these were real men, all i can say is that i wish i was there with them, when fighting in a war was actually to protect the people of the world, not some CEO of an oil company's bank account.
My great-grandfather fought as a Royal Hungarian Army on the Eastern Front! Don-bend. Since then we have not received any news of him since then disappeared as a registration. Glory to the heroes!
great men fighting for a government that thinks they are expendable. they fight trying to protect us, and our government uses them. shame shame, god bless the vets
My grandpa served in WW2 and this opening brought him to tears, I thought I did something wrong but he told me that he said "I am just remembering those who I served with, this title was accurate everyone who served together was a brother"
The Greatest Generation. The Greatest People. The Greatest Age of Our Proud Nation. These were our Glory Years, when we showed the world we have the Brotherhood and Courage to stand up to Anyone that threatens our Way of Life. God Bless ALL Past, Present, and Future Servicemen and Women.
Didn't get a chance this year, as TNT showed them all in the weeks leading up to December, so I watched them then. I listen to the theme music instead.
I always made it a point to always watch Band of Brothers from start to finish over the Christmas and New Year period. It's my form of rememberance. Beats the ass off The Snowman or Ben Hur!
@thokih1 yes, i do have to agree, and now that I have a 1944 Steel Pot helmet, I feel almost like I'm on a battefield everytime I wear it... My great-grandfather fought in WWII, and I miss him deeply, so I watched Band of Brothers, and now I'm hooked
This war never needed to start. It was a war that could have been prevented and the millions who served would live on. But the nazis just had to follow hitler. We won the war but i dont think it should of happened. If it diden't my grandfather would still be with me. R.I.P Major A. Matthew Colopy i love you and miss you dearly.
This series is the greatest miniseries ever filmed. So realistic, yet so much depth. Anytime a character was killed you felt as if it was a friend of yours in real life because you thought you knew them so well. Really is the best thing ever put on TV.
@kevan Well in the movie Winters (real man) came on and talked in one of the biographys. So he's not your great great great great great great grandpa or whatever.
as the years and years go bye fewer and fewer stand,and soon none will stand at all people will ask "why are thay telling us all this". and as the years go bye i somtimes ask myself " what was it all for?"
I hope everyone will visit the Easy Company website...it has announcements of who has passed and who is still surviving.
As for the rest...I suppose America will always produce the Citizen Soldier...but I have to say, as Tom Hanks so often has said...this was the generation that saved the world. I am always awed at their fortitude...I am grateful.
the theme of a true hero isn't what anyone hears in movies, the theme of a true hero is the sound of gunfire and the cries of other men, they hear that and without thinking go to see what they can do to save someone, but the ultimate theme of a hero is the trumpet blaring Taps and the 21gun salute as a hero is lowered into the ground
It's Veterans days. I thank all of our brave U.S. armed forces who died giving their life for their freedom and for our country. War is evil but sometimes necessary. What if the Japanese and the Nazis attacked and invaded you, what would you do? Sit back in peace or war? I answer that war is the solution to the problem. Without war, we would be speaking under Nazi rule. Without war, we won't have computers. Without war, we would be living under a Russian communist system.
@Hperman09 But, without war those events probably wouldn't have happened. For example, World War 2 started because Hitler was enraged at the consequences of World War 1. World War 1 started because the Triple Entente and Triple Alliance systems failed to prevent war. Without war, the Triple Entente/Alliance would not have been needed and WW1 would have been avoided. Though I must agree with you on war is sometimes necessary.....but only sometimes.
@ChumbaWumbaStudios War is not always the answer to the problem. Diplomacy come first then when other side started it for no reason...war not always the answer and it's plain wrong. For the other side, when all diplomacy fails, then war sometimes had to be an answer because you cannot convince the evil to back down and stop.
"Speak softly and carry a big stick" - Theodore Roosevelt.
But the problem like other wars are that they are fought for selfish reasons. We were supporting nazi germany for business and only went against them when we would lose business
The british were constantly asking for help, and all we could say was "hey..send us your navy to be shared between us and Canada. Good luck with Germany"
@darksergent YEAH THANKS USA GOD serously we did all the work whale u just fough japan out of revenge on purl harbor us canadians do it all and u do nothin AND U GET ALL THE ****in CREDIT
@CAMESTES The only war where america helped ONLY for war was world war II indeed, but all the rest of the wars they have been in. Are about money or power and they use religion of other countries so the people think its about peace.. ahh well
First of all, Nazis never attacked USA. Nazis attacked Soviet Union. and it was the Soviets who sacrafised 20 million people to defeat the Germans. Americans came at the end of the war to help the British and French.. So instead of giving credits to the Russians who destroyed 85% of the German army! YOU DARE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE RUSSIAN SYSTEM! YOU IGNORANT BRAT.. GO TO HELL
@MaskedTehGamer I think when he was talking about the Russians, he meant the Cold War. Obviously the Russians did a lot for us in WWII, but also realize quite a few Americans died (although, of course, Russia got a hell of a lot more casualties).
It doesn't matter that the Soviets outproduced the Germans in aircraft numbers (which wasn't by much, and which the Soviets held a production lead from 1938, not 1942), it was the disposition of the German forces that mattered. By far, the Germans had the large majority of their air force aimed at the western allies. This is a documented fact. The Luftwaffe was also destroyed in large part by the west.
85% of the whole German Wehrmacht was destroyed in the East. most SS men who were very well trained fought in the EAST because Soviets were more greater enemy to NAZIS. Bolsheviks were their main enemy even hitler said so. They offered peace to Britain but British refused. so they had to send their small forces to the WEST. in fact during D-day only 10,000 germans were in Normandy maybe even less.
I think you need to do a bit more studying. Wehrmacht refers to the entire German military. 85% of the HEER was in the east (and only in the pre-D-Day times) - not 85% of the Wehrmacht. As early as mid 1943, fully 80% of the Luftwaffe and virtually all of the Kriegsmarine was pointed at the west.
It also doesn't matter who was the greater enemy since the Germans had to protect their interior lines. Both east and west needed to be managed.
God bless every last great soldier we had and now have I say thank you for all your hard work and commitment may I join you in the field of battle in four years.

