27:38 Robert Byrd cameo was definitely in poor taste.......

I read the book first before watching the series, as I have done with all three WWII series. In my book Rosie is nothing but a bona fide HERO. Anyone that flies that many combat missions is, especially an American jew. If he ever got shot down over Germany and the Nazi's picked him up it would more than likely mean immediately getting executed. Add to that when he flew all those missions he put in a request to go to the Pacific and fly B-29's. In the book they just said his request was denied because in the CO's words he had already done enough. Kind of reminded me of Major Winters meeting with the division General when he put his request in to to to the 13th airborne in the Pacific. FLY NAVY!!!

Could have been an iconic Coca Cola advertisement

look at the political climate now. would not have survived today .

Which movie?

","Colonel Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain: "The PEACE between the NOTES of HISTORY should NOT be a Hypocrisy AGAINST the FREEDOM between THEM"." - St. HMAJW."

Every year starting on D Day I watch through Band of Brothers and I watch your breakdown before each episode. Great series and thank you for your passion to honor the Greatest Generation!

No one pulled their’D’ ring.

Ron, I felt as filling another gentleman job, was fantastic. I feel for the task set for this film, that some of the a tirs got to meet those who they were acting for. Thank you for your film for HBO,yourself and who ever.

THIS is a wonderful piece of work !!

The first mistake of Operation Watchtower was to land Marines on the island. The land forces should have been the last element to take action, AFTER the enemy land forces had willingly left. The same was true throughout the Pacific campaign. Many tens of thousands of Americans died for nothing. Nothing at all. The same result could have been achieved by sea and air power alone, with our landing forces reserved for mop-up and airstrip garrisons. The only component our Allied leaders lacked was patience, either military or political. The Dutch East Indies had rubber and oil. Most of the tiny waypoints were just places to store supplies and field an air force. If they didn't have a good airfield or harbor they were of no value and only a few offered decent anchorage. I'm suggesting that the land forces were not needed except for garrisoning desired islands after the Japanese had willingly left. Ten of thousands of Americans were wasted needlessly by the high command. Sea and air were all that was required to drive the Japanese from ALL of those islands in turn just as they willingly abandoned Guadalcanal when they recognized they could not keep their troops fed. This was not due to our Marines this was due to our sea and air forces. ..

Why not these days??? Rid Russia of Putin and rebuild the Alliance we all shared. For the sake of humanity.

Colonel sanders????

Try reacting to " A Bridge Too Far" it's a better movie for me.

Ngl, that shirt is a bit fucked up

Just want to point out that when you said the binoculars would have come in handy for the men the crow’s nest. However binoculars were used to inspect an object not to detect an object. However if they were to have been using binoculars they may not have detected the iceberg 37 seconds before impact and the Titanic would have hit the berg head on. Ironically the ship would not have sunk if it had. Titanic was designed for that. Never before or since in maritime history has a ship side swiped an iceberg

Americans and Soviets should have been friends 4 ever. Stupid cold war

Censored.

My dad was a Navy corpsman on Pelileu. Before he was called to the island 3 fays into the battle on aN LST converted hospital ship, he was ordered to dump live marines over the side to drown. They didn't have room for all the wounded coming in. He never got over that.

So fall in lads behind the drum, with colours blazing like tube sun, along the road to come what may…

I had a relative at Bastogne who was in the aid station when White Christmas was played over the radio. He was at my grandparents house for Christmas one year and my grandmother started playing White Christmas on the stereo. He told her to turn it off and that he couldn't stand to hear the song after Bastogne.

We used to be bros with Russia, need to go back to that

I swear, next to "The Last Of The Mohicans," "Gettysburg" has the best soundtracks ever!

Intro song and flags was beautiful but maybe 60 seconds too long

Rosenthal?

