I absolutely love this HBO series. All the actors do a great job portraying these men. We owe alot to the real men the sacrifices they made for freedom. Thank you.
Ronald Spiers was the easiest to identify (minus Winters since he basically is the one who made Easy Company famous). That cold stare, badass smile, and always straight to the point.
David Webster's memoirs (excellent read-audiobook!!) was a big part of how they got discovered and provided content for Dramatic retelling. He never volunteered for anything extra but he didn't ever let his comrades down.
Not only him! ... but the courage of Harry Welsh was extraordinary, his decisions and his determination in many difficult and punctual moments were decisive for the survival of whole easy company.

The age of soldiers and what they accomplish at those young ages is humbling. From this to Vietnam, but even older wars In the film Zulu the colour Sergeant who holds everyone together is portrayed as a veteran soldier probably in his late 40s early 50s, in reality he was 24.
Went to Normandy a couple of years ago and at one museum was an exhibit about Ben Vandervoot. At the age of 27, the guy was leading a battalion of the 82nd when he jumped on DDay. I’m 27 now. I can’t even imagine. Those guys were real men
They really were a product of their times. The Great Depression was probably the bigger motivating factor in their maturity. Also there was a greater expectation from society of young men back then. Since the 1970's and the elimination of the draft the age of adolescence has been extended into people's 20's. I too am in awe of what these men did at such young ages!
I wish they had covered a little more on Joe Liesnewski in the series. He was selected to work for the intelligence agency because he was fluent in Polish and some German. I thought he would have been as good an interpreter as Liebgot at the concentration camp (although I really liked Liebgots character). I think some of those prisoners were speaking Polish (son carrying father).
Interesting. I didn't know about his intelligence work. A missed opportunity. Also, I consider this BofB's only casting mistake. I mean, it's so far off. Liesnewski was one handsome dude.
Yes! Truly they are kids buT they had balls and guts to go their, theY had my respect i owe something with them, that they dont have that after war.. What is that? My "FREEDOM"
Seemingly the depiction of Blythe is almost entirely fictional. A member of easy company gave a talk where he said Blythe did not hide for a day after the D-Day jump, Fought through ww2 and then went on to fight in both Korea and Vietnam. I wonder why the writers/producers did Blythe so dirty? Odd given they had access to members of easy company.
@@BG_Low I think you can get the Military to sponsor you if you are wanting to be a part if it and then they help with citizenship?? Not sure how it works.
The bit where Easy are pounded by 88s near Foy and Guarnere goes to fetch Toye... I mean, unless you're in that situation you don't know what you would do, but I can't imagine the pair of hard-diamond balls it must've taken to do that, with death filling the very air.
I would think that for anyone that clicked on this, that we all knew the names of their characters so why didn't they put something like Carwood Lipton as portrayed by 🤔.
Wow... the music does this show an injustice. It makes some of the show's darkest scenes seem like these jovial adventurous romps. This is by far one of the greatest miniseries/TV shows ever made, and this commercial makes it seem like it's Hogan's heroes with a bigger budget or something.
Best TV ever created? Either Band of Brothers or The Sopranos. Growing up in the 60's and 70's the TV choices were crap but the music was amazing. Now the TV choices are fantastic but the music is crap. Can't win.
Col. Ed Shames said without a doubt he was the most worthless drunk in the U.S Army. His parents had pull with the brass, but even that couldn't keep him out of getting demoted.
Hahaha Age 22 my ASS lol that actor is at LEAST in his late 30's, early 40's! 🤣 It's a Tobey McGuire Spider-Man situation, where an OBVIOUS 30 year old actor is playing a high school kid, even during their historic visit to the natural history museum, where Peter Parker is bitten by the radioactive spider, the actor portraying the teacher leading the field trip was famously younger than all of Peter Parker's classmates! 😂👍
Hell yeah, being critical of the present generation in comparison to a generation depicted in a Hollywood miniseries. No disrespect but does that sound kinda ignorant to you? I'm not saying either generation is perfect but those who went through world war one where critical of the roaring twenties who blamed certain generations for the great depression and so on and so on. I agree the generation that fought in ww2 was a bunch of bad ass, stone cold individuals who were fighting for pride and honour and freedom. But let's be real. People change, and the generations previous will always judge the present generation because they don't understand and don't want to compare they're similarities. Only the differences. We forget about the men and women today who give they're time, they're comfort and they're lives so we can continue to live in the freedom the generations before us fought for.
My son was with the 101st Airborne Screaming Eagles in Afghanistan where he received a Purple Heart.
Thank him for his service.

