Band of Brothers Episode 6 FULL LENGTH Reaction | Bastogne

FULL LENGTH REACTION

Comments

Jonathan Giles

Oh good. A nice happy episode of Band of Brothers. Looking forward to seeing the next adventure for Captain Winters and the crew............. 😔 😟 😢

The famous "Christmas Truce" happened during WW1 in 1914. Edit: I don't know if another truce like in World War I happened during the Battle of the Bulge.

Great reaction, again, gal! Just some extra info: you’re right about the lack of black people specifically in the show and there’s a pretty specific reason for it. The U.S. military was still segregated at the time (would become integrated a couple years after the war), but there were still numerous all black units who fought valiantly and were highly decorated, the show doesn’t portray them because the focus is pretty much all on Easy Company. The black woman you saw in the episode is based on a very real person as well as the other nurse, Rene. You should totally look up their real stories and how much they helped the paratroopers during Bastogne!

Renee Lemaire, the nurse, was a real person. Her real story is tragic and heroic. Google The Angels of Bastogne for more info. Thank you for reacting to the show! You're awesome!

Roe was applying a tourniquet to Harry Welsh’s leg, and then added a “M” for morphine to his head (to alert caregivers down the line), thinking at the time he wouldn’t be headed towards Bastogne with him. And the two nurses depicted in this episode were based on Renée Lemaire (who sadly did die during German bombing of the town as she was working to move the wounded) and Augusta Chiwy. You can read about them online and I appreciate the show including them to further depict the multitude of people involved.

Also! The nurse, Rene, in real life, unfortunately did die in the process of taking wounded men to safety out of the Church. She had managed to rescue several before the church would end up collapsing while she was in it.

My grandfather served in Patton's 4th armored division when it broke through the German lines at Bastogne. He was wounded by a tree burst and was hit in the face and chest by shrapnel and splinters. After recovering from the wounds he was able to rejoin his unit in April for the final drive into Germany.

This was what we called "The Battle of the Bulge". As mentioned in other comments it was a last ditch effort by the Germans to extend the war. Their intent was to drive a wedge between two army groups, one in the north and one in the south and re-take the deep water port of Antwerp. The Germans attacked an area of the American lines thst were held by green troops that didn't have much combat experience. The Allies were having a huge issue with supplies and equipment as we had expected to take deep water ports along the way through France and The Netherlands. The Germans had done a very good job at destroying/damaging those ports rendering them almost useless. The Germans also had supply issues and part of their plan was to overrun the supply depots the Americans had and use their gas for the German tanks. Those green troops fought valiantly and put up enough of a resistance that it slowed the German timetable down and the supply depots the Germans were hoping to overrun were destroyed and also gave the Americans enough time, barely, to get the town of Bastone somewhat fortified. As some other commentators have mentioned there were several black units that fought valiantly during the Bulge and suffered many losses. I mentioned the Allies supply problem.....since we didn't have any deep water ports the supplies were having to be shipped clear across France by something that earned the title "The Red Ball Express". These supplies were trucked across France, by in large, by transport companies of black soldiers.....certainly deserves mention for everything they did to keep the Allies on the move.

https://youtu.be/ZQgR1h2Rogg?si=garvViGqYBgRo3rV At The Freemasons Hall in March 2016, Peter Capaldi reads an incredible letter from WW1 Captain Reginald John Armes to his wife. On Christmas Eve of 1914, five months into World War I, something amazing happened: thousands of British and German troops on the Western Front decided to put down their weapons and greet each other peacefully. For the next few days, 100,000 men, British and German, chatted, exchanged gifts, sang carols, played football. They also, without fear, were able to buried their dead. On the evening of December 24th, the first day of the truce, Captain ‘Jack’ Armes wrote to his wife and described this incredible occurrence.

The "M" on the forehead is for Morphine so the medics know he's already had some.

110° is too many degrees Great reaction. We 💜 Doc Roe

I'm sure many people have said this already, but when episode 8 arrives, you will crash hard. It always leaves me in a pool of misery.

