B.O.B "Day of Days" - German artillery battery

The battle scene in which the men take and destroy the four guns is highly charged, and well executed. It is here that we first see Winters' great ability as a soldier and combat commander. Winters personally leads a textbook assault and captures and destroys the guns. He is awarded the Distinguished Service Cross for his actions, and his chance capture of a map showing all the German gun positions in Normandy. The wounding of Private Robert "Popeye" Wynn is shown and provides a slight hint of comedy in the midst of the battle.

This first real battle scene of the series is outstanding and is one of the best of the series as a whole.

For those who say this is 'propaganda' or unrealistic. This was based on a historic battle where Easy company did in fact capture and destroy 4 guns. It is based on the diaries and reports of people that fought.

Airborne Infantry Divisions are American special forces--best men even in America, like SPETZNAZ. They were fighting German Artillery, which is not as well trained in trench fighting.

There is dramatic embellishment, such as with the Luger, but scenes are based on history.

@DaDiema

This series was based on the book. I have no doubt that it was "Hollywood-ized", but even some get lucky.

Like Speir's run to link up with I company, he was one lucky son of a bitch!

Major Winters won the silver star for this battle and it is today taught at West Point and regular basic training.

@berserker276 My bad, I know, I wasn't really thinking straight because I was in Youtube rage mode Haha thanks for correcting the mistake.

@ArchitectDream Correctin on my part, won by the *Allies, and I believe if nobody else contributed and the allies didnt weaken the rest of the Axis on and spread them thin. The Russians, no matter their numbers would have been destroyed. Although like you said the russians played an enormous part in the war, without them everyone e;se would have lost. But, please next time you correct someone you dont have to insult them.

@berserker276 My bad, I know, I wasn't really thinking straight because I was in Youtube rage mode Haha thanks for correcting the mistake, and not being a prick like @ArchitectDream.

@Howisthisnameinvalid The war was won by the Allies*. Just saying.. it's disrespectful to all the other countries who also fought the Nazi's.

@DaDiema May be so but this was a real attack and the adaptation is pretty faithful.

@FinalWar1444 Just one, the 101st Airborne. They had little food and even less ammo with no support. The SS couldn't break them. They held for weeks and blunted the Germans Advance; then Patton showed up and the rest is history. You mad?
