This one is heavy. I ended up majoring in history in college, with a focus on WW2 and, in particular, the Holocaust. My grandfather fought in WW2 and died of cancer when I was 15 so I never got to really talk to him about it. My dad told me a few years back that when he went home to visit, he and his dad went to a bar in town and his dad had a couple too many and actually started opening up about his war experience, which I guess he didn't talk about much, and told my dad that his unit actually came across and liberated a concentration camp. My dad said that was the first and only time he ever heard my grandfather talk about it. It just haunted him for the rest of his life, which is wild because he was only about 19 or 20 when he was in WW2.

Dude, you guys are awesome for this! Now I know what I’m doing with my afternoon! I have to watch the University of Tennessee volunteers football game, of course. But then it’s a double whammy of the greatest masterpiece ever produced on screen!

C Russ

So you’ll notice that there is a gentleman that asks Nixon if he wants a handkerchief the next day when they come back to the camp. He’s actually wearing a 12th armored patch, which is a bit of an Easter egg. It was actually the 12th armored that had arrived initially to find the camp and easy company was close behind. 12th armored division discovered the camp “Kaufering IV” on April 27th, 1945.

I think it’s also pretty awesome that y’all decided to watch Peaky Blinders at the same time as this. Glad we were able to to get through season two at least before you got to episode nine and saw a baby face Tom Hardy. Lol!

I believe this may be the most well written episode of the series. They start off the show by showing all of the lesser characteristics of the men. They try to show you that these are not perfect men and they have their vices and imperfections. George Luz fraternizing with the local girl, Perconte getting angry easily with O’Keefe, Nixon and his drinking problem, Speirs and his looting tendencies etc. but by the mid to end of the episode, all of these minor imperfections seem like grains of sand, compared to the atrocity that they would discover. It’s an amazing juxtaposition between the two sides. Just another reason why this episode is phenomenal. Also I have heard that the actors never saw the concentration camps set the scene where they stumble upon it. They also used cancer, patients and others of the like as the imprisoned. Pretty incredible touch. It’s been awesome to take this ride with you guys. I’m enjoying these final two episodes as we speak. I hope it’s OK that I leave multiple comments things just come to me as I’m watching. Take care you guys! I wish you all a happy WWE PLE tonight!!

Also, don’t feel bad if you didn’t notice, a lot of people don’t & I didn’t until I was made aware, but Tom Hanks is actually the soldier (French I think) who shot the two German soldiers as the US caravan was driving by.

Nanette Davis

Lipton was discharged as an enlisted soldier and then reinstated as an officer -- I believe that is how they handle promoting someone to an officer in the Army. The 2 soldiers that shot the Germans in the head as Easy drove by were French soldiers -- they had a lot to be angry about. Also one of the French soldiers was Tom Hanks being an extra. Pause it and you will see him.

If you’re looking for interviews with the actors years later, The National WWII Museum and American Veterans Center YouTube channels have a bunch of them. The WWII Museum actually did a whole symposium that featured a bunch of the actors and writers. They all speak about how impactful the show was on them and how it changed their lives.

Charity Konusser (the chonus)

Yeah, this is all true - they didn't show the BoB actors the camp (not even the ones who see it on patrol) until they arrive at it with the full company. The actors' responses to what they're seeing for the first time is as real as the production could make it. They didn't tell the actors playing Easy Company that the production had hired cancer patients (many of them terminal) to play the concentration camp's survivors, to make them look as realistic as possible. The producers were originally apprehensive that the patients wouldn't want to take part, but every one of them very much did -- Germany teaches the ugly history of the Holocaust to its own citizens far more than any other country, and the German actors playing the camp survivors here wanted to help tell the story. The ones you see stacked up in the wooden beds in the hut were patients who wanted to take part in the production but were too weak to walk. I agree it's probably the most well-written and well-shot of the series (along with Bastogne/Breaking Point which I think of as one large episode), with the men's less honorable or virtuous sides on display at the beginning -- but there's also a haunting symmetry to the townspeople clearing up the town in the opening scene (which comes after the camp in linear time), putting sticks of wood on carts, digging in dirt, etc., which is basically mirroring what the townspeople did in the camp, but with human bodies. It's not an accident that the final shot is of the violin case being closed -- back then, violin cases didn't mirror the shape of the instrument as they do now -- they looked like coffins.

