Band of Brothers Episode 9 FULL LENGTH Reaction | Why We Fight

FULL LENGTH REACTION

The edit is not quite finished and will be up soon. Also I’m in the Eastern time zone and posting times are funky for me right now

How f***ing scary that we currently live in a timeline where the possibilities of something like this repeating itself grow every day in people’s mind.

David Weinstein

This is the first and possibly only time we see Spiders shaken.

I believe everyone should watch Schindler’s List at least once (though maybe not one for Drew). It’s a stark reminder of how dangerous it becomes when a government strips away  habeas corpus, brands people as “threats” or “illegals,” and locks them up without oversight. From Nazi Europe to Operation Wetback to today’s ICE raids, once a state decides certain people aren’t worthy of due process, massive abuse and atrocities inevitably follow. And yet, the film also shows that even the most self‑serving, greedy individuals can be moved by compassion when they open their eyes to others’ suffering. It makes me ask myself, are we really learning from history, or just doomed to repeat it?

I often think this series should be show to high school students globally as part of some mandatory history education. Especially for this episode. The production of this episode was amazing in creating the impact of the discovery of the camp. A lot of the people playing the victims in the camp were actually very ill cancer patients that they asked if they would be willing to portray them, as they were the closest to someone suffering in a concentration camp they could get. Also the wife of the German officer was incredible in how much is conveyed between her an Nixon with just looks. She finds him invading her house, and disrespecting the picture of her dead husband, and glares at him as if to say, "how dare you come in here." And then when she sees him when she's struggling with the bodies, the look of shame she shows in how she can't meet his gaze, and just goes back to dragging a body, is so powerful. In reality it's hard to say how much the local people near camps knew. They certainly didn't know the details - they weren't allowed to go near them - but they definitely knew there was some sort of camp or facility that wasn't to be spoken of.

You always offer a hug for the people going through it but after this episode, please accept a big group hug from all of us. ❤️ This episode hits hard every time and is a stark reminder that losing empathy for others opens the door for treating people awfully and stripping them of their rights, dignity, humanity, and even their lives.

This episode was hard to watch, but it's important to show this so that it is never forgotten Here's the scary part, as bad it was portrayed in the show, it was actually pretty tame compared to what it was actually like in real life when allied forces started discovering these camps.

David

That was Webster, not Speirs, who pulled the gun on the baker.

David

Every time I rewatch this series, I feel a gut punch when I see that I'm getting to Bastogne, and then I get a lump in my throat when I see Why We Fight is next.

The Inedible Mattman

This is the hardest episode of television I've ever watched. As a Jew, I've always known about these stories as I heard them from family. But to see it so accurately recreated ... it's the kind of pain that hurts you not in the heart or the brain, but in the soul. Everyone should have to see this. Everyone should feel this pain. It's too important. Tell your husband ... he should watch this. And Schindler's List. They're powerful, but cathartic in a way. To see it, to know what it looked like and felt like, is something every Jew should see. No one should ever forget.

Imzadi

This episode is a tough watch. There is a reason why I have seen Schindler's List only once, more than 30 years ago. I live in Germany and went to school here. When the movie was released I was in 12th grade and the entire school watched the movie in a special viewing. I don't know how it is today, but as a Gen X everything regarding WWII was a subject for pretty much my entire school life with big emphasis on the reason why people let it happen. It was all about "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." Considering what is going on the world right now, more people should remember.

Peter Wyatt

I live in the states. When I was even in middle-school, they had us watch everything from Schindler's List to Escape from Sobibor. But that was at least a decade and a half ago.

Michael

I feel Schindlers List is a must watch! its a hard watch, but a must watch.

Rogier Oude Heuvel

Even though its hard, I do think EVERYONE needs to see Schindler's list. Its important to not forget the awful things that happened. Especially not how it happened cause its a slippery slope to get to Hatred.

I fully agree with everyone commenting here - this was a tough watch. But as hard as it was - it was merely a fraction of the real horror of those camps. There is only so much you can show in a fictional movie or series without breaking your audience. It is more than enough to get a feeling for what happened there and what it did to the soldiers that liberated these camps. I'm german too and I dove deep into this particular chapter of our history. First because watching "Schindlers List" in school, visiting memorial sites in former concentration camps and learning in history about the facts and - as someone said before - with the emphasis on why people let it happen, was mandatory. Secondly, I wanted to learn about the envolvement of my family, a pretty ordinary blue collar family at the time. I've been to several memorial sites and even though they are only partially preserved, they still have the aura of dread and doom of a haunted place. Walking through them, taking all the hard facts in, looking at the pictures and thinking about the day to day survival in these places - it simply breaks you. This must never be forgotten, we need this huge big warning sing - now more than ever. As for the story here - the two little boys watching the american army on the Autobahn were the same age my father was at the time, around 10 years old. Even he knew at this young age that there were horrible places in the woods near his hometown where they weren't allowed to go to because it was was dangerous. All his life he remembered the huge chimneys towering over the woods and the smoke and the smell coming out of them and wafting over the town. He saw the trains in the station full with people, often waiting there for days, and heard the warnings to not go near those trains or you would get arrested or even shot. My grandmother saw people getting busted in the streets of her hometown, many with the yellow magen david on their chest. The brother of my grandfather didn't serve in the army like him, but volunteered to work as an electrician(!) at Auschwitz, because he was a dedicated nazi and the work was extremely well paid...😧 This led to an estrangement between the two brothers who never spoke to each other again. My grandfather became a dedicated socialist after the war - because of what he experienced in the war. So it is pretty safe to say that most people knew there were camps and terrible things happened there - but most didn't know (or didn't want to know) to what extend. The government didn't advertise those camps, the guards (and the civil employees) where all volunteers and chosen by their loyalty to the nazi party and had an NDA, as you would say today. That's also why most of the death camps were built far east in todays Poland, Belarus and Ukraine, so no german citizen would see what was going on. But you can't keep such a huge undertaking a complete secret, so rumors and gossip where flying around and work camps like this one were all over Germany. The wealthy widow knew about that camp for sure. Her late husband was a high ranking SS-officer, maybe even the camp commander.

