Guys no one is missing using drugs on this show. Buck was spaced out watching the film in the last episode because he has PTSD.
Compton was shell shocked (PTSD) the last episode. No drugs FRR fam.
Love that Eugene used the nurse’s scarf to bandage Babe’s hand. Even in death she was still helping wounded soldiers. Civilian heroes.
Both nurses were from Bastone and had come home for Christmas. When Renee was killed, the soldiers returned her to her parents wrapped in a parachute as a sign of respect. Augusta, the black nurse, passed in 2015, and there's a monument dedicated to these women in Bastone.
Smokey, the guy manning the machine gun that got shot while getting his coffee. He was only temporarily paralyzed when the bullet grazed his spine. He later returned to Bastone after the series had been released. Found his foxhole, dug around a bit, and found his coffee cup/canteen.
No drugs guys, drop this line of thinking
According to History Professor Jared Frederick, the character of the nurse, Renée, may have been inspired by the real life character Renée Lemaire, Lemaire was from the Bastogne area, her parents owned a hardware store there, throughout much of the war, prior to this moment, she had been a nurse in Brussels, where she helped take care of the wounded. She just happened to be going home to see her parents in Bastogne for Christmas 1944, and little could she have realized that this battle would erupt in her front yard.
He further states there's no evidence to suggest that she interacted with Doc Roe. Renée did lose her life during German bombing of Bastogne, but she was not in the Church basement, she was actually in a store basement that wasn't too far away. A building had caught fire, and she was taking part in an effort to evacuate men who had taken refuge in that building, an aid station in the basement of the Sarma Store. She was able to pull six men out of the fire and when she went back in to get a seventh, she lost her life. She was 30 years old. Her body was later delivered to her parents wrapped in a white parachute.
Auguste Chiwy, the Congolese nurse, survived and died in 2015. Renee and Auguste were the “Angels of Bastogne”
The Germans were big on Christmas traditions, so they often sang Christmas carols out on the front. It wasn't psychological warfare... it was for their own spirits & enjoyment.
Concerning the timeline, the Germans began their offensive (that we would later call The Battle of the Bulge) on December 16th. Easy company got to their position depicted in this episode on the morning of December 19th. Patton's push into Bastogne finally reached the city about 5:00 PM the day after Christmas. So, there was a good week stretch where Easy company was dealing with holding that line against various German attacks. You could realistically argue that all the US forces were battling the cold as well as the Germans.
As far as the nurses go, they were real people. Although there's no evidence of them meeting Doc Roe (or anyone else from Easy), the show chose to honor them by incorporating them into this storyline.
Renée Lemaire had returned to Bastogne to visit her parents when the Germans launched their offensive, trapping her in the town. As a nurse, she volunteered herself to help out at an aid station that saw it's fair share of wounded Americans. On the night of Christmas Eve 1944, a German shell hit the aid station she was in, collapsing the building around her. She helped six wounded soldiers escape, but died while trying to help a seventh soldier. Her remains were recovered by the battalion later on, wrapped in a white parachute, and delivered to her family.
Augusta Chiwy (depicted by the character "Anna") had returned to Bastogne on Dec. 16th to visit her family. A few days later when Germany launched their offensive, she found herself trapped in the town, just like Renée Lemaire. Since Augusta was also a nurse, she volunteered to help out as well (which is where she first crossed paths with Renée). She was incredibly brave! On at least one occasion, she put on an army uniform so she could go out to the front lines and collect wounded men, while the units were still under fire! When the shell that hit the aid station on Christmas Eve struck, Augusta was in an adjacent building and was blown through a wall! She survived, largely unhurt and continued to treat wounded troops. After the siege, she didn't speak much of her experiences, and many thought she had died there in Bastogne. A British historian eventually succeeded in tracking her down. She ended up living until 2015 and was buried in the cemetery at Bastogne.
The only substance abuse is alcohol and nicotine..
The Germans singing? It was Christmas, and they didn't want to be there any more than our guys did.
There is a story about a Christmas Eve in WW1 when the Germans made a truce for several hours and both sides sang Christmas carols together.
When Gonorrhea was talking about "pissing needles", alot of people don't remember that in the previous episode he asked Winters, Nix, and Welsh where a joint called "LuLu's" was. Bro got the clap at a whorehouse 😂
I never put two and two together. I may have read that years ago in the book. But that’s hilarious!! 😂
Nope that’s not what pissing needles means. He has a urinary track infection or a kidney infection. Nothing to do with an STD.
@@BSUSwim4Gold trust me, firsthand knowledge here, having an STD can feel like pissing needles.
Pissing needles usually describes a kidney infection...see the Apollo 13 movie when Fred Haise has the same maledy. However, the Lulu's theory ain't a bad one but that's not what happened.
Aren't there multiple possible explanations for the pissing needles sensation? I had a blood test that indicated a possible UTI and definitely felt it.
Is this déjà vu all over again🤔😎
Took me til the end talk to figure that out.
Medics have an incredibly tough job! Saved my ass several times! They don’t buy around me.
Lol one of these days im gonna see episode 7.
Agree. 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, and 10 are most rewatchable, imo.
7 is by far my favorite
The wire, Sopranos, and this intro i NEVER skip...
