you would have to have weekend pass to get there and back but he never had a chance which was common. The spy likely answered the London questioned and described what London was like from what he had researched. It was never a situation where you messed up once and they thought you were a spy, it was a combination of mistakes that would convince them.

I totally agree. This isn't really a resistance organisation though, it is an escape line, these are two very different things. Most escape lines dealt exclusively in helping airmen to escape and didn't deal with activity you'd normally associate with resistance (e.g. blowing up trains). There's a classic 1970s BBC series called "Secret Army" (which is available on KZread) which portrays a fictitious escape line, and is heavily based on the Comet Line which helped almost 800 Allied airmen to escape. I highly recommend it.

Sooo true! My granpa was in belgian resistance then at the end of the war he was on front. He told me some "missions" but not the...hardest to tell.

Donald Miller starts his book with the story of Egan getting the news of Cleven being shot down. He then gets into a description of how the air war was different than the ground war. There was no 'front line' no defined 'battlefield'. When someone disappears you didn't know their fate. Were they dead or alive? Aircrews juat knew the others didn't come back from a mission There were no bodies to bury. It made it very difficult for the survivors to mourn their losses. It was all so very abstract for these flyers and so very hard on their nerves. Getting back into their Flying Fortresses day after day was a pure effort of will power.

The wiki page on hood granddad describes one heck of a military career

Earlier this week one of our national radio stations (in Ireland) was talking to the author of the book which this show is based on. He spoke about on US airman who was a tail gunner and on his first flight the tail was detached from the plane while 3 miles up. He survived but they sent him up again the next week. The poor guy lost it due to the airframe of the B17 flexing while flying, thinking that the tail was going to come off again. When he returned he actually became comatose due to fear and was shipped home, where he was in a coma for nearly a year.

By far my favourite episode so far. I wish they were doing more of this exploration of the men and who they are throughout, and hope they keep this up going forward.

if u wanna see a great movie about that 1st crew to fly 25 missions, ya'll should watch and react to 'Memphis Belle'... it's fantastic

One horror story of many in WW2. There was a French resistance group, that had been infiltrated by a German agent. This German agent got himself into a position. Where evading allied airmen. Would get turned over to him. For the next part of the journey. The German agent would convince these allied airmen. To get rid of any identifying things (dog tags, pay book, letters from home) that you mark them as evading military personnel. Then this agent would make sure that everyone of these evading airmen would wear civilian clothing. Of course the German agent would turn these evading airmen over to the German authorities, but because these evading airmen got rid of any military identification. Plus they were captured in civilian clothing. The Germans marked them as enemy spies. Where these evading airmen ended up in a Nazi death camp. Now this group of airmen got lucky, because one of their group. Spoke German, and a bunch of German Air Force officers were looking for laborers. The one airmen that spoke German introduced himself as a captured allied airman. That he and his fellow airmen were put in this camp by some sort of mistake. The German Air Force officers ended up getting all of those allied airmen out of that Death Camp. When the U.S. airmen were returned to U.S. custody at the end of the war. All of those airmen were sworn to secrecy by the U.S. government. It wasn't till the early 2000's that anyone of the airmen broke their oath of secrecy.

I'm not surprised by this. The Luftwaffe started the war as one of the most pro-Nazi branches of the german military, but they lost a lot of that as they fell out of favor later in the war. There was a degree of mutual respect between fliers for the hell they all went through, and some of those Luftwaffe men despised the sheer brutality of the gestapo and ss to other airmen. They knew that if allied men were getting tortured, then they could be too if they got shot down.

Yes, beating the odds. My dad and his crew were shot down on their 10th mission. On board ,their pilot was on his 25th and last mission, so was a "special guest." The crew thought this was a good sign, so good that another crewman who did not have to fly that day volunteered to go on the mission. Conversely, their regular navigator had been lost on a mission a couple of days prior where he filled in on another crew. His replacement, Lt. Caust, was on his first ever mission. So a 25 mission guy and a 1st mission guy. The entire crew bailed, but Caust was shot and killed on the ground by a farmer. Death was so random.

70,000 US airmen of the 8th Air Force were casualties over Europe. The courage and bravery of these men, also known as the "greatest generation" is why I feel a sense of pride to pay respect to their legacy by learning their stories. This show has been fantastic so far! Thanks for the content, and I look forward to your next one!

I really had a different perception of Bucky on leave. He looks out the window at the German bombing raid, mentions '..I'm doing that to people.' Eastern European (Polish?) girl says, 'They deserve it.' Then he sees that dead child. IMO, his whole demeanor is, 'They started it, we'll finish it.' And of course, you mentioned that when you were talking about the scene where Bucky buys the paper and calls the airbase to say he'll be back. My own experience with the veterans is anecdotal, mostly from talking to them at airshows where WW2 vintage aircraft were displayed back in the 1970s-'80s..but most of them seemed to hold that sentiment.

