Richard Winters - I cherish the memories of a question my grandson asked me the other day when he said, “Grandpa, were you a hero in the war?” Grandpa said, “No, but I served in a company of heroes.” What a perfect way to end an amazing series.

Baldemort

Still plan on watching the unofficial 11th episode? also im glad you are feeling better now!

Winters is not even talking about himself –– he's quoting the letter Mike Ranney wrote him. Myron "Mike" Ranney served in Easy, but we only see him in the first episode – played by Stephen Graham.

He's in Ep2 as well, he's with Lipton when they attack Brecourt. He received a Bronze Star for his actions there.

The "11th episode" is simply a documentary where the interviews (that you've seen portions of) are from. Some people say it's "unofficial" but that's only because there's no actors there, just the veterans... and it's fantastic. I think it was recorded before Band of Brothers, but it's very much a part of it and fits flawlessly. ====== What I've NEVER seen anyone reacting to is Lewis Nixon's... pardon me – Ron Livingston's video diary that he recorded (with HBO's blessing, maybe even at their request) during the Bootcamp – training hard under the watchful eye of Cpt. Dale Dye (who starred alongside them in the series as Col. Robert Sink) It's a lot of fun, a lot of trivia you'd never think about, and it shows they simply don't make TV shows like that anymore. It's 50 minutes and available widely on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UzzPkhNiAc

I love that they painted the real spears and not the hbo casted human. And remember they did downplay that run in the show thinking noone would believe it...so many good stories upon good stories inside of this series...I have a feeling their website will have increased traffic in the near future...thankyou for your content. I hope it brings you as much happiness to make your videos as I and others get from watching them. Lite love 🫡🙌👏🙏💪

scott osborne

those last words from winters what he said to his grandson always gets me grandpa were you a hero in the war no i served in a company of heroes (lump in throat tears in eyes) to me anyone that fights for there country weather they live or died are all heroes

The passive aggressive comment is really unnecessary. You could just say something like "see my comment about points on the previous episode." She's been upfront with us about being sick and even bedridden for a week, cut her some slack. Plus, no creator is obligated the read the comments; people seem to forget that Patreon is a donation site. We're not buying any goods from these creators, we're donating to help support them because we like their content. They don't owe us anything more than the occasional reaction. That being said, in my experience Teegan is far more active with her community than most creators.

SEAN ƴü KAY

Wasn't that winters response? Or did ranney write that...I have the book somewhere in this house- you r making me reach for it. Thankyou for that...what a generation, what a group, what a thing to do. From the Beach to the nest. Currahee!

SEAN ƴü KAY

Pump the hate breaks fox and friends. I would rather her make content and not slow down to read the comment section. She does read em, but it is mostly for us. She don't owe you or me or anyone anything. Can't we all fall in love with eachother again one day? who else likes to dance? While we all calm down ill go take the meds I think I should be on someday.... Also happy flag day. Xoxo

celilmandir

Winters asks the interviewer "do you remember the letter Mike ranney wrote me? Do you remember how he ended it?" And then he quotes that line from the letter.

SEAN ƴü KAY

I was also wondering how you get points. I mean if anyone deserved it ever, it was easy right?😉🏅

celilmandir

Winters is quoting a letter sent to him by Mike Ranney, the question asked to him by his grandson.

Alex Gorell

Glad you are feeling better Teagan.

The tone of this message was unproductive. If I’ve missed a comment in the past I apologize, but also consider that my comments are screened before I see them because of potential spoilers. There was no reason to really be discussing points prior to this episode so it’s very possible it was screened as a spoiler and that’s why I missed it.(right or wrong, just saying) However, as indicated by your tone, it seems my participation in the community has been bothering you for some time. I do try my best but if it’s not up to your standard feel free to unsubscribe! -Teegan

Michael

the very last line of this show gets me everytime.

Baldemort

Ya know ive seen many reactions to this show and so far Teegan is the only one who actively enjoys learning the most she can from it. Even picking up on small details too. Loved that about this. I cant wait to see more of whats to come! Keep "The Pacific" on your radar too! Just dont go into thinking its another band of brother but it is part of the :Band of Brother saga" as tom hanks and Spielberg call it. The third and most recent show is called "Masters of the Air"

celilmandir

Apologies, I can see how the message came out as more than rough. I guess perhaps previous experiences with other channels gave me different expectations when I came here. Also perhaps some moderator deemed the comments as spoilers, even though I've received interactions from other users. Besides, I hate when someone spoils things to first time viewers and I've always been extremely careful in wording my comments in a way that does not indicate whether someone might live, be injured, or be killed, at least until it's been shown on screen. Again, apologies, I didn't mean to pick a fight with anyone.

