In Eindhoven, Winters, Welsh and the other officers are turning over their collars to hide their insignias of rank, in case of a sniper. Shooting the officers would cause the most mayhem in the enemy’s camp. At 23:07, bottom left corner of the screen when Talbert is told to move, we can briefly spot an actual Easy Company veteran having a little cameo, the old gentleman with the beret waving a flag. After filming this, one of his best friends started calling him Hollywood. When they meet the man hiding in his basement, Webster is speaking German. What he tells the man is roughly “Get out, hands up, quickly.” When Lt Brewer gets shot in the neck while they’re approaching the next town, the medic that goes to assist him (and soon gets shot too) is a man called Al Mampre. He’s not pictured or mentioned in the show, but here’s his recounting of the events. “I lie down next to him. . . and I said, in my best bedside manner, I said, ‘Lieutenant, are you dead? Because if you are, I’m leaving.’ “He croaked out, ‘No, but I don’t know why not.’ I said, ‘OK, I’ll stay with you.’ ” Moments later, Mampre is shot in the leg, but he gives himself a shot of morphine and continues taking care of Brewer. In WW2, a battalion of ~500 men would have perhaps 30 medics or so. Eindhoven was the first city that was liberated, where they were waving flags and the women kissing the men. It was subsequently bombed by the Germans. Bull was injured and hid in Nuenen, the next town they tried to take.
