It doesn’t matter how many times I’ve watched this over the last 20 years, but every single time I hear Winters say “But I served in a company of heros” that hits me every single time. There’s so much depth behind that statement
It’s golden isn’t it. When he starts to get emotional saying that like you can see experiences in his eyes
@@thehistoryexplorer He was a compassionate leader; A spiritual man that walked his talk. He had integrity, and class. This is a Patriot.
True Heroes.
YES! Me too, every time, no matter how many times.
*Heroes. The greatest generation ever. No doubt
My relatives were in occupied Holland, and were liberated by US forces following a battle across my grandmother's family farm; huddled in a basement they waited while the battle raged throughout the day, at night the Americans moved up and searched the farm buildings. They came into the basement with weapons raised; they didn't know who or what was hiding down there... I only exist today because the soldiers didn't use grenades.
In the Band of Brothers show there's a moment where they attack a French town and they throw grenades and burst in and unload their weapons into the smoke and dust... One paratrooper, Luz I think, decides not to use his grenade and just kicks in the door to find a family of French civilians terrified and huddled in the middle of the room.
This moment always resonates with me 🥲 I'm so thankful for the sacrifices of all those that fought.
That actually happened in Holland with Babe.
😊😊 I thank them
❤❤❤
I`m so glad this series was made when these heroes still was with us and could tell us their stories.
Yes I understand that they are all gone now! God bless them all !
As a German born 20 years after WWII I am so immeasurably grateful to the men of Easy company and all the heroes of the Allied armed forces. I wouldn't be able to live the way I do now hadn't it been for them. R.I.P. heroes. You saved half a continent, an entire way of life and a culture. Never to be forgotten.
As an American you are most gracious in expressing your comment about our men of Easy company (and the Allied forces). God bless you. I hope your life is a peaceful one.
I'm glad you appreciate The USA. Some don't.
Ya, you'd be in a country of Germans. It would have been much different.
Germans are great People, got mamy contributions to mankind
These US Folks From 101 Airborne get tô our Hearts because any living man can Heart their History, Put yourself on His shows, and know what they say IS true
On THIS social Media era we live in IS Heart warming to hear such human stories
@@elizabethmartin4328 _I'm glad you appreciate The USA. Some don't._
As an Englishman it really irks me when people say things like, "Oh the yanks only came in at the end of the war" etc... Yes the English (and many others) were fighting the Germans since 1939 but these American men came in to help and lots gave their life for our freedom and if they hadn't we would have lost the war so show some damn respect!
Everyone that fought in this war, no matter their nationality is a hero!
My great uncle Harry served in the 82nd. Jumped in Market Garden and survived The Bulge. I'm blessed to have spent one evening when he showed me his collection and told me stories. That was the only time I ever heard of the war from him.
Not some artifacts behind glass at a museum. The man himself showing me items from his war, and what he had with him at that time.
What surprised me most was how he considered my 350 skydives to be more impressive than his combat jumps. So I listened in awe of his experiences, while he was in awe of mine.
God Bless you Uncle Harry and all your brothers as well.
My grandfather was in the Battle of the Bulge. According to my dad, he rarely talked about the war and often got very emotional when people asked him about it. Years later, in the 60’s, while at the veteran’s hospital, my dad was able to see his war records. He was shocked to find out that his dad had been awarded multiple Bronze Stars during his service. One of which was for carrying his wounded platoon leader over a mile in the snow to safety. Never told anyone..
@@we8sand812 I've noticed those who saw horrible things don't tend to talk about it. Those who saw little talk alot. It's the same with my uncle. He was a Marine in Vietnam. I didn't even know he's a Marine until I enlisted. Even then, I only know he served in Vietnam. He won't talk about it, and I know not to ask.
My dad was wounded in Holland or Belgium just before the battle of the bulge!
@@slartybarfastb3648My dad gradually told me a few things when I got older. But you’re right, they don’t say much. Just like Vietnam, I don’t think I should say anything, my buddy’s have told me some his horrible experiences. But he sure doesn’t say anything about it today.?
350 sky dives? Must be in the blood 😂😂 ❤
My father served with the 2nd Infantry Division during the Battle of the Bulge. Fortunately, he was able to tell us of his experiences. It is incomprehensible that there are people in this country who call such men suckers and losers, yet call themselves Americans. We owe all servicemen and servicewomen immeasurable gratitude for our freedom.
AMEN! THE GREATEST GENERATION!
