The officer was a major in real life, not a colonel.
Yes, and was two separate events. Winters was part of several German surrenders in the final days of the war.
🤓🤓🤓
Learned that from history buffs aswell I see???
@@callofdutyfreak10123 except history buffs just regurgitated what someone else said. He isn’t Wong but isn’t right either. Winters had several German officers surrender to him during the final weeks of the war. The show showed one time. There were more than one…
@Danny Deleto you because they were such a "elite" force? They would have suffered like every other unit with a little bit of combat experience
Meanwhile at Pawnstars:
Best I can do is $100
😳🤔
How about $500
@@YasinVanDoorsen Ok, let's do the paperwork
@@milosvukosavljevic3307 you forgot the expert friend that comes in to look at it first
And we have to shoot it
Historically, the defeated German commander, upon surrender, would offer his sword to the victor. And out of mutual interest in peace, the victor would allow the defeated commander to keep his sword. That is why he let him keep it in the movie.
No, it was because it made the US guy look better than taking a trophy did
@@dzonbrodi514 , yea, because some nameless faceless entity is more reliable than personal research
@@bhight100 what are you talking about, they literally changed history to make Winters look more generous and gracious
@@dzonbrodi514, I know that Wnters kept the pistol. I was talking about the movie
I think there was some sort of executive order that officers or whatever we’re not to be disarmed. Not 100% sure tho
Plot twist, the German just bought the gun from a thrift shop an hour ago
dang that's so funny.
Shit if I survived a war with all my shit. I’m most definitely giving him someone else’s pistol
All of the sudden it sounds like a sitcom.
The German officer: Hey guys, if I bring him a brand new gun, will that be very friendly and poetic?
Other German: Yoooo! That’ll be a perfect PR move🤩
or cleaned it
Oh we are going to a meeting. Give me a new gun so it looks nice for the surrender. We are going to give them a gun. Make sure it's clean and nice for them
That’s awesome, I would love to see more of this
You can find the video of Winters himself telling this story right here on UA-cam. It's amazing!
If you hunt around there’s countless videos of interviews with the band of brothers from HBO it’s very inspiring and gut wrenching to watch
It’s in the behind the scenes interviews for BOB.
Thanks for sharing this information…! Somehow, this wasn’t taught in school…. (Que Lastima..!). 🤭‼️
I learned this watching the "Reel History" channel.. A History Professor breaks down each episode of "Band of Brothers" and tells what is true and what isn't. I highly recommend you check it out if you like this short video!
There was another incident Winters had with another German officer. Winter had ordered that all German military firearms be brought to his headquarters. What happened was the German officer mistook that to confiscate ALL weapons, military and civilians. Surprised and impressed with the Germans military efficiency and professionalism Winters didn’t have the heart to tell they misunderstood his orders. So he applauded their work and then ordered that civilians may keep their weapons.
I remember this, when he arrived at wherever they were storing the firearms, there were massive piles of random guns, like hunting rifles etc from the civilians. 😁 Those germans, efficient and literal.
Also, the real gun was a Walther PP, not a Luger.
In matter of fact, Luger's weren't all that common in WW2. They were an WW1 era gun and were already outdated. They were mostly replaced by Walther PP and P38 pistols in the 30s. Officers that still used the guns were WW1 veterans.
PP.. Hehe
@@ritikshaw5868 PP=Polizei Pistole/police pistol.
You also had a shorter version called the PPK. Famously used by James Bond.
@@Jack-Hands shorter PP..
XDDDDD
*thanks for the info.
@@ritikshaw5868 now you no that at one point in history there were a lot of Germans running around with their short PPs out.
@@Jack-Hands I knew it.. Those sleek and dark Hugo Boss clad bastards were compensating for something.
Damian Lewis was so amazing playing Winters. Really top notch.
