@@theallseeingmaster Not much information about that, but considering that none of his family members attended his funeral since they were unaware of these events, I would assume the staff.
WINTERS wasn't the hero.. yeah he did things that helped, but he also did things that were shit!! Took the wristband watch off the trooper that was one of the first KIA storming the 105s.. Winters took his watch and gave it to a little girl he was boarding with in England before dday!! Creepy!!
My son and I are taking the 2 week Stephen Ambrose Band of Brothers tour in July 2024. Starting in England and ending at the Eagles Nest. We will visit all of their battle sites. A bucket list trip.
Band Of Brothers has been my favorite series of all time. I keep watching it again and again. The POW camp still tightens my throat every time i watch it.
It was the 411th Regiment of the 103rd Infantry Division (the Cactus Division) that liberated the Kaufering concentration camps at Landsberg. The 101st relieved them.
I was on a school trip when I was 17, and one of the most sombering places we stopped was the death camp of Dachau. Many of my classmates ended up shedding tears at some point during that afternoon.
This is the best program I have ever seen so much so, I got the box set with all 10 episodes ..what a fantastic set of chaps you would ever want to walk into a war with...Bless every one of them..xx
Greatest decision by HBO & Tom Hanks ever. Probably also Spielberg. This is an IMPORTANT series, not just a great one. THESE GUYS REPRESENT ALL THE GREATEST GENERATION WHOSE STORIES WERE NOT FILMED

I feel sorry for Herbert Sobal. Although he wasnt cut out to lead men, he was quite capable of making soldiers. A classic case of trying to put a glove on a foot.
Yes,even though he wasn’t a good Leader,you’d hope he would have come to appreciated the fact that he was really good at training soldiers.but knowing how he died,he probably didn’t see it that way & focused too much on the negative
Band of Brothers was filmed close to where I grew up in Hertfordshire, UK. We’d often drive past the sets, you could hear the guns and explosions and see the planes flying over all the time.
We are all human and have faults, What suprises me is Sobel couldn't read a map to save his life and didn't know when enough is enough. We all fail but failure only matters when we fail to learn and benefit from what has transpired. RIP Sobel.
I was told by a veteran the most dangerous thing in the world is a second lieutenant with a map. Basic map reading was part of my basic training. Start at one point, follow the map and compass and arrive at a certain point. Most failed, including me.
6th British Airborne Division also dropped in on D Day. Actor to be Richard Todd dropped onto Pegasus Bridge and some 18 years latter played his Commanding Officer in the film The Longest Day "Hold until relieved, hold until relieved". Heros to a man!
And don't forget that this June 6th, 2024, will be the 80th anniversary of the "Great Crusade". As referred to by General Eisenhower. Let us honor them now and forever.
2 things nobody really knows about: two original Toccoa men died rather tragic deaths later in life. Denver "Bull" Randleman contracted an easily treatable MRSA infection on the site of a surgical graft while in a nursing home. It went completely ignored and untreated and ultimately killed him. George Luz was still working as a handyman into his advanced years. In 1998 he was working on a gigantic industrial dryer when it slipped its supports and fell on top of him, crushing and instantly killing him. Neither of them deserved to die in the way they did.
Here's an 11th fact. It was the 411th Regiment of the 103rd Infantry Division (the Cactus Division) that liberated the Kaufering concentration camps at Landsberg. The 101st relieved them.
It’s rare to find an officer or NCO who is great at their job, a great trainer, a great staff officer and a great leader. If it was easy everyone could be in command.
Tom Hanks was an extra in one of the Episodes ..He was one of the Brits rescued in the night ops and celebrating with the 101st...The scene was less than 2 seconds...
Nope, he was not in that scene. He did play a part. In the series, they made a raid across a river and after they returned to the other side, they kept hearing someone shouting for help in English. THAT voice was Tom Hanks.
@@davidbriggs7365 Wrong, he IS in that scene, when the British officers calls for a cheer for Easy Company look to the left of him and Hanks is at the back wearing his beret in a very silly way.
Honestly if they would have asked me, I would have been an ekstra for free! I have always been a WWII historical nutcase and loved not only Band of Brothers but all the related series' and movies because of the attention too detail and relatable characters.
The set Department did an amazing job. I actually went to Easy Company’s position/foxholes, in Bastogne (overlooking the town of Foy), and it looks exactly the same as it did in BOB.
There have been veterans who actually found their foxholes in France. The gas cans were tossed aside rather than sent back to be refilled. Veterans found the French using them.
1:34. Just to clarify, Sobel did not attend the U.S. Military Academy, regardless of how similar the uniform looks. He attended Culver Military Academy.
Thanks for pointing that out. I served at West Point, and that picture was certainly meant to look like a WP Cadet. Also, in the side-by-side pictures of Schwimmer and Sobel, that Major is not Sobel. He looks nothing like Sobel. These videos are great. But, I'm surprised by so many mistakes.
The guy Jimmy Fallon played actually was with the 10th armored division whom my grandpa served there. They where the tiger division. He was actually a machinist. Which blows me away that they actually had that type of support that close to the front line. But he was right there in the mix.
