I just noticed that Morarti from Sherlock is in this playing an American soldier.

Hi, Natalie. Glad you're watching this series, and I love your reactions to this and Episode 1. You picked up on some points that were not intuitive but were important, related to Winters' great qualities as a leader and the impact of the chaos on the paratroopers. When Speirs shot the POWs, it was not out of bloodlust or hatred; it was a completely rational and pragmatic action, although it was also cold-blooded and a war crime. He just knew that in their circumstances they had no way to safely guard a crowd of POWs and no way to turn them over to a higher command, since they weren't in physical contact with any, and they were still going into more active combat and couldn't spare any soldiers to guard the prisoners. So he eliminated the prisoners. This was something that has always happened a lot more than it's been acknowledged in warfare. Dick Winters was an absolutely brilliant leader, both in terms of his tactical thinking and his looking out for his soldiers - things like, as you pointed out, helping each one up onto his feet to board the plane, shaking hands and making solid eye contact with each one, then working to help them manage their fear and keep their morale up with things like telling Hall to keep his eyes peeled for trees, then telling him they weren't lost, they were in Normandy. Colonel Sink actually nominated Winters for the Medal of Honor, the highest award and honor a military person can receive, for carrying out a literal textbook assault on the German artillery position, right after unexpectedly taking over the company. The usual military math calls for the attackers to outnumber the defenders at least three to one - here, instead, Winters' force were themselves outnumbered by the Germans by four or five to one. He deserved the MOH, I think. Now add the fact that this was Easy Company's first day in actual combat, and the troops they were attacking were veterans. It's no wonder his soldiers would have followed him anywhere. I would have, and so would almost all of the Marines I served with, if Winters had gone where he was supposed to go and joined the Marine Corps instead (I served one joint tour with several folks from the Army and some more from the Air Force, and we liked to razz them and tell them they belonged in the Corps - they were too good for those services and had made a mistake when they joined up - and besides, our dress uniforms were snappier.) The Awards Gods decided to downgrade Col. Sink's recommendation from the Medal of Honor to that Distinguished Service Cross - still the second highest medal our military had then and has now to award to people.

I recommend Letters from Iwo Jima its about the Japanese perspective during ww2 really good movie with a lot of insight on how the war was viewed on their side. It's also a companion movie to Flags of Our Fathers the American perspective of the same battle.

The whole “all true aryans return to the motherland” idea is something I didn’t know about and eerily parallels an idea behind a nation presently involved in conflict. Violence and the way people utilise it really is cyclical :/

So the scene with the German soldier from Oregon… First he didn’t just leave America and join the German side to fight when the war started. His parents were German and had moved to America and before the war started moved back cause Hitler called all Germans to come home and fight for their cause. So he probably was forced to join after having to move back to Germany with his parents even though he was born in America. Second I think the scene is to show that the soldiers on both sides were probably closer alike to each other than they thought. They weren’t exactly told I’m sure when they were forced to join and fight for Germany they were gonna be slaughtering millions. They were just following orders and fighting for their country just like the Americans or any other country (not to say there weren’t horrible people that wanted to do those things). It’s just what they were fighting for was horrible and I’m sure they found that out eventually
