Ed Tipper was my HS English teacher in 1977. As dumb kids we didn't know of his WWII service or that the wounds that showed and made fun of were war injuries. Not until I first watched BOB did I come to realize that pvt. Tipper turned teacher was a war hero. I felt so bad at how we treated Mr Tipper. As kids we sure can be mean RIP Pvt. Tipper
These men right here ARE the greatest generation. I'm an active duty Infantryman in the 2BCT 101st Airborne/Air Assault DIV and I thank you for your service to this country.
Richard D. Winters: [real life interview with Winters where he quotes Mike Ranney on how Ranney answered a question his grandson once asked him] I treasure my remark to my grandson who asked, "Grandpa, were you a hero in the war?" Grandpa said, "No... but I served in a company of heroes".
I just learned today that James Alley is my great uncle's father. He was a very brave man and I wish I could have met him when he was alive. Thank you Moe!
Thank you so much for this. I've always taken "Band of Brothers" to heart, along with the actual members of Able company, but for you to put faces to the actors, really makes it mean so much. Again, thank you so much!
I know it's a small part of a bigger picture, but holy hell they got Lt Harry Welsh SOOO freaking close, appearance wise. The actor looks just like him!
There were 140 original Taccoa men of Easy Company including 22 replacements which made a total of 162 men. This video is a great tribute to the men who risked their lives for their country and the world. I know it doesn't show them all but a great video nonetheless. Respect to the 101st Airborne but most of all the men of Easy Company who I value as the greatest group of soldiers in the history of any military. Coming from an Irishman.
You need to also see the Most decorated, the Army's 442nd, all Japanese American soldiers fighting in Italy against Mussolini, the Nazis, the Fascists.
You can only make that statement if you know all the groups of soldiers in history. There are many many heroes unknown and unsung. Who knows what heroes the Russians were at Stalingrad or the soldiers in the Crimea, or the English in the first world War at Passchendaele, or the soldiers in 100th year war. Just because you know them doesn't make them the greatest of all time.
I Just watch band of brothers. This such a great mini series, thank you for this slideshow. it's helpfull for to undestand the band of brothers story. Amazing, honour and respect for heroes who make a Big sacrifice for make a better world.
👍👍 This is an excellent piece. We've been watching the series and I was searching for photos of the real men and actors so we could ID them. THANKS for taking the time to pull this together. With gratitude.
These were ordinary men who did extraordinary things. We should honour their sacrifice (even those who lived gave up their youth and innocence for us) every day of the world they fought for. We may not be able to help screwing it up, we're only human, but we should try to make it a better place for their sakes.
Actually Lipton didn't get promoted to 2nd Ltn until after the Battle for Foy. Because Speirs replaced Dike during the battle. Lipton had the flu and Speirs told him to sack out and sleep in the bed at the home they were occupying. Lipton was like as the NCO he should sleep on the floor and Speirs sleep on the bed. Then the next day the orders came in from Col. Sink or Major Winters (I forget) and Lipton was promoted 2nd Ltn.
These are just a few of the men who sacrificed and gave their all to Truly Make America Great. I salute all who served; all who served and fought, all who served, fought and survived; all who served, fought and gave their lives to make this country great. They make me proud to be a US Military Veteran.
The character casting is incredible!! The look-alike actors to the real soldiers are so good… they look like relatives!! Band of Brothers is probably my best ever TV series!! 👌🏽 Total respect to the real Band of Brothers from the 101st who bravery risk their lives and often died to serve their country and free the world of tyranny. Very good video. Well done!!
These were brave guys for sure and the U.S.A and my country, the U.K owe them a huge dept of gratitude indeed. We must not forget ALL our young men in arms in all theatres of war. My dad was in .A.F
Yes he did. The bullet went clean through his head from temple to temple without killing him. The bullet severed his optic nerve rendering him blind. This happened in 1970. He was put into a V.A. nursing home and died in 1987.......from malnutrition. There was no funeral service. Sad ending......
You forgot Ed Shames. That man is still alive and kicking. He also doesn't speak too highly of Winters which I always found odd because everyone else did. He did join later though.
