    it wasn't Hitler. Hitler had killed himself in Berlin about a week before the war in Europe ended but a lot of German officers killed themselves at the end rather than have to face trial for what they did.

    No, Hitler shot himself in Berlin. The Adolf Hitler on the sleeve was known as a cuff title and it was worn by elite units. In this case SS Liebstandarte Adolf Hitler. That was his initially his personal bodyguard , but they fought all over the place, including Russia. Their commander was Sepp Dietrich.

    4:40 That was not Hitler, he died several days prior in Berlin. The cuffband was a part of the SS uniform denoting which unit they were assigned to. The Adolf Hitler cuffband was the most coveted among SS soldiers as it denoted them as members of the "Leibstandarte" or the 1st SS Panzer Division, Hitler's personal guard. Based on his uniform I think he would be a Gruppenführer or group leader, which is the equivalent of a Major General in the US military.

He would have stayed with the company even though he believed that they would be sent to fight in the Pacific if Winters didn't give him that story about needing him to be a technical advisor. That man was so loyal.

      @@TheSocratesian Not entirely. Sorry if it's long (but I hope you'll find it useful. If you want to read it, would be great, if not, then whatever).
      After the First World War, mainstream American politics pursued an isolationist line until the 1930s - they were quite isolated from European countries, especially during the post-war economic crisis. Japan, on the other hand, annexed Germany's colonies that had been tied up in the European war, and thus came to rule the Santung Peninsula in mainland Asia and the Caroline, Marianas and Marshall Islands in the Pacific, virtually all the former German colonies north of the equator. The former German possessions south of the equator, from New Guinea to Samoa, were placed under the jurisdiction of Australia and New Zealand, a division sanctioned by a secret British-Japanese treaty of 1915. The United States was concerned about Japanese expansion, but at the Paris Peace Conference, President Wilson finally agreed to recognise the Japanese conquests in the interests of the League of Nations. In this situation, it was inevitable that the differences between the two Pacific powers, the United States and Japan, which had already existed, but only latently, between the two powers, the United States and Japan, both of which were growing stronger and had emerged from the world war intact, would become more pronounced and increasingly difficult to manage.
      U.S.-Japanese economic relations were quite intense: about forty percent of foreign investment in Japan was in American hands, while roughly the same proportion of Japan's exports went to the United States in the 1920s.
      In the early 1930s, the Manchurian crisis marked the beginning of Japan's desire to change the balance of power in the region. Japan had special rights in this strategically important area under international treaties concluded earlier, but the Chinese did not consider themselves bound by the agreements that foreign powers had made with each other. Following an incident on the night of 18-19 September 1931 (an explosion along the South Manchurian Railway, most probably provoked by the Japanese Kwantung Army), Japan occupied the province and created a puppet state called Manchukuo. The Japanese action in Manchuria violated a series of international conventions, including the Covenant of the League of Nations, the Nine-Chapter Treaty and the 1928 Paris Pact.
      On April 17, 1934, a spokesman for the Japanese Foreign Ministry, Eiji Amau, declared in Tokyo that Japan had the sole right to maintain "peace and order" in East Asia, based on its geographical position and its role in the world. The US Secretary of State, Cordell Hull, protested the statement at the Japanese embassy in Washington on 28 April (the British did likewise). The Japanese then offered the Americans a classic balance of power deal: mutual recognition of the two countries' spheres of interest, i.e. recognition of Japan's 'special' interests in the Western Pacific and those of the United States in the Eastern Pacific. Secretary of State Hull rejected this solution, and the Roosevelt administration spent the next three years trying to trivialize the conflicts of interest between the two countries. In December 1936, however, a dramatic change occurred in China. Japanese expansion had previously been facilitated by the civil war between Chinese Nationalists and Communists. But Chiang Kai-shek and Mao Zedong then put aside their feuding and formed an alliance for a joint war against the Japanese. Tokyo did not wait for the Chinese side to go on the offensive. Taking advantage of an incident in Beijing on 7 July 1937 (Chinese and Japanese soldiers clashed at the Marco Polo Bridge section of the Beijing-Tianjin railway), the Japanese army seized the initiative.
      In July 1939, Washington notified Tokyo that it was terminating the 1911 trade treaty between the two countries, effective 26 January 1940. The decision was significant, and was greeted with hostility in the Japanese capital, because the treaty effectively granted the 'most-favoured-nation' principle to Japan, which had vital interests in the smooth importation of commodities such as oil and pig iron from the U.S. (In the 1930s, 80 percent of Japan's oil imports came from the United States; Japan was able to produce only seven percent of the oil it used. ) Japanese propaganda then made it even more plausible to the public that Japan's expansion into the Pacific and the Far East (its aspiration to create a Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere) was in effect self-defensive, since without the raw material and energy resources in those regions, the country's sovereignty and integrity would be at stake.
      After the US oil embargo of August 1941, the Hideki Togo government was mandated to attack US military bases in the Pacific. The rest is largely known. According to the Defense Casualty Analysis System, nearly 67% of the nearly 400,000 US military casualties were in battles fought in the Pacific - the worst of which was Okinawa in April-June, with nearly 49,000 bloody casualties. (The landing in Europe was specifically a request from Soviet diplomacy to the Western Allies, because they had suffered most of the fighting against the Germans in Europe.)

