My favourite is when he hears about an article about the Germans being read by another soldier and turns to Perconte and says so sarcastically, "Hey Frank, this guy over hear is reading an article that says the Germans....are BAD!" Lmao..like a year into war with them. Just always cracked me up because I felt like it really made his personality and character shine.
“Don’t give me any orders we’re not in the army anymore” lmao that’s freaking great. Luz has always been one of the men of easy company to fascinate me. All of the men of Easy were just something else entirely you know, a different time for sure but something about Luz his charisma and fun personality it’s still amazes me that 1600 people showed up to his funeral.
Before my veteran father passed away, I had the opportunity to sit with him and watch the full DVD set of "Band of Brothers". He was never a man to spout effusive praises about anything, but he was truly impressed with every facet of this series. Occasionally he would share some of the experiences he'd had with his own Band. Watching this with him over the course of a few days, and making one of his favorite meals for him, probably did more for our relationship than any other experience we'd had prior to it.

Beautiful what a wonderful memory to have
I was at a Marine Corps Ball... and i met Babe Hefron in in an elevator who was in a hotel for a reunion. best day EVER
I have a dear friend who’s father fought in WW2 at the Battle of the Bulge and others. When my friend was a youngster and in the scouts, his Dad would never go camping with him. When he asked his Dad why, his Dad (who was a saint and very soft spoken man, I was blessed to have met him a few times) said, “Son, I had all the sleeping on the ground I ever wanted in Europe.” That was the end of it. And he was absolutely a family man and loving Father.

Not sure if that's something common picked up by veterans, or an actual quote from someone that people keep repeating, but I've heard that exact line word for word so many times from so many people.
I’m constantly blown away by how well the casting director did, to find actors to encompass the look and personalities of the soldiers that they portrayed. Maybe the highest quality television of all time.

I think it undoubtedly is the greatest of all time. It will never be made again, it couldn’t in our current climate. There isn’t a single black soldier in the entire show, which is 100% factual for easy company during the war. But tv and movie makers today would make sure that George Luz was black and Winters was a white woman. Around the time it was released the ball was already in motion. Bit of a tangent, I just mourn the loss of what could have been.

Sobel strikes me as a good trainer but lacking in interpersonal skills. He kinda reminds me of me actually. An introvert who if they are comfortable around you they won’t shut up but gets flustered easily when placed into tough situations with unfamiliar people. And to have to be put into a command position in charge of a bunch of well trained and bored enlisted men must have been it’s own special brand of hell for an introvert! From that point of view I can better relate to sobel!

Iraq combat veteran here. The bonds these fellas made are special. I can vouch for it. I’ll concede the stuff I went through wasn’t as bad as ww2, some of that stuff was absolutely awful. I was in combat for about 5 months of my 12 months overseas but when I was back in Kuwait on base, had internet, food places and a store. These guys had nothing close to those pleasures. They endured horrible conditions. Both wars have their moments and I love the guys I deployed with. Can truly understand why these guys had Reunions, we did also with my unit. Solid stuff seeing these guys reminisce. This series is my favorite, tv or movies, doesn’t matter. Nothing beats band of bothers. I watch it once a year at least and I learn something new every time. We wouldn’t have our freedom today without ww2 veterans, truly grateful.

It's important to also not to forget the contribution of the Red Army as the West is erasing them from memorials etc. It is the Red Army that captured and destroyed 3.000.000 SS and nazi veterans eith battle experience before the West landed on Normandy. By the time DDay arrived, the Germans where already losing the war. Im not downplaying anything, but we nust honor bot the heroes of the East and the West.