Its heartbreaking to me that in the next 5 to 7 years most likely every single one of the men who served in that war will be gone. The only thing that gives me any comfort is the fact that documentaries and interviews like this exist. Long after the boys bodies are gone, their voices will still be heard and their unimaginal bravery will still be on display for all generations to come. I have a 10 year old son who anytime he sees a veteran he will voluntarily walk up to them and shake their hand and thank them for their service. Recently ive even noticed him going one step further and actually striking up full conversations with them to better know them. It makes my heart proud.
It is very sad but they’ve had a life well lived which I’m sure they are very grateful for.
Both of my parents served in World War Two. My Daughter served during Desert Storm. We all owe them our freedom. So grateful for the sacrifice the men and women made. ❤
That is absolutely brilliant that you raised your son with those kind of values. You should be very proud.
@MrBsbotto thank you, he definitely makes me proud on a regular basis
You have raised a respectable, humble young gentleman , job well done sir
I'm dutch. My grandmother lived near arnhem. She remembers being evacuated for Market Garden, they were all holed up in a little town closeby, all filled with Arnhemmers, not knowing if their house would survive the coming days, many didn't. A year or so ago i went to visit them in Arnhem and i saw the celibration of operation market garden. Old WW2 planes flew over, it was stunning. I cannot imagine how the people of eindhoven felt when they were liberated, but it must've been something like what my grandmother felt when they were finally free again. I'm happy my grandparents are still around. If things went differently back then, who knows if my mom would've been born.
When Shifty Powers said you knew more about these brothers than anybody in your life, it hit me how much they meant to each other and thelove of their country. God bless these men
The greatest
Rest in Peace gentlemen. We are eternally grateful for your valor and sacrifice.
Well said
Roger that !
What a debt we owe these brave boys, because that's what they were, just boys. Definitely our greatest generation. CURRAHEE...♥️🇺🇸
What there were Companies that had been fighting from 1940 Dunkirk [Brits ] and still together at the Elbe in 1945 Canadians Italy 1943 to 45 Kiwis Libya / Italy 41 to 45 Australians Libya Pacific 41 to 45 Let us not make it just Easy Company June 44 to May 45 IS 11 months
You are right about how much we owe to the Allies.
This is from 2/15AIF records Capt Greg Evans A Coy badly wounded company strengnth 100 men no heavy weapons one 2 inch Mortar [ No Sights ] held off and defeated an attack on Tobruk Jun 1941 by Rommel who almost got into the Cross roads inside the perimeter and lost 100 men to the Company and 16 panzers out of 30 to the Gunners
This company were together to El Alamein and fought there as well
Now that is a real Band of Brothers
@@jacktattis I couldn't agree more. My Gramps was in the 1st Battalion Welsh Guards and he fought in Arras France and he was rescued from the beach at Dunkirk in May/June 1940, my great uncle Tommy was a Desert Rat and he's buried in the Commonwealth Cemetery in Cairo, another uncle who at 18 served in the Royal Navy Submarine service and an uncle who served in the Royal Navy Russian Convoy. So when I said they were the greatest generation, I meant all those men and women who served in WW2, not just Easy Company....
Bigfoot
Guarnere’s actor nailed his impressions and even his general look and his cadence, perfectly. To the point you don’t even need his name to know who he is if you’ve watched the show.
Agreed, for the show to be made in 2001, not only did the actors study up on the personas of the vet they were acting for but they also hired the right actors to do the job.. it’s amazing how good they did.
Sometimes when I look at the actual pictures of the company, I recognize most of them because of who acted for the Individual in the show. Just wow.
Actor for Guarnere was so perfect. I thought the actor just had that type of speaking but in the end when they showed the real vet and listened to him talk, I was amazed
My dad was a medic at the battle of the bulge, and I was so lucky and blessed to be able to get firsthand knowledge of what happened and the stories he told they are incredible
That’s an amazing legacy. You must be very proud
youre also lucky to be alive. RESPECT
I’m so happy he made it! You were blessed!
My dad also was a marine corps medic aka a corpman , core man in the south pacific.
Not only that you could get your father's first hand accounts, but if you were born after the war.. you are as lucky to exist as your father to have survived the war!
That was The Greates Generation and today more than ever we need MEN LIKE THEM
I have to agree buddy
Yes....for starters it would be nice that they are men... not women, catfish or whatever the voice in their head is telling that day. After that the real work of the DI can begin.
@@rd9793you must mean the "other" people that Hitler was killing?. I wonder what they'd think of being called name's, like "Sucker's and Loser's"???
