[Soulforge00]

Don't forget Shifty!

[aekdbbop]

@Soulforge00 my aunt was good friends with Shifty and his wife.. pretty cool

[northalbanylodge]

if speirs was a real guy instead of a character i would walk acrous the earth find where he would live and shake his hand telling him he had the bigest balls i have ever seen

[hmcwheeler]

@northalbanylodge Speirs is a real person all this is true its based on the book. all of this is a true story

[northalbanylodge]

@hmcwheeler oh i knew it might have been

[berserker276]

@northalbanylodge That's just about the weirdest thing you could ever say to a guy lol.

[StyrbjornStarke]

Why are the germans saying fire in english

[livingjokessuck]

@StyrbjornStarke The translation 'Feuer' sounds almost identical to the English word.

Dick Winters... the best ever

[dkseaverns1]

That Mother Fucker Speirs doesn't even fucking Blink!!! Just does as he's told like any fucking good Solider!

[berserker276]

@dkseaverns1 Imagine having him as your platoon leader..

[leesamuel100]

He's not a lieutenant colonel, he's a lieutenant. Speirs is a platoon commander (a Lieutenant's billet), when he assumes command of Easy he's a company commander (a Captain's billet). A lieutenant colonel commands a full battalion.

@leesamuel100 Speirs stayed in the army and retired at Lieutenant Colonel, I think that what the creator of the video was trying to do was to honor his final rank.

[dkseaverns1]

@leesamuel100 He was later promoted to his final rank in the Army as a Lt. Col. FYI!

[expresso83]

My favorite scene from Band of Brothers. Speirs was awesome, and Winters had me going for a second when I thought he was going to go back into battle, lol

[WVUer21]

LTC Speirs is the ultimate definition of badass.

[TheBobby1bobby1]

if Winters or Speirs weren't here in this company i don't were Easy would be today

[rockappella85]

FENTON !!!!! FENTON!!!! OH JESUS CHRIST !!!

[MrSpadeofAce]

speirs a real legend

[MrMilesjones]

at my apt when ever someone messed up or something went wrong we would shout "SPEIRS!!!! get yourself over here"

[dakr2]

Best series ever.

[WVUer21]

@dakr2 Without a doubt. Still the best thing on TV ever made.

[asispilot]

in this episode hes a 1st luetinant

[dmesz311]

I thought speirs was a captain not a LTC

[DrunkenHoboAdverts]

@dmesz311 he retired a LtCol he was promoted to captain, fought in korea and then was promoted to Governor of Spandau Prison (where Nazi war criminals were held)

[spareaxe]

Holy shit!!! Speirs .....that man!!

[TheRitchardgaleHater]

Did the german just shout "Fire" in an english accent? 1:40

[nhlpens]

@TheRitchardgaleHater

No, he said "Fire" in his own language, just sounds the same.

[JefferstChmilst]

@nhlpens Yup. That would be "Feuer."
