A day in Bastogne Band of Brothers 101st Airborne Division / E-Company

- Опубліковано 11 кві 2012
- The Siege of Bastogne was an engagement between American and German forces at the Belgian town of Bastogne, as part of the larger Battle of the Bulge. The goal of the German offensive was the harbor at Antwerp. In order to reach it before the Allies could regroup and bring their superior air power to bear, German mechanized forces had to seize the roadways through eastern Belgium. Because all seven main roads in the Ardennes mountain range converged on the small town of Bastogne, control of its crossroads was vital to the German attack. The siege lasted from 20--27 December when the besieged American forces were relieved by elements of General George Patton's 3rd Arrmy
75 years ago a bunch of young Men made it all happen .God bless and thank you!
I'm from Bastogne,thank for this beautiful tribute to the city and monuments,god bless all of our soldiers.
My father was in the 101st Airborne, I was named after one of his buddies killed in action.
You be proud of that!
So was my dad 101st. Airborne Screaming Eagles.He was also one of the " Battered Bastards Of BASTOGNE " . He passed 6 years ago he would be 104 today. Never really opened up about the war till his mid 80s.Sometimes he would try to talk about things he had been a part of and would just stop and talk about something else but after he turned 80 he started to tell me things that just made ya wounder how in the Hell did they hold out that long and then make it out of there and make it home. "God Bless The Airborne"
my great great grandfather was general sink be glad you met him. I only have stories
There were many "bands of brothers" in our armed services during the war,thank GOD we had all of them,the Greatest Generation,to be sure...
I'm so worried about our current generation..........
Y'all ahould be thankinking the French Resistance and the Ruasians. Without them the Germans win.
@@F_ckAllTrumpVoters Without American supplies the war would have been won by Germany and we would all be hailing the swastika. Russia would not have lasted a year without American supplies and the British would not have been able to have an counter offensive.
I don't say this to take away from anyone's stories but it's a lot more than just fighting of the front lines.
@@billotto602 A year after your comment it still rings true..along with our nation...but being worried shows we notice enough to worry.
As an American soldier, I thank you for this video and I want to tell you not to apologize for your ancestors. All nations have people in their past who made egregious mistakes or frankly did evil, so let's move on from here and now. Let us also remember that the average young of soldier of the Wehrmacht was not that different from the American GI--they were serving their country in the only way that they knew.
Well spoken,thanks for your service
Well said the past should accepted for what is the past.
The American soldier and the German soldier fought for two different reasons.
Glad to read your comment.
The Greatest Generation, a title well-deserved.
I really like this video and as a German let me join you in your appreciation of the American soldier's sacrifice and what it still means to me today - I can bring up my children in a free Europe and their legacy reminds me every day that freedom requires some sort of sacrifice from time to time. We cannot change history but I think if we as Germans learned something from the past we should be embassadors of freedom and human rights.
Not really free tho Mielten Ra .... : (
Mielten Ra My father fought in Europe along side his best friend a full blood German. Ben Bits.
chazz Lucas Better than being dead!
True
Hi Guys, I want to take a moment to thank you all for your nice and wonderfull comments. I´m still getting goosebumps and tears of joy when I still see your comments after 7 years when I was uploading this tribute. -Your german friend -
Very cool video! Thank you so much for keeping my grandfather and all the other soldiers alive in thought. Like one person said " no apology is necessary". My grandfather fought at Bastogne with the 101st. He was killed in the Vietnam war. Major Homer L. Pease. I don't know what regiment he fought with I never got to meet him. He was definitely in one of those foxholes somewhere in Bastogne. Thanx again for the video!! People like you deserve peaceful lives
Thank you for this it means alot!
And I lived in Germany for 2 years with the United states Army. Loved Germany and the people.
Germans have come a very long way since WW2. Thanks for posting video of American hero
Fantastic video. Thank you for producing it and sharing it. It brought tears........my father was part of that operation. May their great and selfless sacrifice NEVER be forgotten or taken for granted of all freedom loving people of this earth. Thank you and God bless.
Johnny Wife I have to agree with you there. About the Greatest Generation. My parents are part of that generation and I hope that the following generations can continue to appreciate what they did.
Thank you for this special video!
You never have to apologize for your ancestors, good or bad!
You don't get to pick from who you are a son or daughter.
The best way to get away from any potential embarrassment or guilt is to live YOUR life the right way.
Be a good person and DO good!
Build, don't break.
Speak and act positive, not negative.
Never follow big crowds and let them determine what you do and think.