I am 56 now and that whole generation in my family is gone and I miss them dearly. All of my great uncles served in the war. Four of them in Europe and one of them in the pacific. My two great uncles on my Mothers Dads side went to Canada and joined the Canadian Air Force. Both were killed flying spitfires in the Battle of Britain. The other three on my Mothers Moms side all survived. Truly the greatest generation! May they all rest in peace.
Watched the series again the day it hit Netflix, and I cried at the end during the baseball scene, thinking about how much these men had given, and then the lives of all the men who never returned home (like my grandfather's two brothers). My wife's grandfather stormed Utah beach on D-Day, and he is a war hero who saved an entire company from a sneak attack by German tanks. He is still alive at 101 years old and sharper than our president. His heart breaks, and I mean BREAKS, over this generation and how quickly everyone has forgotten about what they gave. I also stood in line at Walmart with an African American man with a WW2 Vet hat, and I asked him about his service. He signed up the moment he was allowed to. He said his best friend lost his leg and would stop screaming, and because they were vulnerable and without any way to save him, he had to mercifully shoot him to make sure the rest of them did not give away their position. Not idea exactly what happened there, but he broke down and said he hears those screams every single night. These men were heros.
I just re-watched the series for the first time in 20 years. Every episode it makes me happy, sad, angry, and grateful aĺl at the same time. That baseball scene is incredibly powerful for me. Earl McClung I just recently found out is from the same area that I am from.
Easy company shall live on forever!!!😊
Couldn’t agree more. That baseball seen is the perfect epilogue to a legendary mini-series.
Just finished and did exactly the same thing at exactly the same scene. Probably the 3rd or 4th time I’ve watched the series in whole and it gets me every time.
Tell your wife’s grandfather that we won’t forget and we will do our best to keep the memories alive and honor them. I am a Gen X-er and I 100% agree with him about the younger generation. I get upset too. Our family lost my uncle who was a B-24 pilot. But there are some good ones amongst the youngsters. And thank God for documentaries like this. Thank him for his service and God bless. ❤️🇺🇸🙏🏻
54:00 "I better not talk about, I better not talk about it. Terrible." *starts tearing up*.... Damn that hits deep. Heroes. They're all heroes.
Tell me about it buddy. Brave brave men
Freedom is never free! It's something many generations have no clue of. I foresee a serious lesson will soon be taught to the world again. Americans are going to see things they never dreamed of. These great Troopers are hero's. I served in the 101st and 82nd Air Borne and even met Troopers who landed in France at the 50th anniversary. along with French citizen who lived there during the landing. Everyday I had tears in my eyes!
To have stood in the presence of these men would have been an honor unmatched by ANYTHING !
⭐️We will never forget. We appreciate the hell out of you Men. Most of you have passed on. RIP Soldiers 🇺🇸
Well said
If only the people who occupy this planet today had 10% of the values these men of 101 Airborne gave....
The men and women of the WWII era were all heroes. It makes me even sadder and mad that many of our current leaders are such egotistical phonies.
Today's people are mostly grifters, or the follower's of
Thats exactly what it comes down to! Nothing unknown or unexplainable, just common men with strong moral values and beliefs! Not just in the military, but in all aspects of life. They knew what truly counts and there's no time limit or expiration date; it's just as vital now as it always was!
I love how wild Bill was in construction missing a leg. What a fucking savage
I have no idea how he did that! Ha
He's an animal. Love this man, just get the job done and move on
My grandfather was hit in both legs at the battle of the bulge. He never spoke about his time in ww2 until right at the end of his life. Our family really never knew what he and others went through. He was with the 9th infantry, old reliables, rest easy pa. The greatest generation ever.
I'm a retired Marine, 24 years as an Infantryman and later an aircraft mechanic, always been proud of being an American fighting man, our history and the legacy of those that went before us... Band of Brothers is one of my favorite series, but it didn't have as much impact as this documentary. I think I cried through most of it. We should all be honored by the sacrifice that these simple, upstanding men performed for us and the world.
The younger generations have no concept nor respect for what our military men give up and train so hard to do the things necessary that enable them to complain about things without thought.
I'm 59 now, a young pup compared to these true men. But I can only wish that my children and grandchildren and future generations remember my buddies that I've lost in my career with the same reverence that I feel right now.
It's true, none of us that have survived consider ourselves heroes... the real heroes are those that gave their lives to save us, out of love and respect for their teammates and this great nation.
Semper Fi from Oklahoma.
