It's just the start of a true story! 🥲

Baldemort

In real life, those gun placements were not in a field, they were actually so well hidden in between trees and bushes that they were almost impossible to spot from the ground or recon photos.

Fantastic reaction again, I'm glad you're enjoying this amazing piece of history! When Winters and the handful of guys he assembled come up on the dead paratrooper hanging from a tree, there's a big whooshing sound overhead and (usually, not sure about Netflix) the subtitles often say it's [planes soaring] but in fact, that noise is made by the massive shells fired from the battleships off the coast, 14in shells reaching up to 21 miles away, which is why they mention it's the Navy. The battleship USS Texas, a few days after D-Day, even flooded some compartments on one side of the ship to gain a few more degrees of elevation on their guns, in order to reach even further inland! On D-Day, especially concerning the paratroopers, they didn't have the resources yet to handle prisoners in the early phase of the invasion, which is why they typically didn't take any. Lt Speirs actually shot a group of them because they couldn't spare the manpower needed to guard them. Malarkey meeting the German prisoner actually happened, but the man was from Portland, not Eugene (unsure why they felt the need to change that in the show). However, Malarkey and the man actually worked right across the street from each other, they found out as they spoke. The distance between them was changed in the show, because it would have been too unbelievable for the audience otherwise, to be told they worked across the street from each other. There are 2 guys from Easy looking for a Luger, Hoobler seen in the first episode, trying to walk away with the fake German's gun at the airfield, and in this episode here Malarkey, running out into the firefight to check the dead Germans. Speaking of that scene, to simulate the bullet impacts in the ground, there were tiny amounts of explosive buried in the mud, and when he was running back, Scott Grimes, who plays Malarkey, was not meant to slip and fall, this was an accident. But he knew he might be laying right over some of those explosives that could pop out any moment, so the look of fright on his face isn't faked at all. If you watch the assault on the trenches again, keep an eye on Buck Compton. During his jump, he lost his machine gun, and acquired another one after landing, but he didn't test fire it, and unbeknownst to him, the firing pin was broken, leaving him unable to shoot the gun. That's why he keeps messing with it at first, taking the mag out, cycling it, always asking someone else to cover them. When Nixon tells Winters that he "sent the map to division", in fact Nixon ran the map himself, about 3 miles back to Utah beach, because he understood the importance of the information on it - all the German artillery pieces in Normandy. The high command back on the beach was so grateful for this piece of intelligence that, as a manner of thanks, they sent the first two Sherman tanks rolling off the beach to reinforce the 101st. These 2 tanks were used to flush out the remaining Germans at Brecourt Manor. Those are the 2 tanks we see Nixon riding on after the attack on the trenches. About Utah beach: Later in life, a lot of vets wrote books about their experiences of the war, and in some of these books, their accounts of the attack on Brecourt Manor can be found. One of these vets was once contacted by man named Eliot Richardson, who would later become an attorney general in the Nixon administration, but was at the time a medic landing on Utah Beach on D-Day. Upon reading these books, he finally understood the reason why the artillery barrage had suddenly ceased on the beach that day, and reached out to some E-company vets to thank them for most likely saving his life, and so many more.

Great video!! It made my day when I saw you posted this. I cant wait for the rest and The Pacific and Masters of The Air. I am so jealous that you get to watch all this for the first time lol!

John Thomas

What an awesome reaction. You sure you've never seen this series before 🤣🤣🤣....no spoilers but there were so many things you mentioned that are brought up throughout the series....as you see them you will understand. Anyway as part of the German planning they flooded wide swathes of farmland which made the landings all that more difficult. Glad you caught on to that device that the Americans used to identify themselves. I believe they were referred to as "crickets".....one click was to be met by two clicks. That besides the "Flash" and counter sign "Thunder" to assist in identifying friend from foe. Looking forward to the next one 😃

Dan M

Hey Teegan! I said it over on YouTube, but what the hell, I’ll say it again…the T-shirt looks fantastic on you! Hope you had an amazing vacation! I’ve been knee deep in yard work since 8am and broke for lunch. I grabbed my phone, and the first thing I saw I was the notification for this reaction. I’m already exhausted but knowing I’ll be watching this episode along with you tonight just gave me my second wind (drinking a Celsius will also help 😉). 3 miles up, 3 miles down…no problem now!

Dan M

Honestly, watching along with her is like I’m watching it for the first time again. All the feels of a first time watch come rushing back through her experience.

Clay F

Excellent reaction. Thanks. Liked your outro. Executing prisoners of war = violation of Geneva Convention (1929) Glad that Sobel is not leading them, especially not in the field. Winters is a true leader and apparently a good tactician. "It is generally thought in the Army that Winters deserved a Medal of Honor for his attack at Brecourt Manor instead of the Distinguished Service Cross, but there was another Medal of Honor given in another D-Day action and there was a concern about giving out too many."