There is significant doubt about the Spiers-Prisoners scene, that he effectively lured them to slaughter by giving them cigarettes before firing on them. At least the series had the good sense to not actually show him doing the shooting. And there is context that was not given to the incident. The paratroopers were ordered by General Maxwell Taylor to take no prisoners on D-Day because it might put American lives at risk to fight the enemy while tending to prisoners. Spiers was unfairly singled out for this in the series in order to make a point about his personal ruthlessness and Spiers remained bitter about this for the rest of his life. Spiers was known to be a first class officer who was respected for his fearlessness and the fact that he ultimately retired as a Lt. Colonel is telling. As well the rumor that he shot an NCO for disobeying an order is also a misrepresentation since according to witnesses the NCO was drunk and had pointed a weapon at Spiers who had ordered him to stand down, which he did not do, before shooting him and the Army found his actions to be self-defense.
Petty? I don’t think so. Sobel purposefully ignored him. Try doing that to a superior office. I assure you that what Winters did was very mild. It may have felt sweet but was also justified
@@charlesgantz5865 It was Sobel who was being petty. Winters deserved to exact that revenge. It is dead wrong in the military to acknowledge (verbally or non-verbally) the presence of a higher ranking officer and not render a salute.
@@michaeldover I was just reading a book by Donald Malarkey who was with Winters when this occurred. Malarkey said that Sobel didn't notice Winters was there, but he saw Malarkey. Sobel came up to Malarkey, and even remembered his name, and noticed that he had been promoted to Sergeant. They were chit-chatting when Winters piped up about saluting a superior officer. That was when Sobel noticed Winters, and he then rendered the salute. He was a bit startled to see Winters.
I heard a family story of desperate need in the battle of the bulge of a young grunt though he had never driven a deuce and a half was told, well... your gonna learn real fast
Anna was the woman from Africa that was helping out around the "hospital". I don't understand how he got the two women confused, as Renee's name is spoken several times in the episode!
this is something that is always misinterpreted in reviews of this series. episode 1 DID NOT show Easy company going through "boot camp". the soldiers who went through jump training had already gone through Basic Training and their advanced MOS training and were fully qualified soldiers. many of them had already served more than a year in the Army and some had even seen combat. episode 1 depicted them going through their Airborne training to become paratroopers.
After watching BoB, action movies seem hollow. During training, real Army soldiers watched with some confusion these guys doing paratrooper training, in 1940s uniform and gear. I'm startled there was no mention of the original BoB annual reunions AND the actors have continued the tradition.
What happened to Sobel was wrong on so many levels. He wasn’t well liked but he most likely saved a lot of lives with his harsh training. I willing to bet many in Easy Company would agree. We should salute him for his sacrifice for his country. 🇺🇸
Loved the series and binge watch it every Veteran's and Memorial Day on TV. But why didn't they show the 969th Black artillery at Bastogne? The only disappointment for me.
This was a series about Easy company not the entire Battle of the Bulge. The 969th had moved into an area of Bastogne near Noville and Villeroux. The 502nd PIR 101st was near Noville. The 327 GIR 101st was near Villeroux. Thus the 969th would not have been in the sector around Foy. Personally, the 333rd Field Artillery Group made up of the 333rd and 969th Field Artillery Battalions deserves its own series of movie. RIP the Wereth 11. The British and Canadians were in an area as a blocking force outside of the 101st zone at Bastogne. These were the 6th British Airborne and the 1st Canadian Airborne.
Let's just say that again... _"He spent the last seventeen years of his life in a Veterans Administration home, _*_before dying in 1987 of neglect and malnutrition."_*
He died of neglect and malnutrition well in a Home for veterans. My god. No matter what you might think of his Behavior, No one deserves that least of all a veteran who served our country. And he was in an institution that was supposed to take care of veterans. If you know anything more about this can you please publish it. I am appalled. I know that this happens. I don't care how obnoxious he was to his men. No one.No one deserves that kind of treatment. People in prison for horrible crimes are treated better. Shame on us for letting this happen to a veteran.❤
Jimmy Fallon not being able to drive a Jeep is the Jimmy Fallonist thing ever, what a maroon and a soy boy, I would not have given that role to anyone unable to drive a freakin Jeep.
I really dislike that voice synthesis has become good enough to seem acceptable at first, but then every so often gets the intonation wrong in such a jarring way.
In Fact #7, you incorrectly said “Boot Camp”. The Army doesn’t have “Boot Camp”. The Marines and Navy have “Boot Camp. The Army has “BCT”, or Basic Combat Training.
How on earth do we neglect our Veterans in A VETERAN HOME?!? Sobel may have been disliked, but he made fine soldiers. As an RN and daughter and niece of Veterans, I am horrified to learn of this. NOT ON MY WATCH would any Veteran be left to die from starvation. When I’ve worked in the long term care setting- all of my residents are well cared for and in no way shape or form would this happen. Every time I enter a long term care facility, I specifically look for wall postings of the residents who served. And I ALWAYS thank them. It’s striking how humble these men and women are when they are shown gratitude. Our freedom isn’t free. It’s the result of ultimate sacrifices and learning of this today is appalling 😢
“All-American Pitcher” , clearly shows him in catcher’s equipment bc Buck was a catcher at UCLA. Did you do any research for this video or is this just for views?