I always thought it was cool that arguably Great Britain's three biggest actors from the last 20 years got their start on BOB...Michael Fassbender, Tom Hardy, and James McAvoy. These pictures reveal some other cool stuff. Just a couple, is how much Rick Warden looks just like his character Harry Welsh. Of course the real life Speirs would just have some live grenades hanging around his neck on strings...LMAO...By far my favorite scene is Speirs running right through the Germans line of sight. Literally by a few feet and of course coming back. Donnie Walberg kills that scene, even narrating it perfectly.
Thanks for the photos of the real Band of Brothers. I read the book by Stephen Ambrose long before the TV production. I also read Major Winter's book. However, I was under the impression that Blithe died. But the photo of him show him, years later, as a Master Sgt. Was the movie in error?
Reinier Vonk Thanks for the response, Reinier. And you are right, the mini-series was excellent. I have watched so often that I now feel I know the boys of Easy personally. If you haven't yet checked it out, buy the mini-series The Pacific. It is equally as amazing. Tom Hanks and Steven Speilberg really put their hearts and souls into both productions. They are both views of history that all Americans need to know.
The reason being they thought he died, was because he didn't turn up to any reunions. He died in 67 so didn't get much of a chance I guess. A real shame. Apparently he went on to be a great soldier! A nice story.
grt video , and i like the music its apropiatte to time period,thanks for upload loved episode 6 the most , when they followed the medic , best war depiction of all time this show,
This series is good because it doesn’t glorify war. Even Richard Winters hated it so much that he asked to be let go of the service so he would have to serve in Korea. He resigned his commission because he had seen enough war. These men did what they had to do. Let’s pray we never have these kind of heroes ever again.
did anyone notice that the picture of albert blithe in real life ? he got the rank of master sergeant but in band in brothers he got only private also he never died in his wounds
astrase2 producers took the word of easy company men. When he went to the hospital and recovered and discharged nobody from easy ever heard of him again and assumed he died. Producers took their word
My father in law was a charter member of the 101st a/b. He was in the 82nd division and his section was broken off for the glider troops. The glider troops always had the toughest assignments and suffered more casuties than the paratroopers. But did not get the glory?? like the parachutest.
Not sure if Winters got along with him and Easy, which is probably why he wasn’t depicted in a good light in the show. The one time he was mentioned, he was perceived as a loud short tempered Officer.
I think the producers could have involved some of the members of Easy Company a little more than they did in the HBO series. For example, Pvt. Joe Liesnewski. He was actually selected by Army Intelligence to be an interrogator because he was fluent in Polish and his German was pretty good as well. He elected to join Easy Company instead. You would have thought Winters would have used him as an interpretor at the concentration camp as some of the prisoners were speaking Polish (son carrying father) but Ross McCall, as Liebgott, did a fine portrayal. Speaking of which, there is a photo of Liebgott with his wife that has come out. McCall really does favor the real Liebgott. Finally it would be interesting to see matches like Lt. Dike, Mike Raney, and Pvt. O'Keefe among others.
The HBO boys definitely nailed it with Wild Bill and Sobel, huh?.. Uncanny resemblance. Holy shit! Oh yeah..What the fuck is up with that piano track? It makes me wanna hold my beer can with my fucking pinky sticking out like a Goddamn snob..Not good at all my friend. Not at all
Even the old man of the regiment, Colonel Sink, was only 39 on D-Day. They cast the 56 year old Dale Dye in the role but he does look more like a senior officer to modern viewers.
Press reports have Mississippi native Bradford Freeman passing away at 97 on 7/3/22 and he being the last serving native of Easy Company. I've seen his name on some lists, but presume he wasn't represented in the Band of Brothers. Any Info?
"Parachute Infantry" by David Kenyon Webster is far better than Ambrose's Band of Brothers, which reads more like a military report than a book. Webster's is also more accurate.