George Luz, class clown. Loved him in the series.
Are those dust on your jumpwings?
HOOOOW DO YOU INTEND TO SLAY THE HUNS WITH DUSTY JUUMPWIINGS!
WHAT IS THE GODDAMM HOLD UP MR SOBEL
He lives in the same city as me
He does a damn good Rhode Island accent too.
Winters said 1200 people attended his Funeral.
Rushing an MG and playing chicken with a tank... man Harry Welsh has got some balls.
Don’t forget starting a fire in a dell 😂
He's the only person who brave enough to say 'No' to Speirs, and then he react nothing. Really balls of steel
@@jawed4106 when was this?
@@Sustructy when they were looting the Eagle's Nest in Austria
Had back surgery and watch the whole series a few times and the pacific. Love this series.
I wish they made another mini series on another company. Cant have enough of these shows
Christ, the age of these men.
I think Perconte and Winters must have been one of the oldest, barely at the age of 27 and 26.
They are still older then me
My Grampa was 18 or 19 and a Corporal when they landed in France...By the time it was over, he was a SSGt through attrition.
Went to Normandy a couple of years ago and at one museum was an exhibit about Ben Vandervoot. At the age of 27, the guy was leading a battalion of the 82nd when he jumped on DDay.
I’m 27 now. I can’t even imagine. Those guys were real men
The actors all look older than the people they portray.
The music to the soldiers' TV spot is very beautiful. Thanks for uploading the TV Spots, I never knew that HBO made them.
This really helped me. I always forget who's who and it's the second time I'm watching
This is so beautiful!
Heroes, one and all! 💙
It’s crazy how much war matures a person! Most of these guys are around my age (21) and they give off vibes of today’s 30 year olds lmao

As my dad once said, "I went from a boy to a man overnight"
They're actores you idiot
@@user-hm3sd9ot2h dumbass
How many times do i have to see the BoB in order to say "enough"!!!!! Respect - and R.I.P - to those men
Wow they were all so young barely out of school. Brave young men rip. Great video
"in World War 2 the average age of the combat soldier was 26. In Vietnam he was 19..."
n n n n n n n n n nineteen
Good song, crap statistics. The average age of US combat servicemen in Vietnam var a little over 22.
I was nineteen when i joined Air Force during Viet Nan War.
Paul Hardcastle, right?
I have yet to see a TV show or movie that was better than this series.
Real heroes, every one of them.
all i had to do was watch this once, i already knew who everyone is, ive watched it a good 35 times.
I wish they had covered a little more on Joe Liesnewski in the series. He was selected to work for the intelligence agency because he was fluent in Polish and some German.

Also Speirs was from Edinburgh, Scotland. Him and his family moved to Boston, MA when he was young. Nixon was from New York.
There were no BOB without Malarkey.
21, 22, 25 my god they were just kids
I always knew they were young, but being that age, it's crazy to think someone as old as me went and did what they did
One of the Able Company guys they met in Normandy was barely 18.
@@Gruvmpy They were already men,nowdays 21 years old bloke IS a kid.
Yes! Truly they are kids buT they had balls and guts to go their, theY had my respect i owe something with them, that they dont have that after war.. What is that? My "FREEDOM"
@@ShadowMoon878 Pvt. Hall
Damn I miss these people.
So much character development
The song for Buck is also in Ron Livingston's video diary but I don't know the title..
Where's Sgt. Malarkey?
He went to Chicago - to work at County General...
Yeah, the way they did some of these spots was interesting. Malarkey was a big part in the movie and the book.

