Summary: Band of Brothers
Comment: Come watch this movie to learn about the heroes of World War II. They truly are the greatest generation. Without their sacrifice and heroism we as a nation would not exist nor the citizenry of Europe. A must see for those who want to know what WWII was like in both U.S. and abroad. Highly recommended!

Summary: A landmark television miniseries
Comment: Band of Brothers is an absolutely superb television miniseries. It's based on the excellent Stephen E. Ambrose non-fiction book of the same name. This series follows the airborne unit Easy Company in World War II. It was originally broadcast on HBO.
The episodes contain clips (usually right in the beginning of the episode) of actual Easy Company veterans. The episodes are excellent and remarkably well made. The miniseries was produced by Stephen Spielberg and Tom Hanks after their collaboration on Saving Private Ryan. The episodes contain a high degree of historical accuracy and are of movie quality.
The miniseries begins in Camp Tocca, Georgia in 1942 when Easy Company begins boot-camp in preparation for World War II. It follows them through D-Day, Operation Market-Garden, Bastogne, a discovery of a Nazi concentration camp, and eventually the Eagle's Nest in Germany. The series consists of the following ten episodes, with each one about one hour in length:
Part 1 - Currahee
Part 2 - Day of Days
Part 3 - Carentan
Part 4 - Replacements
Part 5 - Crossroads
Part 6 - Bastogne
Part 7 - The Breaking Point
Part 8 - The Last Patrol
Part 9 - Why We Fight
Part 10 - Points
The episodes come on six DVD's, with a seventh DVD that contains a great documentary on Easy Company. The documentary is excellent. I recommend watching the documentary after you watch the series. It's very enjoyable to see the actual veterans after you have watched the series and gotten to know them a little bit.
This is a landmark television miniseries that I highly recommend. It also makes a great gift that will surely not disappoint.

Summary: Band of Brothers
Comment: I was disapointted that the cd's did not come in the original metal container, they were just slapped together in little plastic containers. The additional cd telling how they made the movie and personal interviews was also not included.

Summary: One of my top Ten war movie(s)
Comment: I first saw this mini series in bits and pieces. I knew it was good, but seeing it from beging to end, I believe it is absolutely great. It is a great tribute to the veterans of World War II. This series is well worth the time spent watching.
