Dick Winters and Easy Company weren’t First to Berchtesgaden | Band of Brothers True Story WW2
Band of Brothers' final episode "Points" depicts the men of Easy Company of the 2nd Battalion of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division racing for the German mountain town of Berchtesgaden at the end of World War 2. Unlike what's seen in the HBO miniseries, the true story reveals that the 101st Airborne Division did not win the race to Berchtesgaden and get first pick of the Nazi loot.
In this video, we explain who actually got to Berchtesgaden first and was first to explore locations like Hitler's Eagle's Nest and the homes of Adolf Hitler and Herrman Goring. We also explain why both the Band of Brothers miniseries and the Stephen Ambrose book on which it is based ...

Operation Mincemeat's Romance vs. the True Story of Jean Leslie
This movie is so bad form a sailing point of view. Might be a fun story they tell but totally inaccurate. Very clear that no one who was involved with this movie has actually an idea about sailing
Henry Jones Junior?
Shitty, crap movie compared to real life. No effort to pass ocean. Just lets seat on pur butts and chill inside the leaking cabin with our slides on. Not reallistic at all. Lots of silly scene to make some money. Leave it.
I have Ankylosing Spondylitis and at 53 it's horrible. I wake up every morning in extreme pain and my back is so stiff. I feel so bad for Mick Mars and I know he lives with extreme pain every day. The best pain medicines and anti-inflammatory medicines don't do nothing. Please pray for Mick.
The movie DOES mention the James Bond connection… you didn’t pay attention.
Read the book and advise you make your own comparisons. JD isn't exaggerating - Hollywood (Netflix) is. Once an author sells a book they lose artistic control and it becomes Hollywood's story and we all know about Hollywood these days.
It's too bad they had to get a foreigner to play Major Winters. Anyway, some guys have what I call exaggerated startle reflex. I'm not sure if that is used in the medical field or not. A dear co-worker who had been in Vietnam had this problem. When I walked by our office if his back was to the door and I kicked the door he would jump 2 ft in the air. He was deer hunting once in a river bottom. It was kind of hot and kind of foggy and he heard a helicopter some place and he had flashbacks. Generally he is well adjusted and has a wonderful life.
Linda história. Como pode alguém dizer que o quê aconteceu não foi como mostram? Não aprendemos nada com os horrores do passado.😢😢
2:46 the 506 wasn't = to Easy Company. Easy company was just one of many companies in the 506. Speirs for instance was D company initially yet was still in the 506
Joel Smallbone your mom 👩. Always.on.my appreciate 🙏 ❤️ county 😊. Tanya

How do we know the German medical staff did not exact revenge on him…
Convenient the Shirley family leaves out that Dr Shirley worked with Lip's son during the writing and had final say at what did and didn't make it kn the final draft.
The greatest generation
I love Guy Ritchie movies. He's definitely a one of a kind director.
Even if dates or little details are wrong or at a different time is still totally fine for a film like this. No idea why this video even exists.
One another interest fact, is that my big sister's husband is related to Leonhard Seppala and named their son after him.
Everyone is missing out on how funny the song choice is…I’m dying
Why did he sell out? Probably because of an inferiority complex from growing up poor. Sorry it's not an excuse
In with the #78 👍... Wow thanks for following thru with sorting out the fact from fiction. Keeping it real "Cotton Bailer" Style!!!
I would like to see this film.
Can you do side by side photos of all real life soldiers vs actors of band of brothers?
It will be done at some point, either as a video, an article, or both.
@@HistoryvsHollywoodOfficial thanks!
Yep And didn’t even go to a death camp either
Is no one going to mention that this isnt a Hollywood movie??
seems this is where Quentin really got inspiration for his version.
Similar story line but in Inglorious Bastards they were all Americans not British. Both great hilarious movies btw.
Typical hollyweird. Cant get any story right.
💙
Great video. It answered so many questions.
There used to be US AFRC (Armed Forces Recreation Center) lodging in the Berchtergadener Hof. I believe it shut down in 1992. I stayed there several nights.
Me2.