Think for yourself; God gave you a brain. Use it.
But always stand for real human values, helping the world become a better place.
And learn lessons from human history.
You see? You guys did learn those lessons; that's what this video is about!
Thank you. God bless!
one of these days i will go to bastogne to pay tribute to my fallen brothers of the 101st, as well as see the history behind my grandfathers epic fight in ww2 in that very same town that my battallion got its name and its legacy
Wow, surprise ending.
Let me say this: as a Canadian with Scottish ancestry, my favourite European country to visit is Germany, no question.
Hard-working, straight-up, creative, inventive, and industrious people who are always hospitable, accommodating and love to have a good time. Scenic place with great blend of architecture, both past and present. Cleanest, most organized country I've ever visited, the backbone and conscience of the EU.
I have one uncle buried in France from the First World War and another uncle buried south of Munich from the Second War.
What's past is past.
brettfavreify Thank you so much
yea past is past but, let us never forget....
Depends what you mean by that.
I was lucky and fortunate enough to live and serve in the USAF in West Germany during the late 70s and the early 80s, I have to agree with you 100% on your evaluation of the Good German People and their BEAUTIFUL country. You said all I could say and a bit more. I enjoyed going to a Gasthof drink some excellent Bier and eat some very tasty food on a cold winters night, sit around with some older German gentlemen and hear their war stories and their sense of humor bullshit stories. Great enjoyable memories! Wish I could have been able to retire and live my last days in Germany. I find it strange that the country we wanted to destroy back then, because of our so called allies wanted them to be destroyed, turned out to be our best ally today. I believe we can count on the German people better than the Russians, French and even the British.
All of the things you say just serve to reinforce why it’s still incomprehensible that a civilized, intelligent, and cultured nation of 80 millions followed an Austrian corporal down the road to hell.
Currahee! 3 miles up, 3 miles down.
Respect for all the Dick Winters during this battle!
I was stationed in Germany and found the people hard working, honest, and very decent. If anything, Germany is an example of how a small number of people (the Nazi) can lead decent people down a path they would never expect and never agree to if given the choice. Thank you for the video and tribute to those who liberated Europe.
Thank you again,,,the boys always said,,you were good people,,and I will always be live them,,THANK YOU again,,,we will never forget
I took a tour from Brussels to Bastone and Leis -the American Cemetery for fallen heroes (thank you to Belgium for your care), the museum and monument, then to Jacks Woods in the Ardenne where the 101st dug in. All I could think is that I owe a debt I cannot repay to people I never met. It was an incredible tour and one I not only will never forget, but one that humbled me beyond words. The Belgium people are wonderful stewards of our heroes. It was incredible to have someone hear you speak English ( I was speaking to a U of Miami tourist walking past the outdoor cafe) and have a Belgium ask if your American only to say thank you....and of course god bless our heroes.
Dear German friends,
Thank you for this wonderful pictorial tour of Bastogne with commemoration of US troops of WW2. You do not need to apologize for the acts of your ancestors. I am glad we are allies and friends now. Peace ✌ ☮
So many young men who never got the chance to grow old. Heroes all.
Someone in the 1/6 group I"m in posted this brilliant step by step video display......Thank You to all who gave their all.
wow. lucky dog. I'd love to see Bastonge and Foy where those guys fought. Nice vid. Danka
I go to Normandy every year, I always have the same tears and lump in my throat every year,god bless you all an ex NCO of British Forces(Airborne Forces)
Thank you for your service, sir. God Bless you. 😊

I am so Humbled .. My Grandfather Blair Glen Rairigh was a SURVIVOR of the 101st Airborne and in this war Battle Of The Bulge ... To think that I and my 9 children are HERE today because this TRUELY AWSOME MAN !!! THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT FOUGHT AND ALL THAT DIDN'T MAKE IT BACK !! GOD BLESS THE USA AND ALL OUR SOLDIERS PAST AND PRESENT !!
Thank you for putting this video together. The tank in the center of town a 2nd armored division, 41st armored infantry regiment which was my grandfathers regiment.
God bless the citizens of Belgium for honoring these men. Words cannot describe the love I feel for them. Awesome.
No words to describe the emotions one feels after watching this incredible video. Thank you.
Without the memories of what happened in Europe, we are destined to repeat the sins of the past. I am a former 101st soldier and seeing Normandy was very emotional. Thank you to the greatest generation, we remain free. Don’t forget that.
The comments/apology from our German friend. So touching. Thank you. We must forgive and still never forget.
