  • 1:50 ........ I didn't think that I would tear up watching this video.

  • I'm from europe, Holland. I cross Eindhoven probably once a month. My passing's trough that town have never been the same ever since I saw the series and docu's.

    My feelings toward the freedom we enjoy have never been the same. The feeling you never thought about while rushing through life, freedom was just always there somehow. But I've learned from these man from easy company, that our freedom isn't as normal as we know it, people died for it, many people. Honor easy company, honor freedom!

  • I counted 4 that have passed on in this vid....nothing but honour for these men....And i want everyone to VOTE HERE to get major WINTERS the Medal of Honour.!!!!

  • Band of brothers is an inspiration to me to treat others better in my life......because all of you out there are my brothers.!!

  • R.I.P. Mr Richard Winter,Time to Stand Down.

  • most of these guys are dead now :(

  • not one dislike for good reason. R.I.P Major Winters

  • R.I.P you hero :(

  • I read the book long before I saw the movie. These men were TOUGH ! My heart weeps for them and what they went through for us. Thank you seems like such a small thing to say . We all need to say it many times .

  • As a full career British Army Soldier I want to say RIP Maj Winters, your duty is over, stand easy. Sad day indeed.

  • We must remember men like these as the greatest generation fades away.

    RIP Maj.Winters.

  • RIP sir... I wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for the bravery of men like yourself.

  • RIP RICHARD WINTERS

  • RIP Winters :(

  • RIP Winters.. this is one of the greatest and most emotional series of all time! 

  • Damnit... this f**king miniseries always makes me break down in tears. RIP Winters.

  • The eagle will always scream for our brothers!

    RIP Major... Currahee!

  • May you rest in peace Major.

    Thank you for your service!

  • He was a Soldier of the United States,

    Green Light and Blue Skies Major!

  • Why you gotta make me cry right now Dick

  • We, as Americans owe our way of life to these men. I would like to say thanks, but that would not be enough. Our great country owes a debt to you men that can never be paid. I pray for a time when wars will be no more, but more so I pray for a time when men who fight in war are honored as the true heroes they are. My generation owes a dept to you all that they will never be able to repay.

  • Nous ne devons jamais oubliez ses hommes grâce à eux nous sommes libres.

  • The best biographical war movie ever made in my opinion. It has a special place within my movies collection. These men are truly heroes!

  • GRACIAS A DIOS POR ESOS SOLDADOS QUE FUERON A LIBERAR ESOS CONTINENTES Y SOBRE TODO A LOS JUDIOS QUE ESTABAN SIENDO MASACRADOS QUE BENDICION QUE U.S.A LLEGO CON SUS SOLDADOS DIOS PERMITIO EL FIN DE HITLER Y A LOS AMERICANOS SER SUS SALVADORES¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

  • god bless all the civilians, families and children that died, in all wars, war is a piece of fookin shhhheite

  • R.I.P. Shifty Powers and Carwood Lipton :*(

  • god bless the past and present soilders

  • The men who fought in WWII are hero's each and everyone! They fought to oppress the tyranny Hitler wanted to lay upon the world. Today's soldier are said to not be fighting a noble cause, its for oil, profitteering etc. For any American to even hint at that belittles the lives lost and the ones who survived...For we did our duty as we were told!! War is War!! and War is hell!! For those who've not experinced it can't imagine what its like!!!

  • @VET636 Vet, I hate to say this, because I respect those men who fought in WW2 for a just cause. But what America is doing today is for one simple thing, you guys have tried to stamp your imperialism on the world (a Hamiltonian concept), and sadly your losing, slowly being drained of cash with corrupt pollies exploiting your tax payers money for their own benefit. G.W. Bush anyone. Corrupt as mate. 13 trillion in debt and rising.