celilmandir

Teegan, first off I want to apologize again for my snarky comment earlier, it was totally out of line and completely undeserved. Then, I want to thank you so much for allowing us to accompany you along for your reaction to this masterpiece of a show. Trust me when I say I've watched a lot of reaction channels cover this show, and I can say with absolute certainty that yours was by far the best. You were a very keen observer, picking up on a lot of very small details and nuances that have escaped a lot of other channels I've watched. Heck, you even noticed things I had never picked up on before, and I watched this show dozens of times.. -- All of the Germany-Austria scenes in this episode were filmed in Switzerland, in Bernese Oberland and the nearby hotel Giessbach, if you ever plan to go visit that area.. – When they held the lottery to draw the name of the soldier going on, the helmet only contained Shifty's name, the NCOs and some officers had rigged it to allow him to leave. Sadly, following his accident and during his long convalescence, all his back pay and pistols were stolen. He was one of the last Easy Co men to return to the US, due to his extensive hospital stay. -- Sgt Grant recovered eventually from the bullet wound to his head, though he was left with some speech problems, and a partial paralysis in his left arm. -- Like you pointed out, the German general's speech particularly resonates with everyone, because it very well might have been the same words Winters would have spoken to his men, had they been on the losing side of the war. That German general also played in Indiana Jones’ Raiders of the Lost Ark. -- Donald Malarkey was supposed to be included in the baseball scene at the end, but Scott Grimes who plays him, missed a flight and despite hopping on a train, was unable to make it in time to be present for the filming. He said on a podcast it's one of the biggest regrets of his life, to have missed being in that scene, because the real Malarkey was present there, and Scott felt really bad about it. – Joe Liebgott did not, in fact, return to SF to drive a cab. After the war, he roamed through the US for over 3 years, perhaps suffering from PTSD, before eventually returning to California (not in SF) and settling there, working as a barber. He did, however, have a lot of little Liebgotts (he had EIGHT kids!), though he never told them anything about the war. They only found out about their father’s past history after Ambrose's book, and then the show, made Joe famous, and later they eventually came across some of his memorabilia stashed away in an attic - his 506th scrapbook and his jump wings. -- Sadly now all these formidable men have passed away. The last Easy officer to go was Ed Shames in 2021 (briefly mentioned in Ep7 when Winters goes through possible replacements for Dike, Shames is the one who's described as having seen too many war movies and thinks he needs to yell all the time). The last enlisted, and very last member of Easy was Bradford Freeman, not included in the show, who passed away in 2022. – David Webster wrote a lot of memoirs of his experience of the war, though at the time of his death, it had all remained unpublished. Stephen Ambrose was so impressed by the historical value of his writing that he convinced Webster's widow to submit the papers to a publisher, and eventually a book came out called "Parachute Infantry: An American Paratrooper's Memoir of D-Day and the Fall of the Third Reich". Ambrose relied extensively on these memoirs to shore up his own book and create the show. -- There are 2 more videos I would recommend you watch, on top of the documentary you already informed us you’d react to, though those other two could just be for your own personal enjoyment, if you want to learn more about the show itself. Prior to filming the show, the main cast was put through what they call an actor's boot camp, to shape them up and increase the realism of their on-screen performances. HBO gave a camera to Ron Livingston (Lewis Nixon) and told him to record as much as he could of that boot camp. https://youtu.be/Ju11gCisOL4?si=bTHuwX2cDuL7BAMB -- There's also some kind of round table where a good part of the cast were present at a reunion, and they share their own personal experiences of getting cast for the show, how some of the filming went on, and so on. https://youtu.be/76x42xBKenE?si=CppysTwSa_uxS5Hs&t=118

Robert Durant

You DEFINITELY need to watch the follow-up documentary to this "We Stand Alone: The Men of Easy Company", it's all the interviews you've seen at the beginning of each episode but you get much more stories and much more details all from the real veterans as they guide you from the training all the way to the end of the war. I highly recommend it.

Xavier Eaves

Has she done the pacific yet?

CVMA Arlo

The interviews include some of Joe Toye's family members, who talk about their Dad, and you also learn more about Wild Bill Garniere (sp?); I do highly recommend watching the interviews!

Kevin Cavanaugh

That was interesting. Glad you shared that with us.

Kevin Cavanaugh

That is Donald malarkey. Really very cool. Artifacts thank you

Kevin Cavanaugh

Another great reaction glad you’re on the mend

Kevin Cavanaugh

Oh my God, I’ve seen this miniseries a dozen times. If not more. It’s the first time I have picked up on winters telling Welsh that nobody gets hurt not now. Who does Harry Welsh call for Sergeant Grant?

