God Bless the 101st Airborne, 506th PIR

[killer614]

I took this tour while stationed in Germany in the late 80's...I remember that the Malmendy site was so tiny

[SStotenkopfgruppen]

god dammit shoot that motherfucking anoying baby put him in a foxhole and berrie him

[Raafje84]

Ive been 6 times to the ardennes with my former fellow soldiers of the 11th air Brigade.

We found bullets , Helmets , Shells and various items

[KguitarBroski]

i was there and i found a mortar cap on the ground last year! its sooo cool. but its not good to destroy that hallowed ground in search of souveniers.

[xajimas]

se han llevao hasta el críooo¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

[edup12]

I thought it would be impossible to have the foxholes still there!!!

[gobbo71]

@edup12

you should come to see the WWI trenches. Even the barbed wire is all there.

[PFCPEDERSON]

Someone shut that fucking baby in the background up

[Haloskulls117]

[123miguelp]

@PFCPEDERSON i agree, i know its a baby, but its disrespectful

[MovieReviewCentral]

I'm geussing that's right on the line.

[MovieReviewCentral]

OMG, thanks so much for posting this!!!!!!

[Masterofwar232]

[Heikkine]

[lukey544]

[wallacro]

[WAKeele]

Thanks for uploading this video. The video I shot while I was there was lost when my hard drive dead. I lost thousands of photos and video from my last couple of month stationed in Germany. These scenes rekindle vivid memories of this part of my travels.

[Maljanus]

allready found 3 german helms , 1 silver teaspoon from luftwaffe + allot of ammonition

and 1 mortar

[ryosuke989]

[sufkiller]

I would of got down on my knees and cried and say thanks to all those who died here.

[almeidaal]

Just returned from a two week tour with my Dad, Amos Almeida, 101st, 502 PIR, B company. we visited Normandy, Holland, and Bastogne. It was quite an honor to be there with my Dad, who is 86 years old, and listen to him as he spoke of the battles that he fought, and to watch him as he walked around the forests, and the towns (Champs, and Longchamps). I will never forget this trip, and I will always honor the veterans that fought there, especially the ones that gave their lives for us.

[laserprint10]

Oh man,share some story with us. If you want, write me on my e mail something from that story.Thank you whatever you do.

[bigdog49094]

almeidaal

Tell your father thank you for me and my son for your father's service. You don't need to be in a movie to be a hero.

[barkerroberto]

@almeidaal Bless your father. As a veteran myself.........I salute him.

[samzz3323]

thats fucking sick

i love band of brothers.

[whompo]

i wonder if dick winters has been back

and how are the foxholes still there 60 years later

[bates2781736]

oh hes been back to that woods many times....it mentions it in the documentary in the film series "band of brothers"...he and bill guarnere visited those very foxholes in it

[falloutdude222]

i think it was babe heffron that guarnere went with. him or joe toy, cannot remember. it wasnt winters though

[bates2781736]

o i thought it was my bad

[inkman234]

Gives me the chills to think the very site they were standing on was the actual battleground. truly sacred ground.

[inkman234]

Its one of those things on my list that you have to see for yourself before you die. I hope I am blessed with that privilege.

[bates2781736]

same here i feel a right i owe to the men that died there to go back there

[DeltaKungfu]

My Grandpa faught there. Almost lost his leg.

He died 3 years ago from cancer, wish he was still here.

[WAPAISHONE]

God bless America!

[Del1010]

i must go there and see it!

[ZachM16]

did they replace the trees from the tree bursts

[whompo]

you dont replace trees

they grow back

it was 60 years ago

they have grown back

[joey5552424]

So was that like a tour guide or something?

[siemprefiel2008]

Pretty much; the guy in the blue hat was our tour guide, and he's pretty much the expert (I think he was consulted for Band of Brothers). He was eight or nine years old during the siege. If you ever go to Bastogne - which is totally worth your time - lemme know; I'll try to get you his name (it's buried somewhere around here).

[spectorplayer]

That is in the Bois Jacques forest isn't it? I've been there too. Too bad some people dig in those foxholes to find ammo or weapons. Love that region.

[Wantabanana]

Nice trees.

[madcunt16]

if you watch the bonus features of the band of brothers series it shows the veterans standing in that exact spot pointing to places their buddies died and describing what happened to them 60 years ago.

[siemprefiel2008]

Yeah I had watched the bonus feature before I went to Europe, simply awesome...I remember the woods and everything. Seems though that that episode in BoB (Breaking Point I think) was slightly off, the town of Foy was much further than depicted, which only adds to my awe that they had to traverse so much terrain to capture the town.

[Brandalarm]

Heroes!

[macker1027]

r those the look outposts on the floor where them trees are on the ground basically how they were left 60 years ago

[spacecowboy22]

god bless everyone of them. Heroes forever x

[albinocobra1]

anytime you're in Brandenburg , just walk into any forest and you're bound to find something dug into or out of the earth . We found a blast-bent russian shovel the other day and bits to a russian medical kit.

Don't let the cops catch you though !!!

[Alfalphaboy]

hey... me too man... it wud be great to visit places where those guys have fought... just our own little way of thanking them...

[kawasakipolaris]

I really hope to travel around Europe and visit all the major war sites

[PewterPlunder]

simply unreal

[mozzaman52]

Those guys stood through hell in that forest, they should never be forgotten.

[sambishop195]

everyone in the war went through hell.

[mozzaman]

Very true
