Thunder! A squad is 6 - 10 sodiers, a platoon has 3 - 4 Squads in them. While a company has 3 - 4 platoons and a battalion is 3 - 5 companies within them. Followed up by regiments which contains 3 -5 battalions. And a divison has 3 regiments within them. There are guides that explains this more. About Blight, its a very interesting point you make, ive seen this serie way too many times but not thought of Blight like you mentioned. There are some men whom likes the war and enjoyed it and then the counterpart Blight. There was a man called Jack Churchill, aka Mad Jack. He charged the beach of Normandie with a sword and there are even a picture from that event with him holding the sword in mid of the beach. There are so many aspect of the war and it brings out the horror for most and some deals with it during the war like Blight and others it catches up to. Great reaction Biss. Looking foward to your next one.

The show got the facts about Blithe wrong. He actually did survive, but he never attended any of the reunions, so the rest of the soldiers assumed that he died and that's what they told the creators of the show. Blithe didn't pass away until 1967.

Flash!!! I know very little about what it is like to be in the military and to see battle since I have not served. However I do feel this show does a good job in giving a representation of war and the affects on soldiers, mentally and physically. As the series goes on, I found myself struggling with these depictions of battle. Which I suppose it means the show has done its job in being as realistic as possible. But yes things will continue to escalate in intensity as the story moves on. Might want to have tissues at the ready for those of you who are watching for the first time. This show still gets to me and I have seen it several times.

Typically, I would (like the last episode) take a moment and tell you what the difference is between companies, units and divisions are ..but you appear to ignore all of this help we throw to you. I have not seen ONE reply to ONE letter that ONE person has ever written to you!!!!!! You ignore all

duane

Not cool my man not cool at all. She does reply to people. She has taken time out of her very busy day and has reply to me on numerous occasions.

Albert Blithe (June 25, 1923 – December 17, 1967) was an American career soldier who served as a private first class with Easy Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, in the 101st Airborne Division during World War II. He served again with the Airborne during the Korean War and was twice decorated for gallantry. On December 10, 1967, while on active duty in Germany, Blithe felt nauseated when he returned from a weekend at Bastogne, Belgium, where he had taken part in the ceremonies commemorating the Battle of the Bulge. On December 11, 1967, Blithe was taken to the emergency room at Wiesbaden Hospital, Germany, where he was admitted with a diagnosis of a perforated ulcer. He died in the intensive care unit on December 17 and was buried in Arlington National Cemetery at the rank of Master Sergeant in the US Army.

She reads all the replies, but what exactly do you expect? Her answering to all? That's unreasonable, chill

Myrodor

Not sure what upset you but she does read the comments. She even mentioned at times what people said when talking about it on stream. It’s rude to go and say she is ignoring everyone when it’s not true. She did the movie poll, the recent one, by taking what people suggested. If she was ignoring them she wouldn’t have the movies people suggested on it. Also, you could have always asked nicely if the comments help rather than just posting “SHE IS IGNORING EVERYONE”

Fish

imagine expecting someone to reply to every comments this person get in one day when there are hundreds and hundreds, some ppl might have extra time

Rob Schofield

Duane, why would you post something like this here? I mean, this not a positive way to get attention for yourself. If you disagree or have a problem with anything be polite at least.

Rob Schofield

Yeah I have seen the show a few times, and never knew about this truth about Blithe until now. TY for sharing this info.

Tom Evans

This one is my least favorite episode, because 1) they got Albert Blithe's story wrong, and 2) there's so much combat I get battle-fatigue from watching this episode

THUNDER! "They've got us zeroed!" means that the enemy knows our position and has us targeted for indirect fire such as mortars or artillery.