    17:29 this is lowkey one of my favorite moments in the series. Not only is it a great conclusion for Speirs' character arc, but it's also very good thematically. You may recall that Speirs was the character who shot all those prisoners, and in episode 3 he told Blythe, "The only hope you have is to accept the fact you're already dead." He basically gave up his humanity to get himself through the war and function as a good officer. But in this moment, he sees the blood on his hand, and realizes that there's been enough bloodshed. He says "Have the MP's take care of this piece of shit." The MP's are the military police. Speirs is saying, we are no longer just wantonly slaughtering people. It's time to go back to the rule of law; to civilization. He's regaining his humanity and proving to everyone that it is possible to come back from the edge, even after you've been through the hell of war. It's really amazing stuff.

SS divisions were named; that was the name of the 1st SS division. In German, "Liebstandarte" literally means "Love" or "Affection" Standard (like flag). It's an expression of devotion to duty.

    Both are follow-up series similar to Band of Brothers!!
    Different feelings from different critics about the comparison of the shows but they each tell a different story of World War II.
    The Pacific focuses on, just as the title suggests, the American war in the Pacific Islands against Japan!!!
    Masters focuses on the Army 8th Air Force that was stationed in England in 1942 until the end of the war and conducted bombing raids over occupied Europe and Germany!! Both of these were also done by Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg so I don't think you'll be disappointed!!!

    You seem like really nice people. Fun to follow. As for the mean comments you get, maybe it's coming from people who were taught more in school about WWII. The generation before you heard a lot about it because it was our parents who fought in WWII. I think you're hearing a little frustration- not with you per se, but for what appears to be a fading knowledge of the biggest war in history. I blame the schools, because the current political environment isn't too far off of a lot of the same playbook that brought Hitler to power. So as Britain's WWII Prime Minister Winston Churchill said, "Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it." Are we failing? Are we repeating pre-WWII history?

    Great review, you two. You both should be very proud as you both learned a great deal from the series, and that is really what it is all about- learning more about the real people that made history. You will find that you have more to learn, but that is part of the point. As a historian, I still find I learn more every time I watch shows like this series. Even rewatching Band of Brothers I still find things I missed even after watching multiple times. So keep it up, as there are tons of great history shows out there. The next one would be The Pacific, but that one is much harder as that theater was more brutal in many ways. Regardless I hope you both consider looking at more history shows and movies you will find that all of the dates and places your read about in history class had real people behind them, who are just like all of us full of passion hopes dreams and even demons. Looking forward to more.

    Not sure if someone mentioned it, but the Points system was actually something suggested by WWI veterans, because after The Great War, most of the guys who ended up doing the longest occupation duty (even up until 1920) were the ones who'd been there since we first started sending guys to France in 1917/early 1918, and the ones who arrived in the summer and fall of 1918 largely were sent home in early 1919. The idea was that for THIS go round, priority should be to ship home the guys who'd been there the longest.

    I think if people made comments that were rough, I think it had to do with that so many people a very defensive of this greatest generation that did so much and suffered. Especially after how so many Vietnam veterans which trashed or even in a iraq where soldiers would judged by the actions they took because they were filmed on CNN. We try to look at their actions through a lens that only very few of us can understand or even contemplate. Agreed, they should not have shot that former prison guard but that was happening throughout the theater as so many Americans were traumatized by what they found in the concentration camps.. The soldier that shot Sergeant Grant, was an aberration, he was court-martial dishonorably discharged and, not surprisingly was a career criminal who ended up in prison when he left active duty. One of the things I found most interesting regarding the series is researching each character and seeing what happened to them in the time after the war. You guys did a great job, thank you for watching this important program. I highly suggest you watch Black hawk down, a breathtaking factual account of our actions and Somalia.

    Easy Company, the most ironic name in military history. From D-DAY all the way to Hitler's Eagle's Nest, there was nothing Easy about it. I never want things I love to end, but you want the pain to end for these Men, and the peace to begin. The German Field Marshall's speech is actually what ties the entire concept of of the series together unexpectedly. I implore you to see "We Stand Alone Together" and Ron Livingston's (Nixon) Bootcamp Diary before filming. It makes you appreciate the series even more unbelievably. You also need to watch "The Fallen of WW2" for perspective on the scale of this tragedy. "Were you a hero in the War Grandpa? Grandpa says no, but I served in a company of heroes" Near tears every time. Currahee!♠

      The 442nd regiment was the most awarded regiment for the whole war. We haven’t gotten a mini series about them yet though.