For what it is worth, the Navy has the same connection. OEF/OIF put a bunch of young men in tight quarters, made them work under extreme conditions for dozens of hours at a time. We ate, shit showered and shaved together for months. It isn't combat but it is war.
This is great. Thanks guys. My grandfather was a gunner in a Lancaster bomber. An Australian named Bob Figgis. Did 46 flights and then was shot down and captured by the Germans. Spent 12 months in a prisoner of war camp and was busted out eventually by the Americans. Means a lot to listen to even the children of these immensely brave men. Our freedom should be cherished & fought for. Even with words

9:21 From George's perspective he was solo. Alone in enemy territory. Little did anyone realize until much later thst the extreme discipline of the airborne infantry caused their regrouping efforts to appear to the Germans to be a far larger invasion force than it actually was. From insertion organization disintegrating came a mirage that fooled them all, courtesy of how well trained and motivated the airborne troopers were. Truly astounding work by all of them.
As an Ex British Para, I love your Para Baseball Cap, with the Pegasus emblem :) Much love & respect guys :)
I know his son and the best way I can describe them is the way his dad was portrayed in the series, that's exactly who he is in real life 🙂 My Grandfather Infantrymen and his Dad a Paratrooper both fought in Normandy, and both survived the war but sadly both passed away a decade a part. To me it's the Normandy Invasion that brought us together and if my Grandfather Pfc. Edward James Johnson of the 29th Infantry Division and his Dad Sgt. George Luz of the 101st Airborne crossed paths, they would've been best of friends 🙂
I love that George is carrying the torch for the guys who are all sadly no longer with us. Hopefully we've got a few more years of stories from people like him, Eugene Guarnere and Kerry Tipper (who's only in her 30's!!!) along with all of the great work from Grandkids like Chris Langlois.
The actors meeting and learning the guys is fabulous, they must have been so proud. That's what makes the performances so great, and what makes Band of Brothers so special.
Thank you George Lutz for a great tribute to your dad
B.O.B was a Stellar production! I watch the DVD'S once a year. It keeps me grateful for the freedom I enjoy because of the service and sacrifice of my father's generation. Lest We Forget 💖
Thanks for this video, Mark. My father also fought in WWII. He was with the 5th Marines in the South Pacific. As many of the WWII vets he didn't talk much about combat, but did tell me a few story's. Some funny, some not so much. I lost my dad in 1992 . He was my hero, my friend and mentor. I heard in your video about the WWII monument in DC, I had the chance to visit the monument once, and when I got to the South Pacific section, I lost it. I don't know if the tears were happy or sad, but I do know the pride I felt knowing that finally those men and women who gave so much were recognized for their sacrifice, both living and dead.

True, but Rick Gomez did a fantastic job as Luz.
His dad was meant to come home....my Uncle Bill Robinson parachuted into Normandy on D-Day with the 82nd Airborne near St. Mere Eglise. He also mentioned tracer fire coming up all around them as they came down and hearing men screaming in their chutes. He also mentioned seeing body parts of soldiers stuck in the trees of the men hit as they came down...how any of these men made it home is a miracle.
George, I too was fortunate to have a father that was able to share at lest some of his combat experiences with me. My dad was a Marine that drove a tank on Iwo Jima. So thankful that he could share. I also met his friends at reunions that started in 1965.
My dad fought in the Pacific. He wouldn’t talk about it, until I was near graduation. I was his youngest son.
My uncle James Owens fought in the Ardennes Offensive all the way into Germany. The only souvenirs he brought home to my knowledge was a German wife and as many of her porcelain dolls and a handmade clock and their first son James Jimmy. They're all gone now including both of their sons.
As a veteran of the 101st Airborne, a lover of military history (because it is the great changer in history) and a lover of the show and men of Bamd of Brothers, I really appreciate sharing these insights. My first marriage was within eyesight and walking distance of the Toccoa camp where they trained for this tremendous endeavor.
I just watched Band of Brothers for the first time recently. These men deserve more than two days--Memorial Day and Veteran's Day. They I hope to be able to honor them with how I live my life. Thank you and all those who have served or who are serving. RIP fellas.
I also grew up in Providence, In the west end in the shadow of the Cranston St. Armory. To see a hometown boy make good is really gratifying. Please keep up the good work. I will be watching!
I was a visual effects artist on BOB. The shot at 21:25 when Luz is crawling towards Muck and Penkala and they get hit.... I did that shot. I was proud of my work and thats all I saw....until that scene came on, watching at home as it was broadcast. I left the room, went to the kitchen, slumped to the floor and wept for 30 minutes. I'm welling up now just writing this. To me at first, it was a cool gig... but the series worked itself deeper into me as I got to see the final results and learned about the 'characters' who were now real people to me. CURRAHEE