George Luz reminds me of young Gary Oldman
Does anybody know what the song is that plays during Buck Compton? It's also on the main menu for The Alamo (2004).
Also trying to find the music for the one on Bill Guanere.
I love Band of Brothers and the Pacific, great shows from HBO
Damn they are really young like in their early twenties. Meanwhile I, in late twenties haven't accomplished anything.
Get off the couch and go serve. It’s rewarding, but tough.
@@flynnzero9282 I would if I were a US citizen. In my country they need to offer lot of money in order to join the military.
@@BG_Low I think you can get the Military to sponsor you if you are wanting to be a part if it and then they help with citizenship?? Not sure how it works.
What is the name of the song that accompanies George Luz's montage? It's a beautiful and calming piece but I have no idea what it's called. :(
The bit where Easy are pounded by 88s near Foy and Guarnere goes to fetch Toye...
I mean, unless you're in that situation you don't know what you would do, but I can't imagine the pair of hard-diamond balls it must've taken to do that, with death filling the very air.
I thought Liebgott was born in 1915? Which would make him 29 when they jumped.
Not sure. I know they took liberties with Liebgott's character, combining other soldiers' stories into his.
Yeah. I remember his age difference with Webster was 7 years. Not so much here. He was one of the older guys in the company.
These actors are all way older than the people were.
True, but they still did a really good job portraying them
Dick Winters was 26... Holy shit.
I would think that for anyone that clicked on this, that we all knew the names of their characters so why didn't they put something like Carwood Lipton as portrayed by 🤔.
Fallon shows up
Spiers is awesome
What is the guarnere song?
The first part is from the last track of the BoB soundtrack I think. The second part I have no idea.
Indylimburg the second one was the one i was looking for. Thanks anyways
@@TheSapperEagles hopefully someone will respond with the answer for us someday.
@Indylimburg do you find it? (the song of buck)
+Jesús González No, I haven't! Do you know? I'd love to be able to add it to my library. It's pretty epic!
I know, its very awesome, i need it jeje

What episode is Hendrix in ?
I liked Harry Welsh; McGrath had balls made of steel
والله احلاكارو
Liebgot was not Jewish, he was a German Catholic.
A little more background would have been nice from the TV people...
Joseph Leibgott is my favourite of all time Ross McCall
If you like Ross McCall, he was in the Queen video for The Miracle and played Freddie. He was quite younger
Best TV ever created? Either Band of Brothers or The Sopranos. Growing up in the 60's and 70's the TV choices were crap but the music was amazing. Now the TV choices are fantastic but the music is crap. Can't win.
Why is Shifty wearing a white helmet?
He has a piece of white linen over his helmet. Many soldiers during the Battle of the Bulge used linens for camouflage.
@@Indylimburg Ah that explains it, also seems very practical. Especially for Shifty, considering he was one of their best snipers/shooters.
They all look older than they're actual age
Probably because they are
@@fin_8990 most likely yes
Bc the actor is older than the character they portrayed
Well Americans really look older on their young age
God bless USA God bless d.day heroes

Malarkey....Roe......Nixon....???
🇺🇸💪
i begin to think, what was the purpose of captain nixon in easy company?
amma_shame Intel officer
Nixon was originally a Platoon Leader at Camp Toccoa. We was then moved up to Battalion S2, Regimental S2, then back down to Battalion S2.
It's an officers path.....But I don't know about moved "up"
2nd platoons
Col. Ed Shames said without a doubt he was the most worthless drunk in the U.S Army. His parents had pull with the brass, but even that couldn't keep him out of getting demoted.
Embarassing they would actually put jimmy fallon in as something other than an unrecognizable body.
7:47 who did he look like guys lol
Mr.steven LEE, That’s Tom Hardy playing Private Janovec.
Hahaha Age 22 my ASS lol that actor is at LEAST in his late 30's, early 40's! 🤣

They make them look like men, I mean they acted like men, but most them were still just kids.
Imagine this war with today's generation oh my God
Derek K Imagine today’s “war” with the WWII generation. War would be over within a week.
Jrod Vonhoganon taliban/ wouldn't know what hit them
