- QuizSome scenes showing Capt. Sobel's incompetence and pettiness actually happened. Sobel had difficulty reading a map, which led to his getting lost many times in the field. He was also tricked by 'Maj. Horton' into cutting a wire fence, thereby releasing cows. In that instance, the only difference between what happened in real life and in the series was-that the actual event happened at night. Sobel also ran around exercises and rifle ranges with a leather aviation jacket. He went through the men's footlockers and confiscated allege "'contraband" and scattered their possessions. Sobel would also pick on soldiers, gigging them for the smallest of infractions or ones he just made up, like having dirty ears. The feud between Capt. Sobel and Lt. Winters, where the former altered the time of inspection and charged Winters with failure to carry out orders, did play out as shown. What was left out was, that Strayer and his staff found a legal loophole that got Sobel's charges set aside. Sobel followed it up by charging Winters with failure to ensure that the soldier cleaning the latrine was not properly shaved. That charge was also set aside but it also got the mutiny going. There were other acts that were not shown in the series; on a night exercise, Sobel and 1st Sgt. Evans decided to teach the importance of soldiers guarding their weapons as they slept by stealing about 50 rifles from sleeping troopers. Come morning the two assembled the company, chastising them for their failures. They were interrupted by angry members of Fox Company. The two thieves got lost, went into the wrong camp and stole the rifles from the wrong men. In another night exercise, Easy Company was lying in ambush. A wind came through the woods and ruffled the branches, leaves and grass. Sobel panicked and began shouting, "Here they come!'", thereby giving away Easy's position.
- BlooperDuring "Curahee" in the scene where Easy Co. is receiving a lecture, there are various German weapons on the wall. One of them is an Stg 44, not used in combat until 1944. Thus, it is impossible that the Americans had captured one in 1942-43.
- Citazioni
George Luz: [reading aloud Col. Sink's announcement of the impending jump into Normandy] "Soldiers of the Regiment! Tonight is the night of nights. Today, as you read this, you are en route to the great adventure for which you have trained for over two years."
Bill Guarnere: So that's why they gave us ice cream.
So far it gets rhe job done, by introducing us to the characters doing training, so that we can get to know them in a more calm and controlled environment before everything goes crazy!
There are a lot of characters but I still feel like i got to know them by the end, and they managed to stick out with their different personality! We see how they respond to the harsh training they had to endure!
Sobel was a great addition as this imperfect drill sergent!
The episode also got a bit emotional at times, giving us a taste of what propably lies ahead!
Production value is also incredible! It may be a mini series but looks and feels like a movie!
Give this a try if you, like me, still haven't!
