Coming to it a bit late but I loved this reaction. Great episode. Of you want to see more about what operation market garden was about you should check out "A Bridge too Far." Older movie with lots of casting surprises.

2024-09-10 00:03:41 +0000 UTCUnit citations are for anyone, and I mean ANYONE, assigned to that Unit. It doesn't matter if you weren't "there" when the Unit did the thing that got them a Unit Citation. If you're in that Unit, you get to wear the Unit Citation. Right now, today, Recruits fresh out of Basic are showing up at their first Duty Stations, and get to put on the Unit Citations for that Unit, even if it was awarded for actions in WWI, almost 100 years before they were even born.

2024-09-09 21:25:29 +0000 UTCHey guys, just to say that I love your reactions. And to the question of Diamond Dave about the women being shaved and whether it happened like that or not, it did. Sorry in advance for the long answer. In France, we call it the "wild epuration" as opposed to the "legal epuration" (trials). When villages / cities were liberated, members of the Résistance helped by inhabitants would round up known collaborators (men and women) to serve them justice the way they thought they deserved it: they shot the men (around 9,000 in total) and shaved women who had slept with the “occupant” (around 20,000 in total). Unfortunately, not all of women were collaborators (like prostitutes – a lot of them had actually helped the Résistance-, women who had fallen in love or who had worked for them as cleaning ladies, etc.). Most of the time this happened right after a town was liberated and as they were celebrating the Liberation. It was quite brutal, hence its name. One important thing to know though, as to understand why they did it, and I'm ont saying it was the right thing to do, is that France was coming out of five years under the Occupation of the Germans (Wehrmacht or SS) and under the rule of Vichy, the official French government at the time, led by Maréchal Pétain. A lot happened under its rule, and it wasn’t only because the Nazis had ordered it. Family members of known resistants were taken as hostages by the Nazis, a lot of them were imprisoned and shot in their stead. There was of course a lack of food, with the occupational troops taking what they needed and living what was left to the population, there was the STO (compulsory work service) which was the forced enlistment and deportation of hundreds of thousands of French workers to Nazi Germany to work as forced labour, there were still French POWs, dying in Germany because of the poor conditions they were forced to live in. Men and women were arrested and tortured for information, killed or deported, and not only by Nazis, but the French authorities also had an active hand in this, as well as in the arrestations and deportations of Jews: most roundups (like the Vel d’Hiv’ roundup in 1942) were entirely organized and done by them. Then you had active collaborators who gained a lot of privileges, rose to power, and adhered to the politics of the Vichy Regime and the Nazis’. A lot of them were downright cruel, had their own neighbours arrested, infiltrated resistants’ groups, etc. They were responsible for a lot of deaths and people hated them. WWII was a war against the Nazis but also a civil war. And all that accumulated led to the wild epuration. My grandmother who was 11 at the time of the Liberation only remembers a few things form the War, and has never talked much about it but one thing she vividly remembers is the women being shaved on the main square of her village, surrounded by all its inhabitants. Hope it helps.

2024-09-03 19:11:48 +0000 UTCThe details on how they moved in to that town is one of the highlights of this episode. Also, Bull, if you can't tell, is one of Winters' favorite soldiers, which is why he reacted the way he did when he heard he was missing, and that nod at the end. Can't wait for eps 6 and 7, this show just always ramps up in quality. There's an amazing film about the Jews in the Dutch Resistance in Holland called Black Book, came out in 2006, stars Carice Van Houten (Melisandre in Game of Thrones).

2024-09-02 11:40:59 +0000 UTCOnly noticed in this watch through that the tank "chasing" Bull has an image of a bull on the back of it. Makes me wonder if it was tagged as the prop to be used in that sequence and just missed during production or if there was a German unit with that particular designation. Just a thought.

2024-09-02 02:28:53 +0000 UTCMe two, Bastogne and The Breaking Point are my two favorite episodes.

2024-09-02 02:13:12 +0000 UTCIt’s also a great point by Diamond Dave about the music. There’s actually at least one episode if not multiple where there’s actually zero music other than the intro until the end of the episode. I want to say maybe episode five or six. But definitely the face acting and the use of the music or lack of use in music or just a few of the reasons why this is an absolute masterpiece.

