10 Things You Didn't Know About Band of Brothers

No matter what you think of someone, no veteran should die of neglect and malnutrition. 😢

This is by far the best Series ever. I’m so glad it happened. I can’t still today stop watching it.

My son and I are taking the 2 week Stephen Ambrose Band of Brothers tour in July 2024. Starting in England and ending at the Eagles Nest. We will visit all of their battle sites. A bucket list trip.

Band Of Brothers has been my favorite series of all time. I keep watching it again and again. The POW camp still tightens my throat every time i watch it.

And don't forget that this June 6th, 2024, will be the 80th anniversary of the "Great Crusade". As referred to by General Eisenhower. Let us honor them now and forever.

I feel sorry for Herbert Sobal. Although he wasnt cut out to lead men, he was quite capable of making soldiers. A classic case of trying to put a glove on a foot.

BOB is the greatest war series/film ever made. Have watched it many times and will watch it again.

Renée Lemaire was depicted only using her first name in the series. Augusta Chiwy was the black nurse Renee called Anna and she passed away in 2015.

One of the best things I’ve ever seen. I watch it every year.

I served in the army for 19 years Honestly a band of brothers is one of the best army series ever done

We are all human and have faults, What suprises me is Sobel can't read a map to save his life and didn't know when enough is enough. We all fail but failure only matters when we fail to learn and benefit from what has transpired. RIP Sobel.

Buck Compton was an All-American Catcher.

The classic military jeep figures prominently on BoB because the classic military jeep figured VERY prominently in the war.

Tom Hanks was an extra in one of the Episodes ..He was one of the Brits rescued in the night ops and celebrating with the 101st...The scene was less than 2 seconds...

Greatest decision by HBO & Tom Hanks ever. Probably also Spielberg. This is an IMPORTANT series, not just a great one. THESE GUYS REPRESENT ALL THE GREATEST GENERATION WHOSE STORIES WERE NOT FILMED

What happened to Sobel was wrong on so many levels. He wasn’t well liked but he most likely saved a lot of lives with his harsh training. I willing to bet many in Easy Company would agree. We should salute him for his sacrifice for his country. 🇺🇸

It’s rare to find an officer or NCO who is great at their job, a great trainer, a great staff officer and a great leader. If it was easy everyone could be in command.

Jimmy Fallon not being able to drive a stick is not the least bit surprising.

2 things nobody really knows about: two original Toccoa men died rather tragic deaths later in life. Denver "Bull" Randleman contracted an easily treatable MRSA infection on the site of a surgical graft while in a nursing home. It went completely ignored and untreated and ultimately killed him. George Luz was still working as a handyman into his advanced years. In 1998 he was working on a gigantic industrial dryer when it slipped its supports and fell on top of him, crushing and instantly killing him. Neither of them deserved to die in the way they did.

Thank you for posting this I think everyone in the world should have to watch this series