Another thing that makes pairing these two shows interesting is that Damian Lewis (Dick Winters) was married to Helen McCrory (Aunt Polly) for fourteen years, until her death.

you got to watch Schindler's List now

Presence Unknown

The youtube channel American Veterans Center has several interviews with the actors talking about their experience with Band of Brothers

Flubbedsquid

As to what Oak said about the importance of these roles for the actors, I feel that. You guys went into the series recognizing a lot of actors, but for me, it was the opposite. Whenever I see Damian Lewis I immediately think of him as Captain Winters. It's such a legendary role in a legendary series. The real Winters has a statue built of him in Europe, and in a way it feels a bit wrong that my go-to visualization of a man of that level of greatness is of an actor rather than the man himself. But I suppose that's a consequence of having these stories shown to us, and it's better that they are than not. And a part of it is what a great job they did, too. If you watch the documentary that accompanies this series, that has a lot more interviews with the veterans, you can tell some of the actors really hit the nail on the head in portraying these guys' personality. All of these actors in the show will forever represent the men of Easy company to me.

Culper (Lukas)

Do you mean the guy at the 28-minute mark, the one who shoots the Germans? It looks like him, but that's not him. If I am not mistaken, Hanks was one of the Red Devils in episode 5.

C. J. Ramirez

Saddest episode. Until I watched this I didn’t know we didn’t know about concentration camps until we went into Germany

Robert Durant

Yeah the camps and the Holocaust in general as far as our guys were concerned was like an afterthought. Most of them had no clue what was really going on and i love that this series keeps the reveal of the camps to the very end. Most of us who watched this show the first time were focused on all the battles and the stories of the men and when we get to this point with the reveal of the Holocaust we forget all that was going on behind the scenes. Why we fight indeed.

C Russ

Absolutely beautiful touch! Another profound moment is when Nixon corrected Lee got that it wasn’t Mozart, but Beethoven that they were hearing. As I believe Beethoven was German, making it clear that not everything from the German culture is awful.

hex1c

Never seen the guys so emotional before and I think it's a good thing. Reactors that can show true emotions and feelings are the best ones. I always cry when I watch this episode as it's so beyond what I thought humans was capable of.

C. J. Ramirez

I thought that was part the reason we were going in the first place to save them but I guess not

Paul Yu

This episode always hits me hard every time I rewatch the series. I always get choked up during the concentration camp scenes. It reminds me of a quote I have heard somewhere, “Man’s inhumanity to man”.

Amy Lewis

We knew that the Germans had prison camps named “concentration camps” beforehand - if you watch Casablanca, which came out in 1942, one of the main plot points is that Victor Laszlo is a resistance leader who has escaped from a concentration camp. But it seems we thought they were like our (US) internment camps at that point, which, while terrible for other reasons, at least were intended to keep all the prisoners alive. The idea of working the prisoners until starvation or death and mass slaughter in the death camps was nowhere in our minds until the allied soldiers started finding them.

Donna Castellano

The Germans also had forced work camps during World War I. It's a big part of why no one thought much of it when the Germans were rounding people up and putting them into camps in WWII. So I do believe some of the general public didn't actually know about DEATH camps. The ones living really close to those locations, however, is a little harder for me to believe they didn't.

Donna Castellano

This is the only almost fully fictional episode of BoB. The writer of this episode talked about it (at the 25th anniversary BoB Symposium) and why they stepped away from truth so much with what Easy experienced, he said they knew they HAD to address the camps. They couldn't do a WWII series and NOT acknowledge that aspect of it.