Gee oh gosh, this didn't age all that well, did it! Now (in the presidential campaign year of 2024) that we know that JD Vance's "Hillbilly Elegy" itself was far, very far from any semblance of "historical fact," maybe the creators of this channel might want to add an additional channel entitled "History-ish vs. Hollywood" or with some such more honest moniker? Vance's self-dealing Horatio Alger style of a "curated" autobiographical-ish best seller was just one paving stone in the massively constructed groundwork to be Cult-45's wannabe torch bearer after the Dear Leader dies in prison (one can always hope against hope?)... And Ron Howard has "tweaked" historical fact many times before this film in order to craft one more formulaic Hollywood box-office hit after another. Remember "A Beautiful Mind" wherein Ronny miraculously made the homosexual (in real, historical, actual life) genius mathematician into the pensive yet heterosexual heartthrob portrayed by Russell Crowe?
honestly I don't blame dr shirley for having a strain relationship with his fam, now when they start trying to twiat things
When an actress has huge fake lips in a period piece, I just can't take it seriously. Same for huge steroid muscles, white teeth veneers, and men with full heads of hair due to finasteride or hair transplants.
I never knew Richtofen was a real person .... i play bo zombie but never knew he was real person
Umm, the series had made quite a few serious blunders before this one including getting the deaths of men wrong, which no offense I find much more aggrisous than this. But this is also a solid point in fact.
4:30 - That was around June 1997.
Stephen Ambrose gave us a gift but also had a bad habit of not doing proper research on the stories he was told. From Dick Winters’ perspective, E Company was the first to Berchtesgaden & the Eagle’s Nest. He just didn’t know that the 3rd ID was already there. Also, that photo of Winters and the officers of Easy Company that is often tagged as being at the Eagle’s Nest is not the Eagle’s Nest. Good video!
2024 TIME FOR THE TRUTH!!! A lot of them were just oncontroled murdering bastards and they got their asses kicked by the German paras, ESPECIALLY in the netherlands
"Based on true events", based on historical facts, a true story" = All that follows is B. S.
1:15 not only CGI but also parts from other movies. This is obviously taken from Batte of Britain since it is a CASA spanish build Heinkel from after the war, since they used actual spanish air force planes back in the day to make the movie. A shame that they did not edit the correct optics of the Heinkel 111s engines.
Hollywood has the scripts: fact based hostory, after action reports, 1st person accounts. stoll fuck up everything. Grüße
Yeah, this is the second channel I have come across that corrects a lot of "mistakes" created by Ambrose in his book, mistakes that Hanks and Spielberg should have picked up on with just a little fact finding..........but being Hollywood, they took "artistic licence" to make a movie.
Great facts . Thank you for sharing . I really didn't know about the purpose of the green book . Thank you
The 506th isnt referred to as Easy company. E co is referred to as easy company.
Smoke rises.
Seems like the title of the 7th Infantry Regiment's unit history _"From Fedala to Berchtesgaden"_ was a deliberate call to attention that they were the first in. Highly recommended read for anyone interested in older source material (it can be downloaded for free on the digital archives).
God places a hole in our hearts at birth, that NOTHING can fill but JESUS, no alcohol, drugs, sex, marriage, mansions, luxury cars, Only JESUS. Seems Jesus maybe Coming back Soon and Very Soon, We ALL must be ready for His Arrival! Come Today!
The side by sides are definitely appreciated 👌
I'll vote for this film also. Bottom line...it was a wonderful discovery and 2 hours of fun.
This Generation is OWED SO MUCH BY SOOO MANY!!! Remember, concept of Combined Warfare was BRAND SPANKING NEW, and these men were the Guinea Pigs to "IRON OUT" problems, usually at high Casualty rates. Not ALL their Leaders were as Good as Capt/Major Winters, there were a LOT OF Duds in the ranks. There were a LOT of "Old Soldiers" who didn't buy in on the ideas(resisted change altogether) of Artillery/Armor/Infantry working together, and resisted the "new fangled ideas" put forth. These men are my heroes, and I feel everyone that followed them, owe them so much!!! THEY LITERALLY SAVED THE WORLD!!! As a former E-6 SF Medic, I remain in TOTAL AWE of these GIANTS!!! They BLAZED THE PATH for the rest of us to follow.
Great Video, thank you!
