The shelling scenes in breaking point are genuinely terrifying to watch. You really got the sense and understanding that no one was safe, these guys we have been following for near 7 episodes could die at any second. All this happened, no plot armour for characters

Crawling to the foxhole you would’ve died in with your brothers… Savage

Man, when I watched this scene as it first aired, I couldn't believe what I had seen. It took me a minute to process it because it was so quick. I was literally like "wait where did they go? Did they duck down at the last second?" But the way Muck & Penkala's voices just cut off mid-scream is brutal & takes you completely by surprise which is how it was for them in real life. It's not like some TV fictional drama where they foreshadow a character's death. Most of the deaths in Band of Brothers are literally rapid-fire where one minute someone is talking or doing something and the next, they are gone save for a few like Hoobler and Jackson who lingered for a few moments. I think Muck & Penkaka's deaths hit so hard because we really got to know them, particularly Muck who seemed like a funny and nice guy. My great-aunt is actually from Muck's hometown Tonawonda. I asked her once if she knew him and while she didn't know him personally, she knew of the family and said they were good people. RIP to Muck, Penkala and all the men of Easy company.

When I watched this the first time, I was speechless, I like Penkala a lot

What is being done to this country by the current regime makes me weep for all of the sacrifices our vets have made. I pray we the people regain the country this year.

This series and the real people explaining their experiences is now deeply in my soul

Those foxholes were shallow

The Real Babe Heffron told the Actor playing Skip Muck. "I was there when you bit it."

Man i was so scared Luz was gonna buy it here.

When I first watch that scene was real shocking

What the 101st went through was like a normal day in WW1. That’s kind of trauma is too much for anyone. The men who made it through WW1 and WW2 defined a generation and sacrificed way too much

This scene made my jaw hit the floor. I hadn't read the book, so I expected that if anyone were to die, Luz would. But to see both Muck and Penkala taken out in one swift blow...in a fraction of a second, they just disappear. I was crying, I'm not gonna lie.

When I saw this when it premiered I literally jumped back in my seat. It was shocking to see that happen.

I marched Spirit in 2008 and from their demeanor at their first lot I knew phantom was winning in 08. The way the entire corps carried themselves. The way they performed all season long. Only the judges could have gifted BD that win to take what was rightfully phantoms all season long. Such an inspiration for my rookie year of DCI. I will never forgot that finals performance at University of Indiana

UNFORGETTABLE! ICONIC! Phantom Regiment 4ever ❤️❤️❤️

George must have had a legion of angels protecting to go through all he did without a scratch. Or his sense of humor made bullets and shrapnel stop and fall down laughing.

Best modern day show IMO.

Muck never even lived past 1945. Yet was still one of the most memorable in the series.

Years afterward, Donald Malarkey, who was best friends with Skip Muck, could barely mention his name without getting choked up. The series does a good job of showing just how badly Muck's death affected Malarkey.

"George Luz, you have never been hit. You are one lucky bastard." "Takes one to know one, Skip." That line is way sadder after this scene

Rewatching the series when it comes to Muck and Penkala is so much more upsetting and foreboding knowing what happened to them. Seeing how they were the guys who generally seemed like the more funner and well liked in the group. Losing anyone is hard but losing anyone who provides an uplift in morale is even harder

I have deployed and you have two things that helps your buddies and comedy. If I had to pick one to always, always be with me, I am going with the buddies, we can laugh when we all go home.

I saw a video of the trench where they died in that forest, the visitors let them some flowers and letters. there is a plate with both of names

Great scene. The devastation George must’ve felt after that, god, it’s making me sad just thinking about it

I can't imagine how Luz would have felt witnessing that. Literally the last thing Muck said was his name, seconds before being blown to nothing :/ everyone of them are heroes.

Losing Skip in this scene always breaks my heart every time. What a wonderful man he was, literal human sunshine. We should all try to be more like him.

I think those bombshells were a lot deadlier than the ones that took out Toye and Gaurnere legs

Thank you!!

Another perfect example of how hellish and scary war is

Only the dead have seen the end of war.

this scene is scarier than most horror movies. true horror is imagining living through artillery strikes seeing your best friends wiped off the face of the earth.

god this show was brutal. people died when you saw it coming ten minutes away, and people died like this, instantly and with no warning. I guess thats how war is. just absolutely unpredictable and absolutely brutal.

I always thought they were called Pik and Pinkala, but now I see I was wrong for 20 years!

Fix the sound. Awful

The smooth freon prenatally flow because pump bodily explain midst a mellow eye. jumbled, encouraging newsstand

Who laughed 🤣 I sure did afterwards 🤣 😊

Bastogne is the best episode of the series. I like that it used Doc Roe as the conduit of narration as it gave you a different point of view yet it allows us to be an intimate observer. It showed the ebb & flow of the war & indeed of life as things drifted between the catastrophic artillery strikes & intimate personal conversations between the guys. Also, the little side story of Roe & the nurse connecting gave you an extra emotional link to the story. Such a great episode. Action packed & intense but those little intimate personal moments here & there in the episode gave it so much depth & power.

