When the men of Easy Company find out the war is over, they play a game of baseball to celebrate. This is a particularly touching scene because that, despite the violence they saw and participated in, these soldiers are still young men. Through the darkness, they can find light. Plus, the baseball game is meaningful because, for most of the episode, the soldiers believed that most of them would be sent to Japan to fight. However, with the war over, they were free to enjoy a good, old-fashioned American baseball game. Unfortunately though, it seems that said baseball game never actually happened in real life. What happened to Easy Company following the Band of Brothers finale is both sad and uplifting, as each man followed their own unique path. First and foremost, Major Winters survived World War II and went on to work at Lewis Nixon's family business, Nixon Nitration Works. He also married and had children. In 1951, Winters was briefly called back to service during the Korean War, though fortunately, he saw no combat. In the end, Winters settled in the foothills of the Blue Mountains and later, helped Stephen Ambrose write "Band of Brothers." Lewis Nixon struggled with alcoholism and failed marriages post-war, but eventually fell in love with a Japanese-American woman and traveled the world. Buck Compton had a flourishing career after the war, going from being a police officer with the LAPD to retiring as Associate Justice of the California Court of Appeal in 1990. Bill Guarnere and Joe Toye, men who both lost legs during the Siege of Bastogne, lived long lives wherein they married, had children, and helped organize Easy Company reunions. Other Easy Company soldiers such as Moose Heyliger, Harry Welsh, Clarence Hester and Bob Strayer continued to attend these reunions until at least 1980.