Band Of Brothers is soooo much better then The Pacific.
The Pacific is good but it doesn't have the same sense of brotherhood or sadness. The war in Europe was men putting their lives on the line to save the world from a mad man. The Pacific was more like payback
Not sure I would say BoB 'soooo much better then The Pacific'. I've read both Sledge's and Lucky's books and I've also read BoB by Ambrose. The thing I took away from reading all that was that the ETO and PTO were so different that PTO might as well been on a different planet. I don't think guys in the ETO lived 24/7, 365 days year with diarrhea, dysentery, exotic skin infections, etc... I thought The Pacific really captured the tre essence of 'war is hell' than say BOB
@DRtacosalad24 No, the pacific was also playing a huge part in saving the world from the forces of Japan! Do you know how many contries Japan had occupied? Have they therated the people in those occupied contries? Cause I think if you did you would think differently about the pacific campian!
The most epic mini-series in the history of anything WWII related, on HBO before or since, and in the history of Television itself. This song is even epic. God, I love this show and these men.
I breaks my heart to see all these men die...The stories they are taking with them. The bond they had with each other...These men were the strongest growing up in the depression and fighting for there country. Theses are true men!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@tfmairsoft London Metropolitan orchestra and Michael Kamen. Just tell the teacher who they are and I'am sure he will get the music to you guys in some way.
Every time I hear this I email the navy, air force, and the marines, I email them how I am thankful that they may die for our country so we can be free. But when people say we work harder than the army because we pay taxes work our asses off all day, it pisses me off... These people, These marines, These band of brothers are the reason we are here, these marines had sacrificed their safety for our freedom. We, we people our everyday lives, will never know the true feeling of freedom, they
My grandson said to me the other day 'Grandpa, were you a hero in the war?'... Grandpa said 'No. But he served with a company of heroes.' - Major Dick Winters.
@snowflakeFactory i wish i couldve met those heroes and just stand in front of them and Salute them like a soldier wuld for a captain or a Major and give them the respect they need.
Best hand picked men ever to have served in United States Army. God bless all of the men and women who gave their lives for the people of the United States, Europe, and Africa. And may god know it is a sad day when the last WWII veteran is gone.
@KillgoreES88 Just best to not think about it. Better to get to know them (if you know any, I'm meeting one soon lol) and appreciate what they've done and tell them that while not everyone always seems to care, that at least you do. Sorry if that doesn't make any sense.
@berserker276 Oh yes, i've talked to many WWII veterans from bth the U.S. and Germany including my grandfather, a former WWII U.S. NORAD intelligence operator, and my great grandfather, a former WWII U.S. M4A3 Sherman commander that went at it in Normandy. Both survived. That are some of the greatest people you can meet.
His name is Amos "Buck" Taylor. But I am not sure bout the rank. As of August 25, only 34 veterans of E company remain. Some of the notable people are Frank Perconte, Wild Bill Guarnere, Don Malarkey, Buck Compton and Babe Heffron. Even the guy who is badly injured from 1:52 to 1:56 whose name was Edward Tipper or something like that is still alive.
"In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends." - Martin Luther King Jr. (1929-1968). "There's no honorable way to kill, no gentle way to destroy. There is nothing good in war. Except its ending." - Abraham Lincoln.
I still remember the first time I was watching this series... i was only seven XD But it gave me great inspiration to be a soldier. But looks like, things changed... But I will never forget my once beloved dream as a soldier. Anyways, I wish all those who died in WWII Be it Allied or Axis rest in peace. And those who died after or are still alive, goof job and congratulations... But from what I heard, another E Company trooper died on August 25 :(