Robert da Spruce

I’ve seen quite a few reactions to this show over the years. But I think your reactions have to be some of best Teagan! (It is Teagan right?) I don’t know if your background as a teacher has anything to do it. Or you’re just particularly observant. But you pick on many small details that many reactors miss. Not only small details like the clicker, and compass (the one Winters pulled from his pants), etc…But you also understand the bigger picture. How the artillery at Brecour Manor were firing on Utah beach. And the importance of what Easy did, not just on the small scale, but how it fit into the overall invasion. And how the destruction of those guns helped the other troops landing at Utah. Also love hearing your thoughts during the outro. And your observations about the relationships and interactions between the guys are particularly insightful. Looking forward to watching the rest of the series along with you!

Hi Robert!! I feel an immense amount of pressure to do this series the justice it deserves so I’m pulling out every ounce of WWII knowledge I’ve ever learned to aid in my thoughts and discusion!

LiteWeight Gaming / Reacting

I’m so happy to hear you’re enjoying it! I am trying my absolutely hardest to honor the series and honor the men!

Clay F

I don't know. The ending part of my comment in quotes is from trivia on IMDb.

celilmandir

Glad you enjoy this kind of additional info, i have little bits like this for every episode!

sammy

I can't imagine how though those men were! They care more about their brothers in arms than themselves!

sammy

Don't say too much no spoilers please she is a great reactor!

William Aultman

Your screen, (the screen you are watching) has no audio and the video is all blurred out. What's the deal. am I doing something wrong?

LiteWeight Gaming / Reacting

Hi William! You have to have access to the media yourself. Most watch on two screens. I cannot post the full episode as that is Illegal Redistribution of Media and is a felony offense. I do list that in the description of the tiers but if that is not what you were expecting you can definitely request a refund! Sorry about that!

William Aultman

Duuuhhhh! thank you. Love your reactions.

celilmandir

Just adding a few answers to some questions you asked during the video. When Compton, Guarnere and Malarkey are getting in position to throw grenades, Compton makes the hand gestures with his fingers, 1-4-2-2-5, meaning one MG42, 25 yards. And it's very impressive how you pick on some of the finer details of this show. The vast majority of reactors don't notice that Compton gets jostled by someone, causing him to drop the grenade. And you immediately caught on that Guarnere might not have been the best suited to be in front. I've seen a lot of other channels barely having made the connection that he was the one having lost his brother. Winters, like many officers, had a tiny compass sewn into his pants, but it was something that most enlisted men weren't even aware of. And one thing that's never clearly voiced in the show.. these men were VERY young, to lead others in battle. The actors might have been older, but Winters was only 26 on D-Day, Nixon 25, Spiers was 24, Meehan and Compton hadn't even turned 23 yet.

sammy

There are ways to do 1 device full reaction Evie reacts or Asia and Bj or popcorn in bed ( all good reactors) it's up to the creator to update or not... her reaction is still awesome :)

Greg

7am in europe. Greetings from Europe, perfect timing for the upload, now I have something to watch alongside my breakfast. Wish you all a nice Sunday

Tim C

Wonderful reaction! The assault on Brecourt Manor demonstrates Winter's ability to think quickly and decisively in the face of chaos. If you are interested in a view of this action from a more tactical perspective, there is a great YouTube channel called The Operations Room which does animated explanations of key battles from WWII and many other conflicts. They cover nearly all of the key battles you'll see in Band of Brothers. I find their videos a great help when trying to understand some of these events from a broader view. Here is their video on Brecourt Manor. If you're interested, you might want to wait to watch until you've finished the show, as it does have a bit of a spoiler at the end. It has a handful of war-era pictures of people involved as well as a few current pictures, so it will identify some of the people in the interviews. https://youtu.be/814qEsxSzmA?si=IjsFx2-xyGVl6ttJ Thanks for the great reaction, I look forward to more!

Dan M

The first words out of your mouth during your outro were the same thoughts I had the first time I saw this episode from the moment they started jumping out of the planes. How different would this campaign have been if Sobel were in charge? The man was a nervous wreck during training exercises, and literally led his men out from cover into the open and to their (training) deaths. The one striking trait about Winters is how calm and in control he remains throughout the entire conflict at Brecourt. That is true leadership at its core. It was already mentioned in a previous comment that Winter’s recommendation for the Medal of Honor was reduced down to the Distinguished Service Cross. Apparently there was a policy in place in the Armed Forces of awarding only one MoH per division, and the medal was already awarded to Lieutenant Colonel Robert G Cole. It’s mind boggling how the powers that be felt that they had to limit the recognition of bravery and service above and beyond the call of duty by the men and women who fought for our country.

Dan M

“That night, I took time time to thank God for seeing me through that day of days. And prayed I would make it through D-Day plus one. And if somehow, I managed to get home again, I promised God and myself...that I would find a quiet piece of land someplace...and spent the rest of my life in peace.” One of the best monologues I’ve ever heard in a movie/series.

Dan M

“Germaners”…😂

Dan M

Your attention to detail during your outros is simply amazing. And I say this for all of the reactions I’ve seen so far. You’re insightful, intelligent, and well spoken. What an incredible experience it must have been for the kids who were lucky enough to have you as a teacher.