The camp depicted in this episode is supposed to be Kaufering, which is a sub camp of Dachau. Dachau is on the outskirts of Munich and Kaufering is in Landsberg, they’re about 60 km (about 37 miles) apart. My 8th grade year, my small class of about 40 got to meet Eva Kor, who was a Holocaust survivor from Auschwitz. She was a twin who was experimented on there by Joseph Mengele. She lived in Indiana, which is where I’m from, and her story was horrifying and also incredible. That year we also went to the Holocaust museum in DC on our 8th grade field trip, and it was a very difficult and upsetting experience. A couple of years ago I went to Dachau, and that was probably the most upsetting and disturbing experience of my life. I hate to even say that, because my “experience” there was absolutely nothing compared to the people who were imprisoned and died there. Our plan was to also visit Auschwitz in Poland, but after Dachau, I didn’t think I’d be able to handle going to Auschwitz just yet. I regret now that I didn’t go then, because it’s pretty pathetic I couldn’t handle a couple of hours of being uncomfortable and upset when the people who were sent there were put through a hell of a lot worse. Anyways, sorry for the long comment, but ever since I met Eva, I’ve been engrossed with Holocaust and WWII history. I had probably watched every documentary, movie, or film related to the topic, but after visiting Dachau, my cousins had asked me if I’d seen Band of Brothers. I hadn’t and I had never even heard of it. They asked because the camp in episode 9 was, as I mentioned above, supposed to be a sub-camp of Dachau. I promptly watched BoB and it’s my absolute favorite series of all time so thanks for reacting to it!

Brian Albright

That movie wrecks me every time. I know the guys would be an emotional wreck afterwards too. Would love their reaction.

Kirstine Aaen

First time I watched this, Netflix spoiled it for me! They've put it right there in the description: "E Company find a concentration camp". I HATE that! F*** you, Netflix. You took a lot out of the experience for me, just like Quinn said near the end there. Anyway, this was the episode reaction I was looking most forward to, morbid as that is. I know it hits the hardest out of all 10 episodes.

Amy Lewis

I watched it once and don’t think I could watch it again. It was a masterful film for the emotions it takes you through, but that same mastery also makes it a difficult rewatch.

Kat M.

I went to the Holocaust Museum when I was in Berlin. It helps paint thru timeline facts how one act lead to another and then another, etc, all leading up to the Holocaust. It imprints on you how extreme things don't just happen overnight, but it's the slow decay through acceptance of a little hate in beginning. The impact stays with me.

RogueOstriches7

I live near D.C. and I went to the Holocaust Museum twice. Once in highschool, once just 2 years ago when my aunt was visiting. Both times I walked away with just the biggest pit in my stomach. I know the EXACT bridge of shoes you're talking about Oak. I've never forgotten it and I never will. You get a "passport" too that is of an actual person that was in a camp. The first time...my person didn't make it. The second time they did but their story was a tough one no matter what. We can not forget this happened. We can't allow the conspiracy theorist convince people this was fake. We must always fight this kind of hatred and bigotry. It hurts too much...

justin

My mom took me to Dachau as a child, it was haunting, but helped shape me and give me empathy. Oak is right, it does feel odd saying "I recommend" to going to such places, as if it were a bar or a restaurant, but everyone should try to visit a museum or the like. It is hard, but it is a life shaping thing.

Bartimaeus

Yeah, to add on to the writing, the semi-focus on Nixon, I thought during a rewatch, was to give a perspective or really a juxtaposition. All of what he was going through from the start; him being upset from the jump, getting demoted, his wife divorcing him and taking everything, him not finding his only brand of whiskey-- it was like all that didn't seem to matter anymore when they discovered the camp. When Winters asked Nix, "I thought you weren't drinking the local?" and Nix said, "Yeah, well." The brand of drink he wanted didn't matter much now.

Jim

I'm a grown man, and even though I know exactly what's coming. I still shed a tear every time I watch episode 9.