  • It's the best thing i ever watched, it makes me cry every time, i can't imagine how it must be, i would pay thousands to just talk 1 time with one of the men.. (sorry i'am belgium)

  • Just thinking of the soldiers of the Easy company makes me cry. And how they saved the world! R.I.P to all of the soldiers that died for freedom.

  • Dont say that the military units today arnt "real soldiers", they are just as real as any soldier, just because they arnt fighting for freedom, doesnt make them nothing.

  • once I really was anti american, because of how cocky they were, and I'm british born, but my opinion changed after I metsome of my cousins in america, but before I even met some of my cousins I found out that my grandfather was a US marine in World war two, and I felt like shit for ages because I was being such an arsehole

  • These were the real soldiers, with big balls... In a real war... A real fight for freedom, not oil, not gold, not governments interests...freedom...

  • The Marines and Soldiers today are everything these guys were.

  • @BakusPT regardless of the reasons they are at war it makes no difference in the long run for what they are fighting for in the end is each other just like the men of easy company did.

  • that was suppose to be an answer to PliktaSmok :P

  • funny how plikta calls our country stupid but his country was so much of a coward during WWII they stayed neutral, no heroes ever came from sweden, except dolph lungren, and Rocky kicked his ass

  • after reading some of the anti American comments on this video im am amazed by the ignorance of people who think they know Americans i can understand if you do not approve of are government but americans are the most giving people on this planet yes we have are faults but we are a country of over 300 million people so of course there are gonna be idiots out there but dont even try to act like you know what we are all about

  • hey pikta smoke why dont you shut the fuck up america during ww2 was different then it is now, also yeah we fucked up really bad but no country has ever been flawless and we're a fairly new country

  • The dudes are heroes. But it's really hard for me to speak about heroes who comes from the United States. That country is to fucking stupid...

  • stop emberrase yourself.

    if there is such a thing as a necessary war. i think world war 2 was just that. usa showed the nazis that they wouldn't just stand back and watch while the nazis megalomania almost shattered europe and its people. and we(sweden) were cowards. i don't think joining the war would have been the answer, but we could at least denied Germany the iron support. they must have known what they used it for.. this video is really touching btw. p.s sorry for the bad english.

  • These men are real heroes! I got a lot of respect for them!

  • god bless you men i am an different era of war vet iraQ (twice) i have so much respect i can't help getting misty eyed when these guys talk...

    these guys are some real heros.... read major winters book ...it is a great read

  • Different era, or not, Iraq vets like yourself, aftermath0, deserve respect. Plenty of real heroes from that conflict.

  • well thanks i appreciate it

  • you are also a hero :)

  • well thanks

  • @aftermath0:

    ::SMOOCH::

  • @darkflower2

    right back at ya

  • my tears start dropping whenever i heard dick winters answering his grandchild question " are you a heroes in the war? No he said, but i serve in the company of heroes". he couldnt have said it better. That is why till this day, he was still well respected by the surviving members of easy company. dick winters is a man of honour!

  • i dont care what anyone says but even watching this makes me cry there are few men still alive who diserve the respect they do. when winters and his brothers were recomended the congresonal medal of honor they were declined i still cant belive that

  • Calv53 you are a complete idiot.

    You should read and learn history before you open your mouth and stick your ass in it.

  • grandpa, were you a hero in the war? grandpa said no. but i served in a company of heroes. that sums up the whole war

  • God Bless You Men!

    For your service and sacrifice we honour you!

    For your inspiration we Thank You!

  • Everytime I watch this I still get gusebumps.

    These men (and many others) are true heroes.

  • same here, i get goosebumps and tear up. my grandfather was in 101st, but he didnt make it.

  • Good men, the Allied soldiers of World War 2 are the real heroes.

  • they're also heroes of the german soldiers..

  • Thank you, brave people, for your service to this country and the world. Thank you all, warriors of yesterday and of today.

  • RIP Shifty. Thanks for everything you did. You will be missed.