GOD BLESS All the men and women who fought against the Nazi's, it doesn't matter age or country. This wonderful town is a glimpse into what we all fought for!
Beautifully created and well deserved tribute!
101st Museum in Bastogne is one of the best . Sadly didn't have enough time at the Bastogne War Museum , but thanks for this video.
I ’m from Taiwan, Republic of China. I ’ve seen Brother Dien ’s movie. I also know that during the Battle of Bath, German soldiers or American soldiers sacrificed their precious lives here. They are all heroes and because of their sacrifices they have exchanged their peace and freedom. The world can live forever without war.
Eckbeard TV : I am praying for the people of Germany and especially for my distant relatives there, as well as the rest of Europe in this time of unbelievable political misbehavior. It seams we have all been suckered into doing dangerous and self-destructive things AGAIN !
Thanks for sharing this to us. I wish I could travel there and see and feel those remnants from the War.
(got teary-eyed watching your video)
We're in a different kind of war now but it always is good versus evil. Let's hope we have the courage now that these men showed. God be with us.
Beautiful place. I can definitely live there.
This is why Saving Private Ryan moved a nation to tears.......Real patriots honor our citizen soldiers, their service and sacrifices...Many of whom never came home to live out their lives....God Rest Them All...
The price of freedom isn’t cheap. God Bless Them All ! Thank You !
Been there. .
seen that..A great Battleground.
Not to mention the Road side Cafe aptly called "Le Nuts"
To all of those brave men, no amount of money can repay you for all you did. No amount of praise will suffice. For those who were effected by your sacrifice, all we can do is remember and be humble. Such great men.
There are enough words to express my gratitude to the GREATEST generationn
Great video. You don't have to apologize there at the end😂😂
My grandfather was at Bastogne with the 101st. He made the Normandy jump but missed out on Market Garden due to his wounds recieved in action in Normandy for which he received a bronze star and his first purple heart. He was killed in Vietnam on 11/19/1966 Major Homer L. Pease was his name. Your welcome and we forgive your beautiful country. Hitler and the true Nazis were the perpetrators not the individual soldiers and definitely not the future generations. Cool video!!
The German people were not nazi's. They were just patriotic Germans who got tricked by a crazy man who could talk well. No apology is necessary. It is good to have you on our side now.
Just like odumbo speak well about your country and destroy it like it says in his books he supposedly wrote
We now have Trump. Crazy shit can happen anywhere.
Thanks for the pictures. Wish I can go someday...
My dear friend,
your video is a beautiful tribute to those who gave their lives for the ideal of a better world.
I confess that moved me deeply to see these images so striking.
Produce something requires sensibildiade rare nowadays.
Congratulations. I'm doing my research for a trip I intend to take to local World War II, from Normandy, through the Netherlands, Market Garden and the Battle of the Bulge and his video is just the most fantastic thing I've seen on the subject.
Also your video inspired me, hopefully I can produce something as sensational as you did.
Congratulations. Greetings.
Mein lieber Freund,
Ihr Video ist eine schöne Hommage an diejenigen, die ihr Leben für das Ideal einer besseren Welt gab.
Ich gestehe, dass mich tief bewegt, diese Bilder so auffallend zu sehen.
Produzieren erfordert etwas sensibildiade selten heutzutage.
Herzlichen Glückwunsch. Ich mache meine Forschung für eine Reise, die ich beabsichtige, lokale Zweiten Weltkrieg von der Normandie über die Niederlande, Market Garden und die Ardennenoffensive und sein Video zu nehmen, ist einfach das tollste, was ich zu dem Thema gesehen.
Auch Ihr Video inspiriert mich, hoffentlich kann ich etwas so sensationell wie du getan hast zu produzieren.
Herzlichen Glückwunsch. Grüße.
Thank you so much !
I appreciate that.
Best regards from germany.
What a better World we have today due to our Brothers in Arms.
Band of extra ordinary men I snappy salute all of you
All USA vets, the Men of Easy Company represent you all.
Imagine a world without the USA to stop tyranny.
Russia, China, North Korea, Middle East countries would try to take over.
God Blessed this county to do good.
We are not perfect but we......
The World’s best hope for Peace.
Looking forward to seeing this first hand soon. I've planned a "Airbourne" trip. First the Airbourne memorial and the "bridge too far" in Arnhem. Then Eindhoven, where nearby there are 2 fine war museums and a garden memorial to the Airbourne 101st... then on to Bastogne to see all in your video... Thanks for sharing!
When the sons and daughters of the WW2 vets pass on, I fear all this will forgotten.
