Part 2 of this would be The Pacific. Most feel it's very good but not quit as good as this. However, it is actually more brutal. You see how the war affected the troops much more in The Pacific. Hanks and Spielberg also did it. Part 3 just came out this year. it's about the Air Force but it is on some obscure channel I don't want to pay for.
I had the same reaction to this scene you both had. When winters sees spears and orders him to take over such a amazing scene and a lot of BoB reactions I’ve seen don’t capture it like you two. Love the content keep it up 😊 19:46
Landsburg concentration camp was a satellite work camp. A portion of it still stands - a memorial to those who died there.
They were told...but I think it was A REAL SHOCK to see it 1st time. General Eishenhower (who later became a US President) had the media film the Concentration camps...for proof, so that NO one would say it was made up!!!
It's a war crime to shoot medics, that's why they had a big cross on helmets. However, Germans and Japanese always shot at medics anyways.
Great reactions! Thanks for including us on the journey! I also want to encourage you to react to We Stand Alone Together, the “Episode 11” of the show. Ties the whole thing together, and a lot more of the real Easy Co men in interviews.
Webster was actually welcomed back, not treated like they show it. He was not on the mission, he manned the 50cal. on the bank.
Shnindler's List seems a must-see. Also, The Pacific.
Actually, there were orders from the camp commanders and from german high command for the guards, to kill as many jews as possible before leaving the camp. Some guards may have done it without order, but yes, there were oders.
Don't know if anyone else has addressed this, but the closed captioning repeatedly misspelled "sulfa" as "sulfer." Sulfa was the predominant battlefield antibiotic used in World War Two (that white powder they sprinkle on a wound). Penicillin was fairly new and in short supply back then.
The reason the farmer's daughter was looking at Bull like that was likely because she had never witnessed violence and death firsthand before. I'm guessing her look was a mixture of gratitude for protecting them and terror at being so close to someone capable of such brutality.
As a german, I tear up every time I watch this episode. For many decades after the war, there was no right-wing-party within the german parliament, so I think many germans learned their lesson. Sadly since 2017 there is a new right-wing-party in the parliament with growing support inside german socity (still "only" around 15%, thank god), so I'm worried for the future.
Sorry you didn't think the prisoners were "skinny enough". The majority of the inmates were, in fact, played by cancer sufferers- many of them did not Iive long enough to see the finished program.
The Western Allies were not informed of the scope of the atrocities for fear that their soldiers wouldn't conduct vengeance acts against the Germans
The Russians were the ones who started finding the camps first, and until this point in the war roughly the allies refused to believe it thinking it was Soviet propaganda. Eisenhorn and General Patton went to a camp called Buchenwald and it was so horrific that General George Patton threw up. The western allies didn’t believe in the camps until they say them themselves
When I see this, beyond words....... How the Nazis treated the Jews and others....When I see this, I too am Jewish in spirit. My youngest daughter is now almost 12. I am teaching her about the Holocaust. She asked me why. I said, so the world NEVER forgets this evil. Again, she asked why? I told her those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
People "at the top" had a pretty good idea of what was going on from intelligence reports and at least one escapee who gave very detailed information. To the best of my recollection from what I have read over the years the leadership did not share this information with anyone down the chain of command and considered ending the war sooner was the best approach. The front-line troops did not know until they started to find the camps. The 101st did not find this camp, an Armored Division did. But the 101st visited the camp the next day. They ascribed the discovery of the camp to Easy Company because it fit the narrative of the mini-series better.
Please release "We Stand Alone Together". I so want to see your reaction to the identities of the veterans, and also to see how they stayed together for decades.
