Yeeeeee true man to the Netherlands I think?

Yes, people were starving in Europe, especially in the Netherlands.

my heart skipped a beat in it when rosie told about coca cola and stalin and etc when he got to the russians

@@salto1994 he was so lucky they didn't shoot him before he could say anything.

just wonderful and very emotive

Well, the war was very personal for Rosie as a Jewish-American.

Thank you for being part of the A-10 family. In Desert Storm, the A-10s never stopped covering us and plowing the road for us as we ATK’ed through nine Iraqi Republican Guard maneuver brigades, artillery groups & divisional support brigades. The first A-10 I saw, the pilot was at my own height as I stood in my turret. Truly close air support. I knew plenty of guys from OIF and OEF that also sang the praises of the A-10’s that flew for them. Thanks again!

Callum turner also played Anatole Kuragin in the BBC adaptation of War and Peace. And did a fantastic job.

Apart from the constant Brit bashing throughout the series..even the Germans were portrayed as better, awful disrespectful series.shame on hanks and Spielberg

@@gazza1196 the brits did actually miss targets most of the time. Sometimes even by miles. Not taking away their part in the air raids, they played just a important role as anyone else, but the nighttime raids was more deadly and indiscriminate cause they'd hit anything. But i do agree with you kinda, I've heard there actually was always a bit of banter between the two.

@@Cucuy222 actually it is a bit of a myth that daylight bombing was anymore accurate. Fact is that vast majority of bombing carried out by all sides was not accurate at all. It wasn't until the invention of the bouncing bomb, tall boy and grand slam bombs by Barnes Wallis that precision bombing started to live up to the name and which led to the successful attacks on the Ruhr dams and the Tirpitz by the RAF. Agree with the comment by Gazza above as well - shame that Spielberg and Hanks have form for doing this. Respect should be given to all who served, but that is Hollywood for you

@@garino881 agreed but this was an American show about an American group so I don't think they'd bother throwing much light on the brits. Agreed they were a huge part of war too no doubt. Hopefully someday we get a war drama but from the pov of the brits. I'm curious tho did the brits have the Norden bombsight like the Americans did cause of which they did daylight bombing?

@@gazza1196the only time they showed that not all Germans were warmongering Nazis was the one Luftwaffe officer who the guy helped up after he collapsed from the snow March. Since he was the only German officer who actually showed any form of care for the prisoners to give them info and warn them of what the Germans planned to do as punishments

I have searched all over the Internet but I cannot find if Rosie Rosenthal spoke German. I would assume he did if interrogated Herman G. and other key Nazi leaders, but I am not certain. Does anyone out there know if he did indeed?

Same but at the same time, I didn't cry but felt heavy and was about to cry but it just didn't happen.

It was a mistake

I found the depictions of mental trauma to be both compelling and relatable. BoB5 and Pac4 were simply brilliant in my opinion.

Yes, your comparisons of Germany's invasion of Europe in the 1930s and the Ukraine in the 2000s are spot on. We have yet to know the final truth of all Putin's crimes against humanity in the Ukraine as we have probably only been exposed to the surface of that place. On another note, do not forget Tom Hanks' role in a great but lesser known film "Greyhound."

Wasn't it something like 20'000 died of starvation.

@@jameswg13 It is difficult to state with authority. I've seen estimated numbers from 15,000 deaths to upwards of 25,000. It certainly resulted in many thousands dying of starvation, thousands more dying of associated reasons, and long-term health impacts for millions. It was, and remains, a terrible (and poorly known), historical crime.

Two of them, one produced by HBO and the other by George Lucas.

@@ForgottenHonor0 George Lucas' movie was something of a childhood dream come true for him to make. All the starfighter combat in Star Wars is based off WWII dogfighting, they even move the same way. Some scenes in A New Hope are scene-for-scene remakes of classis WWII movies. In fact, the Death Star trench run is based off a real life WWII mission flown by the British where they had to fly slow and low into heavy defenses to hit a small target. Look up the "Dambusters" of WWII. Yarnhub on KZfaq has a nice recreation of it as well.

@@ForgottenHonor0The Tuskegee Airmen is the best.

@@hoghead4846 Accuracy-wise, yes. But I still have fun with Red Tails.

100% Agreed. They were one of the most accomplished units of the war but it's not touched on at all, which I fear renders their inclusion feeling a bit like it was just because they were an all black unit. But they fought and proved that they were among the very best and omitting that feels like a disservice to them, both as a unit and as pioneers in breaking the color barrier in the military.

this was not the show for them they were imo forced into this show for diversity points, they deserve their own show

Well, Robert Rosenthal was the “Dick Winters” of the 100th. He led them for the majority of the war, and led the largest bomb raid on Berlin.