Dan M

Greetings from Long Island! As you’re getting ready to begin your day with a (hopefully) yummy and nutritious breakfast while watching Ms. Lightweight’s reaction, I have just finished watching her reaction (it’s 1:34 am here…I’m a night owl) and I will be heading off to bed, totally content. Enjoy the reaction…it’s great, as usual.

celilmandir

Winters was eventually recommended for the Medal of Honor for his leadership at Brécourt Manor, but due to the quota system which initially limited the distribution of the award to only one per division, and since one Medal of Honor had already been awarded to Lieutenant Colonel Robert G. Cole, the recommendation was downgraded to the Distinguished Service Cross. Cole earned his Medal of Honor for leading a bayonet charge as some paratroopers of the 502nd Parachute Infantry Regiment (Band of Brothers' Easy is in the 506th) were assaulting the village that will be shown in Episode 3. Cole would eventually be killed by a German sniper during the Market Garden operation.

Greg

Sleep well mate

Clay F

Thanks for the info

Ron A

its true. winters is a great leader. and i guess you will be even more impressed with him in episodes to follow... he seems like a extremly good man and leader by the way his soilders talks about him in the interviews. they really respect him. And i think this miniseries has done a great job at showing us why they feel that way

Dan M

Thanks for providing that link. I’m going to check it out when I sit down for lunch later.

Dan M

Don’t put so much pressure on yourself. Your commentary during the episodes and in your outros have been so impressive.

Dan M

Wow! Thank you for all of this info! This is great stuff! I’m assuming you have some military background?

celilmandir

Not one bit of military background, I just love this series to death! I watched it so many times, I was able to watch her reaction to ep1 while I was at work l, just the blurry video in the corner was enough to let me know what was going on on her screen. I've also read a lot of Easy vets books, which is where I draw some of the additional info. There's also a YouTube channel that did a thorough analysis/breakdown of every episode, and they had as one of their regular guests someone who actually worked on the show, so they were able to add another layer of behind-the-scene stuff. There's another channel who had podcasts about each episode, usually inviting actors from the show as well, so there's another source of good information, as a lot of these actors had first-hand contact with some of the vets. ========= Spoilers in the links ahead, so Teagan do not watch! ========== Breakdown-behind the scenes channel, this is the first ep, the next one is on the sidebar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRhPsJ9jMjA Episodes with actors/crew explaining stuff as the episode goes: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLSduohp5OGX7-7xjO1AGvrxUpLhUVv2us

Robert da Spruce

I love you want to do the series justice. But try not to stress too much. You’re doing a great job!

sammy

I'm not a spoiler but spears is my favourite other than Winters

Kevin Cavanaugh

I must say I just bought your Patreon today for the expressed purpose of watching this series with you. Easily the greatest miniseries of all time if not the greatest depiction of real life events. I’ve seen a lot of reactors none of them or as comprehensive or intuitive as you. I watched episode one and two great reactions lot of what you’re saying is spot on about these men and how it’s depicted keep up the good work. Glad I bought your Patreon. Can’t wait to watch other reactions. Thanks.

sammy

The episodes will get more intense as they go i must warn you

Michael Cowell

Just so you know the British, Poles and Canadians all used the 'crickets'. It helped the soldiers (paratroopers) as you mentioned to identify each other.

Larry Darrell

“You just got to learn to return his fire is all.” Working in construction, this is a lesson you learn quickly. Maybe more than 50% of what is said between my union brothers is shit talking. None of it is serious and it makes the day go by. Some years, me and another guy bitched at each other and yelled at each other all damn day. Not one nice thing was said between us. When we were putting our tools in the gang box at the end of the day, he said, after a short silence, “I wonder what all the other trades are thinking of us?” We both had big laugh. That was a memorable day.

Ziro the Hutt

Yeah a lot love Spears. I'm more of a Winters guy. Spears was a bit of a lunatic!

Ziro the Hutt

The only thing I know of my great-grandfather from World War I during the long Battle Of The Somme, was that he and a company of men did something similar to Winters and his crew here. They were attacking a manned German position and apparently almost all of his fellow Tommie's, were killed or injured, so he manned a German machine gun to fend off a counter-attack, and managed to hold the position. He was awarded the Military Medal for it, and when he died, his story was in a newspaper. I really need to find the article as its there someplace, as either me or my sister, who inherited my grandmothers items after she died aged 101, have it in a box someplace. The medal however went to one of my grandmother's brothers, who all fought in the Second World War. Two rather chilling things in her inheritance I received also, was a German watch "obtained" during the War, and something that curdled my blood when I picked it up. It was an old cracked sherry glass, with a Swastika on it. To actually touch something like that, I'll never forget.

Samuek

As someone who's the son of a veteran, it really makes me cry at the fact that someone out there in the world thought that my dad was the enemy and would've killed him for their country, because that's what my thought too. Your point on the American who was fighting for Germany really makes me emotional because in a different world a lot of men and woman could've been friends or family. But in war they're thr enemy and you're trained to kill the enemy. You have such a good understanding of that scene that not a lot of other people think about. Super great reaction I know I'm late but can't wait it finish watching!