such brilliant vibrant characters, fought and died for you, and all you can do is turn them in to statics for your youtube rants. just stfu, you dont understand how disrespectful some of you are.
@Hikarilover123 LOL your very well educated (sarcasm). The Russians managed to completely destroy Hitler's army and penetrate the weakened Eastern front even though they managed to accumulate heavy losses, much greater than Germany, US, France, Britain etc. Without them, the war would have taken a very different path. Had Hitler occupied Russia he would have gotten more Lebensraum, something Adolf wanted for a really long time. That was one of his main political goals as a leader.
I LOVE THIS TV SHOW! im 14 and i adore it! XD ive watched them all like twice going on to the third time now. the opening title i love! my favourite character is Maj Richard (dick) Winters who is played by Damian Lewis. he plays him really well! rip the real major :) i feel like crying all the time i see the title opening. i just love it! love it!!!! XD
@dhfhrfbvtjkh There are good wars and bad wars. People were proud back then because that was a good war. That was a war everybody should fight, for the right reasons. Now you guys (or the politicians) dont even need a reason to invade other countries and send the poor boys to death... nothing to be proud of ...
People back then were proud of the united states now in the modern day its pathetic and full of rape and stuff what i would do just to have been born in the late 1920s
I think ever educated man believes in Nazis. Believing they didn't exist would cultivate ignorance.
Regardless, Nazis were soldiers too; in fact, a good portion of them were just trying to defend their country. Hitler rose to power in a promising a country in destitute after WWI a new birth in a rich, modern world. Understanding of the entire world back then was much more limited than now a days. I'm sure you'd of done the same. It'd be better to say the dislikes are unpatriotic.
@biodude5231 Most of Hitlers army had no idea about the deathcamps at all only the SS did and those "special" few are the ones who are to blame not the people who died their country
I Salute the soldiers that fought in WW2. Anybody know a ww2 veteran plz tell me. i wuld love to talk to someone that fought in that war. Thank You. I love this movie
This year, in marching band, this is our warmup for Brassline. Playing this song makes me feel absolutely amazing, I love honoring our troops with the great music of Band of Brothers. I am sure as heck, proud to be an american. Spread it through words, or music, or art. Just spread it.
Thank you brave american soldiers for sacrificing your lives for all of us.Although I may not be full American,I thank the Americans for helping not only America,but to other countries.
GOD bless all the allied souls that died in world war two. In all wars as well. War is a bitch and we must respect those people that died for us, because they are the reason we are here today. Thank you.
Thank you for Czechoslovaks us! Thank you for what you've done! Have recognized my biggest! Especially on the Bastogne.goot bless the memory of your comrades who gave their lives so that we could live in their own zemi.Thanks Major Winters
@xxClonemanxx It's a great book, I finished reading it a few days ago after reading it for a straight week. I didn't wanna put it down, it's that good..despite the fact that the British in the book seem like idiots >.<
I was in the Air Force Museum today and saw displays for Mexico, Brazil, and Italy that I had never seen before and how they helped secure our freedom by fighting and sacrificing. God bless you, and thank you!
I was in the Air Force Museum today and saw displays for Mexico, Brazil, and Italy that I had never seen before and how they helped secure our freedom by fighting and sacrificing. God bless you, and thank you
If it weren't for the Canadiens, British, free poles, and Americans then I would be speaking German. Every single allied soldier that died liberating France is like a fellow countryman dying. There are French people who remember the sacrifices made by those outside of our mainland continent that didnt have to come but did so because they wanted to give freedom to all. My grandfather told me that the feeling of liberation by the Americans
damn this company, Easy Company, the bravest motherfuckers out there with the rest of US WWII troops, wish I could have fought with them...