Sarah Wender only to those who don't care to remember.....I know I won't this is why I serve today
Not if I can help it! Dad was Sam Jacobs 508th PIR 101st Airborne Co H . 1914-2000 Me JJ USN VF142 Tomcats CV-66 CVN-69 1975-79 Thanks to all our brave Vets!
My kin folk was there with Patton. Freedom isn't free but America will always be ready to pay the price.
One,,I don't pass judgment, two,,thank you for the thanks
I watched this this morning and thought...... What a same the respect that these guys earned for them selves and the US is being destroyed by a President that cares for nothing or anyone that does not think he is "THE GREATEST" He does not have the same morel commitment and dedication to duty that they had
I really really need to go see that some day. Nice video.
Got goosebumps when i see the names of the people that died there.
A little correction though. The tank at 7:18 is a M10 "Achilles" Tank Destroyer. Just though i'd point that litte thing out.
This is what Stephen Ambrose didn't tell you:
The Forgotten Angel of Bastogne trailer
I just got back from there today. Thanks for posting this as sadly I forgot my camera, so at least my wife has some idea of where I've been for the last three days!!
Game smash - don't just limit yourself to Bastogne. Trois Ponts, St Vith, Malmedy etc are all worth a visit.
Thank you for your comment.
I`m will go to the DDayFestival in Normandy this year.
Next time I remember your words and take a look at this places.

Best regards from Germany
GameSmash- It will be very busy. The 70th anniversary is probably the last one that many veterans will be able to attend.
I spent a week in Normandy. There is so much to see!
Mr.Smashtag
I did the Normandy tour in June2012, while stationed in Germany. I'm trying to convinence the family to do another Europe tour in Belgium, so that I can walk the woods of Bastogne. I had a opportunity while I was assigned in Germany, but missed the chance for the Bastogne tour. Great vid, I need to put up my France tour vids and pictures.
We are all in this together,,in no time at all,,we maybe thanking you
Great video man.
beautiful tribute. all we have is each other.
Was just there for the 75th Anniversary in 2019. Elderly man shared pics of him age 3 w GI who lived w his family for a time during the war & after ... beyond touching and poignant. History
deaddropsd1972 was any living GI vets there while you were there?
ALPHA6IX not that I saw. But I think 1 or 2 were on schedule for appearance
What a beautifull video. Congratulations for your tribute
Thank you very much !
My uncle was killed dec 23 1944 at the battle of the bulge. 19 years old buried in Luxembourg
Great video, thanks for sharing...101 likes... it should stay like that :)
As a combat paratrooper veteran (3/506th. Inf. (Currahees)101st. Airborne Division 'Screaming Eagles') Vietnam/Cambodia I wish to thank you for this presentation, it is deeply appreciated. As for your apology at the end, there need be none. Instead, I would say history should be a lesson AND WARNING of what happens when a people follow the dictates of a Godless, perverted, hate-filled ideology instead of the wisdom, grace, and PEACE of Jesus Christ. All I would ask is that you pray for the American people since we currently have such a demonic ideology on the rise in the Democratic Party. Please pray for us, and I will pray for you. God bless and Currahee!!!
great videolist with tha great sountraxk by Michael Kamen R.I.P.
Nice video and i wish i've Been to bastogne
No apologies needed sir! None at all..... from the proud son of a WW2 vet
Did anyone take notice on one memorial that fund were donated by Mr and Mrs. Tom Hanks, There are still some decent types left in Hollywood and we need to support them. Tom was hired to do a movie. He didn't have to donate a sizable amount for a memorial as indicated by the fact that his name is above all the rest.
When you have seen Band of Brothers and know how 3 of them died feels kind of weird
same here...
Nice. Good work.
Army, Air Force, Navy or Marines, it doesn't really matter. What it comes down to is the man or woman standing by your side when you need them. Something many civilians don't really understand. I learned that the hard way after serving 21 years in the military.
Great video but a couple of mistakes, mainly the vehicles, the sherman was either a M4 or M4A3, and the other was a M10 Wolverine, or Achilles
And thank you my german friends for sharing this video...
Dios bendiga a estos hombres que con su osadía y salvando todos los obstáculos, le brindaron a América y al mundo la libertad de no tener que ser más amenazados por la pesadilla del fascismo.
Good video. No need to apologize at the end. You are not responsible for what happened 71 years ago.
Great video and such a fantastic place! Weird feeling to walk around in the forrest at Foy. I felt like I was not alone even there was nobody ells around. I am going there again this easter. Where is the tank turret in the beginning of the film placed?
