kennprop A very well done WW2 series based on a Stephen Ambrose book. The reasons these men volunteered are various. I dont think the average soldier had a choice. For some reason the U S is stuck on D Day. My father who was drafted early had already fought thru N Africa, Sicily, Salerno, and he was at Monte Cassino. D Day was not the first invasion of Europe. It as not the first opening of a second front. These paratroopers were late to the game. I think the WW2 generation was the last to fight the goodfight. Nobody was as evil as the Nazi regime. The Soviet state was pretty bad but they did do most of the fighting in WW2 and suffered most of the casualties. The detail and sets of BB are really excellent. I wonder why most of the actors are British? Damian Lewis has made a career of playing Americans and he does it well. The actors in this do a fine job of being American.??!! I only recently stadted watching this and realistic non fiction is better than fiction like Saving Private Ryan. We should honor these vets and recreating their deeds does that.

dinhphuccdt I watch it every year. Together with The Pacific. It's the first war series that make me fall in love with this category. The best ever.

IntegrateDan Band of Brothers is the truest depiction of WWII I have seen to date.

yk_patel It is so real that you feel you're there with these heroes in the war! What they did in Bastogne is unbelievable. Now that I've watched it, I feel that what we call problems are nothing. Evolution of Major Winters is amazing. The way he matured with getting more power to himself is really inspiring. This series, Saving Private Ryan and Dunkirk are things would wanna watch if you really wanna know what it means to go through war.