Other two shows is great in a different way. But i never skip this intro and the Pacific's out of pure respect and red blooded patriotism ✊🏻✊🏻😤💀
My dad was a WW2 vet (USN). He had an old box of service medals and other assorted stuff from the war which I was pawing through as a young kid (8 years old, or thereabouts), that included his morphine syrette. I asked him what that was. After he explained it, he 86ed and FAST. As for this show - lack of morale? yeah, that, and utterly and completely burned out - used to call it combat fatigue, back in the day. By the way, love your reactions to this show - you bring in your own personal Mil service experience and compare it to what is portrayed in the show. Bastogne was cut off on the 20th of December and relieved on the 26th. This was one part of the Battle of the Bulge - about 10 German Corps hit about 3 American Corps with pretty much complete surprise. (The retreating units the soldiers from Easy Company scrounged supplies from were part of the initial defenders hit by the Germans. Some were overrun (including one of the largest mass surrenders of US troops), some held fast despite overwhelming odds and complete confusion at higher level HQ.
it was 6 days from the arrival of the 101st in Bastogne to the breakthrough by Patton's 3rd Army forces. The 101st was sent in to hold the crossroads town until relieved, which is exactly what they did. BTW, the winter of 1944 was the coldest the area had experienced for decades.
Coldest winter: I looked it up, and yes it was a bitter deepfreeze with (recorded) -10C. for days on end.
Yea Doc Roe purposely chose not to call the others by their nicknames or first names. It was to keep an emotional barrier beyween them when he would have to see his friends torn up and bleeding while he helped them. It was to keep him from breaking down. It shows the depths Doc Roe cared for his friends.
Man when I saw you were reacting to Bastogne, I had to jump over here quick. You guys will definitely be shocked after this one!
Please label reuploads.
Addiction issues usually resulted from treatment following hospitalization or surgeries for wounds and the resulting treatment, not because anyone had the time, opportunity or luxury to indulge in drug use during battles.
Joe Toye was a coal miner and steel factory worker in Pennsylvania B4 the war. Don't come much tougher.
Was waiting for ep 6 to drop. This one is crazy
Great FRR "Band Of Brothers" reaction and after talk. i hope one day you guys do "Fury" 2014, another great WWII film about a tank crew.
God Bless FRR👍
UA-cam in Canada didn't block this episode at all, since this is the 3rd time it's been posted in full...😊
hmm, that's interesting
It just came to me was the dude that got shot in the lower half the guy talking in the video, I seem to remember he said that Doc gave him some morphine in a key spot which saved his life, never occurred to me that was him or might be him.
Silent Night is. German song, originally written in German. "Stille Nacht"
Is this a re-upload?
Yes.
Gonorrhea out here with ACTUAL gonorrhea💀
Lol a Leeeeerooooy Jeeeeeenkins! reference.. The greatest generation doesn't run, ever..
You guys should watch the Fat Electrian's video about Aimo Koivunen. He was a Finnish solider during WW 2 who accidentally ODed on meth. The Fat Electrician does quite a few cool WW2 videos that I bet you guys would like.
Glad you guys got it sorted out and able to get it uploaded
@4:21
Great reference by Formal with Restrepo. One of my favorite documentaries of all time.
That's one I'd love to see UA-cam channels react to. You guys can handle it and parse the information out but I can't imagine much of the UA-cam "reactors" fairing to the actual firefights and shit. Gets stressful for me each rewatch and I've easily seen it 5 times
If you want to know why the 101st said they didn't need rescued, you can watch a video from The Fat Electrician about Jake "McNasty" McNiece. Highly entertaining and informative. Ties in with Bastogne and the Battle of the Bulge. The next episode is my favorite POV and also the one that broke me.
You guys went on and on, accusing them of recreational morphine use---not Buck Compton or anyone else, certainly not Doc Roe. In reality they were in an imposible situation, deadly dangerous, and were short of everything including precious morphine. They knew that everything would be needed for serious injuries. Different people, different times.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 ‘cos it only lets me ‘thumbs up’ once😊
Episode 9 is crazy asf , hope y'all get there on this channel!!!! Episode 10 is also good but the complete opposite as far as the direction
Glad I finally saw the reaction of ''Bastogne'', probably UA-cam deleted the video (twice!), ridiculous! P.E.ace from overseas, The Netherlands.
Hell ya boys!
Restrepo was wild, you know the guy who filmed that died in libya trying to do the same thing.
Yea nah man, its like when Winters was on the train, just completely checked out. Buck was in the same state
Also Formal's mention of Vietnam tunnels got me hoping Spielberg and Hanks do a Vietnam series down the line.
They did this front, the Pacific threater... If they're only focusing on Americans then Korea or Vietnam would be next and i could see Vietnam being ripe for a TV show (think of all the classic Nam films but more fleshed out for a full miniseries).
There's a lot more "social" issues the creators would have to navigate in this new PC world, but man if they stick to their guns and portray some events from a few respected accounts' of soldiers in Vietnam? They could do a kick ass one as long as they adhere to the truthfulness of the war (on all sides). I'm sure the recorded US atrocities and the aforementioned social issues surrounding the war have them cautious to tackle it but I'm sure they can find a way to portray it without it being outright US propaganda.
We already know the soundtrack would be kick ass
Am I having deja vu? Is this a reupload?
It is.
BaSTONE
Please don’t disrespect these guys. Especially doc Ro
What’s going on with this episode? Isn’t this the 3rd time it’s been posted?
The others where blocked 🚫
Is this the 3rd time? Am i trippin?
Nope HBO blocked it twice hopefully the third time is the charm 🤞🏽
@@FriendRequestReviews thank you
@@FriendRequestReviews Please label them accordingly. Thx!!
@@Zseventyone they did
@@traho811 where? Not seeing in title or description.
I don't understand why people get all surprised when they recognize an actor in the show. They are actors, it is their job FFS!