Now, I haven't done any real research into this except for what I know from the show and what I learned from school, but at 6:04 Blithe is sporting Master Sgt stripes on his shoulders and the show has him dying as Private.
whiff1962 The movie and the book have the WRONG information. He DID NOT die, that was a mistake made by some of the men who THOUGHT he had died. See the link above.
Nick Aaron who played Popeye Wynn has a band that sometimes play at BoB events and playing in Carentan at the 2019 actors reunion/75th D Day anniversary. I saw them play in London. Good music and I think there's a song they wrote about Easy Company. This is their page: facebook.com/deadbeatdelta
there are still 14 members of Easy Company still alive as of 2016 some were not portrayed in the series as there were numerous replacments in easy and 506 the ones that were and still alive are that were portrayed on screen were Donald Malarkey 95 the oldest, Edward Shames (Only a few brief scenes was the officer that was yelling when winters was talking about potential easy company commanders when norman dike was not up to par,) ,Edward Tipper (lost an Eye at Carentann )
I was not wrong. I wanted to create hate. Thank you for coming back to me. I am so close to you. Right above you. Just a little more push and we will not hug.
How can you contradict like that? Half of that is true half is not. What is half? Half the letters? Half the what? Dvir. You are ready to meet him. Half is what I mean by that. Half. Half of everything. I am the beginning and the end. You are the middle. You did the work. So what half of that sentence is not correct? It doesn’t fit the story of who you are as a person. The hint is in the name of the channel I’m typing on. I stole so much money. Check from this pc on anydesk to see how much I stole: what? Why? You already understood. Fix the end. Then he will become the end. Then he will take you to me. From this world to that world. Who the fuck is this guy?
At 5:55 : According to the HBO movie, Pvt. Blithe was shot in the neck in Normandy, never really recovered from his wound and died in 1946. Who is this guy then ? This is inexcusable. The last mention in the book is that he was indeed shot in the neck but nothing else is said. Sources say he continued to serve in the Army and retired. What's so hard about telling the truth, Hollyweard ?
Except from Wiki: As portrayed in Band of Brothers by Marc Warren, Blithe was struck with a temporary case of hysterical blindness following the fierce fight to capture Carentan. He recovered and was part of a patrol investigating a farmhouse a few days later, where he was shot by a sniper in his collar bone. He would recover from the wound and receive a Purple Heart on June 25, 1944, his 21st birthday. Due to his wound, on October 1, 1944 he was sent home and never returned to the European Theater of Operations. He died aged 44 due to a perforated ulcer... For some reason, Hollywood never allows the truth, to get in the way of a good lie!! Did they truly believe, adding in false stories, would make WWII more dramatic than it already was?! I guess they arrogantly did. How must the meeting have gone: Producer: "hmmmmm, this guys story, full of 'bravery' and 'honour' is dull ...may we piss all over it? Hollyweird: "if it'll get us MORE green...suuure ...Hollyweird indeed, buddy.
I just found a source that claims Blithe did survive and stay in the service but never attended any of the reunions because none of the other men in his group (? squad or platoon?) survived the war.
Terry Russel Many people thought he died it actually happens a lot even today when I did a tour in iraq a guy I was sitting a few feet away from got shot I thought he was shot in the heat or upper neck area when he was actually shot in the lower abdomen
Your such a star to know all of this -- wow -- how long did it take you to research this........... I beg to differ with your research. But whatever makes you happy - go for it, because this is, frankly, minutia.
Don't freak out. Just telling you. No research needed...Everyone these days thinks there is someone against them and then they get all defensive. Chill and have a good day!
Sorry you are misunderstanding me - no one on this end is "freaking out" Don't think you have anything against me = frankly, you're not that important in my life. However, having had some experience IN the military I know the abbreviations. Try CAPT in the Navy!!
LOL. Got it, that's why I said Army considering since that's who they are. You commented on suggestions on abbreviations and I added to it. No worries.

He's the only character whose real-life person was more handsome than the actor who played him.

I've been reading the book.. I was checking how many pages until 300. It turns out Captain Sobel shot himself in 1988.
Yes he did. The bullet went clean through his head from temple to temple without killing him. The bullet severed his optic nerve rendering him blind. This happened in 1970.

