  • Great stuff. A very impressive and well made program, and this is a well made photo collection to go with it. Big fan. Thanks.

  • Amazing work! Wish men like these still existed ;)

    G Uncle died in the Battle of the Bulge at the age of 20. Pfc. Petty was in the 78th Division of General Alexander M. Patch's First Army which bore the brunt of the powerful German drive which blasted breaches in Patch's Siegfried Line defenses. He

  • does a wild bear crap in the woods son?

  • i looked it up and for all that i could fing only 6 or 7 of these men are still alive :'( RIP to you all

  • Amazing how David Schwimmer resembles Herbert Sobel!

  • I started to watch Band of Brothers a few days ago and it is such a wonderful serie. The best WWII serie ever. No doubt about it

  • if you like band of brothers ull like the band of brothers that dick winters wrote, its more or less the same as the series but goes into more detail on what the series missed out or couldnt as much because they had a budget, really good read.

  • A job well done and a fitting tribute.

  • gone but not forgotten it just shows how a group of men with grit can overcome fear and bond with each other...more of these true accounts of ww2 should come to light..the band of brothers is and always will be a glowing tribute to these brave lads who are gone but will never be forgotten....r.i.p..

  • Very sad video but i love band of brothers i have all movies!

  • Thank you for posting this. Thank you very much.

    

  • sorry...i pad malfunction..scott grimes is a nice guy

  • @lafontaine13 Scott Grimes makes brilliant music also, and he follows me on twitter #happy

  • good stuff...very nice video. i met scott grimes this past year, he is ver pleasant fe

  • wow, amazing- they clearly went into alot of work to ensure the actors looked exactly the same as the real people

  • Guys i really appreciate the comments you give on my video's but please don't say anything negative in it. About thumbs down or something like that. Let's keep it Peacefully. Negative comments will be deleted.

  • A simple remembrance in honor of these heroes. They die with a faithful heart to serve, with dignity and courage.

  • Guarnere looks just like the old real Guarnere

  • Doc Roe was my favorite story line in the series.

  • so good to watch this feeling great to watch a real heroes in here and i wish i could be there with them to fight in WW II......!

  • Nice video: the casting directors did a great job in this series.

  • Ezra!!!

  • The real Sgt. Randleman looks exactly the same as the fake Cobb (Craig Heaney)

  • @DoodRanchGD In this picture he does indeed. But in other pictures I've seen from him, He does'nt

  • I have a random question,in episode 2,Lt. Meehan died correct? [we got 2 number 7 discs in our set so if he was alive in 3 and 4 i have no clue :P ]

  • @Xxnoahx745xX Yes, his plane went down on D-Day ....(C-47)

  • I typed in Norm Macdonald women drivers and I found this video?!? Good video though, those men were real heroes, and Spielberg and Hanks did a good job of bringing their stories across in that show

  • You did a fine job putting that video together that's why i favored it!

  • You did a awesome job putting this together!

  • Good work mate, thank you very much, I will alays respect for this soldiers.

  • True heroes

  • Respect pour ces hommes qui sont venus se battrent en france et malheureusement pour certains y mourir , mais ce ne fût pas en vain. La liberté pour l'europe et pour le monde devait en passer par là.....Mais quel courage en étant loin de son pays........

  • @TheMacahan42 Malheureusement, si ces imbéciles de français avaient réagi tout de suite, la guerre n'aurait jamais pris de telles proportions. Pour moi les français sont complices par leur inaction. Si tu es français, je ne dis pas ca contre toi, et ne le prend pas mal. Mais les allemands eux mêmes disaient qu'ils ont continué parce que les français ne bronchaient pas.

  • They was the good goyim and we germans was the baaad goyim in this time ! This brave goys have give us a really good kick in the teeth and now only waf waf waf come out of the german mouth !!

  • Small mistake on Norman Dike's pic. That's Smokey Smith, VC (Victoria Cross). Served with the Seaforth Highlanders. Recieved his VC for bravery in Italy.

