It's heartwrenching because it means that he's still aware enough to know that he's not safe. So he's gotta get up, gotta get his helmet and keep hold of his gun cuz he's not safe. I hope that was also helping him fight the pain because I can't imagine it's easy to think at all after that.
Guarnere is the one who organized almost all the reunions. He is the one who invited Ambrose to a reunion in the late 80's, inspiring him to write a book which was made into a miniseries by Hanks/Spielberg.
This episode represents the approximate time my own father entered combat in this Battle. He was a replacement Glider Trooper in a different unit... the 194th GIR of the 17th Airborne. He found a non-com that he stuck close to that kept him alive in this time....similar to a Sargent Lipton. He never talked about it, aside from talking about how cold it was except for one time at a family gathering where he got very drunk. He went on to finish the war in Europe including a Gliderborne drop in Operation Varsity in March of 1945 and being among the first units to meet up with Russian units at the Elbe. He was able to muster home early because his unit was scheduled to participate in the Invasion of Japan which fortunately was called off after the Japanese surrender.
Toye's children had absolutely no idea of what their father did in the war, only that he lost a leg. When the book came out as well as this series (he had already passed by then) they said their respect and love for him grew so much. They wish he had told them more about his experiences. I have a good friend who's father was a navigator in a B-24 during the war and the man would never talk about what happened during that time. The most I ever got out of him was that he thought the B-24 was a good airplane. That was it. He was a great guy and would do anything to help you out. The thing about soldiers (and airmen/seamen) is that they seem to go one of two ways: They become bitter and stay within themselves (I really can't blame them considering) or they become some of the best people you could ever know since they've seen the worst and they've resolved to make things better as they can. Of course, there's exceptions but this is based on my experience.
Joe Toye truly was a badass. Throughout his service from Normandy to Ardennes, he earned a Silver Star, Two Bronze Stars and FOUR Purple Hearts. Despite having severe trench foot and a two fresh wounds, he continued to fight in Bastogne where he would eventually lose his leg. . www.frankdeangelis.com/Staff%20Sergeant%20Joseph%20Toye.htm
Loving your reactions to BoB Juliette. Im very impressed by your editing of these long action packed episodes into small vids. Keep up the great work and the awesome hair.
During the bombardment the Germans used timed shells to blow up a few feet above the ground to blow up the trees causing splintering of the wood that can hit people and causes the trees to fall...
i remember my grandfathers telling me about there time and stories in there service. god bless the men and women that defend our country. i come from a long line of service familes. from world war 1 to vietnam/ korean wars. branches include navy, air force, army, mariens.
It's hard to tell what actually happened, because those guys didnt like him and only from them we know what "happened" there. I read that he got hit in the shoulder and crumbled after that, so that may have been the cause for him to kind of loose it.
I think during the bombardment he got hit, but no one noticed. During the next attack he was yawning and sleepy, because he was on the edge of passing out. None of the soldiers knew this, so even though before this day he won medals and was respected by other units, he got written down in the memoirs by soldiers he lead for weeks as being lazy(including the incorrect stories of him yawning before he was injured).
Not just any medals, but Two Bronze Stars for acts of extreme bravery and leadership. First for organizing scattered paratroopers in Holland to capture, hold and defend a key road junction, while surrounded and under constant attack by a superior enemy. Second in Bastogne for rescuing two wounded members of his company from exposed an exposed position while under direct fire from the enemy. He also had a Purple Heart from Holland I believe. There are accounts that we was wounded by a German sniper while leading the men towards Foy. As a result of this wound, he panicked. He might not have been the best leader, but none of us are in a place to judge him for his actions.
I've recently found your channel and have been watching your videos of Band of Brothers. I remember watching this series when it first came out and getting emotional. Seeing and hearing your reactions made me start crying again, your observations are spot on as well. I look forward to watching more of your videos.
It’s my birthday today and someone made a shitty comment on another one of my videos so not gonna lie... I really, really appreciate this comment. Thanks, love.
Jason Fuentes yeah but our queen Juliette Reacts is all about the story and emotional investment. So we'll save her the less savory details, capiche? 😉
@@MichaelDelvalle-nt4gp these were not non combatants were they?.... these were soldiers on the front in uniform during an ongoing battle..... there is no comparison mate
Fun Fact: the reason why it was so violent at that point was because it was part of the "Battle of the Bulge" which was the last major move Germany made before losing completely. It was pretty much the climax of the war in Europe.
yet they made the battle seem so small. all they did was lay in the woods and get bombed then attacked that little town then the series was pretty much over, shoulvde added some for fights.
Sincere thanks, Juliette, for acknowledging the fact that Russia didn't win the war single-handed. My Dad, a combat medic, came home from Europe at the end of the war with a stammer and a head full of memories he spent the rest of his life trying to forget.
I served in the marines for 10 years I can relate to the combat stress . It doesn’t matter how many times I watch this seen I always tear up and gotta walk away or fast forward it
If you didn't already know, the very foxholes they dug in the Bois Jacques woods just north of Bastogne, are still there. You can stand the very spots they dug out. I was lucky enough to go on a Beyond the Band of Brothers Tour a couple of years ago. It was a very surreal walk form where we parked to the foxholes.....eerily quiet and somber. Thinking the whole time what it must have been like with the trees exploding all around.
Greets from Germany, I visited Bastogne Last year after I saw Band of Brothers maybe the 10th time, I Had to See this place with my own Eyes because even 75 years later the foxholes from the Easy company and the crates from the 88cannons are already there... ITS mind blowing to walk there where maybe a Joe Toy and a Bill Guarneere lost their Legs and Theres a Monument in Foy for all dead soldiers from the Easy, crazy to ready the Name "Hoobler" the Guy who Shot in His Leg... Was a crazy Trip gut Worth ist.
Skip Muck and Alex Pankela both were the original Toccoa men were killed together when a mortar shell hit their foxhole. As they shared the same foxhole.
I really like that you took the time to acknowledge that Dike wasn't as he was depicted. I think there was probably a directorial choice to make Dike a composite for bad leadership in that particular battle. In reality, he won two Bronze Stars for valour. One in operation Market Garden, and another in Bastogne where he rescued men under enemy fire. I don't think Norman deserved the disgrace that this mini-series bestowed upon him, even though he was clearly a flawed man by all accounts. It is my main criticism of what is otherwise a masterpiece. Great reaction vid!
@@zainahmed6502 Ambrose had a dilemma with Dike in that, for example, Lipton said that Dike had "fallen apart", whereas Lyall said that he was wounded in the shoulder and had to be evacuated to the rear. Both things could have happened to Dike that day in the chaotic course of combat. The producers of the series doubled-down on the negative aspects of Dike that were, as you correctly say, in the book by Ambrose. That does not mean that the series or the book are entirely accurate or fair representations of his character. The fact is, you don't get a Bronze Star, let alone two, for twiddling your thumbs and running at the first sign of danger. He was promoted to Captain and assigned to divisional HQ for the rest of the war. He later served in Korea.
Band of Brothers is one of the best showings of ww2 ever made. Mostly non biased, honest, brutal representation of the war. All set from the perspectives of the people that were there.
it is brutal but its also a very efficient since they would of course go out to help their wounded comrades and there for expose themselves for the next attack. war is hell.
Good reaction injuries flack 88 explosións soldiers valiants bastone is mayor battle us division and hurtgen forest 😎 salute congratulations 🇨🇷 from costarica
You should watch Fate/Zero, I think you might like it. It is a very character focused anime about mages that summon the ghosts of historical and mythical figures to fight in a secret war for the Holy Grail. It also has a critically acclaimed English dub, so I would recommend watching the dubbed version. A word of warning though, I'm don't know what site you use for anime, but there are two versions of the show, the broadcast version which cuts out several important scenes, and the blu ray version which is uncut. Netflix is the only official source I know of that has the correct version. Both Crunchyroll and Hulu have the wrong version. If you don't have Netflix, I would recommend watching it on kissanime.ru, which is an unofficial source, but it has the correct version.
Can you watch The Pacific next please? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pacific_(miniseries) It is amazing just like Band of brothers and from the same people. Love your reactions!
This is a reupload! Ep 8 coming soon!
Juliette Reacts as in tonight soon? Lol
Hope you didn't have to reupload due to getting copyright issues :'(
Anyway, looking forward to #8 :D
Will you be reacting to The Pacific??
Dillon Thompson I will indeed. A few weeks after finishing BoB.
Juliette Reacts Yay
just hearing toye say i gotta get up breaks my heart
too me it sounds kinda funny lol