What about that the fact that actor Damien Lewis was British along with a lot of the cast????? What about a real BOB Veteran Babe Hefron had a cameo in the series??? Also Mark Warren who played Albert Blithe was British. You mention James McAvoy -he was Scottish. You missed a lot in this video. Albert Blithe didn't die in 1948 as stated in the series from his injuries he went in to the Korean War and earned the Silver Star and Bronze Star and Purple Heart. He dies in 1967. Your video is disappointing..😢😢😢😢
Esteemed and popular tv dramas of the era, and the picture shown is the Sopranos, The X-files, and something else I don't even recognize. The Sopranos sure. But the X-files were always a joke, bad acting and the Mulder character always saying 'they're shutting us down Scully', watched 3 episodes that was my limit. What was that third obscure show?
I enjoyed some of the scenes in BoB's and would not call it a bad film at all, but it did rub me the wrong way due to everyone shouting from the rooftops (including the actors going thru "bootcamp" to get prepared for the movie) how realistic it was. I didn't find it very realistic at all and found many scenes to be no more than some director's quick civilian view on small unit movements and tactics that not even lightly trained green infantry units would consider doing. Just not a big fan of it (a U.S. infantry and Recon Marine who spent 27 months 17 days in Vietnam from March '67 thru June '69).
Mr. Fallon couldn't take the time to learn how to drive a manual transmission??? It's the literal least he could do to honor the character being played.
No matter what you think of someone, no veteran should die of neglect and malnutrition. 😢
That’s true
How did that happen?
I believe the malnutrition was self-inflicted to speed the end. Who neglected him, the staff or his family?
@@theallseeingmaster Not much information about that, but considering that none of his family members attended his funeral since they were unaware of these events, I would assume the staff.

“All-American Pitcher” , clearly shows him in catcher’s equipment bc Buck was a catcher at UCLA. Did you do any research for this video or is this just for views?

Great content. I hate AI narrators
Band of brothers is a amazing series, it made me kind of sad about Sobel, I did not know what really happened to him.
So disappointing that The Pacific and Masters of the Air weren't nearly as good as Band of Brothers.
I Know Right Same!!
Such a sad life for Captain Soebel.
Jacob the liar was a 1999 movie
Interesting that Jeep is a Daimler (German) company !!!!
What about that the fact that actor Damien Lewis was British along with a lot of the cast?????
What about a real BOB Veteran Babe Hefron had a cameo in the series??? Also Mark Warren who played Albert Blithe was British. You mention James McAvoy -he was Scottish. You missed a lot in this video. Albert Blithe didn't die in 1948 as stated in the series from his injuries he went in to the Korean War and earned the Silver Star and Bronze Star and Purple Heart. He dies in 1967.
Your video is disappointing..😢😢😢😢
Very English, Eton educated, Damien Lewis, doing a fine job with the American accent here, but I wonder why a Yank couldn't do it??
That's why my ultra-super-mega patriotic Veteran dad won't watch the series. He doesn't like so many UK actors playing Americans.
Buck Compton was an All American catcher for UCLA. You need to do better at background research.
the job in the pacific was much harder
Debatable??
Esteemed and popular tv dramas of the era, and the picture shown is the Sopranos, The X-files, and something else I don't even recognize.
The Sopranos sure. But the X-files were always a joke, bad acting and the Mulder character always saying 'they're shutting us down Scully', watched 3 episodes that was my limit.
What was that third obscure show?
It was Twin Peaks.
Sobel must have been a tremendous instructor if his company was that good.
They were firing their real rifles? Wow, good thing Alec Baldwin wasn’t in that cast 😮💨
You show photo of the real Sobel at 2:04 he looks completely different to the one you showed at 2:01😅😅😅😅 what a 🤡
Coming from a long line of proud military men, I will stand and die by my country, but I’m sorry all I see is Ross, FRONT AND BACK 🤣😂
Notice Dye never trains in the mud with the rest of the actors.
Yeah. Jimmy Fallon sticks out like a sore thumb. Bad hire.
I enjoyed some of the scenes in BoB's and would not call it a bad film at all, but it did rub me the wrong way due to everyone shouting from the rooftops (including the actors going thru "bootcamp" to get prepared for the movie) how realistic it was. I didn't find it very realistic at all and found many scenes to be no more than some director's quick civilian view on small unit movements and tactics that not even lightly trained green infantry units would consider doing. Just not a big fan of it (a U.S. infantry and Recon Marine who spent 27 months 17 days in Vietnam from March '67 thru June '69).
It's not a willy jeep
Mr. Fallon couldn't take the time to learn how to drive a manual transmission??? It's the literal least he could do to honor the character being played.
Humorous story: Two guys had to forget about a carjacking. They couldn't drive a stick shift!
This goverment does not take care of our vetrans, shame shame on them ,