Just a few comments on your note:
1. The US was the only country formally declared war on, and the shipping attacks off the eastern coast were quite severe.
2. The Soviets lost nearly 27 million, not 20
3. American lend lease also propped up the Soviets and accounted for as much as 10% of their economy through the war
4. The Soviets did bear the brunt of the ground war, but not the naval or air war.
5. I would think it would be best to consider it a team effort.

@DRtacosalad24 No, the pacific was also playing a huge part in saving the world from the forces of Japan! Do you know how many contries Japan had occupied? Have they therated the people in those occupied contries? Cause I think if you did you would think differently about the pacific campian!

The most epic mini-series in the history of anything WWII related, on HBO before or since, and in the history of Television itself. This song is even epic. God, I love this show and these men.

But when people say we work harder than the army because we pay taxes work our asses off all day, it pisses me off... These people, These marines, These band of brothers are the reason we are here, these marines had sacrificed their safety for our freedom. We, we people our everyday lives, will never know the true feeling of freedom, they

His name is Amos "Buck" Taylor. But I am not sure bout the rank. As of August 25, only 34 veterans of E company remain. Some of the notable people are Frank Perconte, Wild Bill Guarnere, Don Malarkey, Buck Compton and Babe Heffron. Even the guy who is badly injured from 1:52 to 1:56 whose name was Edward Tipper or something like that is still alive.

@Hikarilover123 LOL your very well educated (sarcasm). The Russians managed to completely destroy Hitler's army and penetrate the weakened Eastern front even though they managed to accumulate heavy losses, much greater than Germany, US, France, Britain etc. Without them, the war would have taken a very different path. Had Hitler occupied Russia he would have gotten more Lebensraum, something Adolf wanted for a really long time. That was one of his main political goals as a leader.

I think ever educated man believes in Nazis. Believing they didn't exist would cultivate ignorance.
Regardless, Nazis were soldiers too; in fact, a good portion of them were just trying to defend their country. Hitler rose to power in a promising a country in destitute after WWI a new birth in a rich, modern world. Understanding of the entire world back then was much more limited than now a days. I'm sure you'd of done the same. It'd be better to say the dislikes are unpatriotic.

If it weren't for the Canadiens, British, free poles, and Americans then I would be speaking German. Every single allied soldier that died liberating France is like a fellow countryman dying. There are French people who remember the sacrifices made by those outside of our mainland continent that didnt have to come but did so because they wanted to give freedom to all. My grandfather told me that the feeling of liberation by the Americans
