had it for ages. amazing tv. best i've seen by a mile

Rewatching this again. 

It's so good. 

 

There's a new one in the works now, masters of the air. 

 

Couple of mad historical inaccuracies though. Strange as it's generally good and to make these two blunders is weird. 

 

 

The first is them talking about the edelweis flower and saying the Fallschirmjäger(German Paras) wore it. It was the Gebirgsjäger(Alpine troops)

 

The second was even bigger. 

End of episode 3 says Albert Blithe died in 1948 after never fully recovering from his wounds. 

He never left the military and died from a perfurated Ulcer in Germany in 1967 and is buried in Arlington National cemetery. 

 

That's is a fucking mad era from such a well done series. How it's not been edited in later did releases I don't know

I’m also rewatching this right now for about the fourth time. It’s still brilliant. The book is also great.

Only the fourth?. 

 

HBO absolutely nailed it, superb television that I doubt could ever be bettered, (barring the errors Lee mentioned).

The Bastogne and The Crossing episodes in particular were amazing.

Saw that last night

All the last vets of WW2 are dropping fast now.

Really sad that soon there'll be nobody who remembers the war. When we were growing up virtually every pensioner had a story to tell and there would have been people still in the workforce, bus drivers, window cleaners, pub landlords, who'd seen action. 

 

I was born in 1980 and it's hard to get my head around the fact that was closer to the war than it is to now.

Repped for being born in 1980, a good year

It was a very good year, it was a very good year for curly haired women with furry muffs.

Winters only had good things to say about Blithe. It's a shame they didn't get that right - he went on to fight in Korea and won the silver and bronze stars.

 

 

Band of Brothers is fantastic TV. I've been to the field at Brecourt Manor where Easy Company attacked the artillery guns. There is a plaque on a rock beside the road. I'd like to go to Bastogne next, if I can convince my girlfriend to go on another war porn holiday.

 

Edit: Masters of the Air has been in production for ages. I think I first read about it 15 years ago. Hopefully it'll see the light of day.

I think I have posted this before on some thread or other. My late mum loved war films, and me and the wife told her that BoB was the ultimate and that she would absolutely adore it , and bought her the box set and a dvd player for Xmas. When we asked what she thought of it she was lukewarm at best and me and the wife were gutted. She didn't even appear to understand what we were talking about re the last cemetery scene so we investigated further.We finally worked out that she had not mastered the art of following on with the second episode on each disc , and had therefore only seen episodes 1,3,5,7,9 and 11 and not even seen the ending.

This is just superb:

 

When Germany surrendered, Ed and his men of Easy Company entered Hitler's Eagle's Nest where Ed managed to acquire a few bottles of cognac, a label indicating they were "for the Fuhrer's use only." Later, he would use the cognac to toast his oldest son's Bar Mitzvah.