  • Bill Guarnere Babe Heffron And Majoor Winters , Are Saying Real Beautifull Lines

    I Would Like To Thank All Allies Soldier For Bringing Ous Freedom , You Have Give Me The Biggest Gift A Men Could Wish

    Thank you all

  • bye shifty! people like you and your comrades never die, because you will hold at history and our memories.

    Thanks

  • God bless all these great heroes. The true heroes were the victors. Men like Dick Winters. They saved us. They saved the Free World. They saved the poor Jews in Germany. They won WW2. Noone can overpraise a man who wins for the United States of America and for GOD.

  • calv. That is not true. If you see the Band of Brothers series, it shows you that Easy Company liberated camps and even shared their own food with Jewish people. I can't imagine the others doing that.

  • well don't get me wrong though i do admire the american forces, but all trough the camps allied (not USSR) troop done that, i say not the Ussr cause they are also anti jewish.

  • calv. The English were also anti-Jewish. Churchill said many things against the Jews in his lifetime. Major Winters and his noble Easy Company was a shining light. They loved the Jewish people, and this is recognized by leading historian Thomas "Tom" Hanks in narrating his legendary war history series "Band of Brothers".

  • stalin was even worse of a man than hitler.

  • true, very true, responsible for the deaths of millions of innocents.

  • In God's loving hands....SHIFTY POWERS Thank you for my Freedom!!!

  • We don't call them the "greatest generation" casually.

    We "The Boomers" have failed our parents.

    To my deceased parents: please forgive me.

    We are the first generation of Americans to not to have exceed our forbear's selfless contributions, and It's been downhill ever since.

    The shame, is on us, our selfishness has consumed us.

  • RIP Darrell "Shifty" Powers

  • RIP Shifty Powers..

  • Only the dead have seen the end of war.

  • RIP Shifty

  • GOD bless you Shifty. Your reward is a fine place in heaven for sure! Bless your family and friends who will miss you so very much. Thanks for what you did for the world!!!

  • tears in my eyes when i see this. they still think after all these years that somebody else is the hero.god bless them all.

  • THANK YOU

  • If there is a Heaven, then these brave man and women will sit front row !!!!!!!

    Greetings from a man how wasn't but is because of what you did !!!

    I'm from The Netherlands, and proud to be.

  • Cpl. Darrell 'Shifty' Powers -- 0:49-0:59 -- passed away last week. No doubt he'll be greeted there in heaven by Lt. Lipton who passed away back in 2001. And the two of them will be waiting for the others.

  • btw. ask every fighting unit in ww2.... russians germans americans or british...they would say the same thing

  • i can remember my grandfather told me he killed an american soldier with his knife in the ardennes... he had bad dreams...

  • I salute all who had served as a Veteran of all American wars for their sacrifice for my homeland has given me life. Without those who fought and died in times of war, they shall be honored as heroes in my book and in the future books of many.

  • "Grandpa, were you a hero in the war?"

    "Grandpa said no........but I served in a company of Heroes..."

    I will never forget that quote...it makes me cry every time...

  • yes, me too!

  • I cry too at it. Just to think that was one group of men amongst millions of men that fought in that amazing war. It's incredible to think that one nation almost took over the world...

  • @Zeichef dam i love tghis series , but when i watch the old guys, my hat comes off to 'em, makesme cry every time

  • @Zeichef my words i total crying when he say it :( 

  • @Kahn2580 I do to..

  • it always makes me emotional to see old veterans trying to relay there stories of the war and they have to stop and fight back the tears in order to on!

    @Zeichef

  • @Zeichef hooah man... anyone who fights overseas, to all branches there is no such thing as a coward over there that word has no meaning... 19 Delta.. e-2 kohlhof out

  • the song at the end is a great song, makes me remember those who fought for our freedoms.

  • That quote makes me cry everytime I watch BoB..

  • Evey one dead or alive that servd in world war two. German SLodiers (Not ss) American Soldiers Brittish Soldiers russian soldiers and so on is heroes in my eyes!

