This show has really hit its stride with episode 6 last week and 7 this week. The experience here included great losses and some great victories. It kind of took me a little bit to fully get on board with the tone and style of the show emotionally, but this is absolutely fantastic.

Episode 8 starts at 1hr 13min 30sec

Also present at this same battle was an 18 year old Corporal who had the job of searching for mines. He'd grown up in crushing poverty, losing his father when he was just two years old, after which his mother somehow raised him and his three brothers in a tiny Brooklyn apartment on a meager living as a seamstress (he later said "If there's a Heaven, she made it"). Both his parents were from devout Jewish European immigrant families, so he was naturally drawn to fighting the Nazis. One night in Bastogne, the nearby German troops tried to demoralize his company by blasting patriotic German songs, to which he responded by playing Al Jolson records back at them. He took good note of how much this lifted the men's spirits, and after the war he decided to devote his life to using the same approach to make sure no one would ever take the Nazis seriously again. His name: Mel Brooks.

Colin Hanks’ character Hank Jones managed to survive the war, but sadly still never saw America again. He remained in Berlin helping the country rebuild, and was killed in a car accident in 1947.

It's hard to catch, but Simon Pegg's character Evans died in Episode 2 in the same plane with Meehan.

Lt. Dike was done dirty by the seriers. Dirtier than anyone. The man was already a hero, which they don't mention. He was however a replacement CO, that just couldn't gel with Easy at all. What we have here is a _warped_ perspective, because we only have Easy's men memories of him during the Battle of the Bulge. [SPOILERS*] *only for episodes linked above When the assault on Foy collapsed it wasn't because he simply panicked, he was shot (possibly by a sniper) and then the gravity of the situation hit him and panic set in. It's a shame really, becasue as a character in this episode he is one-dimensional: a bad CO you quickly learn to hate. Had there been more sources used at the time of writing the book and making of this show - he would have been a MUCH more complex and interesting character. Today his accomplishments before joining Easy are much more well known, it's an interesting read. [more semi SPOILERS for linked episodes] Oh, and it was hard for me to believe when I learned, but the two people who (supposedly) initiated Easy Company reunions after the war: "Wild" Bill Guarnere and "Mike" Myron N. Ranney. Ranney is only present in the first episode (played by Stephen Graham), during the NCO "mutiny" when Col. Sink tears them a new one and busts Ranney to private... but he was still there: assault on Brecourt manor (second episode) and Market Garden (episode four).

Guarnere was also the only one who made any effort to reconnect with Sobel after the war. And many Easy Company members took issue with how Stephen Ambrose lionized Webster as a “warrior poet” who they unfairly ostracized after he missed the Bulge, describing him as a lazy, arrogant guy who thought his Ivy League education made him better than them.

And yes, Chris, Lt. Foley is played by Jamie Bamber – Lee "Apollo" Adama.

Yes. One of my absolute favourites in the show. From the guy who didn't "want a Quaker (Joe, he doesn't even drink) to do his fighting for him", to a guy mostly responsible for keeping them together after the war.