That's about as hard to watch as you can get in a televised medium. I've read that many of the concentration camp prisoners were cancer patients undergoing treatment, so they looked realistically emaciated. As horrifying as it is to watch, I'm glad they tried to give as realistic portrayal as practically possible. Schindler's List is a true masterpiece and worthy of seeing. That said, it's as difficult to watch if not more so. There is a beautiful story told in the midst of all that horror but that doesn't make it any easier to watch.

dys

Thanks for sharing all this. In the US we have this supposed principle of "I don't agree with what you say but I'll defend to the death your right to say it", so some of the laws in Germany around Holocaust denial being illegal etc. seem very foreign to us. But we also have our own history of atrocities that are inconsistently taught in school rather than mandatory as it was for you, and it seems our present government wants to erase any history that might make Americans feel bad, so I do see the value in saying as a society we will not allow this kind of speech. My dad is Jewish and his family were from Ukraine and Lithuania, one side of his family had immigrated to the US years before the Nazi era but the fate of his grandparents on the other side we'll never know for sure. I haven't visited any of the camps so far but visiting the memorials in Lithuania was especially powerful to me.

First off, love to you Angela for putting your emotions out there. Couple lil things, first, before the youtube mob attacks you, just know the woman Nix broke into was Gen. Irwin Rommel's wife, who was one of Germany's best army commanders and forced to commit suicide b/c Hitler believed he was part of the plot to kill him (wrongly). I'm sure the youtubbers will point this out ad neuseum. As a military vet I appreciate you watchin this series, tryin to understand where we come from. I don't ever think my 3 tours in Iraq is equal the guys from WW2, Korea or Vietnam. I made 2 visits to the VA hospital and then stopped trying to claim benefits cause they needed it more. But these are the stories we need to remember and hold onto. I'll also make a small plug about how important your vote is to guys like me who pay the price. On a different note are you gonna watch Pacific and can I also suggest Midway?

dys

Very minor thing, but Webster was the one threatening the baker, not Speirs.

Marty McGee

I'm a softie too and this episode always wrecks me. But it's brilliantly done and needed to be included. What gets me is when they open the train car and Winters just looks at it with that reserved melancholic expression. I mean what can you say? What can you do at that point? President Franklin D Roosevelt is who died mid-war. Harry S. Truman became President throughout the final days of the war. Dwight D "Ike" Eisenhower was the Supreme Allied Commander in charge of the armed forces. He did become President later on after the war. Schindler's List was very difficult. I too only saw it once and never could bring myself to watch it again even though it's brilliant. I think it's beneficial to watch as a reminder of the atrocities, but not sure it's a need-to for everyone.

Granger Hermion

Someone mentioned that your husband should see this and Schindler's List. Please don't force him to watch either one. If he chooses to, support him, love him and help him through the experience of these . Remember that Steven Spielberg, who wanted these to be made is also Jewish and knew these should be as true to reality as they could be. If chooses to not watch, please also support him and support his decision.

Nathan Jasper

A couple years ago, I visited the Sherwin Miller Museum of Jewish Art. They begin with showing the oldest forms of Jewish art and moves into the modern times. There's a segment of the museum that deals heavily with what happened during the Holocaust. There's boxes filled with eyeglasses and shoes of people that were sent to the gas chamber. It's a horrifically indescribable feeling to see that.

Christopher Pearce

I appreciate your honest reaction to such a sobering subject. It's difficult to see such realistic portrayals of actual events. I do want to address your post-episode comment about America doing the same thing to the Japanese. I understand you were emotionally impacted by what we saw, but this comparison isn't entirely accurate. While the U.S. did intern a large number of Japanese Americans, they were not murdered or forced into slavery. The living conditions, while not luxurious, were significantly better than what was depicted in the episode. Internees were adequately fed, slept in actual beds, and had sufficient hygiene and healthcare. The Japanese initiated the attack on the U.S., not the other way around. I concede that the U.S. could have chosen not to round up Japanese Americans out of fear, but the attack on Pearl Harbor deeply affected the nation, much like 9/11 did for our generation. We learned from our past responses, and while mistakes were made, they were not genocidal ones.

we spoke about watching Schindler's List and he said it wasn't that he was avoiding it but it wasn't something he could sit down and relax to. We may end up watching it on the channel

Nathaniel Castle

I watched Schindlers list, its an amazing movie but i will never watch it again. I think this episode might make it into the same list, been a long while to feel quite this devastated by a piece of media. Amazing reaction

DarthChef

In another life I dated a Jewish woman who had never seen Schindler's List. Not to get into too many details, but some of her family was lost during that time. She knew what the movie was about and said she could never watch the movie. I agreed with her because I knew the only way she could watch it would be on her time table and only when she was really ready to watch it. And that time may never happen. I would give you and your husband the same advise. Thank you for your compassion and empathy.