  • Men of the last truly "good" fight the US ever fought.

    very touching series, hearthwarming stories from interesting folk that really helped the shape the fate of europe.

  • band of brothers is the best thing i have ever watched. its heartbreaking and inspiring. i have so much respect for every one of those men.

  • vert good point rob, especially dick winters

  • great men, all of them

  • Brung a Tear to my Eye, "I cherish the memory of a question my grandson asked me the other day... when he said, 'Grandpa, were you a hero in the war?'........ grandpa said "no"......... 'But I served in a company of heroes'."

  • "Well, you was hoping to stay alive thats all.."

  • bellamy sucks ahahaha

  • "I cherish the memory of a question my grandson asked me the other day... when he said, 'Grandpa, were you a hero in the war?'........ grandpa said no......... 'But I served in a company of heroes'."

    Bravo, sir. Bravo.

  • heros..no doubt about it.

  • heros

  • best video ever on youtube and the internet forever.

  • wonderfull vid, my dad was in the 101 and jumped in normandy. never spoke about it much. he is the reason i joined the military years ago

  • You beautiful beautiful gentlemen. I hope for the rest of eternity you are at peace and in paradise. My heroes.

  • In 2006 & 2007 I served with the Third Army Provost Marshals Office Operation Iraqi Freedom Camp Arifjan. In my position I did not engage in enemy combat but saw the aftermath while in the Contaminated Vehicle Lots and Combat Hospitals of this conflict. the level of losses greatly moved me. I was overwhelmed by the bravery and commitment of the young people (I at 51 was not so young). I saw this before I went but now seeing it again is so differant and more emotional.

  • cpt shifty powers is my grandpa

  • if you're being truthful, you're a hell of a lucky boy

  • God bless all those men.

  • With joining the war, the United States of America helped a lot to bring an end to the insane leadership Germany had to suffer under at this time. One day, I will visit the memorials in Normandy to honour all the men from all the involved countries.

    Rest in peace, you men of the Easy Company.

    Greetings from a German.

  • There is a certain amount of insanity in the leadership of any nation. Heroes? Well heroes are what you send to fight battles they did not start.

  • The Greatest Generation, the likes of which will probably never be seen again.

  • junction

    They were great men and there still are great men if you think not spend a day at Arlington and watch a couple of funerals and listen to some stories.

  • There will never be another civilian or military man like Dick Winters. All of his decorations and accomplishments and all he cares about were his men.

  • That last part when winter's talk's about that letter alway's choke's me up.

  • i agree, these men are the reason why i want to join the 82nd, i wanted to join the 101st but they are no longer paratroopers, btw does anyone know how to contact any of the surviving members of easy company???????????

  • loopes

    I know that Wild Bill had a website and I think if you google some of the others they have places to be e-mailed. They are old now and deserve what ever peace they have, but I guess a thank you would never be turned away and would be appreciated.

  • i admire every single man that fought in that war n winters, guarnere, lipton n toye are my heroes. RIP Lipton...

  • RIP Lt. Lipton.

    Wild Bill and Babe Heffron do tours of places where they fought - its pretty cool to just hear about their lives and just get a different view of what Europe was like 64 years ago. Definitely go if you get the chance.

  • Thank you for sharing this.

  • Thank you for sharing this.

  • This video, I would imagine, is from 2001. Since it was filmed Lipton has died, not sure about any others. Very powerful.

  • When did lipton die? I thought he was still with us. I do know John MArtin has died the series, and Bull Randelman has also. Im not to sure of the others

  • December 16th 2004, ironically it was this date in 1944 the germans started there Ardennes offensive, by the end of this battle lip was suffering with neumoania and he died suffering fro emphasimia.