Obrigado por vcs sempre lembra desse feito ....
Oque seria da humanidade hoje 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 Deus abençoe sempre ...
Fico muito emocionado pra dizer a verdade....😭😭😭😭😭
Thanks gor sharing
My Mother was born in 1936 in North Wales UK.. when she was about 8 years old , a German Aircraft ,returning from a bombing run in Liverpool, fired on her and her 12 year old friend they obviously missed.. to her dying day, she hated any German or Japanese male or female of any kind.. I completely understand why.
101ST AIRBORNE WILL LIVE FOREVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AIRBORNE RULE
Great vid but it lasted longer then dec 20th to 27th as you put in your write up
Wow.....I'm speechless. Great video, and I hope to visit there when we go to Germany next spring. It would be amazing to be there, yet somber.
Would we be able to see most everything in 1 day, or should we take longer? I really history and especially that era. I don't want to feel rushed and want to see as much as I can.
Thanks in advance for your response, and once again......great video!
Thank you so much !

Hey I´m from Heidelberg, Germany :)
I'm proud to wear this patch 101st Rakasans
But as an American,,thank you for your thanks
Awesome video... I really enjoyed it..
This summer on June 1st were taking a family vacation to Europe for 21 days to enjoy all the beautiful places..more importantly, to do our best retracing my grandfathers foot steps during WW2...
He was a paratrooper 101st airborne / 506th / C,D company / 3rd,1st battalions/carried a BAR throughout the war.
Couple of questions for anyone that has knowledge about these museums/monuments.
1. Do the airborne museums/monuments list all Divisions/company's/soldiers names that fought in this battle?
Or just the soldiers that paid the ultimate price?
Any recommendations for a certain your guide service?
Since I have his army discharge papers I'm assuming it should make it easy to look him up at the airborne museums or monuments?
Since I have his uniforms,medals does anyone think Id regret not bring it with us?
I appreciate the help.. Thank you
THERE WAS MORE 101ST GUYS THERE THAN E , CO............ MY DAD WAS THERE, SCHRAPNEL IN HIS CROTCH , FROZEN FEET AND STILL STAYED ON THE LINE. I HAVE A BIRTH MARK WHERE HE TOOK THE SCHRAPNEL FROM A 88 TREE BURST. ROBERT M. COWAN
These dudes were hardcore 👍🏼
Salute !
You mention the jumbo but ITS actualy a M10 that you are sitting on. Good video btw just wanted to say what the tank actualy is.
Beautiful, hero’s deserve it, the 506th
Danke für dein Kommentar paganviodio.
Ja leider zu wenige .
Ich bin nächstes Jahr am 70th Anniversary D-Day vor Ort.
Werde dann wieder ein Video hochladen.
Grüße Julian
thank God for those American Heroes
a moving tribute
bravo
I hope i get to go there some day
TO THE GERMANS: No need to apologize, my friend. Yes, the Nazis were on the wrong side of history. The regime was totally evil, but it is now 70 years later, and all is forgiven. Stop beating yourselves up. Germany has a beautiful culture, and it is time to move on. As long as America doesn't have to apologize for anything from its past. To keep suffering from the past is ridiculous!
This is GOD! Yesterday I heard from a D-Day paratrooper who National French Legend they the French thought was a ledgend for getting his wounded buddies beer in his helmet! France has 4 soldiers beer I think, it's on the net.👍🇺🇸
The soundtrack to this movie is beautiful. My 101st Airborne father was with the 502nd PIR, Reg. Hq. as a radio communicator who served under Col. Cole, Col. Michaelis and Col. Chappuis. They were The Greatest Generation. God Bless All of our soldiers, past, present and future....

Yes Mam, You are absolutely correct, we should all remember what these the greatest generation of men and women who defended against the evil and defeated it.
Splendid recollection Jenny. I am an Australian and WE REMEMBER YOU.

101 st airborne never need help from Patton
The Forgotten Angel of Bastogne trailer
I had a good friend of mine who died about 4 yrs ago who was in the 327Th 101st glider reg at Bastogne (later became the 401st) If you do the research you will understand, sgt/Lt Mike Campana, all you hear about is easy company and they didnt do anything at Bastogne!!! Mike would never talk about it but on Dec. 25 1944 they got overrun and decimated the Germans....The Glidermen off the 101st are the ones that held Bastogne!!! Read! Not to mention his company was the ones that held the Germans at the road block for 3 days....Band of Brothers didnt do any justice!