This is why there are only a few characters they are able to really delve into, because so many of them were not around that long.

He was part of the Army Air Force 92nd Bombardment Group (H) and the stories he passed down are absolutely incredible. There is is a statue in Wellingborough UK for their service.

I have to say, I love this series. This one showed the perspective of the ground crews and personnel as well as friends waiting for them to return. That's important to the overall story, I think. I have a hard time believing a mechanic would fix an engine on a moving plane from inside a wheel well. If that actually happened, it was impressive. I had an Uncle named Bill Bettridge who was a B-17 tail gunner in the 15th Airforce in Italy, who flew 51 missions, shot down 2 confirmed and one unconfirmed enemy fighters and was awarded the Air Medal 4 times.

The Norden bombsight was the best for the time, but you should read the wikipedia entry about how bad it was. In combat only half of the bombs landed within 1,200 feet of the target (meaning half were more than 1,200 feet off). That's why every attack sent 15-20 bombers, because you needed to drop 200 bombs for even one to hit the target.

It wasn't all down to the bomb sight. The way they bombed as a formation also had an effect. The statistic I have read most often is that less than 20% of bombs fell within a 1,000ft radius of the aiming point.

One of the ways to identify Americans was by how they held cigarettes (most commonly between the index and middle finger), which differed from the European way. It wasn't guaranteed, but it was pretty reliable.

There's also differences in inflection and diction that are uniquely American, which the Maquis also had to be keenly aware of. Generally speaking, any Allied soldiers who escaped and evaded capture with the help of the Resistance were automatically taken out of combat and sent home; if they were captured again they could reveal members of the Resistance that helped them escape initially. However, there were exceptions to this rule.

TBR, if you guys haven't seen the film "Memphis Belle" from I believe 1995-ish, starring Matthew Modine among others you would probably recognize, you should!! It's the story of the crew of the Memphis Belle which was a B-17 and I believe it was the very FIRST crew to reach 25 missions!!!

I'm so happy you get these episodes out to us so quickly. And so appreciative of what these real men did for us. The only appreciation they get is when we talk about our air supremacy during D Day.

The B-17 was designed and built by Boeing, but also built under license by Douglas and Vega (Lockheed). At the height of production, Boeing was rolling one B-17 out the door *every hour*.

Bucky's lover in this episode is played by great Polish actress who's been lately appearing in more and more English-language productions (eg. new Al Pacino and Michael Keaton film). One of her films which I think you would adore is "Cold War", directed by Paweł Pawlikowski, Oscar nominated masterpiece, a true epic romance.

Interestingly, on the Bremen mission shown here, one of the aircraft from this unit (100th Bomb Group) that didn't return was the "Piccadilly Lily". A B-17 named "Picadilly Lily" was later featured in the classic 1949 movie and later TV series "12 O'Clock High", as the movie's screenwriter Beirne Lay Jr had flown five missions in the original "Picadilly Lily". I had hoped Episode 4 would feature this aircraft - it would have been a nice touch - but she was from one of the other Squadrons of the 100th that we don't really see here.

Bob got the lyrics to star spangled banner wrong as well.

Boeing pumped out the B17 in numbers exceeding 12,500 throughout the war. My Grandma worked here in Long Beach they did about 2500 at the Douglas plant. I got to ride in a "G" model called Sentimental Journey in 2015 at an expo in Chino Airport. Being only 5'2" I would have been voluntold to be a ball gunner.

@donparnell309

Amazingly, the ball turret gunner was a pretty safe place to be. It was armored and not directly attacked like the front of the aircraft. The waist gunners, bombardiers, and navigators had much higher casualty rates.

It's so hard for a show like this to convey the context of the daylight bombing campaign of the 8th Air Force and how it differed from the early to late war raids when Allied fighters could escort the bombers almost or all the way to targets as well as improved bomber group tactics and a general wearing down of the German defences. Of the aircrew who flew the original twenty-five mission bomber tour in 1942-1943 only about 35% survived. Whereas the twenty-five to thirty mission requirements of 1944 had about a 66% survival rate, and by 1945, 81% of the aircrew managed to fly the full thirty-five engagements. Across the entire flying aircrew cadre of the 8th Air Force the casualty rate was around 21%. Compare that to the U.S. Marines casualty rate of 3.3%, the U.S. Army rate of 2.3%, and U.S. Navy rate of 0.4%. The daylight bomber crews got shredded.

Love this series and how they develop the characters. I beleive you're first up on KZread with your episode 4 reaction. Well done!

You picked up the lighter clue. It was an Austrian make of lighter. American crews were fond of the zippo and would have carried that. The lighter pick up was the confirming nod that he was an infiltrator. Remember in band of brothers some Americans of German descent went back to Germany for the war so it’s not impossible some became infiltrators, especially useful if they could speak English with an American accent as well.