Colonel Winters had such a huge impact on how we fight as Paratroopers. The phenomenon of the LGOP’s )little groups of paratroopers) started on D-Day when he started “collecting” the paratroopers who had missed their Drop Zone and we’re scattered everywhere. Knowing what the mission was and what the commander’s intent was, these LGOP’s would move towards the sound of gunfire and complete their missions. Dissemination of information down to the lowest ranking PVT is something unique to America’s military. Most other countries don’t do this.
Winters was a Major.
The paras had extra training to do just that, as did the Marines and Pathfinders. Ordinary grunts did not have such skills
One of my favorite parts of the show is the officers getting briefed on the whole battle plan and then briefing their own men the whole plan. It really shows that good communication up and down the ranks makes for effective troops
Wish I could watch this series for the first time again. Quality.
It’s on Netflix right now
The gun not being fired shows the innocence of the officer too, he does it to show “I’m not on the right side, but I’ve done my part to hold up justice, so give me mine.” At least that’s what I think was also meant.
most Germans didn’t know what was going on back home, he more then likely was new as well to his position.
@@matthewstephan4468 bullshit. I'm German and both my parents grandparents knew.
My grandpa on the fathers side was even taking part in it (transfered to the SS in 42) while the one on was actually low key active against the Nazis via the local church
Not on the “right side” ?
you mean the “winning side”.
He’s a high ranking officer what would he be doing firing his pistol
@@matthewstephan4468 They knew the rhetoric of the government they fought for, and what their publicly stated goals were. The "innocent, unknowing wehrmacht" idea is mostly a myth.
I also watched band of brothers and didn’t skip the vets intro….
It was actually in the DVD documentary
@@pevlez yaknow what…. I watched that box set so many times with that extra stuff it’s all just one big ep to me 🤣
I know I’ve seen him sitting there with the pistol but I can’t remember if it was the actual episode of the DVD extra so I’ll take your word for it untill I dig out the dvd player 😅
I don’t need the lore, I just want to watch the show
@@Khan-1738 makes no sense….
@@Khan-1738 the whole show is lore
I can't process the fact that young men were dying far far away from their homes, imagine their mothers who won't sleep whole night if son had fever cause of weather, here they were in muddy trenches, cold weather, no sleep, wounded, exhausted, continuosly being bombarded or shot at, with so many casualties how many families lost only sons, those families have ceased to exist completely, for them whole world had ceased and still someday world will forget about them.
I deployed 4 times and still have to remind myself that there are people deployed right now, doing the job that I did.
I don't remember the American captain that ,with his Jeep driver,ran right into a German armor division. The Capt,thinking fast told the German Colonel he was here to accept your surrender! The German officer,says surrender to two men in a jeep?The American captain said , Colonel you have 20 million Russians coming up behind you! Who would you rather surrender to? Americans or the Russians? To which the German officer pulled his pistol,turned it 180 and handed it to the American captain. Best decision German officer could have made!
Near the end of the war, my dad, with another soldier ran into a large detachment of Germans (he SAID there were 5,000, but you had to know my father). I believe this was near Magdeburg, which was very close to the Russian lines. The Germans tried to surrender to them, but they simply kept driving.
@@rleroygordon the Germans knew the jig was up. And they also knew going to gulag was a death sentence
Did you know the german who gives his pistol as a sighn of surrender was the same actor that played the cannibal and played the cello in the IT crowd.
Now we can’t even bring home a rock from a place we fought a war in.
Good
cry about it yank
Just for the record, traditionally surrendering armies, officers are allowed to keep their pistols, (as a sign of authority and to control their soldiers), so no big deal.
This.
Officers are nothing without their subordinates, so they are not likely to attempt to shoot their way out alone.
Nothing that special about it except to the people involved.