Thanks for all the information about Easy Company. I watch "Band of Brothers" series a lot. I bought the video box set. Also I bought the "Pacific" box set too.Semper Fi from an old Marine Sergeant
It must have been great to live in a time when people could afford to buy houses and cars, raise children, and have a job that paid a decent wage. Reagan and his Wall Street bankster cronies put an end to that.
They did such a great job on the story of these men, it was not just characters it was real men. You developed feelings for them and whenever they got killed or injured you felt the pain.
I hate watching this series now. I spent four years in the 506th (‘76-‘81) and am still a member of both the 101st Airborne Division and the 506th Regimental Associations, regularly receiving their newsletters. That includes the obituaries. All of the guys you see in the opening scenes of each episode are all gone now. Just a painful reminder of the passing of some great Americans. I only watch the series on rare occasions now, but am always impressed by the men and their stories. Kudos to the actors and producers of BoB for doing such a fine tribute.
I can honestly say in my opinion this is one of the Greatest mini series ever. The quality of the acting was nothing short of superb. 🇬🇧 Scottish Veteran
He went to my church growing up in Ephrata PA. He's buried there. He was so friendly. Never watched the series until after he died. He probably appreciated I didn't treat him like a celebrity, we talked every weekend almost. My dad was into WWII reenactment, and dick would come over and check out my dad's gear. Everything was always original. The m1 carbine I have today was used in the eastern theater. Dick loved my dad's German wwII motorcycle with a sidecar haha
I bet I've met your dad I did WWII Reenacting for yrs never missing the Battle of the bulge in Allen town at Indian town gap. In fact thats where I met Dick Winters many times
Maj Winters in his book said that he was placed with a British family before d-day in aldbourne who were lovely; if i recall correctly he sat in a stone bench near the family household and stayed there for a while not long before d-day, this elderly marriage came over and wish him good luck, they told him their son got killed but they cared about him like if he was their own. After the war and due to band of brothers and HBO he returned there, sat in the same bench and remembered the marriage. Side note: what a great work from the cast, portraying that face filled with survivors guilt: "so it's over, i'm going home.. why me?"
I noticed that too. Have seen it plenty of times while talking to my patients in the SNFs I work agency in who are Vets of WW2, Korea, Nam, DS, and even (sadly) GWOT. That gut-wrenching middle between the 1,000-yard-PTSD-stare and that glassed, emotionless, sullen glance of just “I……can’t explain….” It’s heartbreaking but at the same time, I’m glad it was them that answered the call because idk if my generation (millennials) or the younger ones could’ve handled what they went thru, especially in WW2, Korea, and Nam. I mean those guys were absolute professional fuckin gangsters. Handled Hitler and crushed communism without a second glance or thought.
Not only that, but it's "what now?" one thing people often forget is that when you've seen so much war, you really do not know how to get back into society.
When the war ended and they returned home, they never found that trust, that bond, again knowing that the man next to you would give his life for yours and yours for him. It was truly a band of brothers.
And as someone who has served I've found other things to help ease the transition in civilian life. I didn't have as such a hard time as others. I wish it was easier for military people to adapt outside of the military as well as they did in it.
@@s70driver2005I had multiple combat deployments and felt the same, but it’s important to keep in mind that taking occasional potshots from sand people for 12-15 months doesn’t really compare to spending years against an adversary whose force is roughly equal to your own. Not sure when you were in, but that’s my perspective as an OEF vet.
@@eastonseiler1774 I tried to watch it twice and couldn’t get into it for some reason. Having watched Masters of the Air, I told myself I’d give it another go, though.
Edward Shames was the last officer in Easy Company to die and Bradford Clark Freeman was the last person in general. Shames passed away on December 3, 2021 at the age of 99. According to Shames' obituary, the soldiers "made his first combat jump into Normandy on D-Day as part of Operation Overlord" (via CNN). Freeman, the last living member of Easy Company, did not have any speaking parts in the HBO series but was depicted by actor James Farmer. He was the last official member of the Army paratrooper squad to pass away on July 3, 2022 at the age of 97.
This was a really good miniseries on WWII. I felt they did a much better job of showing the European Theater of War than the Pacific Theater of War. My Dad fought in WWII Germany and while alive agreed that this was very realistic in what they ran across. RIP Dad...
In what way do you think The Pacific didnt show the war in the pacific well? Thought it portrayed the brutality of war very realistically. And unless you know someone who served in the pacific you have no frame of reference..
Was at the National War Museum last summer in Ottawa, and it had a really moving video playing about soldiers when they finally got home. The one that stuck with me was one veteran saying that the transport ship was bustling/noisy the entire trip. As they got closer to Canada, an announcement that land was ahead went out. As everyone rushed to see "home", the ship went dead quiet because so many assumed they would never see home ever again.
My husband and I are going to Normandy this summer to pay our respects to Easy Company and of course all those who fought valiantly and bravely in WW2, my Father included RIP
Bravest Generation and my Grandpa belongs to that Generation, he is a Combat Medic in Bataan, Philippines, and participated in the Liberation of Manila, he got his US Citizenship in the 1990s, he waved his American flag proudly, Boy, he LOVES America so much...
This is the place where you take off your hat and thank all those brave men for their service and sacrifice, which is the foundation for the peace and prosperity we enjoy today.
I was born in 1954, a boomer as they say. If Dad talked about the war it was about how he hid a motorcycle in a haystack, just the light stuff. I can’t imagine what these men went through and what they saw.
My grandpa fought in the Pacific with the Marines. What makes me sad now is our Greatest Generation is almost gone. They didn’t just fight a war. They were some of the best people that ever lived.
Although you didn't come to Korea, I thank you Winters so much for fighting for peace and making me think of what the most important thing is. From South Korea.
This scene always gets me, the full scene is not shown here, but you can sense the emotion here, wars ended, now peace, all those who never got back, sad. Without doubt one of the best series ever.
Ive watched this series in addition to the Pacific every year for Remembrance Day. The story hits so hard. The men who played each soldier were so believable and held true to the likeness of their real life counterparts. This series never gets old each and every time I watch it.
Every member of this cast felt like an actual person who lived in that time. Does so well to show the degree of the more subtle effect the war had across people. Such a well made show.
Surrender of Japan meant not only a big relief for the men of US 82 n 101st Airborne troops men of Easy Company but all units regiments n troops globally who fought this global conflict including soldiers from my country India who fought valiantly against the Axis powers.
This truly was one of the greatest series ever made on the lives of these wonderful Heroic men and their Glorious Service of one of our Greatest generations ever!.
God bless Spiers, nixon, Winters and all of the enlisted and each and every soldier, sailor, airman, engineer, MP and everyone else i haven't got the time in this moment to mention. We owe you so much. I don't know how else to say it
Good morning my fellow Countrymen, And it is to these men that we owe our Freedom, our happiness our existence as Americans. In these troubled times we live in it is good to know that men like these exist amongst us, ready to stand on the wall of Freedom. I live my life like this, I awake every morning thinking of my everyday troubles as we all do. Then I realize that hundreds of thousands of men were never able to live out there lives have a family ,grow old with there spouses and enjoy life's moments. We all should take a moment and reflect on this. We should all no matter who we are and where we come from try to make our country a better place for ourselves and for our children and grandchildren. And do it in Honor to them. Thanks for reading this. J.mins
I served in the British parachute regiment and jumped into Normandy on the 60th anniversary with the 101st airborne . It was an amazing week there. Even met a German paratrooper from the war. I now work on a large estate where the Americans took over the house and practised the d -day landings in the uk and there’s a Sherman tank there as a memorial for the guys who died in the practise runs . Airborne 🤘
The cast did an amazing job showing how it must have been receiving that news that the war that has consumed your life ended the lives of your friends the war that had engulfed six years of the world was over only to feel "what now" almost like a loss of purpose but an wonderful start to a new journey a well deserved one at that this series is one that ill never forget.
Damn it was harder for them because no one back home knew how serious PTSD was so they dismissed the men coming home who had problems so a lot of them either drank or drugged themselfs to death
These scene is easily the most touching of the whole series. A great announcement of the end of hostilities, and final victory, but no cheering and hooting, just a sense of disbelief and relief. That they survived, and are going home.
Crazy to think about. Preparing yourself mentally to die; to live as if you know there won’t be tomorrow, only to find out tomorrow is here and you have no plan for it.
When my Helicopter company stood down in Viet Nam in 1972 it was a very happy & some what sad time. Sad knowing that we would never see the guys we spent unforgettable time with. I only had to serve 8 months in Nam. Sad part I was one of the last ten Americans in our base camps and nogoodnic ARVIN soldiers were stealing tin off hootch roofs & anything else of value.
You can come back and enjoy the world as much as you can, but it will never be the same. When you leave and come back, you leave a piece of yourself over there. Believe me I know! Iraq 04-05/06-08/09-10
Just remember we owe a tremendous debt to the men and probably to the boys who fought in the Revolutionary War or there would never be in America. Men both British and from the Continental Army standing 50 ft away from each other pointing their rifles at each other's face and firing volleys at each other. That must have taken some courage
I wonder if winning is what made so many more men from wars today have PTSD compared to WWII. I’ve spoken to probably 100 Vietnam vets and have 5 and became family with 5 of them, I’m in my early twenties and all the Vietnam vets said the same thing (especially the ones with PTSD) “Why tf did did (name) have to die here I still couldn’t give you a good reason to this day. My best friend died in a war that solved nothing.” They were all mostly enlisted since they had a bad lottery number and enlisted men got paid more anyways so joined and got to have a chance at picking their role. But maybe winning WWII is what made it all feel like it served a purpose.

