  • My Grandfather was in Easy. Thank you for posting this.

  • From Cape Cod, MA -

    Thank you for this vid!

  • I have been there a few days ago when we went on a field trip!

    It was alot of fun and it just looked the same as in October 1944!

    Greetings Derk from The Hague Netherlands

  • what country is this?

  • @elrikoo1 The netherlands<3

  • @leoniscoolful that's cool, because i live in the Netherlands, what city is it?

  • @elrikoo1 haha ik ook , ik weet niet precies

  • Comment removed

  • Why do dutch people speak great english?

  • @TheGoldenEagle19 Simply because they have a real education system (as does most of Europe) and not that bad joke we got back in the states. Most Europeans I know speak 2 or 3 languages fluently.

  • @TheGoldenEagle19 I'm not dutch but I know few of them . I think that they speak well just because they start to learn as kids. When I was in Holand I watched TV & the first thing I noticed was that they don't translate movies and there is no dubbing too . Original movie with subtitles in native language . Sorry if my english is incorrect. I'm still learnig it .

  • RIP Major

  • Thanks for this tribute to those men who fought for the liberation of Europe.

  • Mr. Donkersloot, Thank you so very much for this wonderful video. It is so good to see actual locations as they are today.

  • R.I.P. Richard Winters

  • they all deserve to have everything they want they were true heroes i salute to all of easy company who was afraid but always got the job done and rest in peace maj Dick winters you are with the men that wasnt able to come home. 101st i give you guys the up most respect and i always will your story will never die true american legend

  • Thank you for posting this video!

  • Mr. Donkersloot,

    Thank you once again. I have been viewing many Band of Brothers videos on youtube and their respect and love for the Dutch people is very apparent. Apparently this goes both ways which is great to see. America sent it's young to Europe to fight for freedom, and I very much appreciate your thoughfulness.

  • I would love to visit the crossroads one day. Along with some other WWII historic sights.

  • Great post. Thank you. It shows just how insignificant locations were, where really significant deeds took place. Thank you.

  • and all the people who ride along don't know what happend there

  • Thank you very much for sharing the site. Memorial fitting but NOT BIG ENOUGH! RIP BOBrothers great leader and an example of what a humble leader really is God Bless you Dick Winters. RIP shalom

  • THE EAGLE WILL ALWAYS SCREAM FOR OUR FALLEN HEROES!!!

  • Dear Mr. Donkersloot, My sincerest thank you for your kindness and thoughtfulness in making this tribute to Dick Winters and his men! After 65 years, it is heart warming to know people stll pause and remember their history. You will be in my Rosary daily along with Dick and ALL the men of Easy Company. Peace be with you! Kindest regards.

  • Instant goofbumps ( kippenvel ). World war 2 scenes always give me huge goofbumps.

  • awesome video! nice to see that folks still have respect for the lives that were given there for the cause of freedom. God Bless all those serving their country, past and present, and all those that gave the ultimate sacrifice for freedom.

  • why the fuck would you dislike men lost there lives fighting for us on this road

  • I paid a visit to the Crossroads on Friday while doing a tour of the Netherlands from the UK. This video is fantastic. Thank you! and I am please to say the memorial has been replaced!

  • This was WONDERFUL. Thank you!!

  • @Qualetie dit is langs de dijk vanuit opheusden richting arnhem ,de heuvel in de verte is de grebbeberg als ik het goed zie

  • God only Code Pink would dislike this video.

  • Winters The Buggery specialist Boy did he like to poke little boys up the Arse

  • Thank you for making this video. Most people today in the U.S. have no idea about the sacrifices made by American soldiers in Europe. It is good to know that the people of Europe know enough to make a monument in remembrance of their heroism.

  • Very nice tribute and viedo.....was there about two weeks ago ...very moving tribute to the 101st men who fought there. The Dutch people are so friendly and helpful in my travels. Came for the dedication of the Windmill in Eerde....great week of salutes to all who fought for liberty & freedom. Thanks for sharing this with us....... TCUNC65

  • Thank you for sharing this! It was very interesting and touching to see!

  • I live at a WW2 fight place. I think almost every european can say this.

  • Where is this located? I'm sorry, I couldnt understand you're accent when you said the nearby town.

  • RIP dick winters. we are losing these great men so fast now its like sand through the fingers.

  • Thanks for posting this video on this very historic place.

  • Thank you for filming and posting this. I have read Dick Winter memoirs many times and watched BoB over and over and it's interesting to see this view of that location.

  • Good job on the video. It's fascinating to see what those battlefields look like today.

  • Voor degene die het nog niet weten, Bernie van Doorn en Rijacco Hoogendoorn hebben deze week een nieuw monument neergezet. Er zijn een paar wijzigingen in het uiterlijk gekomen, maar ik vind het resultaat echt super! De moeite waard om nog een keertje te gaan kijken.