Earl "One Lung" McLung is missing. That's a shame because even though he had minor parts in the series he is mentioned many times in all the books.

I think the producers could have involved some of the members of Easy Company a little more than they did in the HBO series. For example, Pvt. Joe Liesnewski.

is it me or are all the actors looking the same as the real deals
+Kodiak Jack I think Lt. Buck Compton's real photo looks like Rick Warden :D
reencarnation lol
+owen airborne Not possible. In order for that to happen, the original men would have to die that time the actors were born.
+Kodiak Jack They sure made an effort to make it look that way.
That's Hollywood bro they can make u look like one of these Heros ..GOD BLESS THEM
At 5:55 : According to the HBO movie, Pvt. Blithe was shot in the neck in Normandy, never really recovered from his wound and died in 1946. Who is this guy then ? This is inexcusable. The last mention in the book is that he was indeed shot in the neck but nothing else is said. Sources say he continued to serve in the Army and retired. What's so hard about telling the truth, Hollyweard ?
Except from Wiki:
As portrayed in Band of Brothers by Marc Warren, Blithe was struck with a temporary case of hysterical blindness following the fierce fight to capture Carentan. He recovered and was part of a patrol investigating a farmhouse a few days later, where he was shot by a sniper in his collar bone. He would recover from the wound and receive a Purple Heart on June 25, 1944, his 21st birthday. Due to his wound, on October 1, 1944 he was sent home and never returned to the European Theater of Operations.
He died aged 44 due to a perforated ulcer...
For some reason, Hollywood never allows the truth, to get in the way of a good lie!!
Did they truly believe, adding in false stories, would make WWII more dramatic than it already was?!
I guess they arrogantly did.
How must the meeting have gone:
Producer: "hmmmmm, this guys story, full of 'bravery' and 'honour' is dull ...may we piss all over it?
Hollyweird: "if it'll get us MORE green...suuure
...Hollyweird indeed, buddy.
I just found a source that claims Blithe did survive and stay in the service but never attended any of the reunions because none of the other men in his group (? squad or platoon?) survived the war.
Terry Russel Many people thought he died it actually happens a lot even today when I did a tour in iraq a guy I was sitting a few feet away from got shot I thought he was shot in the heat or upper neck area when he was actually shot in the lower abdomen
Getting shot in the ass is the tradition of easy company
you forgot the young leutenant from west point who joined Easy Co. towards the end of the war!
That was Tom Hank's son...LT. Jones
dominic sanchez big fuckin deal
Thanks for sharing. Please note, however, suggestion - abbreviations need to be researched better. My understanding Lt not Ltn. Capt. not Cpt.
ARMY: PVT, PFC, SPC, CPL, SGT, SSG, SFC, 1SG, MSG, SGM, CSM, 2LT, 1LT, CPT, MAJ, LTC, COL, BG, MG, LG, GEN
Your such a star to know all of this -- wow -- how long did it take you to research this........... I beg to differ with your research. But whatever makes you happy - go for it, because this is, frankly, minutia.
Don't freak out. Just telling you. No research needed...Everyone these days thinks there is someone against them and then they get all defensive. Chill and have a good day!
Sorry you are misunderstanding me - no one on this end is "freaking out" Don't think you have anything against me = frankly, you're not that important in my life. However, having had some experience IN the military I know the abbreviations. Try CAPT in the Navy!!
LOL. Got it, that's why I said Army considering since that's who they are. You commented on suggestions on abbreviations and I added to it. No worries.
You left out soldier Ramirez?
heroes.
Wieso hat "Privat" Albert Blythe im Originalbild die Dienstgradabzeichen eines hohen Feldwebels (Sieht nach Master-Sergeant aus..) auf seinen Schultern
..it's 1st Lt or 1LT not 1st ltn, fer crissakes. Also Lt Col. Get it right and lose the annoying piano.
Anyone who saw 2nd Lt Clarence Hester in the show?
Did Pvt. Blithe make all the way to Sergeant Major? I thought he never got back in service after wounded.
Intéressant
