a5c7b9f00b The story of Easy Company, 506th Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division, U.S. Army. Based on interviews with survivors of Easy Company, as well as soldiers' journals and letters, this 10-part series chronicles the experiences of these young men who knew extraordinary bravery and extraordinary fear. This is the story of "E" Easy Company, 506th Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division from their initial training starting in 1942 to the end of World War II. They parachuted behind enemy lines in the early hours of D-Day in support of the landings at Utah beach, participated in the liberation of Carentan and again parachuted into action during Operation Market Garden. They also liberated a concentration camp and were the first to enter Hitler's mountain retreat in Berchtesgaden. A fascinating tale of comradeship that is, in the end, a tale of ordinary men who did extraordinary things. I just watched it, because my friend tell me to. And for God sake, this is one of the best 700 minutes I ever spent to watching a series. This is… I don't know how to say it… This is pretty, fantastic, yet scary, and took you so deep into it. You thinking of it every time before you sleep, and again you thinking about it when you awake, this is a damn great series! Seriously! You'll be very thankful for a warm blanket, a clean water, a quite moment, a peaceful moment, a food, a home, a family. It's a series that everybody NEED to watch, everybody should see this. Spoiler: this series may change your life. At least, your point of view of -what-we-called-a-solution-to-make-peace- war. One last advance, see this. Don't ask why, just see. Take my advance as a gift. This is one of the best mini series ever on the small screen. It has the added advantage of being a very good production with 5.1 sound which is very unusual for a television series at the moment. The story follows the exploits of Easy Company through ww2. Even Better than Saving Private Ryan the performance of Damian Lewis is excellent throughout.
–––––<br/><br/>28 Oct '07 - History shows that Hitler died in Berlin on 30 April 1945 in Berlin at the Fuhrerbunker. Given the level of authenticity the show gives us, it is inconceivable that they would want us to think it was Hitler that was found at the Eagle's Nest.<br/><br/>The Adolf Hitler cuff title was not worn as a "name tag", and regardless, Adolf Hitler was never seen to be wearing a name tag of any kind. It is worn by members of the 1st SS Division Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler, a division of the Waffen SS originally formed in 1923 to serve as Hitler's body guards. By WWII it had expanded into a full division and fought in many battles.<br/><br/>The dead SS-Brigadeführer in the scene is of rank comparable to a division commander, and as no SS general was found dead at the Eagle's Nest, the whole thing is just a bit of artistic license.<br/><br/>Since Kastner-Kirdorf was a fairly high ranking officer in the Luftwaffe - Chief of the Office for Execution and Clemency Affairs of the Luftwaffe (from 15 Apr 1943 until his suicide on 04 May 1945) holding the rank of General der Flieger (General of the Fliers, comparable to an RAF Air Marshal or a US Lieutenant General), and also given that the officer is never identified in the episode, the inclusion of the "Adolf Hitler" cuff title on the uniform is probably meant to indicate that the officer they found was just a member of Hitler's staff.<br/><br/>––––– No, it is definitely not Christoph Waltz. Even if he was uncredited, imdb would or should have it listed on his filmography, it would simply say "(uncredited)".<br/><br/>Christoph Waltz has stated that he has only played a Nazi once, as SS-Standartenfuhrer (Colonel) Hans Landa in Inglourious Basterds and claims that he will never play a Nazi again. Some German officers were allowed to keep their sidearms for two reasons. First, it allowed the German officer to better impose his authority over his men (who are now technically prisoners). The second reason, was simply respect for officers. As the war dragged on and into Germany, American troops slowly came to understand the German soldier as a person like them. The German officers were following their orders and just trying to keep their men safe just like American officers. The Luger represents the officer's authority and respect, much in the same way Japanese officers were armed with swords. A single sidearm is not all that threatening to the American occupiers, especially when the weapon is held by a high-ranking officer who in all likely hood hasn't served as a front line soldier for years and is therefore not all that dangerous in any potential military action such as in a prisoner uprising.