    For those who doesn't now it yet, Bernie van Doorn and Rijacco Hoogendoorn replaced a new monument last week! There are a few changes, but to me, it is really beautiful! It's really worth visiting!

  • Look for the exact place of this assault on google maps. Search for Hemmen Netherlands and find the crossing of 'Randwijkse Rijndijk and Renkumse Veerweg south of 'de Rijn' . You also can search for ' Randwijkse rijndijk 6' and go 500 meters to the left (west); there you can see 'Crossroads' and also the monument of this event. The adres of Schoonderlogt is Valburg - Logtsestraat 4-6.

  • Thank you so much for posting this. I really enjoyed it.

  • wow i'd like to visit

  • camped here about 4 weeks ago....fantastic place to visit

  • @Joecosby1 How to find this place . Can you tell me the name of the village aroud this place .

    Regards

  • Well done. It's great to hear from the people in the country's that were liberated by our brave men.

  • Looks alot like they depicted it in BOB

  • @drey4lyfee not really....

  • 101 likes!!!

  • This prick is lucky he didn't get run over Windy or what shoot the sound man He sounds dumb because he is North and South over here over there Hm Hm YOU REALLY GET A VIEW Mr WINTERS this has to be Borat

  • Fantastic Tribute and well said.

  • A few days AFTER the whole Crossroads story, F/506 lost men near this spot -about 100 yards towards the former the mill-. There is more to history, than the pop-history of BoB. Have been at the Crossroads during the early 2000's with the original BoB Tours, it was great to see the veterans react to the hype. 'The amount of Germans we fought, are growing by year. And now they're all SS !'. Lest we Forget all the efforts of all the Companies, Regiments & Divisions !!

  • Thank you so much for sharing this with us! I love seeing historical spots the way they are today! Definitely a very important spot for all of us who love Band of Brothers!

  • Thanks for taking the time to make this video and show all of us the present day site of this historic battle. Sadly, the sacrifices these men made and the knowledge and understanding of what happened in our world during WWII is being forgotten. Thank you so much for the respect and remembrance you have shown in making this video! Have a blessed day!

  • Beautiful video, and a great walk threw bud. You really gave a great tour. And you giving thanks really shows your appreciation of history, and most of all, your graditude. Thanks for posting my friend.. 

  • Hi Pim... did you get my email about our plans and arrival time in ND?

  • Very good video. Informative and concise.

    Thank you.

  • Than you very much for posting this!!

  • Thank you so much for posting this video. I hope to visit these legendary places one day.

  • This was the place where Cpl Dukeman was killed by the blast of a mortar round. Those soliders who fought here as well as the man who led this assault, the late Major Richard Winters as well as the KIAs and Wounded really deserve a salute from the Army.

  • These men fully deserve this tribute

  • @pdonkersloot thank you for sharing this! Band Of Brothers is an AMAZING movie! it was very true to the events that occurred during the 2nd world war,it was also amazing to hear first accounts of the soldiers that were actually there during the 2nd world war!

  • Sir, you are a true gentleman we salute you for this tribute.

    Thank you again .

  • im german ( 29 ) and really thankfull that there were heros like Richard Dick Winters ( rest in Peace ) Easy Company and so many others who freed our country, europe, the world and made it a better place. My and future generations should never forget these Heros.

  • i just, i just cant believe he just passed away, it was such a surprise, i couldn't believe it, I still cant.

  • im also fans of BOB from the Philippines, Thank you for the the great video , major Winters and easy company will be remembered forever.

  • Whos the ass hat that hit the dislike button?

  • WHO the hell disliked this!?

  • @mattmagbanua7  Hitler..... Hitler clicked the dislike button

  • The monument is heavily damaged cos a car crashed into it. Sad, very sad. Stichting Never Forget Them are now raising money to rebuild it. The costs are about 2000 euro.

  • @roowke This is awfull news. Is there a (web)address, and if so, where can we donate a contribution? He have to rebuild it!

  • @pdonkersloot

    thank you so much for posting this .

    I worked on the series for 8 months as costume crew. I met some of the veterans , inlulding 'Wild Bill' and 'Babe' .

    All of us owe these men an incredible debt. I have shown my children the series ,and explained to them that the freedom they take for granted ,was paid for by men like these.

    May we NEVER forget .

    Pete in the U.K.

  • Thank you for the tribute sir!

  • you have good english

  • Ga naar Wageningen, neem de pont over de Nederrijn richting zetten en als je de pont of bent na ongeveer 400 meter linksaf de dijk op. Die ongeveer 3 km volgen en op een kruising (de Crossroads) links zie je het gedenkteken met ster. Schoonderlogt ligt 5 km verderop zuidwaarts. Zie You Tube 'Dick Winters Schoonderlogt 65 jaar later'. Succes. Groeten, Pim Donkersloot

  • Erg gaaf om te zien, lijkt precies het zelfde in de serie.

