101st Airborne Historian Mark Bando Critiques Band of Brothers – Bastogne & The Breaking Point #finsubito agevolazioni

1. I wish Bando’s books were more widely available. They are certainly deserving of being read.

2. Bando knows that the amount of casualties are not indicative of how many fire fights you are in .He is a moron

3. It absolutely boggles my mind why this channel doesn’t have a larger following, considering it is well researched and true…. Although I image the percentage of subscribers who watch your content has to be stupid high. I’ll keep watching as long as you keep producing fantastic and accurate videos.

4. So… basically nothing said in the epilogues was ever true. So weird.

5. Band of Brothers was about EASY Co., not about any other 101st Co.
   Bando sounds jealous of Steven Ambrose's Fame. Ambrose honestly sounds like not the most honest writer there is.

6. My Dad was on the North shoulder with Baker Co, 393 IR, 99 ID, near the Elsenborn Ridge during this episode's time frame. He remarked after viewing the episode, it was a very realistic setting and the tree bursts brought back his memories of that time. Hollywood always strays off the factual path…always. It's Hellywood, after all. 😂 He loved Battleground, as do I.

7. Fantastic as usual. The truth is much more interesting and better and respectful than the Hollywood. I learned (and unlearned alot). Keep it up!

8. Once again your detailed research and compelling storytelling continue to impress.

9. The Battle of the Bulge was a huge battle and included a lot of different units. The Battle of Bastogne is made out to be the center point and most pivotal action of the Battle, when in fact, the Battles that took place in northern Sector were the most pivotal because it was the high ground. The German after action report even stated that it was the failure of them not being able to capture the high ground was what led to the demise of their attack.
   Not to mention that many of the veteran units that fought in the Battle of the Bulge never had any breaks in combat since Normandy unlike the 101st that had no more than 3 months of actual combat action at that point and had 2 breaks from action.

10. Interestingly enough, Eugene berates Welsh and Winters in Replacements after Moose gets wounded for not putting the morphine syrettes on his jacket. So the the series had that correct earlier in terms of the syrettes detail.

11. GREAT episode.
    It's too bad some people can't handle the truth when it comes to their heroes.
    Keep up the great work.

12. 👍👍 Perspective is important.

13. Something you perhaps should have included: Lt. Dike was wounded during the attack on Foy, and didn't just break under pressure, as (somewhat slanderously) depicted in the series. And supposedly, he was considered to be decent leader, by other units he served with before/after easy company, he just didn't gel with Easy co. for whatever reason.

14. Your initial dissertation on the Battle of Bastonge was completely unfair. Band of Brothers was about Easy Company. It was a mini series not a documentary. You don't seem to understand that. The series wasn't made to slight the contributions of any other combatants at Bastogne. Your video was unnecessary.

15. Bando is still salty about not being an adviser. He and Joe Beyerle showed up at the ‘04 Norfolk, VA reunion, which was weird as they both didn’t think much of Easy. He introduced himself to Earl McLung by saying I’ve written several books about the 101st etc etc. Earl just looked at him and smiled.

16. Field medical card used for years in US Army in 80s and 90s and then the field medical cards are add to wounded soldiers medical records. As the wounded 😮soldiers are evacuated to back to field hospital the treatment can be called meatball surgery at the field hospital.

17. The writer of the episode said he wrote about Roe because when he went to a reunion all the men called Eugene an angel and the writer wanted to write about him .

18. About the morphine M and used morphine tube…I think they did both. While serving in a Ranger Battalion in the late 80s we were told to use blood or a marker to write an M on the wounded mans forehead and attach a wounded "feeder card" to the man stating what had been done so far for him. Edit: Love your work, brother!

19. It was a big war, more than 1 paratroop company involved.
    Good episode

20. I so appreciate you showing how so many others fought. That their contribution was just as much if not more then easy company.

21. Thanks for remembering PFC Julian. RIP

22. I swear the more I hear about Dick Winters picking and choosing what he put in the book lessons my memory of him. Maybe no one expected it to be so big, but it was and it deserves the absolute truth.