Marty McGee

This episode really hit home how bad ass the medics are. Like you said, they run towards the fire. Not to return fire, but to save lives. My cousin married a Navy Corpsman (medic for the Navy and Marines). He served in Iraq and Afghanistan. I gained so much respect for him after seeing this.

I don't believe there is any evidence that Eugene Roe ever actually met either of the Angels of Bastogne, although it's possible. I do applaud the show including both of them and, at least, shedding some light on their story. While Renee was killed during the bombing Augusta Chiwy, the Congolese nurse, survived to the ripe old age of 94 and passed away in 2015.

For whatever reason Shifty Powers doesn't play a large part, or even appear, in some episodes. The most notable appearance that you have already commented on was during the third episode, Carentan, where you wondered who the soldier was pressed into the corner while bullets were flying right past him. Shifty is also a part of the next episode along with some others, which I won't spoil for you.

Robert Durant

This episode (and the next one) represent probably the most heaviest battles of the war that Easy Company will be involved in. I hope it won't be long until we get to see you react to the next episode "The Breaking Point", you're probably going to go through the emotions on that one so be prepared.

So I just wanna give a huge shout out to the many "Docs" I had in Iraq, and how well this episode treats combat medics. They are gems, and us grunts would go berserk if they were threatened or hurt. Cause the flip side was they went berserk and did crazy stuff to keep us alive. When I got hit by an ied in Iraq my Doc was in another vehicle and he demanded they pull up along side so he could jump to my vehicle while we were moving so he could treat me (he was refused). He ran out in the middle of a firefight in Mosul and treated a civilian caught in the crossfire while being shot at by AKs & RPGs. He made it thru it all to become a Minneapolis paramedic, who took in homeless men into his house and tried to get them off their drug addictions. In 2019 one of those men stabbed him to death while he was trying to keep him from going to buy more drugs. RIP Doc, the best die young.

The man Winters captured at the beginning of the episode was a German soldier. They had no penicillin to get for Bill before that supply drop 2/3 of the way through the episode. Everybody just had to make do and hope that they didn't get infections, and those that did develop them had to hope they didn't get worse. They essentially had nothing. Scissors are for cutting clothes off. A naked casualty is a happy casualty! In all seriousness though, getting the clothing and kit {in the affected area) off of a guy who's been hit is very important, and cutting them is the most expedient way to do it. You need to be able to see the wound and the surrounding area in order to properly assess and treat it. Dressing and bandaging a wound with clothes still around it is a big no-no now. It's also important to put tourniquets directly on the limb without clothes underneath. They obviously figured that out after WWII. The reason is because no matter how tight you think you have it, the tourniquet can slip if there's anything beneath it. Because arteries are elastic and can retract several inches from the site of the wound the tourniquet needs to go as high on the limb as it can go, and it needs to remain in place or you risk the casualty bleeding out internally. Battlefield medicine had advanced significantly beyond what is shown in this show by the time I was in combat as a line medic with the infantry in Iraq. Guys like Doc Roe, and our other forebears in Korea and Vietnam, learned a lot of hard lessons about treating casualties that those of us who fought in the GWOT benefited greatly from. One of those lessons was arming medics. That happened partway through Vietnam institutionally I believe. When I was in Iraq I carried an M4A1 the same as my infantrymen. Medics no longer stay back. There is a Company Senior Line Medic for each company (that's what Eugen Roe was by the time they got to Bastogne, and is what I did after my deployment) who is part of the Company HQ element. Each platoon will have their own junior line medic who answer administratively to the SLM, but who fall under the CoC of their platoon leadership. Line medics live with, train with, and go on mission with their platoons. Medics do everything their combat arms counterparts do, but with a heavier backpack (the aidbag full of medical supplies) and the addition of all of their continuous medical training to keep up with current standards while not deployed. It is a very different, and much more involved role, than it was in the 1940s.

Actually there was a black person earlier. The first truck driver at the end of episode 5 was black. He was a driver in the "Red Ball Express" (google it). Great reaction video!