I saw that interview and he had the pistol. It would have been really great to serve under an officer like Dick Winters. During my basic training in the RAMC, our platoon officer had transferred into the corp when he was commissioned from the ranks in the Royal Corp of Signals, he was a complete and total dickhead and I am being very polite. Medics are non combatants, I gained Marksman but was allowed to wear the badge. Our Lt was complaining that we were not aggressive enough, he wanted to see the platoon being more violent. The biggest shock was when he said that we had to be more aggressive and if one or two of the platoon died on training it was acceptable, he could justify 4 (10%) deaths per cohort. Fortunately the CO put a stop to his madness. He was a great officer and he became the most successful Chief Ambulance Officer in England before the Labour government wrecked the service by merging 34 into 11. That's why the NHS ambulance service is in such a mess now.
And i thought it was just the Conservatives that target the NHS? But is this post Blair Labour? Then they are just "left wing" Conservatives, Labour died with Blair
My dad was drafted during the UN police action on the Korean peninsula, and spent his time in Germany -1952-1954. My Dad told me another GI offered to trade a Luger to my dad for 2 cartons of cigarettes. My dad didn't take the offer because the army had told everyone that they couldn't bring anything home, and that they'd be inspecting their "luggage" duffle bags. My dad told me the army never checked a thing when he arrived back in the states. 🤣 I think about that Luger of mine all the time - that one that got away. Geez dad! I almost wish you'd never told me that story. 😥 Love you dad! 🙂
Was better to put the real fact in the show....but ah Hollywood.They "know" best.
HBO but ok
The family member that had that gun passed down to them must have thst gun stored somewhere safe so it never is fired.
I think it is at the Gettysburg Museumi of History and it will not be fired.
You do know about proof shooting at factory?
@@alexanderkolodziej4808 not the point.
@@alexanderkolodziej4808 Proof testing doesn't really count, it is part of the manufacturing process, it is after that.
It was given to me and I indeed did shoot it
It definitely had been fired. in order to get it's Waffenamt stamp it had to pass proofing, meaning it was fired.
I think he meant by the officer, as the person first issued the gun, not as testing at the fatory.
It was a pretty common thing for a german general to give the enemy their gun when surrender it was always a pistol because generals only kept pistols
Winters kids actually lost the gun before he died. And it was never recovered
"We fought the wrong enemy" -Patton, commander of the European theater during WW2
He was always a bit of a crackpot
Based, fuck Juice.
Dear god, if i understand correctly meaning of his words, he is Horrifyingly politicly biased. To say that the Nazis are "the wrong enemy" its just... Well, i cant describe my thoughts in English without slurs
Because The Commies Soviet Union is the Real Enemy
@@dengawr6000the only word that comes to mind is disgusting.
There is a part where the American offers some SS members a smoke before shooting them all dead ....This "unreportedly" happen a few times with a Canadian Regiment officer ...It ties in with SS members killing 15 or 20 Surendered Canadians Blindfolded and tied hands.....shot behind a church 1 by 1 ..And noted "not even a smoke or last words" Thus the Smoke to the SS and a spray of bullets right after....." we were better than them But they weren't going have the time to enjoy it"
The Nazi’s definitely won the fashion war. I mean those officer tunics are so bad ass. Only the Corps dress blues look better.
My grandad confiscated the Italian police officers pistol in Sicily apparently he was most upset!
He says that in the Band of Brothers documentary. It’s a beautiful scene in the doc and he brings out the very pistol and stated it had never been fired since.
name of the song,?
I thought it was customary to leave the weapon of the highest offices to prisoners as a sign of respect ?
The German general surrendered to like 4 countries when he did this but only the American kept the gun
The Thing which I have seen is that real life or drama
Two soldiers of two great nations just speaking the truth
No politics, no money changing hands just two soldiers speaking the truth.
Also, it was a walther ppk, not a luger
And then like the scene in Inglorious Bastards he shot the other German
It was proof fired at the factory to test it prior to stamping the werhmacht proof mark .
i’ve watched all the band brothers shorts. in fact, i watched all the shorts on your channel. guess what?! WE NEED MORE! Great job! keep them coming!