  • The guy who played Martin should have played cobb

  • Damien lewis did a good american accent and dont u think that the real Buck Compton looks like the actor fr Harry Welsh

  • In only a couple of years, all of the men on easy will be dead. sad.

  • i thought the pic of winters was damien lewis. they look so much alike

  • very nice,

  • Very sad, the only survivors now are malarkey, tipper, christensten, o'keefe, and a few others. I've read band if brothers 2 times and seen the miniseries 9 times

  • The last person died from this a couple of months ago winters

  • they look just like em crazyy good casting

  • This was great. The match of actor to role was very well done... but if you look at the this again... You can see the real soldiers look so much more physically fit for the most part... than the actor playing their part. The soldiers have the faces of young athletes... toned... the actor... look like... well like actors... softer... thinner.

    IMDB ranks movies... Their top movie is probably The Godfather with a 9.2. Band of Brothers is also ranked... it gets a 9.6. I agree!!!!

  • Exceptional video. Thank you for your efforts in compiling; the casting director of this project did an outstanding job at matching physical characteristics of actual soldiers to the actors.

  • guys doesnt the real bull randleman look alot like the actor of roy cobb??

  • @jumperdude8108

    i thought the same thing!!

  • @jumperdude8108 Thats what i said!!

  • The photo of Norman Dyke is actually "Smokey" Smith, Canadian Victoria Cross medal Recipient. Note the Argylle Glengarry with dicing and the Argylle cap badge.

    Shame on you

  • @hmcsstar1

    Appologies Alvin Smith V.C was in the Seaforth Highlanders of canada.

  • the song is awesome!

  • "I cherish the memories 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...' Maj. Richard Winters, quoting Mike Rainer.

  • @ReggiesReply Don't you mean Mike Ranney?

  • @Distancian: Yes, of course, you're right. Thank you for the videos, all of them. I have read enough military history, including "Forgotten Soldier" by Guy Sajer, to know there were brave, true, selfless men and warriors on all fronts. Thanks again... ~S~

  • @ReggiesReply fail 

  • thanks for this clip.

  • watch BoB everyday, can't help it. Will be the best story / movie I have seen in my entire life!

    R.I.P Easy

  • Brilliantly done! Thank you for assembling and posting this. The bravery of these men is something that most of us cannot comprehend. In my mind, without a doubt, the greatest generation ever. The world owes a debt of gratitude to these men and all who have served and fought ....in fact, freedom and our very way of life is due to them. Maj Winters past away recently. My utmost admiration to you sir. Kudos also to Hanks and Spielberg for creating the series and doing it correctly.

  • 6 losers cant recognize heros

  • major winters and lip and the medic where my favrite ppl R.I.P. THT movie is the best i have it on dvd i love it

  • @xXARMYxUSASXx wat is THT

  • great job......

  • The movie is 'Band of Brothers' , and i wondered where did you get all these pics of the real soldiers?

  • @mngoose727 Google gave me a lot of pictures, and i once found a site were every soldier of the 101st airborne was portraited on a photo(if they had a photo) So those site's helped me a lot

  • @Distancian

    can you please share url so i can help to find more?

  • thank you. brilliiant if not sad. well done

  • Very moving, but was this a movie that was made? I didn't understand the actor part. And if so, what movie?

    dlsgps120@yahoo.com

  • @homeyjoe9 no its a really awesome seies called Band Of Brothers you should really watch it

  • Comment removed

  • Great job on this. This is the first actor/veteran pictures that I've seen. Helps alot with viewing the dvd.

  • bellissimo video grazie davvero....... !!!!!

  • Thank you sooooo much for making this video! I study ALOT of WWII paratroopers and have watched BoB. I thouroghly enjoyed this. Im overwhelmed with words after seeing this. thanks again! btw, 6 people have no idea how to appreciate history :)

  • you will always tearful to think what all heroes have had to endure .... hope they have it good where it is .., I admire everyone who joined in the war! but still you're sorry for them ... REST IN PEACE FOR ALL THE FUTURE!

