During the assault on the dike, the red smoke is some artistic liberty taken by the show. In reality the men all started running at the same time, but Winters was an exceptional athlete who simply outran the rest of his company, and according to some others who heard him talk about the combat later that day, he felt hyper-focused, and it seemed to him that everyone else was moving in slow motion. The shout "Wahai Mohammed!" by the British Red Devils originates from a campaign in Tunisia, where some of these men saw a local man shouting at his donkey to get him to move. The Brits took a fun liking to the cry, turning it into a rallying cry of their own, used both in battle and in bar fights - they were quite fond of getting into kerfuffles with the US Airborne guys. It was said that if any Red Devil heard the cry while carousing around town, he'd drop everything and anything he was doing to go find where it came from and jump into the fray. Moose Heyliger claimed that, for the rest of his life, he could not remember what the challenge response should have been when the sentry shouted out to him before shooting him. I guess when you're a sentry and might be nervous a bit, hearing "IT'S MOOSE!" might easily be mistaken for some German words. When Guarnere comes back limping with the letter from Moose, and Winters tells him "No more joyriding," it refers to an incident not shown in the episodes, happening some time between Ep4 and Ep5. Guarnere was leading some men along the front lines along the Rhine, they were spread over almost a mile, so to make his task easier of going up and down, he stole a motorcycle from a nearby farm, but a German sniper took a shot at him and hit him the right leg, fracturing the tibia. Guarnere was sent back to England, but not wanting to be reassigned to another unit (which could happen if you were away too long) he put some black boot polish over his cast and tried walking out of the hospital, but was caught and forced to stay. He told the docs he'd just go AWOL at the first chance he got. He was eventually allowed to leave, but was busted back to Private for his behavior. However the paperwork never made it back to Easy Company so he rejoined it with his rank of Sergeant. Winters' trip to Paris and his episode in the subway is one of the best depicitions of PTSD I've ever seen on tv. Back then, it was called "battle fatigue", nobody realizing how much more severe it could be than just being "tired of fighting." Lt Rice who drives the jeep with the ammo at the end (did you recognize Jimmy Fallon?) made several ammo runs to supply Easy Company as much as he could, until he was ordered to stop by his superiors, as the Germans had already encircled the place. He was awarded a Bronze Star for this. Jimmy Fallon, not being a good stick shift driver, and being nervous acting for Tom Hanks, who was directing this episode, couldn't get the jeep into gear and needed to have 2 guys push the vehicle to get it moving. Hope you enjoy these little bits of additional info, and I'm very much looking forward to watch your next reactions. You're getting into the awesome part of this show now, Eps 6-7-9-10 are some absolute bangers!

Thank you for that additional detail.