I feel the show really went off the rails after the first few eps. The Tuskagees, the prison drama, the spy drama and of course the holocaust stuff. It’s a mess.

And the 761st Tank Battalion, the 'Black Panthers' they lived up to their unit motto 'Come Out Fighting' History Channel did a feature on them this past year with Morgan Freeman as the narrator

The “pretty, cocky flyboys” being intentional with the two Bucks, only becomes an obvious choice when Rosie arrives as a replacement. Since, Rosie does not fit the Hollywood stereotypes of what a pilot should be.

I think what you say would have been apparent only if B&B too would have been played by (relatively) unknown actors, similar to Nate Mann (Rosie.). In that case it would have been more understandable that these stardom/lack of traditional star-qualities things root in the characters themselves. But it was hard not to pay too much attention to Austin Butler's own star attitudes, his too-much-of-coolness way of talking at the beginning (also, the promotion of the series was build mostly around him) and lots of people, including me, were cautions/suspicious, asking do we really need this in this show? That's why I think it would have been useful at the beginning to stress out a bit more clearly that Butler was cast for Buck's role intentionaly because the character himself was seen by the other guys as kind of Mr Hollywood.

Don't forget that another actor in the series was Rosies Grandson

@@anitapetho - Austin Butler was cast, because no one else wanted to play Cleven. The role sucked, and Butler was completely miscast. Callum Turner is not giving a very good performance either, especially towards the end. Part of the reason Rosie had an unknown actor, was due to him being a cultural-conscious casting. Nate Mann is of Jewish descent and heritage. The character is almost very much not a flyboy. Rosie is a Jewish lawyer who has a personal connection to the war effort. There is nothing glamorous about why he volunteered after Pearl Harbor. He was not looking to have fun, unlike his predecessors.

@@ChienaAvtzon „Rosie had an unknown actor, was due to him being a cultural-conscious casting” Please, mansplain me more about why tv shows have to cast specifically unknown actors for cultural-conscious reasons. Anyway. The funny thing is that since I happened to mention something about Austin Butler in a positive context (never mind that I also mentioned that I was also suspicious about his too hollywoodish presence in this series, but AFTER I have READ Donald L Miller’s book quoting Crosby’s memoirs about how in his eyes B&B looked and talked like movie stars, I was like, ok, then the casting might make sence; but obviously, you can’t mansplain Crosby for his opinion so you turned towards me) , you think that we are kind of enemies in a childish unmature war about who is who’s favourite character. I wrote my first comment because Nikki mentioned that at the beginnig the show had pretty-boy-ish elements/moments, and I thought I share MY OPINION (according what I’ve read in one of the source materials of the show) about this particular notion. But because you’re obviously obsessed with the unlikely unglamorous war-hero character type of Rosenthal (I suppose you’re US citizen and he might be your real life hero too, which is cool, I unfortunately too Central-European, therefore too cynical to feel towards soldiers, so-called war heroes, that way), you instantly started misinterpreting my comment in a way, that I must be a fan of the opposite type of characters, and chastise me for this. (Just for the record in my comment I used the phrase „I think” several times, meanwhile you agressively show off that your point of view/opinion is the only valid one.) This must be the reason why you so agressively try to explain me why the real-life Rosenthal (have I mentioned that I read the book, so you don’t have to introduce him to me,) was a great person and his fictionalized version is a great character. I never said that he is not. In contrary, his storyline is which I liked to follow the most and even wanted more. Also, if you wouldn’t have such an unfortunate brainfog just by reading Austin Butlers name , you might have noticed that I especially have a soft spot for (relatively) unknown actors. (Rther for British and kess for Americans) and I mentioned some of them. (As a cultural journalist and critic for several decades, I have always loved to write about new talents, novelist, poets, also actors etc, who are rarely mentioned in other articles)) You are totally on the wrong path misinterpreting my comment that waythat I might despise Nate Mann (btw, he was not unknown for me becaus I remembered him very well playing the teenage Ray Donovan) for being unknown, or dislike the character played by him for the same reason. That's just an incredibly childish way of thinking. Therefore it’s totally unnecesarry to be so agressive while discribing why you like Rosie’s character. Especially because I like him too. But it doesn’t mean that I don’t have the right to have positive opinion about the casting of other actors, even those actors who you obviously don’t like.

The replacements got rid of him.

a full 3 hour movie is a challenge for our schedule