Weird way to say you prefer BoB than the Pacific.
Rest in peace major Winters. And THANK YOU for your service
Rest easy Mr. Winters. You earned it
After all they had endured, I wonder how they actually processed those words. "The war is over." The greatest generation.

The greatest generation is the one that treated black people like shit?
Ur happy 😢 it's over but yet in ur heart u don't wanna go home Ik that feeling
"tHe gReAtEsT gEnErAtIoN" treated black people like second class citizens.

How many people have these same feelings these days?God bless the combat vets and those they remember.
May they rest in peace!
Thank you for your Service, God Bless
What I love the most about this episode was that the tint and feel of the sunlight and atmosphere is warm and fuzzy. The war is finally over
Thank You Easy Company
This was an awesome miniseries
These scene is easily the most touching of the whole series.
A great announcement of the end of hostilities, and final victory, but no cheering and hooting, just a sense of disbelief and relief.
That they survived, and are going home.
Amazing scene
I live near Hershey Pennsylvania. There's a memorial bridge named after Major Winters. I drive under it often. It's not quite in Hershey though.
Ive been through Hershey PA and it is beautiful
GREAT SCENE GREAT SERIES
this is slowly turning into a christmas classic
Crazy to think about. Preparing yourself mentally to die; to live as if you know there won’t be tomorrow, only to find out tomorrow is here and you have no plan for it.
That's a great way to put it - pretty poetic actually. 👍
Amazing war series.
The best war series ever.
One of the best quarter hours in television!
Great movie!!
And to think how screwed up it is what our government has become today

War, war never changes
It would have been awesome to have gone through Ranger School with Major Winters
Greatest show ever made.
Best war movies..
I must have watched this whole series like 7 or 8 times. No better War series than this in my opinion.
Just remember we owe a tremendous debt to the men and probably to the boys who fought in the Revolutionary War or there would never be in America. Men both British and from the Continental Army standing 50 ft away from each other pointing their rifles at each other's face and firing volleys at each other. That must have taken some courage
The best generation 😊
Thank you! ✝️🇺🇸
I’m so glad a bought this collection on DVD.
Best series ever
what a show ❤
The difference between this then the Pacific, made Europe look like a cake walk, and Europe was no cake walk,
This last scene is my favorite in Band of Brothers. Just hearing about how those that were in Easy lived their lives after the war.
Great series!
An awesome series. One of the best ever.
The Greatest Generation
23years pass by
What makes me sad is that a Mega farmer probably owns his farm by now 😢
And making a mockery of it also! Winters wouldn’t be happy with our government today 😢
Only the dead know the end of war...
They all had that look like. What now. This is all I know
All that hell and in the end we are destroyed by the likes of Obiden.
Indeed - an inside job no less - just disgusting, after what these men did for their Country.
GOD BLESS THE GREATEST GENERATION 🙏 🇺🇸
Lest We Forget
I wonder if winning is what made so many more men from wars today have PTSD compared to WWII. I’ve spoken to probably 100 Vietnam vets and have 5 and became family with 5 of them, I’m in my early twenties and all the Vietnam vets said the same thing (especially the ones with PTSD) “Why tf did did (name) have to die here I still couldn’t give you a good reason to this day. My best friend died in a war that solved nothing.” They were all mostly enlisted since they had a bad lottery number and enlisted men got paid more anyways so joined and got to have a chance at picking their role. But maybe winning WWII is what made it all feel like it served a purpose.
i keep wondering the feeling on those man when they heard that the war was over...
Winters would be a good leader in Korea.