Thank you for your wonderful comment and thank you for 24 years of service to your country. I’m still serving myself and I see a new generation of soldiers who might surprise some if push came to shove and we had to go to war
God bless you and all men like you that protect us from evil.
@@troywilliams6278 thank you.
Welcome home, and thank you for your service.
@@barrymckockinner9292 thank you.
Hearing these men break gets me every time. Truly the greatest generation. They did what they felt needed to be done and followed the call to service. Thank you to all WWII soldiers for your service. My grandpa was in the navy and lived until 2005 and my great uncle was KIA in Anzio tank command. ❤
Thanks to them! Your grandpa and your great uncle! Thanks and thanks to all those young boy!
I know exactly what you mean
Thats where Rogers Waters, of Pink Floyd, lost his father... Anzio.
Pete Toye looking like he’s on the brink of tears… this man, this son of a selfless hero understands the hell his dad went true. As far as people can understand who didn’t experience it themselves of course. That’s something amazing in my eyes. I don’t expect my kids or civilian friends to ever get to that point to be honest, and I hope they never will. I think any veteran of any war or conflict can agree on that
Well said
I read somewhere a while back that all these brave men are gone now. RIP Easy Company. You earned it.
These are the men of my dad’s generation. My dad served with an Army triple A unit on Guadalcanal 1943-44. I cannot watch this without getting a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes. These brave guys were heroes in my youth and even now at 71 they still are larger than life heroes. It will be a very sad day when the last of these men departs us to their eternal rest. God bless them. God bless America 🫡🇺🇸❤️
Your Dad was Savage to be able to live through that War! I’m 74, & I frequently watch War movies. It gives me hope that our Country can get through this time in its history. I was blessed to have a Dad like him!
My grandpa was a Marine on Guadacanal. Sometimes, when he’d had a little too much wine I could ask him about the war. I could sit at the table & listen for hours. It often ended when the tears filled his eyes. My grandpa was a very stern stoic man. These instances were the only time I think I ever saw him cry. I don’t even think I saw him cry when my grandma died. That’s how much the war affected him.
What a lovely insight and thank you for sharing
@@thehistoryexplorer my grandpa was typical of men of his generation. He said he was just “doing his duty”. It wasn’t until years after both he & my grandma passed that I overheard my Dad telling someone about how my grandma used to call him & tell him about the “nightmares” my grandpa was having again. PTSD wasn’t something anyone knew about during this time. It breaks my heart to think of my sweet loving grandfather going through this.
It's the best mini series I've ever watched and will continue to watch every time it comes on
I am proud to serve with Echo Company 506 Infantry in 1958 it was still a great company I was a photographer with the P.I.O. (Public Information Office) Sargent Savino was in charge!
That’s brilliant! Thank you for sharing
They can say what they want we were the proudest of the proud, now l am 83 and still remember those days as they took a 5'2" 17 year old kid that weighed 110 pounds that was told l needed to weigh 135 lbs before entering Jump school l was brought up on the Jump School before all the others and was told l would never finish Jump School as they Don't let scrawny kids in the paratroopers or words too that effect,they were right l was helped by another trooper during the last several hundred yards and l made it over the line with most every one else, the final run was 5 miles.
Thanks to all of the 101st for what they were in 1957 and far beyond...
It’s sad that all these men have passed and the current generation won’t get to meet any of these men. Every single one a hero in the own regard who save the world from tyranny. Easily the greatest generation and these men encompass that ethos. They fought and some sacrificed their lives a world away to save people they didn’t know. Thankful this series came out so future generations who aren’t history fans can see the incredible feats these men accomplished and the bonds they forged.
So much respect for these gentlemen. They are heroes in my book. Without their sacrifices and courage, my life would have looked way different right now.
Fantastic men who led extraordinary lives during this period
I hope the Lord will provide America with men like these very soon.
Amen.
I pity the younger generations that never got to meet men like these from the WW2 generation. They're almost all gone now, but it was one of my life's pleasures to have known a few WW2 vets, including my grandfather. They literally saved the world.
I wish I had known more about WW2 when I was a child and got to meet this fantastic generation that I treasure so much.
I worked 17yrs for a man that was a member of the Mauraders 1942 Air Force. What stories he told me.. What made me cry most was how much they cared for each other. When Gerry passed there were only two left..
both my grandfather's. birth in england in the navy. b25s both. funny huh? never knew eachother🤣 i knew them both a grizzled old men. they never talked about it. my one only talked about getting off before the British air crews , and he and his buddies would drink all the beer rations. i know from others they both saw action. one was shot down in the channel. the other listened to his tailgunner get blown away. i hear these stories from uncle's and grandmother's. they never talked about that stuff. they are both gone now. they were special men. taught me to work on cars, fish, hunt, and work. rip
And now we are losing everything these men fought for.