There were a lot of sub-camps for every large camp. They numbered in the dozens and dozens. A lot of the actors portraying the Jews were cancer patients who volunteered to play the parts. If you look at pictures of the survivors taken shortly after they were liberated there were some who didn't look that bad. I hate to bring it up, but there were the capos, etc. just as in the ghettoes there had been Jewish police. I just have been watching some of the survivor testimonies and they discuss it at length. As for whether the regular soldiers knew, no they didn't. The group which liberated Dachau was so horrified and incensed that some of them shot and killed the SS men who had been manning it. They were arrested, but General Patton stopped the prosecution.
You shouldn't be blamed for what you government started. You can hate the brass (The leadership) but love the soldier. Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam, The US has been in many wars and while I don't agree with them you shouldn't blame civilians or even the soldiers. This war is no doubt personal to y'all. And I respect we may have different views on it. For as long as you are against the death of people soldier or civilian I'll respect you and your opinions.
That last episode is pretty emotional.
"Spiers is gonna take it(the violin)" Shit, that made me laugh. 😂👏🏻
Bull Randleman was portrayed as the toughest man in a company of very tough men. When Winters arrived he was squatting with his back to the fence. He couldn't bear to even look at it.
The actors who played the men of Easy Company have said many times how these roles changed their lives, and themselves, for the better. To that end they maintain their bond of comradeship. They have their own reunions and have said they feel it is their duty to keep the memory of Easy Company alive. A group of them recently made a C-47 parachute drop at the 80th anniversary of D-Day in Normandy. They even trained in the city of Toccoa for it.
Moroccan follower here. I really like your channel! Good luck for the rest of your journey
Great reactions to the entire series! I enjoyed all of them. It's very interesting seeing reactions from a different point of view.
Very few people knew about the camps. Jews inside Germany managed to get some word of the camps out to relatives in other countries, and stories about the camps did make it to America. The President and many in Army Intelligence were aware of the stories. Most of the stories were dismissed as war-time propaganda. After all, the U.S. had camps where we interred Japanese Americans and while conditions in Manzanar and other American camps weren't exactly great, they weren't death camps. In any event, while some Jewish communities in the U.S. had some incomplete information about the camps, most of the U.S. soldiers had absolutely no idea that they existed until they happened to stumble across them. The camp that Easy Company stumbled into was one of about a dozen sub-camps that were part of the Dachau concentration camp system. The prisoners in these sub-camps were basically used for slave labor, with an emphasis on getting as much work out of the prisoners for as little money as possible. The prisoners were basically worked to death. They were not given adequate food. The huts they lived in weren't adequate for the weather conditions. The prisoners mixed and hauled concrete for use in bunkers, railway reinforcements, etc. Some of those bunkers were used to protect the development and construction of the German Me262, the world's first operational jet fighter. When Easy Company liberated the camp, the prisoners were so malnourished and ridden with disease that only about half of them were even capable of working.
Would really love you to react to Downfall, The Final Days (Sophie Scholl), Das Boot oder even "Die Brücke (The Brigde)"
The story goes that when Col Sink was being briefed by Spears on the shooting, Col Sink said he would have shot the bastard. Great reaction to my favorite series of all time. I need to go back to Toccoa and visit the 101st Airborne museum again.
Too bad their Israeli grandkids forgot about "Never Again!" and instead made it "Let's Do It Again!"
The Allies high command(the generals and the leaders like the Presdent and the Prime Minister) knew as Allied Intelligence had received reports from people who had escaped. the average soldier only heard rumours till the troops got into Germany and started finding Camps. The high level leadership was worried that if the Troops knew that they would refuse to accept any German soldiers attempt to surrender. This episode depicts the 101st airbornes liberation of Kauefering IV a work camp. The SS guards had escaped before the American troops got there. When several American infantry (the 42nd infantry, division , the 45th infantry division and the 20th armoured division) units found Dachau they captured between 35-50 guards. These American units had discovered train cars full of corpses as well as the evidence of a forced death march that some the SS guards had used to kill 7000 prisoners. The american troops where do shocked and angered that they allowed the Jewish survivors to kill the guards and some of the soldiers even joined in helping the prisoners kill the SS. Guards. Additionally some American, British, Free Polish and Canadian units started to have unofficial "paratrooper orders" after the SS and German paratroopers had massacred Allied troops who had tried to surrender in Belgium. These units refused to accept surrender for German SS units or Paratrooper units instead executing them. This practice briefly became more widespread among allied troops after the truth of the camps was discovered until the allied officers made a concentrated effort to put a stop to it by threatening court martials(brining the troops up on legal charges that could mean prison or even death sentences) if it continued.
