Band of Brothers 1x10 Full Length Reaction

Comments

Lee Aguera

Episode 10 gets me every time. That last line "But I served in a company of heroes..." Tears every time. Just automatic waterworks. What a beautiful series.

Alex Amerling

I love the German general's speech to his soldiers. Shows the soldierly brotherhood on both sides.

In July of 2022, the last surviving member of Easy Company, Bradford Freeman, passed away at the old age of 97. Their story will be forever told. Rest in peace to all those who served and gave their life for the war. And Currahee o7

I always get emotional at the interviews with the vets throughout the run, but when Lip quotes Henry V, and then Winters follows with "No, but grampa served in a company of heroes," it just hits different. Even thinking about it's got me verklempt. lol I truly love this series. It's beautifully done. And a once in a lifetime opportunity for everyone involved. The actors still get together to this day and share not only a bond with themselves, but with the men they portrayed. There are interviews and events on YouTube as recent as last Spring where they still get together and talk about their experiences. I'm also like you Jacqui, I tend to skip opening titles in series when I've watched it once. But not this one. And yes, the music will stay with you.

The National World War II Museum Easy Company: England to the Eagles Nest tour ends in Zell am See. I was there at the end of last September and it is without a doubt the most beautiful place on the planet. By luck, I think I was in the Colonel Sink suite, top floor, with a view of the lake and mountains. As much as you love this series, I see this tour in your future.

The National WWII Museum had a 20th anniversary event with panel sessions with the actors, Capt. Dye, relatives of the BoB men. Most, if not all, the sessions are on YouTube and DEFINITELY worth a watch for behind the scenes stories and hearing about their experience making the series. Not something to react to, just entertaining.

Thank you for your impressions of this series. I've watched it through dozens of times now. I catch something new every single time. What I enjoyed about your run-through though was your takes on things like lighting, music and cinematography. I had been experiencing it but hasn't really thought about it. Not only is this more than just a program, it's a testimony. It's a monument to the men of Easy Company. And the fact that it was completed with film making excellence just makes it complete. This episode always gets me. From the moment we see Buck take off the catchers mask until the real Winters says "No, but I served in a Company of heroes" the water works turn on. Every. Single. Time. They're tears of joy that those men got to have a life after that horror. Thanks again.

Great reaction to this entire series Jacqui. I've subscribed to many reactors on YT but you are the first for me to subscribe on Patreon. I thoroughly enjoyed each of your reactions to the series. There are several YT videos that you may want to watch to enhance your appreciation for this series. I'm sure others have suggested the "11th part" We Stand Alone Together" and I do too but here are two that you may want to watch just for your personal education/entertainment: The first one is about the making of the series. This is the link:Behind the Scenes The Making of Band of Brothers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQZhAhOOte8 The second one is a video diary that Ron Livingston (Nixon) made showing what the actors went through to get prepared for the series: HD THE MAKING OF BAND OF BROTHERS - Boot Camp | Behind the Scenes | Currahee! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtzSgr_ylBU Looking forward to your reaction to "The Pacific".

Thank you for letting us accompany you in your journey through this absolutely unique window into WWII. We laugh, we cry, but this changes us forever. Malarkey was supposed to take part in the baseball game scene at the end of the episode, but Scott Grimes missed his flight to Austria, and couldn't be there for the filming. He's said it's one of his biggest regrets in life.

Brett Oliver

Thank you for reacting to the series. I'm really glad i got experience you seeing one of my favorite series. I'm sorry you were so hard hit by "Why We Fight," but that episode brings me to tears after every viewing. I'll leave you with this neat fact that the show gets incorrect: Winters kept the German officer's sidearm, he did not return it. Winters kept it and took it home, leaving it in a box for a while. When he finally took it out and inspected the pistol he saw it had never been fired. The pistol was factory new, and Winters never fired it while he owned it.

Chris Rawson

As you clearly know your movies, the Actor who gave the German General's speech, Wolf Kahler, also appears in " Raiders of the Lost Arc " ( 1981 ), as a Nazi Colonel ... but also plays a German Veteran at a D-Day anniversary celebration in the 2023 film " The Greater Escaper ", starring Sir Michael Caine and Glenda Jackson, in her final role. His Grandfather was a German POW in WW1, who was imprisoned in a camp in Northern England ...

Alex Amerling

Also in real life Winters kept the German colonels pistol

Earl Smith

Sobbel started the War as a captain and ended the war as one. Winters started the War as a Lieutenant and ended as a Major, One hell of a rise through the ranks.

I had the honor of meeting a few of these men when I was a kid. Winters, Compton, Malarkey and Guarnere. Embarrassingly I almost knocked Winters over in a hurry to get to the next exhibit. My stepdad was pissed, I didn't know who it was, he did.

Here is a video of The Eagle's Nest. The last 5 minutes shows photos. You get to see how gaudy the elevator was. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lO5tpQjGrG4&t=944s One thing I was amazed is a LOT of detail to history. In this episode that is EXACTLY what the Goerhing house looked like. It was hit by a an Allied bombing raid.

Hitler killed himself in a bunker in Berlin. That was just an SS officer at the Eagle's Nest. Plus, Easy took Berchtesgaden in May. Hitler killed himself in April. Had he done it at Berchtesgaden, he would have been an absolute mess by the time they got there.

Brian Martin

"No, but I served in a company of heroes." That gets me every time, and I respectfully disagree with Major Winters. He was the very definition of a hero in my book. I'm also proud to say that I have a handwritten note from Bill Guarnere. I wrote to him via a website that his grandson created, thanking him and his comrades for their service. Never did I expect to get a response, much less a personal, handwritten one, but I did. In it, "Wild Bill" stressed that he was no hero, that he only did his duty. What a special generation those men and women were.

About that incident with Spears & the prisoners; the Army had parachuted behind enemy lines; the Americans become imediate targets of the Germans; they had German prisoners, and they were behind enemy lines. Both sides had enemy s around them. the Americans did not have a prison cell for their prisoners, Spears dealt with the prisoners as he had to. That means give 'm a smoke, and then shoot them.

Volker Heuermann

In the Eagles Nest, no, that was not Hitlers body, that man died in Berlin.

Craig Nickum

Colonel Sink later said Spiers should have shot the guy, and he would have backed him.

Chris LaLonde

I love finding little "mistakes" that the editors missed in post-production. One of them in this episode occurs at around 9:15 into the episode when they are driving (and walking) into town. If you look at the 2nd story window on the building that has the word "MAGGI" on the corner, you can see a person taking video of the actors. :)

Stuart Brewster

I've lost count of how many times I've watched this series. I watch it at least once per year since it came out, and to this day it still has the same emotional impact, and I still can't ever bring myself to skip the intros. This is a series that needs to be seen by as many people as possible, there are lessons here which still need to be taught. It's too easy to forget, or dismiss what came before. These events are sadly all too relevant even in the world today.