O sea que en materia de cumplimiento de tradiciones históricas y de honor, el americano debería haber aceptado la espada (pistola) de que se rinde.
¿Puede considerarse una ofensa de honor no haber aceptado su arma 🔫?
Such an absolutely amazing show
Brilliant
Band of Brothers is not a documentary.
There’s no way that you can definitively tell that a handgun has never been fired. The original owner may never have fired it during the war but never fired ever? That I don’t believe. Not even a test fire out of the factory…? The German who owned it never target practiced with it?
I think they meant that it was never fired during combat, but true, if you are not working in a police department you can't tell just from looking that when was it fired last time
I think it's cool how he let's the kraut keep his weapon- a sign that they're trusting each other to stop the killing.
Historically, that is a German tradition, to let the defeated commander keep their sidearm. In the interest that you said yourself.
A German SS officer gave my farther a Mauser pistol at a concentration camp. It had paper in the barrel.
Making the US character look better. Like an American would turn down a free gun
I believe he said he wanted to give it to a museum or would never be fired, my father and his cousins were in the hundred and first his cousin's during World war II father was supposed to go to open all Japan but the war ended, it was stationed in the Philippines and occupied Japan p Korea so nov
53, I'm not mr. Wonders a couple times excellent gentleman
I'm pretty sure Japanese did a similar fashion giving up other sword and a bow or a solute
Pretty common for commanding officers to offer up their weapon on surrendering. More symbolic the higher up the ladder.
German and Russian pistols were small caliber designed to shoot their own soldiers in the back of the head. They planned on dealing with cowards and gross insubordination that way. In the 80's as an officer in training we were told that typically officers in the Turkish army were expected to shoot one solder a year.
Why would an officer be firing a pistol a lot in combat? Feels like a weapon of last resort, and should not find yourself resorting to it too often. I might be wrong. Just feels like it would not be incredibly effective and accurate against soldiers with rifles.
Nixon never fired his weapon in the series either. Officers are there to direct the operation, not necessarily participate in it. Kind of like a conductor of an orchestra, one would not expect him to pick up an instrument during a concert either.
Clearly, the colonel didn’t want to turn in the his daily use pistol to American. So he find a new pistol from the warehouse and turn it in to Winston.
It's symbolic if you think of it like offering your sword to the conquering force from the dark ages
imagine if the allies surrender instead of the Germans and Nixon just gives his unfired rifle.
Hi 👋🏼😷 I'm new here
And Winters grandson Lost the pistol while playing with it.
True.
LOL, well then it couldn't have been that treasured.
Who would let a kid play with that anyway.
How often in any army do officers engage in combat?
The ideal for an army officer is to never to have to fight personally, but to be willing to share the dangers of their men. Obviously good officers would still ensure they were physically capable and well trained.
There's actually an old saying from the 18th century that says an officer who has to actually use their sword to fight has already failed. Perhaps a bit harsh, but it gives the intention that the officer is there to lead his men, keep them alive, not really to spill any personal blood.
An officer is supposed to give direction for the soldiers, sure fighting with their soldiers is courageous but what happens if you lose that officer, the army will have no leadership
Nixon said he never fired his weapon, Winters was amazed.
The salute was un german?
Hollywood...screw up .... another missed opportunity.,.
His son lost the luger
Winters nephew lost the gun, if I remember correctly. Also, Winters was alive because I remember him telling the story
If so, it was after the documentary. Winters brought it out during that and told the story of it never being fired. If his nephew lost it, and was an adult, he was a moron. That's like
" Yeah, I have Excalibur right here...Huh, it's gone. Ah well just a big knife. No historical importance at all."
No pistol has "never been fired". They test them at the factory.
The gun is now in a museum
That’s beautiful 🌹🕊☮️
When men were men.
No that’s wrong, Major Winters received a gun as gift back home in the states and he’s never fired that pistol. Those words came out of the man’s mouth! But it’s still an Awesome scene!