Wonder if we'll ever call each other comrades again

Thank you for pointing out the huge contributions from American Allies. This in my mind is the worst American myth that takes away from the bravery of 100000 non Americans who hit the beaches at the same time. Shame on hollywood. The Canadians are not even mentioned in the longest day

I disagree. I don't think the filmmakers captured the reality of the camps very well at all. My grandfather was a MP in WW2 in Europe, and they were the ones assigned to cleaning up the concentration camps after the war. What he described to me goes waaaaay beyond anything I've seen on film yet. For starters, this camp was too small. Concentration camps were actually miniature cities with their own infrastructure and services. That's just my first criticism. Don't worry, I have more. The survivors in the camp weren't skinny and sickly enough. There should've been some corpses still on the electric wire from the inmates throwing themselves onto the electrified wire just to end their suffering. The next element they missed was the filth. The huts the Jews slept in had trenches dug down the middle that they had to use for a latrine, filled with excrement and urine. Next, there weren't enough insects shown. The corpses left in the open would've drawn massive clouds of flies, along with armies of ants consuming their decomposing bodies. Easy Company should've been walking through the camp with cotton in their noses to blunt the smell of decay the way the troops had to do in real life. Otherwise, you simply couldn't endure these sites with their thoroughly nauseating aromas. The camps also would've had areas that would've looked like small swamps that seemed out of place. These 'swamps' were actually mass graves, with the mud not coming from a water source, but from the bodily fluids of the decomposing bodies underneath the surface bursting open and rising to the top. Because this was the reality of these places. No film or TV series has ever accurately depicted the unflinching reality of what these camps were truly like thus far. Uniform-clad skeletons on the barbed wire. A stench that assaults your nostrils. Clouds of insects feeding on excrement and rotting corpses. Ground soggy from countless cadavers leaking bodily liquids. Survivors so frail they could snap the ligaments in their knees if they stood up too fast. That was the reality of the concentration camps the Allies uncovered in 1945.

The stories were true, he told Dick Winters after the war. This makes me wonder about your book

Imagine if he instead nenied beeing a n@z1 like If he made the symbol then motioned no.

I've watched the series a dozen times and read all the related books, and I never noticed Cobb in the back of the jeep. Thanks for pointing that out.

The series "Manhunt" contains inaccurate depictions of historical events and might be offensive to knowledgeable viewers. Anyone watching should remember that this series is for entertainment purposes only and should not assume that it contains factual information. "

Regarding the one reference to "Monty" and the Commonwealth troops issue: I think it is actually quite shameful they stuck that in the movie. It is astonishing how little respect a lot of Americans seem to have for the Commonwealth war effort, especially pre-US entrance, given how absolutely total it was, how effective it was in blockading Germany and defending Atlantic trade, and how much of it was specifically intended to protect the US coast from attack.

Me and my kids and my wife went there in Charleston in 2011. The submarine HL Hundley of the Confederate States and even my wife was amazed and proud will the amazing display of heroism buy these men. I was proud and humbled and amazed will the first enemy submarine in the history of the world!

Lt nixon I thoroughly enjoyed this video thank you. I believe all of you learned from this and appreciate what these hero's went through ❤❤

Just finished this outstanding book. It’s a very personal journey from one man who survived 34 bombing missions from July ‘44 to November ‘44. This book was very helpful to me in understanding the training and experiences that a bomber crew had during the European campaign. Thank you, Dr. Frederick for bringing this man’s story to the public. Thank you Mr. Homan for telling your story.

And look at US now...

The best gift I ever received in my life, and I'm 60, was in 1971 when I got a Marx Blue and Gray Civil War set of plastic toy soldiers. Loved it to death. Played with it for years setting up battles. When my family moved in March of 1978, my mother threw out all of my toy soldier sets, including this one. Concerning the movie, I bought it 15 years ago and have watched it at least 20 times.

Anyone else find Orloff a bit unlikeable?

One thing the show conveys subtly, is that whilst they were personally brave, the Bucks were incompetent squadron commanders. The 100th was well known for loose formations and missing rendezvous with the higher formations that directly contributed to the disastrous run of missions during 1943. The Bucks were ill disciplined and this translated into their mission performance The best thing that could've happened to the 100th was the Bucks no longer being part of the hierarchy. The 100th became much more professional once the original leadership departed. I stress again the Bucks were charismatic and extremely brave guys, but incompetent in the kind of cold technocratic leadership that was required to forge an efficient and professional bomb group
