2020-06-18 16:00:16 +0000 UTCTowards the end of World War II, food supplies became increasingly scarce in the Netherlands. After the landing of the Allied Forces on D-Day, conditions became increasingly bad in the Nazi-occupied Netherlands. The Allies were able to liberate the southern part of the country, but the allies ceased their advance into the Netherlands when Operation Market Garden, the attempt to seize a bridge across the Rhine at Arnhem, failed. The result is what is known as the 'Oorlogswinter' or 'War-Winter', a famine in the Nazi occupation zone that lasted until at least May 1945, and cost the lives of est. 18000 people. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_famine_of_1944%E2%80%9345 Besides the women depicted in this episode, an estimated 3% of the overall Dutch population was at one time or another a member of the National Socialist Movement (NSB) (the Dutch version of the Nazi party), including, regretfully, my grandparents. Whether this was for practical or ideological reasons I will probably never know, but one could imagine it helped in business under nazi-occupation (they where both lawyers). After the war they emigrated (self-exiled) to Indonesia, which was still a Dutch colony at the time and stayed there for well over a decade.

2020-06-18 15:28:59 +0000 UTCWhile I’m sure there were many women in occupied countries that feel in love with German soldiers, many were simply opportunistic. They’d get extra rations, meaning others didn’t get them, and were all too willing to give up information on resistance movements, which got a lot of people killed.

2020-06-18 14:37:30 +0000 UTCI think they wanted to illustrate how heavily outclassed the Sherman’s were by the Tiger tanks. A German tank commander said after the war “a tiger was worth four Sherman’s, but the Americans always had a fifth”. I knew a very quiet sweet old man who went to my church growing up. His job in the war was to scoop out all the body parts in knocked out Sherman’s that were too big to be hosed out.

2020-06-18 14:35:41 +0000 UTCMarket Garden was a complete disaster and Monty doesnt get enough blame for all the carnage. He had good solid intel that he was sending men into a trap and he ignored it, because he wanted this operation too much.

2020-06-18 13:01:12 +0000 UTCThis episode has gotten criticism for being too harsh on the British tankers that served alongside Easy Company. I think the unit was called the 15/19th King's Royal Hussars. From what I've seen the British tanks destroyed just as many German tanks as they lost in the town of Nuenan. They had to retreat, but they didn't perform as badly as depicted in this episode.

So they layed bobytraps, sniper ambushes and blow up streets, bridges and railways whenever they could. There where even incedents of german snipers shooting in the festive crowd to cause havok.

2020-06-18 12:23:33 +0000 UTCThe Lt. beggin for getting tapped when green light goes on was lying at the recruitment office about being colour blind to get recruited. Thats why he asked for being notifed by his NCO.