Yes I am
MAJOR DANI : SALUTE MAAFKAN SAYA GENERAL?
TOLONG BERIKAN SAYA PELURU GENERAL SAHAJA?
It was therefore probably a parade gun. Which probably means the German kept his battle gun.😅
You probably meant to say: ,,Did you know ... ?" (instead of ,,Do you know ... ?").
Its not true. Every pistole in Germany was fired. To check the function.
And they also found a massive cellar full of wine and other alcohol, Nixon had a brilliant time with that lol
I guess he never had to qualify with it. See people. U all believe everything that pops up on tiktok
Sounds like Jim Cavezel narrating
Wait! That German is the German cannibal from the IT Crowd!!
Imagine men today having this kind of honour and chivalry on the battlefield today 😂
We're so fkd
Who kept the gun. In B of B Winters gave it back. Are you saying Winters gave it back.
He didn’t let him keep it, he took back to the world and found out it had never been fired.
The German Colonel has the knight's cross with oak leaves ....a high Award
Funnier historical fact in the Revolutionary war Francis Marian couldn't use hie sword because it was rusted into his scaberd. To much humidity not enough use.
A had many guns in hand thru my life. None of them made me any feeling except some guns i found reliable, accurate, handy or oposite. But once i took in hand nagant revolver made in 1932 wich was produced for NKVD. After holding that in hand for a while I felt somthing and refused to shoot with it. Since then i dont even take any nagant revolver in hand.
no more brother wars... watch Europa the Last Battle.
I have my grandfathers Luftwaffe p38 and I refuse to shoot it to honor him
Im 99% sure BS. I own guns and life like a few hours away from you. I doubt it very much.
@@alexanderkolodziej4808 cool I own guns too lmao, what's this comment even trying to say. You live nowhere near me
A weapon with no blood will paint a better future.
damn I thought this was about the last battle in WW2 where the nazi's, french collaborators, and american soldiers fought in a last stand against other Nazi's. before any reinforcements arrived.
Thanks for sharing so much valuable information on each video clip.
It was ridiculous. That they change this in the Band of Brothers series, and it wasn’t a German colonel, it was a German major.
Is he a surrendering enemy, especially a Nazi, he should take it. (betcha it's loaded) Then tell the Officer he can have it back if he will come visit him in the US where they can visit in true peace.
Much misinformation abounds concerning the Wehrmacht , Nazi Germanys defense forces many of the members were not hardcore Nazi as was Waffen SS. At the end of the war most of Germanys combat units were destroyed old men and young boys were sent to fight. The handgun in the surrender was said to be unfired the officer owning it most likely spent little time at the front
They should have included that detail.
I knew this 22 years ago. (I watched the special features)
Winters got to retire in a central PA county and live in peace. I grew up near this man, and never knew of his service. He just wanted to go home. Let us leave him in peace as Richard Winters; a man that served his nation in a time of great trouble.
So he keeps the gift and the blood of soldiers take home nothing ..tells a lot about greedy..The so called trophy sad indeed..gloating disgraceful
A honorable German Officer NEVER surrends..to Nobody ..
Für immer ehrlos und ohne Gesicht ☝️
And the German had only ONE pistol? Really!
Did you know thats acutaly Switzerland in the show?
An officer with pistol that had never been fired, means that officer never stood or fought with his men.
Seems kind of pointless to make this change. The real version was better.
One smal point is Winters' remaining seated while keeping tge Colonel standing. However, Winters then stood in a sign of respect as the pistol was presented. The dtsils in this film are fascinating.
BOB,
Best WW2 drama ever.
Bar Non.
ONLY IN REAL LIFE! IT SYMBOLIZES A WONDERFUL GESTURE!
So you want to tell me it was never shot? never tested or practiced yourself? Never at the factory, who test every weapon, must have fallen in between during the test. I don't think it was ever shot.