America's best days are behind us. Fact ✅️
The nazi's are storming Europe again?
@@keithinaz9769 They don't have to be. We must fight here for our freedoms like these men did overseas. It's unfortunate the fight for liberty is on our shores, but the battle is the same.
It’s heartbreaking.
Afraid so, but we all will "buck up" pretty soon from what I've heard on the "Ark" & what I've seen In Texas. I live in San Antonio, Texas. I called SA, Tx "Little Mexico." I guess we have about a million extra person's. We have gotten person's from every State & every country. We are in it now.
Heroes. Every one of them. Those who paid the ultimate price and those brothers who survived. They did a job. Thank god they succeeded for all our sakes. Thank ypu
I couldn’t agree more. Forever grateful
You’re exactly right! What would they think about how we we are defiling there sacrifices essentially spitting on them. Maybe the GOP should talk to any Dutchmen about what it was like to live under a dictatorship?
The greatest generation. My great grandfather and his brother was apart of that generation. Thank you 🫡
The greatest generation in my opinion
There were so many units both Airborne, Regular Soldiers, Marines, Sailors, Airman that had every bit as much pride, camaraderie, loss, guilt and joy. We just never got to hear their stories. Thank you Steven Ambrose for telling these men’s stories so we truly know the sacrifices they made during war and how the lived the remainder of their lives with their buddies in their hearts.
Dick Winters. ........I have no words how thankful we are for God picking him and giving him the knowledge to win the war. I salute you. sir even though you passed away in 2011.
I read his book, excellent read
now i see why wild bill was so wild. bless that man.
I'm 38 and i will never forget these men. i tell everyone to watch band of brothers.
i could listen to dick winters all day long, what a legendary human. he did the absolute best job, he never let anyone down.
he rests in eternal peace
Thank all for your service!!! Not all heroes wear capes!!!
Like so many others in these comments, it doesn't matter how many times I have heard these interviews - they still move me the same way they did the first time. Hero's in every sense of the word. We owe these Men and others like them the hugest debt of gratitude. These are the stories that should be taught and re-taught in History classes. Growing up in Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺 I'm glad my Grandparents and then parents taught me about these great Men. My Grandfather served in the Pacific theatre ❤🇦🇺
Thank you so much for your comment and for sharing your story with us all
To have met & talked & worked with these men is unbelievable, incredible. No higher honor could ever have been bestowed on the people who made the Band of Brothers miniseries. My father served in WW2, Battle of the Buldge. He was in the signal corps. But he came back so messed up with PTSD that he could never talk about it. And whenever he thought about it he cried. He died when I was 13. I wish I could have had the smarts to help him somehow. God bless all of these men. 🫡 🇺🇸
Well said 👏
Wow, God bless your father. May his memory be with you always. RIP, dear hero. 🇺🇸
@kathyg.5742 thank you 😊
As someone with ptsd, when you get stuck in the hole, it's very hard to ask for help, it's hard to accept help, and getting out a head that is closer to a wild animal that will lash out is hard to deal with.
@asmith1711 I know. I have it too.😢
This is why, as a mother to one child, I watch these documentaries and movies with a much different perspective than I did 18 years ago. I watch them now and think of my great grandmother. All of her sons went to war. My great uncles served in WWII, and my grandfather served in Korea because he was the youngest. I think of her, and wonder if she was proud of them. I know she must have been. And I know that she had to have been terrified. To hear a car turn down that dirt road, and wonder if it was a uniform with an envelope, coming to tell her that one of her children was gone. By miracle, they all came home. I don't know how. But I do know why. It was to return and make lives, families, and continue that legacy of service in their own children. I still think of her, often. And I don't know if I could have been that strong. I think of them. And I dont know how they did that. To be so determined to survive, fight and come home.
My dad served in Korea as a medic and engineer building and maintaining roads and bridges during his tour in 1951. Dad told me when he returned to the U.S. after disembarking the first thing he did was to call home to say he arrived and when his father heard his voice he started to cry.
I had the honor of meeting several of the Easy Company men while in Kuwait on my way to Iraq during a USO tour in 2008. I'll never forget them.
I believe every kid deserves to watch this documentary in school. They would bring up the best generation ever seen in mankind....