<br/><br/>However, It is odd that the movie script differs on this particular and deep felt moment from what really happens: Winters did indeed take the gun, unlike what was portrayed. They did this for the dramatic feel and to better illustrate the general respect between officers soldiers alike, as described above. It could be said that interaction where Winters kept the officer's pistol had already happened previous to the meeting of the Officer we see in the series as he likely met with more than one officer. So Winters lets the latter officer(s) keep his sidearm. The episode is slightly altered - Webster wasn't there, for starters. Speirs gave orders to Sgt John Lynch, Liebgott, Skinny Sisk and a private named Donald Moone to find the German and execute him. Liebgott interrogated him for 30 minutes, and said that they had got the right guy. They put him in a truck, drove to a ravine where Liebgott shot him twice with a pistol. The German started to run, and Moone was ordered to shoot him. He refused, so Skinny Sisk shot him instead. This is what happened in reality. After being brutally beaten, Speirs was going to shoot the replacement, but then decided against it and had the men turn him over to the MPs. It's likely he would have been tried and executed for the murder of the British and German officers and attempted murder of Grant. Grant survived, and died in the 1980s.<br/><br/>Speirs is quoted as saying there must have been some doubt in his mind regarding the identity of the man as the assailant 'because summary action never bothered me'. The Austrian scenes were shot in Switzerland(!).<br/><br/>The Giessbach Hotel in Brienz, Switzerland (http://www.giessbach.ch) thereby stood in for the hotel in Zell am See, Austria. Shooting took place in September 2000 and Damian Lewis must be a tough guy since the lake water is darn cold, not only in fall but year round, as the water comes straight down from the mountains.<br/><br/>The baseball game at the very end and the address by the German general were shot at the Swiss Air Force base in Interlaken. All other Austrian scenes were shot in the Interlaken area and around the two lakes (Brienzer See and Thuner See) in Switzerland.<br/><br/>Moreover, the German scenes were also shot in Switzerland. Unterseen, a district of Interlaken, Switzerland, thereby stood in for Berchtesgaden, Germany, and the Grimselpass, Switzerland, for Hitler's Eagle's Nest in the Berchtesgaden area, Germany (the Nest itself was computer generated). A few I can recommend: Winters, Dick and Kingseed, Cole: "Beyond Band of Brothers: The War Memoirs of Major Dick Winters", Alexander, Larry: "Biggest Brother" (a Dick Winters biography), Ambrose, Stephen: "Band of Brothers", "Citizen Soldiers", Burgett, Don: "Currahee!", "The Road To Arnhem", "Seven Roads To Hell", "Beyond the Rhine", Hastings, Max: "Overlord", "Armageddon", Ryan, Cornelius: "The Longest Day", "A Bridge Too Far", von Luck, Hans: "Panzer Commander", Webster, David Kenyon: "Parachute Infantry", Wilson, George: "If You Survive". <br/><br/>Also: William Guarnere and Edward "Babe" Heffron: "Brothers in Battle, Best of Friends"; Donald Malarkey: "Easy Company Soldier"; Marcus Brotherton: "We Who Are Alive and Remain". "The Longest Day" (D-Day), "Saving Private Ryan" (D-Day+), "A Bridge Too Far" (Holland), "Battleground" (Ardennes), "Patton" (Bastogne) Well, it is a series, but in order to get a better viewing experience, one can view the episodes so that they become more like a suite of four movies. Suite 1 = "Currahee", "Day of Days" and "Carentan" for the action in Normandy; Suite 2 = "Replacements" and "Crossroads" for Operation Market-Garden; Suite 3 = "Bastogne" and "The Breaking Point" for the Ardennes offensive; Suite 4 = "The Last Patrol", "Why We Fight" and "Points" for Germany and the end of the war. Dachau was a Nazi German concentration camp, and the first one opened in Germany, located on the grounds of an abandoned munitions factory near the medieval town of Dachau, about 16 km (10 miles) northwest of Munich in southern Germany, commonly called Bavaria.<br/><br/>Landsberg and Buchloe were satellite work camps build around Dachau in Bavaria. These work camps forced the prisoners to dig and work in tunnel systems that were used to manufacture weapons after the Allies had air superiority. There were a lot of concentrations camps around Landsberg, not just one.<br/><br/>This is considered the biggest dramatic license the show takes from history. Apparently, Easy company did not liberate any concentration camp, but did see Dachau after it had been liberated. That being said, it is easy to see why the show's creators would want to portray it the way they did.<br/><br/><br/><br/>So its true that they didn't liberated it, but they found it first. This camp, which is called "Kaufering IV", is liberated by the 12th Armored Division of the US Seventh Army on April 27, 1945 with help from soldiers in the 101st Airborne Division, who arrived on April 28, 1945.They did visited this workcamp in Buchloe which is placed in Landsberg and also they took care of the people in the camp. This camp was 1 of the 6 subcamps of concentrationcamp Dachau.<br/><br/>So they did take care of a german camp, although it wasnt a concentrationcamp, it only missed the actual killing buildings. The part in the movie were they close the camp is actually TRUE. Also the patrol of Frank Perconte (which is shown in the movie) did found the camp at first. The only thing that is wrong in the movie is that Easy Compagnie liberated it, the rest of that scene is actually true<br/><br/>Source; Beyond Band of Brothers - Dick Winters Atomic Shark download torrentFear Factor full movie hd 1080pViva Lucha Libre movie download in mp4Leave It to the Irish full movie in hindi 720p downloadKarmouz War movie in hindi hd free downloadTransformers 7 dubbed hindi movie free download torrentDangerous Scars downloadthe La certeza tiene tu nombre full movie download in hindiKing of LA download torrentRupan Sansei: Saish jobu full movie in hindi free download mp4
