Band of Brothers (Best Mini - Series ever) on VHS
When Richard Winter's grandson asked him if he was a hero in the war he said," No, but I served with a company of heroes."
Richard Winters and his Band of Brothers was one of the best mini-series or tv shows ever. The Golden Globe winner deserves all the good reviews in the world. This epic portays the envolement of the 506th Divison and the 101st Airbourne in World War II. Within the 101st it focuses on Easy Co. From D-Day to Operation Market-Garden, to taking of the Eagle's Nest I enjoyed every last minute of this series. The acting and directing of this series was amazing. The 5-time Emmy Winner Band of Brothers, had great acting by Damian Lewis (Maj. Richard Winters), Ron Livingston (Capt. Lewis Nixon), Frank John Hughes (Staff Sgt. Bill Guarnere), David Schwimmer (Capt. Herbert Sobel), and Donnie Wahlberg (2nd Lt. Carwood Lipton), just to name a few. Directing by Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg was amazing as usual. The special affects in this movie were great. From Bastonge to Berlin it looked like I was in the war. If you listen to storys of what happened you would know that the BOB was accurate to the minute. This series gave me more of a understanding about what people went through during the greastest war of all time. The 10-part Band of Brothers is truly a national treasure, and again one of the best shows I have ever seen. Always remember there motto, "CURRAHEE!"

Become one of the...'Happy few.'
Band of Brothers is the best pure war movie ever made. In terms of bringing combat to its viewers, Band of Brothers has little or no competition. The dirt, death and despair of real fighting are vividly portrayed in an aggressive but accurate manner. It covers the actions of E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division, from their beginnings at Camp Toccoa, through western Europe and finally to victory over the Nazi regime. Historical detail was a key interest in the making of this ten part series. Many first hand accounts were used to support the on-screen drama. Some complained that the section involving E Company's seizure of Hitler's Aldershorst was inaccurate. It is true that E Company was not the first allied unit to occupy the Eagle's Nest. But this small discrepancy is one of a very few that I found in the film. So overall I rate its accuracy highly. If you want an engrossing, heroic and epic story about the allied triumph in World War Two, then Band of Brothers is your film.

Who did save Europe?
I have seen this mini-series and like every movie that will ever be made by any film maker (US, Ireland, China, Germany, etc…) it is not an accurate account of what really happen. If the US did not save Europe who did? Was it the Russians, the French, the German’s? I forgot the German’s where conquering Europe. Ireland, who did HELP save Europe? Any way, I am thankful and grateful for all who fought to free Europe and the rest of the countries in this world. I am a naturalized citizen and retired member of the Arm Forces of the USA, who with out their sacrifices I would have not been able to come to this great, wounderful, and giving nation I call my home. It also shows the stupidity of the leadership of all nations, but most of all it shows the prize that Americans paid for the freedom we have today. God bless all those who fight for freedom. This is what this movie is all about, FREEDOM!