Imagine the stories, experiences and actions that we'll never get to know or hear about. Like WW1 soldiers we're witnessing the end of a generation that gave so much, and with their end goes our chance to hear first hand accounts and to be able to look into the eyes of the men who I personally see as the greatest generation I've lived alongside.
East Coy was just one company in a war of hundreds of companies. Like you say, imagine all the stories that were never told
Last voices of ww1 on youtube is a must watch.
What is the saddest thing is that when these men are gone there is no personal information
I know all the stories, so many companies
WW1 was much much worse than WW2. I couldn't imagine their stories.
This is even more moving than the miniseries itself in many ways. The humbleness and humility of these men is incredible in self-effacing their heroism in their service to our country and the world. We must never forget their sacrifices and their service.
The humility! Tell me about it. Gets me every time
This documentary will go down in the annals of time as one of the most important ever made
Absolutely! It’s my favourite
Babe's quote will live for eternity (as will all of the others) , but he would be proud to know that such vulnerability caught on camera is a rare thing. Priceless humanity
I’m binging Band of Brothers right now for the second time.
I always say it’s like an old friend - always good to see them again 👌
This documentary still brings so many tears of love and gratefulness even after all these years of watching it
Damn, when Winters says at the end about the question from his grandson … it gets me every time .. I’ve seen band of brothers maybe 15 times and I watch these videos every time they come up and it still gets me every time
Cannot find the words to do these brave men justice apart from feeling completely humbled.
I know what you mean
One of the best documentaries I’ve seen
I see why it's called the greatest generation. Every one of those guys was humble and grateful.
This was the greatest generation and the likes of these guys will never walk this earth again: God Bless them all
I agree!
Wholesome yet sad watching this, knowing they all the next life now! 🥺🙏❤💯
This series is like an old friend. Always good to see it again
It's crazy to me the clarity and editing of these interviews. The footage is getting to be pretty old now but it was masterfully edited and it feels new and fresh still... This footage and just their words is a national treasure.
I was so lucky to have met very many of East Company Vets having worked on Band of Brothers and the popularity afterwards as well as having taken part in 13 D- Day celebrations. Super proud to have met and talked with so many of them. In 5 years theyll all be gone. I pray that the younger generation in the 82nd and 101st realizes that they are standing on the shoulders of Giants. The greatest generation.
I’m so jealous! BoB made me join the Army. I wish I’d had met more veterans
I'm pretty sure all of easy company are gone now 😢
@@therealjimshady100 I believe you are right. So sad
Respect for these men !!! Thanks ( France )
May all the heroes of Easy Company Rest In Peace. Every high school history class in America should show this video yearly.
Incredibly brave and humble men all.
Their love for each other is an example to us all .
Their recognition of their fallen comrades
as The Heros catches me in the throat every time. They talk of duty and not letting each other down.
The example they have set is a benchmark that my generation can only struggle to attain it seems. They have now all passed and I believe God rewards them eternally. ❤
They demonstrate the very best of us
I never get bored of listening to these men talk unfortunately my grandad ex ww2 royal marine wouldn't say anything about combat he just used to say that he spent the war looking after the wrns or that he was at the battle of ham shanks and pea soup.
Thanks for the comment! Appreciate you sharing that story
It always strikes me when these battle hardened gentlemen have to fight their tears telling their stories after all these decades. Very touching. It clearly gives us a glimpse into how brutal all their experiences were.
NO DOUBT the greatest generation!
No doubt here buddy
Why? Don't you think men who have served together in other times, or indeed recently, and seen combat, don't share exactly the same pressures and attributes? They might not have been fighting Hitler, and sadly their war might have been a futile waste of time against, effectively, an unbeatable enemy, but there are heroes among them. In fact, when they come home - broken - there is no victory to celebrate. Just another news story which quickly fades.
God Bless you Men and your Families! I love you so much! ❤️ Your service saved us all! God be with you all! ❤️🇺🇸
Absolutely!
1943 is the year my dad was born. if not for all those brave soldiers, i may not have been here to comment on this video. saying thank you just isnt enough. i owe my life to them.
This is an extremely well done presentation. I have read several books written by and about these men. This program brings their faces and pride to back.
My grandfather served with the 1st Army 3rd armored div. He landed 1 week behind d-day and went all the way to Berlin. He told me once they were fighting and walking for a while and when they finally got to stretch out at this church they were only settled for ,30 min when in came a intelligence officer and said get up. Get up the Germans broke thru the lines....😮 Like the quiet man he was, all he said was,. So we got up and the battle of the bulge began.