Infantry weapons from the 9mil sidearm to your 5.56 mike mike carbine to the seven 62 crew serves like an M249 can be like farts. Fast, loud, heinous & painful or awful, silent & deadly. They can kill instantly or wound you enough to make it a drawn out expiration where you feel so cold due to blood loss that you feel your life force insidiously wither away. As an armor crewman veterans a 120mike mike main gun kinetic energy sabot round of depleted uranium scares the hell out of me. The M829A2 tactical DU sabot round travels some 1,780mps. The dart like round’s density is so heavy & travelling at such a high velocity that it punches through inches of hardened rolled homogenous armor & varying layers of armored layers that it creates a shrapnel storm of pieces from inside the armor called spall as well as being followed by the DU round itself. When you seen tank armor cutouts that have kinetic energy round holes in it, it boggles the mind. You wonder how a small aerodynamic dense round can travel so fast with so much force that it could poke a hole into steel armor like it was a hot piece of a coat hanger being stuck in a stick of butter. Conversely chemical energy rounds like HEAT rounds travel like 600mps slower than sabot rounds. A HEAT round looks clunky. It’s not an aerodynamic dart like a sabot round. The HEAT round is the same diameter as the bore of the 120mm maim gun except for the leading standoff spike at the front of the round which is narrower. It’s way less aerodynamic & of course, again, slower. When that spike hit’s armor it triggers the fuse of the shaped chemical energy charge in the round. It’s not like the KE rounds. When the HEAT round explodes it’s firing a small jet plume of the shaped charge that is the diameter of a pencil at traveling at something like 14,000mps of explosive chemical energy. Tye charge liquifies all the armor & metal in it’s path so it’s basically a fast lava beam of death that burns, ignites & liquifies all the armor, fuels & ammo in its path. One is kinetic & one is chemical. Pretty much instantaneous death. Unnerving. Artillery can be massive & potent. It can be in the form of mortars, MLRS or big ass arty rounds. Some of the advanced timed fuse artillery rounds can do some nasty nasty things. Out in the open or in a foxhole with marginal cover & armor protection any hit nearby by a 155 mike mike arty round would be faster than any tank round. Those rounds can blow craters into the earth & punch through hardened reinforced concrete. The possibility of getting shredded by a scalding hot piece of shrapnel is probably the slow & paimful death of nightmares most would hate to suffer through. Arty rounds don’t wven have to be close to a direct hit as their area effects are catastrophic. It’d be way worse than the Lulz foxhole. There’d be a crater, pieces of shrapnel & everything else would be vaporized. Thats the sad part. There would be no extant remains to bury outside of incidental crater earth that may have some grisly & ghoulish vestiges. Man, that’s graphic. It’s creepy to think about. WW2 dawned the era of fast & lethal modern warfare that brought in new tactics & technology. Killing capacity & efficiency gained exponential capabilities in magnitude & scope. These new combined arms principles harkened in during WW2 are still fundamentally the same. Using asymmetrical warfare operators behind enemies lines disrupt things at first. Arty & air power soften up the enemy. Armor & infantry bum rush in with pincers movements to slice & diced the enemy groups like a pizza where the combined arms divy up the slices & feast on the disarrayed enemy. New texhnology & weapons have just improved the speed, precision & lethality. Hell, we can shoot you from an Abrams 4000 meters away where all you see is some little target on your little screen until it isn’t there any more. You don’t see the eyes or the person. At 4000meters even a 7meter long vehicle looks like a little Hotwheels car even in an advanced high powered scope. It has increased the distance between combatants where you don’t see the awfulness & devastating affects of modern warfare. It’s like a video game that sanitizes all the horrific devastation & desensitizes us. Compare it back to ancient times like during the Roman Empire where you had to get face to face with your enemy & use immense strength to drive your gladius into your enemy. You felt all the hits & resistance of the body’s flesh & bones. You had to hear the screams & felt all the blood splatter. It was up close & personal. Now you just laser range find to the target & pull the trigger. “On the way!” “Target.” “Hit! Tango down.” No hint of death except maybe the Intense smoke plumes & fire visible in your thermal sight.” Heh. Modern weaponry is both amazing & horrifying. What a grisly rant of weaponry. I think I’d want to get it from the arty. Infantry small arms fire can maim & wound where you suffering a long time before you go. A tank round can be catastrophic to the point where you wouldn’t even know what hit you. But some armor is good enough where you could survive a severe hit & get part of you blown off & like small arms fire, suffer a long time. Artillery is massive & devastating. With a direct hit like that, you wouldn’t even be able to comprehend the nanosecond of time needed to take it in to understand things before you were vaporized like dust in the wind. B Stuff like this is happened in Ukraine. Thoughts & prayers to the Ukrainians suffering from the invasion. RIP to those who have died. Condolences to those who have lost loved ones & to those who are wounded or suffering. Humans just can’t even stop engaging in wars. Russia is the aggressor & shame on their illegal invasion & wartime atrocities that are devastating a sovereign land. Nonetheless, they are still people & humans. RIP to any of those that have perished fighting for their Billionaire dictator. Hopefully the fighting can end soon & a peace agreement can be reached.

The thing is, with a non discriminate ariel shelling of that magnitude, those guys were no safer in a foxhole than they would have been out in the open, it was just down to luck, with tree bursts you could have been severely or terminally injured by trees splintering.

Do you think the Germans zeroed in on them because of luz’s cig ember?

Thank you for posting this, what an amazing show!! 🙏😁

If I’m gonna die in a war…… that’s the way I wanna go. You blink and you’re gone.

Apparently it was even worse than this in real life. They were literally disintegrated and turned into red mush all over the snow.

Watching this the first time Muck getting wasted is probably the most painful moment of the show up to that point.

in an alternate universe Muck and Penkala got out of their foxhole to help Luz and didn't die

I was a marine in Vietnam and the same thing happens to me except I survived

When I’m playing Hell Let Loose as artillery this is how I envision the battlefield.

For those that don't believe PTSD is real..... watch this video a few times.... Now, imagine that's two of your family in that hole............. now you get it

I know George Luz Jr. and tell you.. the best way to describe him.. the way his Dad was portrayed in the series.., that's who George Luz Jr. is 🖒