2024-09-01 19:53:52 +0000 UTCSorry so long guys. This episode has something I can genuinely relate, too… with a full circle moment ending. I have deuteranopia and protanopia which is red/green colorblindness. When Lt. Peacock asks Sgt. Martin to “tap him” when the green light comes on, this is why Being colorblind doesn't mean we can't see color at all… we just can't see all the different shades, variations, and contrast like normal people can. It is especially difficult to distinguish variations with backdrops that are similar (trees, hedgerows, grass, brush, etc)..... all that stuff usually looks like one or two colors to me. I can't see the normal world but, the normal world can see mine. So if you're curious, just look up normal vs. colorblind vision. It will probably show a diagram with different shades of tomatos or something. For reference, the images for normal, deuteranopia, and protanopia all look EXACTLY the same to me. There is no difference whatsoever in the shades of color on the images. The only one that looks different is tritanopia, for blue/yellow colorblindness. Full circle…. my GRANDPA (who died long before I was even born) was drafted than subsequently REJECTED from the military because, he too, was COLORBLIND but, here's the crazy part, he had NO IDEA he was colorblind, he had never taken the test before. From what I heard, he was PISSED. He didn't believe them at first. Never even had a chance of “cheating” his way through. As it turned out, he still became a valuable part of the war effort from home. We are from Louisiana. So, when he was rejected from combat, he literally walked a few blocks over and went to work at a Higgins plant in New Orleans. Two of my great aunts joined him there. He also drove a church van full of carpoolers to and from work every day. For those who didn't know, New Orleans is where 20 THOUSAND Higgins boats were manufactured… the boats that carried the troops to beaches of Normandy on D-Day.

2024-09-01 18:35:31 +0000 UTCNot going to lie the scene with the little boy and his first chocolate bar get me every time. It makes you realize how good we have it and the little things that we may all take for granted. And believe it or not, this won’t be the first time chocolate makes a profound & meaningful appearance in the show! Lol.
C Russ
2024-09-01 18:26:28 +0000 UTCOh, there’s also a cameo from one of the real life soldiers in the scene where they’re in Holland and everyone is celebrating. I won’t say who so that I don’t spoil anything but yes one of the actual veterans can be seen in this scene.
C Russ
2024-09-01 18:19:08 +0000 UTCYes, sir. All of them great episodes. It really is hard to pick a favorite when you start listing all of them. Refrain from spoiling too much about six, but that one doesn’t excellent job with the character centric episodes. I mean episodes 3-8 in regards to the characters they focus in on in each one or just absolutely cinematic perfection. I’m so glad these guys are watching this because I’ve been waiting for this particular channel to react to this show. Love the Badd Medicine bros!
C Russ
2024-09-01 18:14:52 +0000 UTCI also like how this continues the theme of each episode using a particular character as the focus for the story with the next episode focusing on Winters. I really can't wait for these guys to get to Episodes 6 and 7, the two that i consider the two most tense episodes of the series being focused on Bastogne and the hell those guys really had to go through to make it out a live.

2024-09-01 18:11:45 +0000 UTCThis is easily one of my favorite episodes. Partially because Denver “Bull” Randleman is one of my favorite soldiers that we get to learn a little bit about in this show. There’s a museum in Toccoa, Georgia where these men trained. It’s in the old train station that was there where a lot of these men probably arrived on trains to train at Toccoa and run Currahee. In this museum, they have an old horse stable that was actually from Aldborne England. Some of the men from easy company actually stayed in this stable. They found many artifacts and remnants of the men’s presence. Old candy bar, wrappers old shoes, and even a letter that was written to Randleman from his parents that was found tucked in the wall. They have so much more at this museum. It’s a really cool place. They even have Popeye Wynn’s old footlocker. There’s a great channel called “The History Underground” that is actually going to some of these places. He climbs curry, he and goes and shows the museum with the old barracks they rebuilt the exact same wood that was saved all these years. You can actually stay in these barracks if you take a trip to the museum.