He was such a great example of a man. Im 42years old and still catch myself saying would grandpa act like this??? He was my hero,i just wish I could have told him. He died last year at 98 he was 2 months from his 99th and had ALL His TEETH and was dang proud of it too. Thank you God for colin Ogden
What a legacy! Thank you for sharing. You must be so proud
Thank you for sharing memories of your grandfather. I know you are deeply proud of him and please know like the men of Easy he too is a HERO!
As a 37 yr old I can’t help but have tears watching these stories. It brings back memories of my grandmother telling me about the war as I grew up and also an elderly couple I cared for for years would tell me stories. I loved sitting there listening to everything in amazement. Every school in America should be required to play all of these WWII documentaries! We don’t teach enough about our Veterans as we should. Every illegal that comes to our country to gain citizenship should be required to learn about our fellow American hero’s and what these brave men scarified for our freedom today! These men and women should NEVER be forgotten!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 our younger generation doesn’t even realize they have a voice to complain about “equalities” ONLY because of these brave men!
These are the Greatest Generation. God bless them every single one.
Yes they sure are, my dad was one of them.
My maternal grandfather said that he felt worse for the people in the cities during the depression. He was poor, but at least they could grow a garden. They had cows and chickens, so they had milk and eggs. Sugar was precious, and his candy was lumps of brown sugar. Occasionally one of those crumbly peppermint sticks. They could hunt and fish. I saw a picture of the run down shantys that people stayed in, in muddy grassland that would later become Central Park. When I saw that, his sentiments were correct. Though some farmers were loosing their farms. He was so thoughtful and considerate, I miss him so much.
A very moving tribute. As the son of a WWII Ranger I can testify to the strength of the bond between such men.
A different time. What a group of men
This country will never again see individuals with this kind of en mass stamina, charisma, and wholesome regard for their country and fellow man.
All were humble. ALL were heroes. All are now gone, but NEVER will be forgotten. Rest in PEACE Easy Company. ❤
These Men won the war from the Nazis. The greatest generation. Thank you is not even a good word. Our country salutes and honors you more than we can say. Thank you all so much! Today our country needs more people like you. You all went through hell. We have no idea what that is. Thank God.Today sadly our country could never win a world war. This needs to change and it will. Very few still alive but I salute all of you a Navy veteran myself. When your in the service we are brothers fighting for the same cause. Your service will be remembered and honored for the end of time. Thank you.
The best of the best! Real men may their sacrifice never be forgotten.
Couldn’t agree more
Salute to all this real Heroes , that fought for the liberty of all Europe...
These men as well as all who served deserve our honor and respect.
The casting for M. Guarnere was perfect.
With all the crap our kids see in school, this should be required viewing, the documentaries and the show itself.
Best box set ever made this 🙌 everytime ive watched this it gets me everytime !! There probably all gone now cus this was made 20 odd years ago !! RIP TO THEM ALL 🙏 REAL HEROES 🕊
What a excellent documentary 😢
Absolutely
one can't help but be moved to tears listening to these legends ❤ i was born in london mid 1950s and would probably be speaking a different language without ALL heroes of WW2. I can relate to words spoken here of being lost when leaving military and going back into civvy street. I joined the royal navy uk in 1970 peacetime purely to get away from my father's fists and at age 16 i went round the world twice and served on a helicopter cruiser and after 5 years went back into civvy street but was TOTALLY lost. I felt I'd landed on a distant planet. I've ALWAYS missed the comradeship of 925 crew on a military ship and those 5 years have been the ONLY time I've trusted ANYONE Implicitly. Okay, sure, it was peacetime, I've absolutely no idea what real combat is like but I do know what military comradeship feels like in PEACETIME and can only imagine that in conflict that comradeship would increase to an eternity. Have watched B.O.B soooo many times, I just don't know why and there are constant moments that just have no way to describe the emotions that you are seeing on screen knowing the real legends went thru and you just get choked up with the enormity of it all. I mean no disrespect to ANY country of veterans but I have always felt that without the heroes from the Good ole US of A England would have been Toast against such an almighty opposition, even though the gallant pilots in The Battle of Britain put up a Formidable display of British Unity with all Victorious Gallantry but the military from America just gave all the troops that extra turbo boost to strive forward to victory. I know nothing, I ramble on too much but I've always been ever grateful for just EVERYTHING EVERYONE did to stop a war machine with warped ideas 9 years before I was born. Thank YOU, and God Bless you ALL 🙏❤
The courage of these guys has always amazed me. Could I have done that? No, I don't think so. My Uncle Tony was one of them. Spoke hardly anything about the ordeal in the years after.