    Well, I do not know if you have watched the movie called "the Monuments Men" It ties into this sort of indirectly, The eagles nest was assumed to contain records that WERE NOT available in Berlin, and the British and the U.S. BOTH knew that Adolph Hitler and the SS stole tens of millions of dollars worth of artworks, treasures ect, and the French knew it too, as some of it had been stolen from them, it was feared that General Charles DE Gaulle, would attempt to claim ALL OF IT and not allow any of it to be returned to their rightful owners, since neither the U.S. nor Great Britain had a dog in that particular fight, General Eisenhower felt it was best if the U.S. or the U.K. got those records and ensuring that what was stolen, was returned to the rightful owners, and they DID NOT trust either Joseph Stalin or Charles De Gaulle. now the movie that I mentioned, "The Monuments Men" really had not very much to do with the eagles nest, BUT it did in fact contain a few of the stolen paintings so it is sort of related. anyway The Monuments Men is a true story about a very specialized unit in the U.S. Army, filled with artists authenticators, and investigators, (NOT YOUR TYPICAL MILITARY TYPE) and they were put in charge of tracking down these precious pieces of treasure and arts, they trudged through deep underground salt mines, caves, bunkers, all over Germany, Belgium, Holland, France, and other countries, to track down everywhere the Nazi's had hidden these things away. but that is ultimately WHY there was a rush to be the first to the Eagles Nest, By the way, the Eagles Nest is still there, and TODAY is a museum, it has a nice restaurant, and lots of artifacts and pictures of the Nazi's and the atrocities that they unleashed on this world.

      No, it was definitely not Hitler, because it was stated in a previous episode that Hitler had killed himself several weeks earlier, plus it was said he killed himself in Berlin, a city, and this was in an entirely different place in the rural mountainous area.

    The war wasn't over after Hitler took his life in Berlin. It lasted a few more weeks in Europe. The Nazis were going to try a guerilla war but they either fled or took their lives.
    European resources were going to moved to Japan. The bomb didn't end the war with Japan. The Soviets broke their armistice with the Japanese and invaded Japanese controlled Mongolia, China and Korea. The Japanese surrendered figuring they would get a better deal from the Allies than the Soviets because of their history with the Russians. The Japanese were worried what eventually happened to Korea and Vietnam, being split into two countries, would happen to Japan.

    "Midway" is a good war movie. The one from the '70s is good, but the one from like 2019 is great. Older movie from a different perspective, Patton. Want a chick-flick that becomes a war movie? "Braveheart" (Different war, but she may want a love story war movie.). WW1 "1917." You want more WW2 "Saving Private Ryan" Want American Revolution fun history lesson? "The Crossing"

    In the movies, you win the war and everybody lives happily ever after. In reality the Occupying forces had to restore order to Germany, which was basically a giant pile of rubble, no food, no electricity, no water, no hospitals, no police, nothing resembling civilization. Oh, and hundreds of thousands of surrendered German soldiers, who could be suspected of starting underground resistance movements. What are you supposed to do with all that? Just walk away and hope it fixes itself?

    I enjoy your reacting style compared to people your age who only use the same three words to describe everything. But please, do yourselves a favor and sue your HS History teachers! Every textbook for 75 years has said, "As Allied forces raced to Berlin from all sides, Adolph Hitler shot himself in his underground bunker." Multiple movies refer to the event, and Nixon stated is as a fact in Episode 9. Not a put-down, just urging you to prep for historical references a bit more.

    Heh heh heh. That sleeve gets SO many people, don't feel too bad about it. All that means is that the dead body it's attached to used to be a soldier in the 1st SS, the Adolf Hitler unit. If you want to know what happened to Hitler himself, there's a movie called Downfall starring the late, great Bruno Ganz as Adolf Hitler, which you may very likely have seen before in the form of the angry screaming Hitler meme. There's also a historian, Mark Felton, who made a career on youtube history videos, mostly focusing on WW2, that stemmed from the work he did studying Hitler's final days. He's on the of best, you can learn more from one of his five minute videos than you could watching a whole History Channel special.
    Speirs was easily my favorite. I like to think that because of how few inmates there really were at Spandau, a big part of the reason he became governor there was just to stand outside of Rudolf Hess's cell and poke him with a stick every once in a while to keep him from getting lonely and bored.
    Anyway, I had a blast watching y'all watch this. I figure you'll be on to The Pacific next. But I hope at some point y'all watch Generation Kill. It's a great show AND it's hilarious.
