Glad Band of Bros is back. :) Appreciate your sensitivity in reacting to this series. Sometimes the best reaction is no reaction. ;) I wish more reactors understood this. This one is among my favorites of the series (even though all of them are a fav in one way or another.) You might want to check out the film, "Patton" as it gives you a tiny bit about Patton leading his troops into Belgium to "rescue" the 101st Airborne. Aside from that, it is an another amazing WWII film. It won something like 7 Oscars.

These have been quite enjoyable to watch. This series is unfathomably well made and absolutely heart wrenching. To clear something up for you, when they wrote an "M" on the wounded lieutenant's head, it was to signify that he had been given morphine. This would prevent a doctor further down the line from giving him more and inadvertently killing him from an overdose.

The German artillery fire in Bastogne was made even more terrifying by setting a lot of the shells to explode in the air, still in the dense treetops. It splintered the trees both bringing down limbs that could injure and confuse troops trying to organize for defense etc, but also adding more shrapnel with the fragments of trees. Also, though I don’t think I’ve seen anything specific about it I would actually bet that the wood splinters would be a higher risk of infection and harder to clear out of wounds. Softer so harder to find, probably a lot more small fragments, and unlike the metal of a shell that has exploded it wouldn’t have been sterilized by the heat.

fyi :) The actor who did the "NUTS" speech, is Capt. Dale Dye. military advisor and veteran. He also did the military training

The Belgian nurse, Renée Lemaire, was a real person and a pretty incredible story (though no accounts saying she ever met Eugene, so that bit was added as a way to connect her into the show). She was visiting her parents in Bastogne and was trapped there when the broke out in the Ardennes so she volunteered at an aid station. From a commendation request- Lemaire was described as "cheerfully accepted the Herculean task and worked without adequate rest or food...", that she "changed dressings, fed patients unable to feed themselves, gave out medications, bathed and made the patients more comfortable...", and "her very presence among those wounded men seem to be an inspiration to those whose morale had declined from prolonged suffering." A German bomb did hit the aid station.. on Christmas eve. And reports say that after saving 6 soldiers from the burning building she died trying to save a seventh.

this is such a hard episode to watch, and I think your reaction is completely normal. Especially given how the actual location is SO near to you both geographically and emotionally. The 101st was surrounded for 7 days and the temperature was around 20 F/-7 C. I appreciate the way you are making the choice to watch something difficult, Mari. Hope you and Lawrence and the kitties are doing well!