Speir was born in Scotland, Edinburgh.
So excited to see your "Life is Beautiful" reaction!
I leave a comment just because I'm happy you notice the fact that the general talking to his man is just an army officer, and not a nazi (a**hole) officer. He just do what he have to to protect his country. And for the one who give his pistol for surrendering, I think what he mean by "... when their would be no more war to occupy us", is that when you saw battle, and become a soldier, when it's end, you can't think of any thing else you could do, like if the civilan version of you doesn't exist anymore and forever. It's a tough time to reconnect with this kind of life.
23:05 Just a clarification, Grant said "Mac" not "Muck." Although that wasn't his name either. "Mac" back then was a slang term used to refer to anyone (usually people you weren't familiar with). So it's like saying "hey buddy" or "hey pal," but instead of "buddy" or "pal" they say "mac."
Bob - excellent war tv show. If you do not have like patreon, or vote. Consider Generation kill. Hbo miniseries, 7 thingies. Also like watch something else. Not just like traumatazing stuff.
I would love to see you react to the animated movie The Prince of Egypt from dreamwork's. That is in my opinion the best version of the story of exodus and Moses that has ever been done.
Hot take: if you sleep with the enemy who invaded your country, its on you. Obviously many women were forced, but theres NO WAY all of them were forced. That's ridiculous to imply. There were also many situations were its grey area, i acknowledge that. A woman catches the eye if an occupying soldier, and shes not interested, but he is, yes i get it. The women who choose to though, thats who i am talking about.
There is a wonderful photo, easily found with a Google search, of Nix, barely awake and sitting up in bed, the morning after they raided Göring’s wine cellar.
While i appreciate the extra effort, i still have NO IDEA what those names were that you said... sorry, but gotta get that spelled out! Just never heard them before 😅
I've had the honor of meeting and talking with a number of WW2 veterans over the years. Most were American. A few Canadians and British, and a couple of Germans. My grandfather served as a Navy Seabee. Basically, he was a combat engineer during amphibious landings against Japanese-held positions. It was his second enlistment. He was 36 at the time of the Pearl Harbor attack, and didn't come home until October, 1945. It was no coincidence that my mother was born in July, 1946. As a child, I had a neighbor who was a Scottish immigrant to the US. He was also one of The Few to whom so much was owed by so many - an RAF fighter pilot and veteran of The Battle of Britain. He had seven confirmed aerial victories, then later transitioned to ground attack aircraft. He was shot down three times. The third time, he was captured by German troops and became a prisoner of war until his liberation by Patton's Third Army. He was so indebted to his American liberators and fellow prisoners, that he chose to spend his life in the US as a naturalized citizen. I feel quite fortunate to have met these men before they left us.
Amazing journey! Thank you for allowing us to join you on this walk-through. It's an amazing show and depiction of these men. Well done!
To you guys, not everyone in the US has sided with the terrorists
I cannot count the number of times I've seen the ending, and listening to Winter's voice break gets me every time.
Thank you so much I've really enjoyed watching your reactions to this series. Blessings from the UK
Remember Sobel didn't salute Winters in the 1st episode when he lost E company. Winters got his salute.😁
You should read about Babe Heffron and Bill Garnuar. They stayed friends in Philadelphia And they past not along ago and only a few months apart.
Please do watch the Pacific and after that Generation Kill
It was a pleasure riding along with you on this trip, thanks for watching and reacting!
The BEST miniseries EVER made..