Larry Darrell

First off… try not to get too ruffled or stressed from all the things you think you need to get done. There’s time enough for everything that Life has to offer. It’s all OK. — “Those who do not learn history… are doomed to repeat it.” Whoever said it first and every person that has said it since… So Damn True. I love the speech the German General gives to his men in the end. Correct in thinking it could have been said to the American Troops and I believe it actually was. The words were still true for Every Soldier that gave a piece of themselves in this war. That speech was meant for them all. “Men it’s been a long war, it’s been a tough war. You have fought bravely, proudly for your country. You are a special group. You have found in one another a bond… that exists only in combat. Among brothers, you’ve shared foxholes… held each other in dire moments. We’ve seen death and suffered together. I’m proud to have served with each and every one of you. You deserve long and happy lives in peace.” I also love Lipton reciting Shakespeare’s, St. Crispin’s Day Speech, from Henry V, speaking to his men before the Battle of Agincourt. “We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; For he to-day that sheds his blood with me, Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile, This day shall gentle his condition…” Which I’ve always took to meaning, every soldier that fights, spills his blood, loses a piece of himself, dies or survives… will forever afterwards, be bonded together. Friends and enemies alike, they are all a Band of Brothers. This episode and these messages always make me think of the song, “Brothers in Arms,” by Dire Straits, written by Mark Knopfler. “These mist covered mountains Are a home now for me But my home is the lowlands And always will be Some day you'll return to Your valleys and your farms And you'll no longer burn To be brothers in arms Through these fields of destruction Baptisms of fire I've witnessed your suffering As the battle raged high And though they did hurt me so bad In the fear and alarm You did not desert me My brothers in arms There's so many different worlds So many different suns And we have just one world But we live in different ones Now the sun's gone to hell And the moon riding high Let me bid you farewell Every man has to die But it's written in the starlight And every line in your palm We're Fools to make war On our Brothers in arms” https://youtu.be/jhdFe3evXpk?si=RY9jIubZqisHsobz We Fools… We Band of Brothers in Arms… We must learn and remember our History. Thank You Teegan. Enjoyed this very much.

What a pleasure it was to experience this series with you. What an emotional rollercoaster. I’ve seen this series so many times now, and other than the very first time I watched it, I’ve never cried as much as I have watching it with you. Thank you for sharing the artwork you bought. It’s going to look fantastic in a frame with the other artifacts that came with it. Perhaps in an arrangement like a film cell display? And please, please don’t apologize for being sick and bedridden. You are human, just like all of us, and I hope no one here expects you to do what you do when you’re down and out. And I know exactly what you’re going through with Baby Lite now attending school. I remember when my girls first started school, and all the times that they brought home some kind of germ infestation from the classroom. Ugh…they were truly trying times.

Dan M

Thanks for the link to the video over in the chat 👍

Ziro the Hutt

Oh that print is stunning. Yes that deserves a nice frame, to remember those boys. They are all now gone, but will never be forgotten. Whilst this isn't as heavy as the previous episode, its nevertheless still emotional, as we say goodbye to Easy Company. Of course this is their story, but it was echoed all over the companies, battalions, regiments, divisions and armies of the Allies and Axis throughout the War. In all these, soldiers, sailors and air force men and women, there were good people and bad; but they all shared the common bond of friendship, hardship, strife and battle. They did great things and terrible things, but it was their story - the story when humanity came to its darkest hour - to fight against the evil of the Third Reich, and Japanese Imperialism. Out of this, a new world was formed, the world was changed for better or worse; and it was these men and women that changed it. That's why they were known as the Greatest Generation. They answered the call, and weren't found wanting.

Brad

God bless you for this whole series reaction I just want to say thank you for your real emotions during all of this it just makes myself and all your followers LOVE you even more and can't wait to see what's next and get well and stay safe much Love from a Navy Vet of Desert Storm

Dave

Dan M

Thanks for your service, Brad 🫡

Cricket Cole

Sosa brady

you've become my favorite reactor. Thank you for reacting to this beautiful series. One of the best shows ever and your reactions were great

Ashley

Cant wait for the documentary, get to see so much more of the real Easy men.

TeeZee22

It was enriching to watch your reactions to this series! I especially enjoyed your observations and always intelligent commentary. You added so much to the enjoyment of the shows.

Saiyan Sweet

I LOVE and WANT that "Take Charge" portrait! need a link

Brad

Thanks Dan and it was truly my pleasure to serve this Great Country

Jeroen

WOW! Thanks for the art recommendation! I live in The Netherlands so this show has always been very meaningful to me. These men are literally a part of my freedom. They had a hand in why I live in a free country now. I also worked security in an art museum for 8 year, and I'm addicted to anything WW2. To the point where I researched the survivors and their stories, from a B-17 that crashed 300 meters from where I live now. (Actually thinking of writing a book based on their stories, though I'm not sure if I can or should.) These art pieces are like 3 worlds I had a hand in, are colliding. So like a regular addict, I couldn't help myself. I had to have that print. So I went to the site and bought the Victory Edition of this print, and also "Pride of our Nation" the Victory Edition. Which is signed by Buck, Malarkey, Guarnere, McClung, Babe, Freeman and Tipper. I love having a piece of history, and the artwork is beautiful.

Jerry Cook

I have purchased multiple autographed prints from valor studios. I also have multiple autographed books written about and by Band of Brothers actual men. With 1 book I purchased a piece of Wild Bill Guarneres backup parachute from his jump into Normandy is attached to the books faceplate.

Jerry Cook

I read that Wild Bill did roofing after the war.( I know! With only 1 leg. Amazing man. I also read he had a prosthetic leg. He wore that until he was guaranteed assistance. Then he never wore it (leg) again. Also the vets service gave him a new car. He didn't drive so his neighbor none other than Babe Hefron drove him around. Two awesome gentlemen.

Brian Scarbrough

I have loved this series for 20 years, and your reactions made me love it all over again. Thank you!
