    Storyline

    Edit
    This is the story of "E" Easy Company, 506th Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division from their initial training starting in 1942 to the end of World War II. They parachuted behind enemy lines in the early hours of D-Day in support of the landings at Utah beach, participated in the liberation of Carentan and again parachuted into action during Operation Market Garden. They also liberated a concentration camp and were the first to enter Hitler's mountain retreat in Berchtesgaden. A fascinating tale of comradeship that is, in the end, a tale of ordinary men who did extraordinary things. —garykmcd

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Rick Gomez and James Madio bonded during the boot camp training. As the series went on, they found out that their characters had been best friends in real life, too.
    • Goofs
      When the 101st Airborne was sent into Belgium just before the Battle of the Bulge they were ordered to remove the Screaming Eagle patch from their uniforms, so the Germans would not know they were facing an elite division. It was only after the battle when they moved into Hagenau that they were able to wear the patches again.
    • Quotes

      2nd Lt. George Rice: Looks like you guys are going to be surrounded.

      Richard Winters: We're paratroopers, Lieutenant. We're supposed to be surrounded.

    • Alternate versions
      The version of the series run on the History Channel includes edits for some (but not all) graphic violence and profanity.

    Realistic
    I am an 80 year old combat veteran (88th Inf. Div. Italy).

    I watched BOB on the History Channel. I was so overwhelmed, indeed a bit panicked by the authentic nature of 90+% of the uniforms, signs, noises (I take exception to the sound of incoming artillery).

    I cried several times at the authentic staging - for them and me.

    I cannot believe I'll watch it again. It's too much. Too real.

    We never had so much water allowed in a shower.

    FAQ56

    • Is there a second season?
    • Why is this not #1 on IMDb's list over the best movies? Its rating is far above "The Shawshank Redemption".
    • Did everything in the series really happen?