  • I am sorry for my english is not very good. My grandpa fought in the Spanish civil war just before the II world war started and all i can say is that these men dont lie, real men and real emotion, ans that's all. Regards from Spain

  • Dick Winters is my hero and so are Compton,Marlarkey, Toye and Guarnere

  • Gotta love these guys. Thats about the only thing that sends a shiver up my spine... respect!

  • what year were these interviews given?

  • Bill didn't die.

    He just got his leg blown off, and taken back to the states with Joe Toye.

  • absolute heroes.

  • Wait a sec , in the DVD collection it says Bill Guarnere got his leg blown off and died?..guess i was wrong

  • It never said that actully

  • he didn't die, he lost a leg.

    but lived

  • Good god that is America right there.

  • forgottenhonor dot salute brave men indeed never forget

  • How many members of the easy company survived at the end?

  • i think they are heroes i feel bad for them tho they went through hell and back watching their friends die right next to them i respecet these men a lot

  • omg "were u a hero in the war- no but i served in a company of heroes " best answer ever *proud*

  • When I see this kind of things it makes me cry...Because this guys were Brave soldiers brave mans!!

  • God Bless this Guys...

  • These are the best Humans who ever lived, Bless them... May theyre Memory last forever.. *salute*

  • god bless the men of easy compony

  • Dick winters you were a hero you fought so we can live free today and you sacrificed your life.

  • he's still aliive....

  • Thanks too all the heroes who was fighting in the war, so wee can live free today.

  • It is impossible to thank or praise these men enough. I do not believe the current generations would have the bravery and courage that these ordinary young men found. I am English and have visited some of the military grave sights in France. It mindblowingly sad and extremely humbling to contemplate their sacrifice, on our behalf!

  • Thank to save the world the band of the brother they are heroes.

  • "From this day until the ending of the world.....we in it shall be remembered....we few...we happy few..we band of brothers and he who sheds his blood for me shall be my brother."-William Shakespears Henry V

  • It saddens me to think how easy people forget what every soldier in WW1 & WW2 did for us. Some schools don't even teach the history of these conflicts so how can the youth of today be expected to rememeber what they owe. A celebrity dies and we have programmes, 2 min silences and a national outpouring of grief. For the 19 or so million allied soldiers that died in these 2 wars we have a min silence once a year.

  • I, being a kid, agree with you. I think they could do a lot more to teach us about what happend in the war. I for one, take a few minutes out of every morning to remember them. and Truthfully Band of Brothers, and these interviews are the only things that can really make me imagine how it was, and what they went through.

  • I agree with you, we all owe these men our very freedom, the public is being discrete about this, the public should teach the next generation about the great sacrifice paid for our freedom, our freedom was paid in blood, tears, sweat and toil. 2min silences are not enough. Words cannot describe the sacrifice these ordinary men made in an extraordinary war. The best thing to do is to teach generation after generation about these ordinary men with extraordinary courage and bravery.

  • my uncle fought in ww2 and i dont think many of you will believe me but he fought at carentan and lost his life trying to save his comrade i never met him but im sure he was a good soldier ='[

  • Salute to them!

  • yes, sir!

  • Henrry the V whas talking to his men:from this day to the ending of the world.We and it shall be rememberd.We lucky few.We band of brothers for he today that sheds his blood with me shall be my brother band of brothers<3

  • beautifull lyrics. Best tv show/movie ever created, and its based on the true story

  • Very true comments there. But lets not forget Why these particular men died? Murdering Nazi bastards is the real reason. These guys were fighting to rid the world of those bastards, whereas the nazis were fighting for their race and their ideaology ( Spelling ? )

  • Wise up you idiot. These men are heros. They gave their tomorrow so that we could have our today. They never got to feel what life was like without war. The fact is that they were fighting for a just cause. These men are heros, don't try to belittle what they did.

    For they shall not grow old,

    As we who are left grow old.

    Age shall not weary them

    Nor the years condemn.

    But at the going down of the sun

    And in the morning

    We will remember them.

    RIP - Forever Young

  • u go fight
