Fantastic reaction again, I'm glad you're enjoying this amazing piece of history! When Winters and the handful of guys he assembled come up on the dead paratrooper hanging from a tree, there's a big whooshing sound overhead and the subtitles say it's [planes soaring] but in fact, that noise is made by the massive shells fired from the battleships off the coast, projectiles weighing 2700lbs reaching out up to 24 miles away. The battleship USS Texas, a few days after D-Day, even flooded some compartments on one side of the ship to gain a few more degrees of elevation on their guns, in order to reach even further inland! On D-Day, especially concerning the paratroopers, they didn't have the resources yet to handle prisoners in the early phase of the invasion, which is why they typically didn't take any. Lt Speirs actually shot a group of them because they couldn't spare the manpower needed to guard them. Malarkey meeting the German prisoner actually happened, but the man was from Portland, not Eugene (unsure why they felt the need to change that in the show). However, Malarkey and the man actually worked right across the street from each other, they found out as they spoke. The distance between them was changed in the show, because it would have been too unbelievable for the audience otherwise, to be told they worked across the street from each other. There are 2 guys from Easy looking for a Luger, Hoobler seen in the first episode, trying to walk away with the fake German's gun at the airfield, and in this episode here Malarkey, running out into the firefight to check the dead Germans. Speaking of that scene, to simulate the bullet impacts in the ground, there were tiny amounts of explosive buried in the mud, and when he was running back, Scott Grimes, who plays Malarkey, was not meant to slip and fall, this was an accident. But he knew he might be laying right over some of those explosives that could pop out any moment, so the look of fright on his face isn't faked at all. If you watch the assault on the trenches again, keep an eye on Buck Compton. During his jump, he lost his machine gun, and acquired another one after landing, but he didn't test fire it, and unbeknownst to him, the firing pin was broken, leaving him unable to shoot the gun. That's why he keeps messing with it at first, taking the mag out, cycling it, always asking someone else to cover them. When Nixon tells Winters that he "sent the map to division", in fact Nixon ran the map himself, about 3 miles back to Utah beach, because he understood the importance of the information on it - all the German artillery pieces in Normandy. The high command back on the beach was so grateful for this piece of intelligence that, as a manner of thanks, they sent the first two Sherman tanks rolling off the beach to reinforce the 101st. These 2 tanks were used to flush out the remaining Germans at Brecourt Manor. Those are the 2 tanks we see Nixon riding on after the attack on the trenches. About Utah beach: Later in life, a lot of vets wrote books about their experiences of the war, and in some of these books, their accounts of the attack on Brecourt Manor can be found. One of these vets was once contacted by man named Eliot Richardson, who would later become an attorney general in the Nixon administration, but was at the time a medic landing on Utah Beach on D-Day. Upon reading these books, he finally understood the reason why the artillery barrage had suddenly ceased on the beach that day, and reached out to some E-company vets to thank them for most likely saving his life, and so many more. I hope you enjoy these little bits of extra info :) And now I'm off to watch your 3x11 Wire react!