Have you done any research into your uncle Tony?
They faced down evil with everything they had - their lives. There is no greater bravery. I'm emotional because of the gratefulness I feel for their bravery. They fought the greatest moral cause for our benefit. Thank you, sirs and ma'ams.
Band of brothers and The Pacific are the best series about war and II WW. What a stories!!!!!
💯
Not all heroes wear capes...truly the greatest generation!
"Grandson asked Grandpa, were you a hero in the war? Grandpa says no...but I served with a company of heroes."
Brilliant
These men were truly part of the greatest generation. I have the band of brothers set and I watch it every year sometimes twice a year I invite friends to come watch
We celebrate and spend days cooking out and watching 2 episodes each day until done
506 PIR -101st - WWII. Nothing more to say.
I'm emotionally stone cold in life. but watching band of brothers and this documentary makes me cry every time.
my grandad was over in alamein chasing rommel with monty. and never got to hear any stories. i love that we have documented these stories.
most ppl who think they're depressed with modern problems or unhappy with life have no idea what hardship is.
remember all these men were boys at that time. and they did the impossible
Absolutely amazing men. True men. Thank you.
This deserves all the awards!
It was a true honor to meet all of you!
God bless each and everyone of you ❤️
Thank you guys, you only deserve the greatest respect! Cheers from holland.
I’ve been watching the BOB series and this episode on DVD at home. There’s hardly words to express the gratitude for these brave soldiers, and those who sacrificed their lives.
My great uncle was killed in action in Italy, January 1944. And I didn’t know him, but knew my aunt and great grandmother. They left me a box of photos and letters of his remains reparation to be returned to his hometown in Missouri. Several photos of his graveside burial service.
I’ve been able to write a couple tributes and memorials in his memory. The least I could ever do.
God bless all the veterans and veteran’s families.
Pfc Everett H. Glenn, KIA near Mount Porchia Italy January 1944
I cannot watch this without crying.
I had the extreme privilege to get befriended with an Arnhem Battle veteran ( and his family) and have seen and joined those Arnhem Battle veterans during several commemorations and have seen and experienced their bond. I will never forget those days. And documented that in my channel.
But there are only a few veterans left these days.
Everyone is who commenting on this video should also believe that we have to do our part in the present. You have so-called Americans willing to toss the Constitution and democracy because their guy lost an election. I served four years in the Army, and I will not discard the sacrifices of these men, nor any other American who has served and sworn an oath to support and defend the Constitution. We owe them this much.
I agree. We must do our part to save the Constitution. Sadly, if you think Trump was the only, or even the worst, politician trying to destroy the liberty of our people, then you aren't paying close enough attention.
@@NotARussianDisinfoBot I'm paying attention and that's why I said what I said. My focus is on the primary target first and I'll deal with the secondary targets afterwards. Based on your comment, you would bypass the tank to focus on the infantry when the tank will do the most damage immediately. Maybe you need to pay more attention to how to process in tactical situations.
Well, as far as I can tell, the mainstream media is producing a large amount of propaganda and sadly many people are falling for it. For example, claiming that J6 was an insurrection, despite 5000+ hours of footage made available that clearly debunks those claims. It begs the question, why do the media and the politicians push so hard to hide evidence that disagrees eith the message they want to tell? Wouldn't they want the truth?
I am convinced that if our current media and politicians were in power during world War two, they'd have painted the National Socialists out as the heroes and Easy company out as the monsters.
Were you aware that 5000+ hours of footage of Jay 6 has been made available? I mean, that's a really good place to start.
@DavidDuarte-li9rb It appears that my earlier comment was blocked. Which is unfortunate, there was no reason to do so. Sadly it means we will not be able to have a genuine conversation.
I'm glad you're so excited and eager to defend the liberty of the people. I hope that you are able to see past the lies and propaganda and genuinely preserve that liberty. There are many groups claiming to want to preserve liberty and democracy, but their actions do the opposite. Your earlier comments make me think you have been listening only to those groups, and not considering why there are so many people who disagree.
@@NotARussianDisinfoBot I worked for the RNC in the mid-1980s under Reagan for three years and my boss was Tom Hofeller. I also attended West Point in 1980, so I am well versed in the country, its history, and the enemies within. Look up Tom Hofeller and get back to me. Also, look up COINTELPRO. Lies and propaganda? I'm a 62 year old black guy who grew up in DC. I was living in South East DC in 1968 when King was assassinated. I don't think that I'm the one who you want to make assumptions about.