Holy crap the tension in the last few minutes was NUTS!!!

I think at this point, pretty much every factory and workshop that can make military gear and supplies does. All the car factories are building tanks, planes, and trucks. In 1943, the Americans produced 150 combat planes every day. In 1944 it was 200. I saw one quote that during the two and a half years that America was at war, the country produced 140 civilian cars in total. Once the Americans committed to joining the war and winning, German and Japanese defeat was inevitable.

Remember that this is still early in the Bombing campaign, where the 8th AF took a good amount of heavy Bomber losses due to enemy fire and the lack of Fighter escort all the to the target and back. From the lessons of these early days came the B-17G with more guns up front and more P-51 Fighters to escort the Heavies. That, sheer numbers and the decline of the Luftwaffe paved the way towards eventual victory.

On the resistance fighter/ ground airmen infiltrator scene- during the Battle of the Bulge, which you see in Band of Brothers episode 6 & 7, the Germans used Spies with very effective American accents to infiltrate behind the lines and caused so much havoc with the US troops, that the American Military Police had to grill your Generals & high ranking personal on things like what you see the resistance fighters doing in this episode. The Germans were very good at it.

8th AF bombs only had a 5% hit rate. Rarely did they ever destroy a target it was the civilians around the targets that took the brunt of every raid. British ran into the same problem above 25k ft

How can you leave out the great Robert Shaw in your list of the Battle of the Bulge cast? 🤯 He's literally the best thing in it. They already reacted to, and loved, Jaws so they would know who he is.

Glenn Dye's co-pilot, John "Lucky" Luckadoo, who is fortunately still with us at age 101 has a few less than flattering things to say about Dye and the some of the other members of his crew. Prior to leaving for England the 100th's co-pilots had accrued more flying time than many first pilots so they were transferred to other groups and a new batch of co-pilots was brought in including Lucky who was assigned to Dye's crew. Because of the attachment they had with their old co-pilot, the navigator and bombardier made Lucky's life hell and Dye didn't do anything to stop them. During a training flight Dye landed their B-17 in a muddy grass field in Ohio to visit his wife and baby. The B-17 got stuck in the mud and they tried to tow it out with tractors, trucks and wreckers in order to pull it onto wooden planks. On full power the B-17 was finally able to get off the boards and they barely cleared the trees at the end of the field when they took off. In Newfoundland on their way to England Dye hooked up with a British woman in the WAAF "Women's Auxiliary Air Force" and got the clap as a result. While the rest of the 100th went on to England Lucky and the rest of Dye's crew had to wait two weeks while Dye received sulfa treatment. When he was finally released from the hospital he was so weak he had to be carried into the cockpit leaving Lucky to fly the plane and the crew to England alone. Before they left Lucky had it out with his navigator and warned if he warned if he didn't navigate them to landfall on the nose he'd kick his ass out of the plane without a parachute. They got to England no problem. Lucky felt Dye should've been court-martialed for the landing stunt in Ohio and his relationship with the navigator and bombardier was strained to say the least.

They may be "lost" in terms that they don't return to their base, but many of those will make it to the end of the war.

The average casualty rate was 8% per mission. You had to fly 25 mission. The crew did some quick math and 25 times 8% is 200% chance of getting shot down. The odds were not good.

That's not how statistics work, the chance of completing a 25 mission tour with 8% casualty rate is 0.92 multiplied by itself twenty-five times which is a little under one in eight. But also the 8% stat is averaged over the whole span of the USAAF's time in the European Theater. At this stage of 1943 it was actually considerably higher than that; double digits at a minimum; making the chance of surviving a complete tour around 4%, which is why it was such a big PR deal to show off the crews that made it.

12 crews our of 35. 10 per crew. 230 men lost. 13 our of 24, 210 lost. 440 gone 2 missions.

In the 30s, Germany had a big campaign to invite German emigrants to move back to Germany, which was based on the same ideology as annexing German-majority regions in neighboring countries into the German state. One Germany for all Germans. Those who were born and raised in other countries would be indistinguishable from actual soldiers of those countries. Especially with Americans, where German-Americans make up the largest population group. Makes sense for resistance groups to screen supposed Allied soldiers extremely carefully before showing them anything about their organizations.

German ace Erich Hartmann had 352 kills, but who's going to train the new guys better then an Ace pilot. Thats why the German & Japanese replacement pilots generally didn't last long.

This season is only 9 episodes long so your half way through this season only 5 episodes left

Day-Month-Year is English. German is Year-Month-Day.

Don’t compare us pilots to vegans 😂

Clunky dialogue in this show. Ain't no BOB

This show is just so boring back on the ground, no character development.

I think it is hard to develop characters when they get killed so quick. On BoB, all of the soldiers that were awarded medals for the assault on Brecourt Manor, lived to see the war end. With the casualty rate so high and fast in MotA, we will probably only get to see a few.