    Waar is dit in Nederland?

  • Thank you so much for posting. You had, and will continue to have, friends and allies in the United States. Rest in peace Major Winters and all the heroes of WW2.

  • REST IN PEACE MAJOR DICK WINTERS!

    RESPECTFULLY GREETINGS TO HEAVEN FROM GERMANY!

    YOU ARE A HERO.....for many many people in the world, but not at least for your buddys and comrades who fights with you side by side!

  • R.I.P Col. Dick Winters

  • @MrTragiiKz Sorry but it was Major Winters* R.I.P. Maj Winters.

  • @berserker276 Yeah, I know I have no idea why I put Col. RIP Major Winters

  • @MrTragiiKz Makes you upset that he's dead doesn't it? One day (1st of January) he was here, the next he was gone..also makes me ashamed that I never knew about him until I got the mini-series.

  • @berserker276 Yeah, I wish I could've met him.

  • @MrTragiiKz I can't believe I've found a troll who said he's apparently glad Winters is dead..

  • Thanks so very much for posting this. I have studied Easy Company a good bit and missed seeing this area when I toured their battlefields in 2006. So sad to have lost Major Winters this week, it is a consolation to see that this area is now so beautiful and peaceful, as it so richly deserves to be.

  • Thank you for showing those of us who may never make it to Europe some of the places our heros walked. I thank you again.

  • @jimmyggh1 It is a pleasure. The great American generation deserves this. And i am very happy that the vast majority of the Dutch realize that.

  • A great tribute. Thanks for taking the time.

    RIP Major Winters. A true hero. A credit to the whole human race.

    Europe is forever indebted to you.

  • @baronvonscag Thanks

  • Thank you for posting this

  • that's awesome, thanks for sharing!

    God bless Holland!

  • RIP Major Dick Winters, not only a great American Hero, But a true Hero to the world!!

  • Very well done. Thank you.

  • RIP sir winters! for ever have a part in history for you and many others great deeds. may your storie live on sir and CURAHEE!

  • ff in t engels For all men who died during all wars I respect them all, R.I.P. all who died for our freedom.. In fields of sacrifice Heroes paid the price Young men who died for old men's wars Gone to paradise We are all one great band of brothers And one day you'll see we can live together When all the world is free R.I.P. all soldiers who died during all wars... we will respect you and what you have done for our country('s)
  • excellent video

  • nice job man :) keep it up

  • thank you so much for this video.

  • Bit strange how they have set this on film in BOB. It confuses me.

    When E-com attacks the dike is on the right side in the film. E-com were located in Zetten and the germans were in Opheusden, the dike should have been on the left side whilst attacking.. (?)

    I have visited this place yesterday, on both sides you have ditches...

  • @klootjepiet I'm sure the landscape changes over the course of 60 years

  • Thanks for posting this. It's amazing, informative, and gives us a wonderful insight to the heroic actions of Easy Co. I wish I could have been there with you making this. Again, thank you for your time and effort producing this video and THANK YOU to ALL our WW2 vets!!!! I thank every one of you every day. You ARE The Greatest Generation!!!!

  • @machsixer It was my pleasure and honour. Easy Co deserves it

  • Thanks for this wonderful video.

  • Thank you from America, my friend. You are showing us places many of us will never get to see. We're about to celebrate Memorial Day here and how fitting to come across this now.

  • Thank you for posting, very interesting.

  • Thanks for the honor for this hero.

  • Thanks for the honor for this great hero. Probably from what I read this moment showed his leadership the best - it could have gone so wrong.

  • Very good commentry on the crossroads version of Band of Brothers, thankyou for time, we must neve forget!

  • Thank you for your video tour of the crossroads. I can't wait to see it for myself the next time I am back in Europe. To view the ground where so many died, yet where so many fought with such valor reminds us all of the cost of freedom. Thank you for this video. - Lieutenant Alex J. Longo

  • @alexptube Thank you Lieutenant Longo. If there is any other place that you would like to see on video, I am more than willing to go there and shoot some cxlips. biside the Crossroads, I went a few mile further to Estate Schoonderlogt (depicted in the beginning of episode Crossroads when Winters with Lewis in their jeep arrive - it looks exactly like that) where Winters iconic picture was taken. Warm regards, Pim donkersloot

  • Also look at Schoonderlogt, a video clip from the Schoonderlogt Estate where Dick Winters shared a room with captain Lewis. See you Tube: Schoonderlogt

  • @pdonkersloot Sorry, his roommate name was Lewis Nixon
