Band of Brothers Episode 10 FULL LENGTH Reaction | Points

FULL LENGTH REACTION

Angela, in ep 9, Webster was the one who kept telling the baker to shut up until he finally broke, grabbed the guy and put a gun to his head -- NOT Spiers.

Ian Forbes

To explain points, I found this thread on Reddit. I can’t vouch for total accuracy but know it’s basically accurate: “1 point per month of service beginning September 16 1940. Each month abroad added another point Combat awards eg. Purple Heart or silver/bronze star and campaign star awards earned 5 Each dependent child under 18 earned 12 points to a maximum total of 36. Enlisted needed 85, officers I believe needed the same but were far more likely to have it. They were also assessed on ability and skills prior to VJ Day as they may be needed in the pacific. After VJ Day, enlisted in Europe became occupation forces if they had <60, liquidation (closed down bases) 60-79 and shipped home if they had >80. By December they changed it to a combination of points and years of service (basically to prevent a Shifty Powers situation where a guy’s served a long time but never got many medals because he’s never been wounded) and all enlisted with three or more dependents under 18 were automatically shipped home. Currently I don’t think there’s a points system in place, as most are in military as career or fixed tenure for scholarships.”

Angela, I do hope you’re planning on finishing Band of Brothers in it’s totality by watching the companion documentary “We Stand Alone Together”. It features longer and additional interviews with the men of Easy and gives more info about life after the war, and features actual footage and photos from training and the war. Given your attachment to Bill, I am going to selfishly add that he and Babe are prominently featured to hopefully ensure you react to this. 🙂

Yes, that was a German officer. I think BoB is even better on rewatch when you recognize the characters from the beginning. I never realized when I watched the show in the beginning, as I watched it dubbed, how much the actor of Shift actually talked like the real Shifty.

Bubba Fett

The austrian army was more or less incorporated into the the german army after Austria joined the Reich in 1938, roughly 800k served in the wehrmacht (German military: Heer, luftwaffe and Kriegsmarine for army, air force and navy) and somewhere shy of 200k in SS. The easiest way to distinguish between regular German army is the uniform colors. In film especially, wehrmacht (heer) are usually represented in the Grey (feldgrau) with the eagle on the chest and SS in black with the eagle on the upper arm. There are other details and certainly exceptions but where film is concerned, thats the typical way they are distinguished.

Something I would suggest as a good companion to this series is the short Netflix documentary series called Five Came Back. Its just 3 episodes. It covers 5 top Hollywood directors who put their careers on hold to serve during WW2. It has a lot of great real footage from all areas of the war, including some of the things from BoB. It also covers a lot of the social things happening at this time and the impact the experience had on these directors and the films they made.Just an all around good series that I never seem to hear anyone mention. Edit: I'll also add, that like a lot of this stuff, some of the things in this series can be difficult, but important, to watch.

The Pacific will definitely be a hard watch, more so if Angela doesn't have an in-depth knowledge of the war in the Pacific and the tactics used by both sides. Very different from the fighting in western Europe. Be ready for the Slurs and Violence.

John

Now that you know who's who, the documentary We Stand Alone, Together, will be extra meaningful. The interviews in the BoB series were snippets from that documentary. They go into a lot more detail. Thank you for reacting to this. As many times as I've seen it, it's still powerful to share with someone watching it for the first time.

Zephyr (AD)

"Tora Tora Tora" is very good. (I really need to watch "Bridge of Spies" one of these days, have heard nothing but good things about it).

Brian

Thank you for these reactions. I’ll echo a bit of a warning on the Pacific. The racism, hatred, and cruelty are very much front and center. Slurs are common place, and it can be difficult to get behind and root for ‘our guys’ through that lens. I still highly recommend you watch it. Just prepare yourself (as much as possible); it hits different than BoB

Robert Durant

Yes I hope you do watch and react to the follow-up documentary to the series "We Stand Alone Together" you got more interviews with the real men of E.C. and a recap of all the pivotal moments during their involvement of the war, as well as other emotional things they cover. I hope you will watch that too.

I mentioned that on the last episode as a minor correction but I didn't expect Angela would take such an important point from it. And we HAVE seen things like that happen where guys who have been very cool under pressure have the one experience they can't take, as Buck did. But it is important to both who Speirs and Webster are that it was Webster in that scene, because Webster was the one in that episode who was most obviously feeling like he'd lost his sense of purpose before finding the camp (besides maybe Nixon).

dys

It really surprised me that it felt more like what I'd been trained to expect from Vietnam War movies. Band of Brothers doesn't shy away from some borderline war crimes the Allies did commit in Europe but we still come away from it seeing them as the good guys. Especially because Angela has partly Japanese ancestry, just be prepared for it to possibly be even more personal given it's already tough to hear that one slur briefly in this episode.

Sterling LaLoge

Thanks for this wonderful reaction Angela. I will add my voice to the plethora of people begging for a reaction to the "11th" episode documentary. As well as hoping to see a reaction to The Pacific in the future. Just prepare yourself because they definitely do not shy from portraying the racism of the time. One of the things that I think people overlook in this series that they do not really reveal until this episode is Maj Winters view of the soldiers. Specifically, the first "man" he lost... Hall they make a point of him seeing him as a kid. The also made a point of emphasizing Winters seeing the German soldier that he killed at the crossroads as a kid. They reveal in this episode that he was the last soldier that Winters killed. So the first soldier that he lost was a kid and the last soldier that he killed was a kid. Shows kind of the heartbreak of war. I think it is kind of interesting that they also showed what I have seen described as the last casualty of war is safety. By which I mean, the men spend so much desire and worry about just getting safely to the end of the war. They will be ok, if they can just survive the war. Then the war ends and life still goes on.... People still die from all the things that people die of. So the last casualty of war is the death of the idea that if you just survive the war you are safe.

Brace yourself for The Pacific—it’s another Spielberg/Tom Hanks production, but the effect of it is much more brutal and violent, almost dehumanized. And others have already mentioned the disturbing slurs and racial attitudes. Masters of the Air, on the other hand, will be like a breath of fresh air after The Pacific—much closer to Band of Brothers in tone and effect, but still violent; it’s war after all.

Spiers is legit the Loot Goblin in Chief. Dude wanted AAAALLL the silver.

Erik O

Loved your reaction and look forward to your reactions on the next couple. I will say as a historian, the fight between the nazis and allies never reached the level it did against the japanese. I think a lot of it got burned off by WW1. I will also say that Pacific gives a very limited "Marine" view of a war that was way more complex than Europe. I'm still waiting for someone to tell the stories of the naval war. I would love to see your reaction to Midway & Flags of Our Fathers. Also, you might wanna check out the fat electrician, he tells history we shouldn't forget.

All the men have now gone to their final rest, I believe Shifty passed the same day/week as Michael Jackson and so news of his death was lost in the media firestorm following Michael's death. I would also add my vote to you watching episode 11, even if you don't do a reaction to it. Regarding the German officers surrender Richard Winters did accept his sidearm and found that it had never been fired. Richard made a conscious decision to honor that choice and also never fired it.

MertzRocks

After killing that kid, Winters kept shooting and probably killed some other soldiers, as there were A LOT OF THEM there, with more about to arrive. The quote was, "I fired my last shots there." meaning in Holland, but if that kid had been his final kill, I'm sure a German would have gotten Winters. His men were still seconds away from joining him. If there is a more definitive statement about this somewhere, please point me to it, and I'll say My bad. I definitely agree with the other things you said, so sorry if I seem to be nitpicking.