  • dick winters was a war hero yes but so were all of the UK's And US soldiers that helped fight for us and what we have today heres to them

    R.I.P our hearts go out to all the men of the US Army And Definitely Easy Company

  • THATS WAS AL HEROS

  • R.I.P. Major Winters..If anybody deserved the Medal of Honor it was you..You were a Soldiers Soldier..

  • @911puglover If I'm not mistaken, wasn't there kind of a thing that if someone was awarded the medal of honor, they're transferred out of combat duty?

    Regardless, Winters deserved it, but taking him out of the field where he could do the most good would have been a greater mistake than the iniquity between a medal of honor and a DSC.

  • @Bitemis It depends. John Basilone won the Medal Of Honor, went back home, but decided he wasn't ready to stop fighting, so he had himself transferred back to combat duty. He was sent to Iwo Jima, where he later died from wounds sustained in combat.

  • He had been suffering from parkinson's disease, right?

  • @Albert7980 yeah ):

  • 1:07 ... I would freak out if I were Dukeman

  • R.I.P. Dick Winters.

  • R.I.P. Dick Winters who deserved the Medal Of Honor.

  • Sorry for sending it three times..

  • A hero died today.. R.I.P. Dick Winters.

  • @Dipsaus57 it was January 2nd, his funeral was on the 8th. but it was Major Winters' wish that his death be announced after his funeral

  • A Hero died today.. R.I.P. Dick Winters.

  • @Dipsaus57 Your right but it's not today but January 2nd

  • @Distancian thats kind of sad cuz thats my birthday

  • R.I.P Dick Winters. See you in heaven

  • Unbelievably eerie, as I just finished watching the entire mini-series and this morning read of Dick Winters passing. To those of Company E, 506 PIR; I bow my head.

  • @OldDelTone

    My husband and I just got done 3 days ago watching BoB series as well and were actually going to plan a trip to go meet Mr. Winters. We were going to use our 1 year anniversary money to do so. God has a plan for everything :)

  • Wish my great great uncle Cleveland Petty was in there.

  • Hey you forgot my great uncle Cleveland Petty :(

  • What about Joe Liebgott???

  • @MrImk123

    Joe is at 2:31 Enjoy! :)

  • wow this is awsum! thanks mate

  • very good

  • Delete that apology. you did a great job!!!

  • 98 101 airborndivision irak!!

  • @dragonquest20 Thank you for your service! Airborne all the way!! My brother was with the 501st PIR..

  • Next year I am visiting again, this time with my American girlfriend, we are taking a 1942 Ford Script GPW.

  • As a British chap who has watched Band of brothers, whose grandfathers were veterans of WW2, this is a lovely tribute you have made. I have visited Normandy twice, once on the 60th aniversary and once on the 65th aniversary, i have met many veterans of all nationalities. I found it a very humbling experience. On both occaisions i took my 1944 WW2 Leyland Hippo GS truck, which is a British army 10 ton vehicle that actually landed on Gold beach on D-Day+2.

  • thank you very much for that video

  • @Rorys30 With respect but is Afghanistan occupied by evil empire?

  • Damien Lewis actually looks like Dick Winters.. He played a great role in Band of Brothers. went out and bought the DvD's, was so epic.

  • and post data the music is great i would like some battle scence with 5 sinfoni

  • hey somebody knows if winters is still alive i will hate to listen he is dead

  • @GenGeogeSPatton he is still alive

  • @MsLollipop005 Moose Heyliger isnt alive anymore. He died in 2001, He was the first to disease after the B.o.b premiere

  • @Distancian no i meant that dick winters is still alive. i was answering his earlier question lol

  • Great video!!!!!!

  • not john martin

  • Yes, Hoobler did die from the accidental discharge of the gun he had in his pocket. The bullet severed the main artery in his leg and he bled to death.

  • This film has been so amazing . My thanks to all that served . Thank you for all that were responsible on making it so accurate as you can with stories from that of the past. It is just what this country needed. Something that can be seen over and over again for future children to learn from. What it really cost this country to keep its freedom strong. Also to open other peoples eyes what it takes. I can't say thank you enough...