Toye and Guerenere survived. They also went to some of the reunions after the war.

The commander they make fun of was actually awarded medals before that for saving soldiers I think he might have been burnt out

Juliette Reacts Happy Birthday!!!! I hope you have a great day. And don't worry about the empowered idiots behind a keyboard.
The Germans would intentionally delay second bombardments to lure soldiers into the open to help wounded/send reinforcements etc. Brutal tactic...
kreg bear They ain't the only ones who do that.
Jason Fuentes yeah but our queen Juliette Reacts is all about the story and emotional investment. So we'll save her the less savory details, capiche? 😉
brutal but effective
thats all that matters in the end...
terrorists do the same thing to first responders
@@MichaelDelvalle-nt4gp these were not non combatants were they?.... these were soldiers on the front in uniform during an ongoing battle..... there is no comparison mate
Supposedly they used to meet up and buy a single pair of shoes since they lived in the same city after the war. Sense of humor as well as guts...

@@DresenDK they were just one, small part of a larger fight, it would have taken away from the focsed impact to show the larger fight
Nothing 'fun' about that fact though
@@zainahmed6502 it's just a term
Just found these and loving your reactions to this heartwrenching series.
Yay! Thank you and welcome!
@@JulietteReacts Hello, Are you still re-acting? Haven't seen you for over a year.
@@fannybuster I plan to do more. Just need to carve out the time!
@@JulietteReacts OK..Hope to hear and see you soon..take care
3:39 actually spiers irl shot a man who was drunk but it was because the man aimed his rifle at him.
Sincere thanks, Juliette, for acknowledging the fact that Russia didn't win the war single-handed. My Dad, a combat medic, came home from Europe at the end of the war with a stammer and a head full of memories he spent the rest of his life trying to forget.
I think it's disrespectful to suggest any nation won the war single-handedly. I hope your dad found happiness and peace.
I remember tearing up and crying this episode
It's an especially heartbreaking one!

Ah, the "total asshole makeover". I actually had no idea he wasn't that way irl
Not really, if you read the book he is exactly like the show.

Now you can see how bad some of the junior officers were, it was the NCO's like lip and Johnny martin that kept the company together,
It's always funny to see the young Michael Fassbender in BoB.
The Germans would purposefully time their artillery bombardments to make sure the GIs were out and moving after the first...brutal
it is brutal but its also a very efficient since they would of course go out to help their wounded comrades and there for expose themselves for the next attack. war is hell.
Hence the command, "stay in your foxhole!!"
brutal bug very effective....
Lmao...”Fuck off Dike”!
I LOVE YOU JULIET ❤
Why did you skip Hooblers death doe?
remember most of this men were 18 to 20 years old at the time.
Dam!
Winters was the oldest at 27. Speirs and Lipton were 25. Buck Compton was 22, Guarnere and Toye were 21. Most enlisted were between 19-21
Do you have a Patreon where we can watch the full length reaction videos?
I love you so much...
