Best WWII Mini-Series 
2008-07-06
By far the best WWII mini-series. Production qualities are excellent. Acting at times is weak, but main actors do cause you to empathize with their characters, and draw you in to the story.
Excellent, Excellent 2008-07-05
This is a wonderful series. If the language were a little cleaner it is an excellent classroom teaching tool. The two episodes over the Battle of the Bulge were really well done.

Essential Introduction to the Greatest Generation To the Next Generation 2008-07-18
Band of Brothers takes us from Boot camp through the great battles of the European Theater of operations to the final Victory against Hitler's Third Reich. Along the way, we see these Band of Brothers (from Shakespeare's famous speech in Henry V - "We few, we happy few, we band of brothers...") as land at Normandy, weather the onslaught of Bastogne, cross into Germany, liberate a concentration camp and finish their tour of duty in Victory.
Each man is carefully studied archetype in American society from the tough mouthed city boys to more buoyant Midwestern toughs. The new officers must suffer the looks and doubts of the experienced dogfaces while the veteran officers must fulfill their missions - all the while dreading the loss of men that they have come to know and respect. We feel their hopes and dreams. We hope that they live to fulfill these dreams.
In perilous times such as the present fight against terrorism this DVD set is a fitting introduction and education that the threat of National Socialism and Radical Islam requires our attention, devotion and sacrifice now and for the Next Generation.
Watch the show with your family, including the children old enough to understand. Take the time to explain the history and threat. To give context to the duty of the soldiers to our Country. The reason for the genocide against the Jews. The need for future vigilance,

BEST MOVIE ABOUT WORLD WAR II 2008-07-08
I teach American History in high school and this DVD gets the point across to students in a way that no documentary or the standard two-hour movie.
The strongest points of the movie is it is completely true and story-lines not inserted to make it appealing to the public and it does not create super hero types though Major Winters and Mathew Settle's character showed the true spirit and toughness of the American GI.
I do not mean to single out those two as more heroic because Richard Winters sums up the role of every man in Easy company with his parting letter to his grandchild. Anyone not moved by Winter's letter has no heart nor understands how war bonds men.
I knew a man who was a paratrooper, not in Easy Company, who was twenty-five years older than me and we spent hours talking about his experiences after D-Day and the march into Germany. He was another silent hero and told me that he had never talked to anyone about his experiences in World War II until he crossed my path.
His name was Dick Morgan and we met in Savannah, Ga. in the early 1970s. At that time, he was selling office products and I was one of his customers. He tolerated fifteen years of my pulling information out of him. He died in 1988 and since I began teaching school in 1991, I have made a point of every class knowing who Dick Morgan was and what he did during World War II.
He earned that just as all of the veterans of World War II did with their service to our country. Anyone reading this review will have to excuse my addition of Dick to it but he is someone that all Americans owe a huge debt and someone I will never forget.