9:33 Luz describes how he could see the Navy shells fly through the air. When I was in high school, my friend invited me to carpool with him and his cousin. We would pickup his cousin’s dad on the way home. Mr. Rendon was at Omaha Beach on D-Day. He told us a few stories of his war experiences. He too described how they hid behind the sea wall waiting for the Navy bombardment to end before advancing and watching the 16” shells fly through the air.
Awesome video. As a former paratrooper from the 82nd we were pretty much required to learn the exploits of our forefathers so to speak. Every year we had a division convention which was a reunion of ww2 and some ww1 (not many though) vets. Quite a few from other divisions (most previously served in the 82nd). Because of this it peaked my interest in all their exploits. As an 82nd guy we harassed 101st guys constantly but most definitely gave a lot of respect to the ww2 and Vietnam vets of the 101st. I may have met some Easy company vets in Valley Forge PA during one such convention
My dad fought in the Pacific during WWII. He won several medals (I knew nothing about them until he was in the hospital with a brain tumor) but never spoke about anything that happened. He told me where he fought ( New Guinea, Guam, Guadalcanal) but nothing about the battles themselves. My dad was the most honest, humble man I’ve ever met. It absolutely destroyed me that, on his deathbed, he was absolutely terrified. He was crying to Jesus for Him to not send him to hell, for the things he had to do during the war. It was absolutely heart wrenching to watch

"Well that dog just won't hunt!" is one of my favorite quotes in history. George Luz was a big ol heart, you could see it in his eyes. Thank you for sharing him with us. ❤
My dad was a B-17 pilot in WW II. He was shot down on July 26, 1943 on his 3rd mission, and spent the rest of the war in Stalag Luft III and Stalag VIIA. He never talked about any of his experiences except that he told me that the movie "12 O'clock High" was representative of his experience, and that the fictional novel "I Must be Dead" was an accurate description of his life as a POW. After extensive research in both US and German records, I know that flak killed There were other small hints. He told me that when he arrived at Stalag Luft III, the South Camp for the American officer aircrew wasn't yet finished and so he was placed in North Camp with the British. While there he said that he supported the Great Escape with tunnels Tom, Dick, and Harry. He didn't say what role he played, but as a Yank, my best guess is that he was a lookout for a short period of time. Today I feel like a total moron for not having the sense to ask my dad about his experiences. Instead, I had to spend years of research to discover what he didn't tell me. It was decades before I found an organization that had all of the documentation on most of the POW's. What I learned about my dad shocked me about what he went through. He died on active duty in 1971 at age 51, and he is buried in Arlington Cemetery. My mother died 31 years later and is buried with him. I served 21 years in the US Marine Corps as an infantry officer with 3 years in combat. I hope my dad is proud of my in heaven. And my mom was the greatest. I don't thin any kid could had better parents that I had.

Exactly. His role was actually a very good portrayal of a soldier being literally lost, blinded and shellshocked by the terrors of war but was still able to get back on track. No soldier should ever be condemned for feeling the terrors of war and hesitates to fight at some point or another. That's why I admire how Major Winters and Lieutenant Lipton never shows contempt but instead shows compassion and understanding to those soldiers wounded not only physically but emotionally.

By continuing to tell their stories, you inspire the next generations to follow their leadership in how to be a man in this world. To see that young man sitting on the right stool towards the end demonstrates the need to continue to tell their stories as it draws the young men in to see how it's done so they continue the story into the future. Well done!

Your stories are a treasure to me now. Thank you young George for sharing these great stories from your Dad that he shared with you. Thank you show much !!! God bless you Joe P
Ty for letting us into the life of your dads life. I was always interested in WW2 but when Band of Brothers came out it really set a deep sense of pride and love and respect for the 501st if it wasn't for the men and women who defended this world for freedom the movie and these videos on KZread made me really feel like I knew them and I thank them and all who served and gave all to protect my freedom and my way of life I get tears in my eyes thinking about what they have done thank you again for showing this video
Excellent video. I have read every one of the band of brothers books and I have to tell you that this video certainly provided a lot of background information that any of these books or the television series had. Great job
Such great stories about Luz specially the fence one being true! Thanks for sharing,all!
This was an excellent watch, glad the youtube algorithm still shows me smaller channels like this. Cheers, mate!