  • beutiful! i'm crying!

  • This is a very moving tribute. Thank you for putting this together. I could only wish that there were enough time, and film of ALL of the soldiers that made our lives just a bit easier.

  • SPOILER FOR PEOPLE THAT HAVENT SEEN STOP READING NOW

    Did actually hoobler accidently shoot himself and die??

  • I have the collectors edition of the Band of Brothers DVD pack <3

    David Webster is my favorite character tough.

  • fox hole norman lol

  • @Distancian well sorry you dont to get all tense with me and i did watch the whole video

  • Hey Thanks for posting. Almost all Easy man are here.

  • Comment removed

  • Thanks for your photographs that make the link between the men of Easy and the actors that played them. I went to Upottery ( more accurately Smeatharpe ) airfield to see where most of Easy left England for the drop into Normandy. It's still there and is used for a variety of events. Quite moving to see the small memorial crosses the men that the village still maintains.

  • awesome video...... good material to know thats heroes!!

  • /Salute the man of Easy Company!

  • awsome ... these are the real celebrities of the 2nd WW

  • Thanks all of you,to fight against the evil fanatism!

  • What happen with First Lieutenant Thomas A. Peacock? When he died?

  • omg i was trying to match all these guys up, thanks for the vid helped alot

  • God bless these heroes.

  • nice video

  • These men of glory who lived past yesterday will live on in our hearts. For the price of freedom wouldn't be without them. May God Always be with them and also to Shifty Powers, R.I.P.

  • These men of glory who lived yesterday will lived forever in our hearts. The price for freedom could never have been without them.

  • TY 4 posting this!!

  • The actor who played Blithe looks like the real Webster.

  • did the bull really smoke a cigar? and i meet a few of the vets

  • @Rorys30

    first industrialized country in the world.. the windmills, first stock exchange in the world. 1700.. Holland was what US is today. Only country that could trade with Japan for 300years.. no other country could. VOC.. EU initiative is also from Holland. Holland kicked out spain first in the 80years of war.

  • Thank you for doing this. It's awesome. If you're going to update it, I humbly suggest a way to make it even better. You could include a picture of the "present day" (or 2001) members of E Company along with the old pics and the actors. My wife and I just watched B.O.B. for the first time and are having a heck of a time matching the actual they interviewed guys with who played them. In other words, when you can, go from old photo to actor to present day "old guy".

  • Thats a good idea. I watched Band of brothers 13 times in the past year. also watch my other videos. Next time when i have some spare time i will make one. Make sure to subscribe so you wont miss it ;)

  • @GoofmanCA hey if you want to see some of the vets buy the box set on hbo.com they have a specia disk which has some of the vets telling about some experiences that wernt told in series

  • @killor2234 My wife and her sister hosted the HBO group sent by Tom Hanks to interview Popeye. Unfortunately, I had to work. The interview with Popeye is true to form for his life and mannerisms. He was truly a friend with me, as well as being my father in law.

  • Why is that stupid? Afghanistan needs to learn to control there own country, how many country's are there right now including holland?

  • @Rorys30

    Holland is not boring! Yes, our land is not as the GREAT USA. But it's a good country!

  • @Thomhonor It must be awesome on a holiday and stuff because its different from home. thats also why we think america is the land of dreams. But you gotta know Holland is really boring to life ! I want to move to Australia of America. I like LA Florida, Melbourne or Brisbane. Those are the things i see my future life.

  • Holland is the best dam country in the world....... and im British!

  • @danfobia89 Why is Holland your favorite im from Holland and i dont like it so much here, Australia is my big love <3

  • @Distancian im from australia and i think its great

  • @Distancian great video thankyou

  • @Rorys30 Im from holland to, Wish i lived in LA FLO or in Australia MELB. Or Bris

  • R.I.P Bull

  • Thanks for putting that together. My father was Fredrick "Moose" Heyliger.

  • did he survive the friendly fire?

  • @MrHumbletree holy shit thats fucking crazy man, too bad he did not do much. He probably would have done a great job.
