(birds chirping)

3
00:03:05,089 --> 00:03:07,609
Winters:
It was more than three years
since Lewis Nixon and I

4
00:03:07,610 --> 00:03:09,339
decided to join
the Paratroops,

5
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,139
and more than a year since
we’d first gone to war,

6
00:03:13,990 --> 00:03:15,929
not knowing what
would happen to us,

7
00:03:16,770 --> 00:03:17,990
how long
we’d be fighting,

8
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:20,020
where we’d end up.

9
00:03:21,570 --> 00:03:23,258
I certainly didn’t
expect to find myself

10
00:03:23,259 --> 00:03:24,599
in a place like this.

11
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:30,539
Nixon:
I thought it
might be you.

12
00:03:33,417 --> 00:03:34,877
’Morning.

13
00:03:37,929 --> 00:03:40,059
I heard reports about
a red-headed Eskimo.

14
00:03:42,350 --> 00:03:43,490
Thought I’d
check it out.

15
00:03:45,050 --> 00:03:46,668
Come to join me
for a morning swim?

16
00:03:46,669 --> 00:03:48,461
(laughing)

17
00:03:48,462 --> 00:03:49,797
Yeah.

18
00:03:51,110 --> 00:03:52,618
You know me
so well.

19
00:03:52,619 --> 00:03:55,872
Here,
it’s from Zielinski.

20
00:03:57,291 --> 00:03:59,001
Oh, great.

21
00:04:02,539 --> 00:04:03,399
What is that?

22
00:04:04,389 --> 00:04:06,479
Ran into the regimental
photographer.

23
00:04:07,460 --> 00:04:09,759
Said he had
all these photographs
of the 506th

24
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:13,380
going all the way
back to Toccoa.

25
00:04:14,649 --> 00:04:16,748
I traded ’em for
a couple of lugers.

26
00:04:16,749 --> 00:04:18,189
That’s a bargain.

27
00:04:18,190 --> 00:04:20,067
(laughs)

28
00:04:29,799 --> 00:04:31,339
What do you think
you’ll do after this?

29
00:04:32,079 --> 00:04:33,179
Get some breakfast.

30
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:38,220
No, after, after.

31
00:04:44,420 --> 00:04:45,859
Well, it’s funny
you should mention it

32
00:04:45,860 --> 00:04:47,578
’cause I had a meeting
with Colonel Sink.

33
00:04:47,579 --> 00:04:49,705
Really?

34
00:04:49,706 --> 00:04:51,374
Yeah.

35
00:04:52,170 --> 00:04:54,429
Yeah, discussed
the possibility
of staying.

36
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:57,009
In the army?

37
00:04:57,010 --> 00:04:59,011
Yeah.

38
00:04:59,012 --> 00:05:02,516
Yeah, as a career.

39
00:05:04,009 --> 00:05:04,859
What’d you say?

40
00:05:06,630 --> 00:05:08,070
I said I’d
think about it.

41
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:19,699
What do you think
about New Jersey?

42
00:05:19,700 --> 00:05:21,786
New Jersey?

43
00:05:22,349 --> 00:05:25,019
There’s a company
in Nixon, New Jersey.

44
00:05:25,020 --> 00:05:26,768
It’s called
"Nixon Nitration Works".

45
00:05:26,769 --> 00:05:28,389
Oh, sounds picturesque.

46
00:05:28,390 --> 00:05:31,579
Yeah, well, oddly enough,
I know the owners.

47
00:05:33,510 --> 00:05:36,069
Probably gonna expect me
to make something of myself.

48
00:05:36,070 --> 00:05:39,049
I thought maybe
I’d drag you with me.

49
00:05:43,859 --> 00:05:45,309
Are you offering
me a job?

50
00:05:50,209 --> 00:05:51,889
We’ll see how you do
in your interview,

51
00:05:51,890 --> 00:05:54,729
but, you know, a man
of your qualifications,

52
00:05:54,730 --> 00:05:57,028
I think we can probably
scrape something up

53
00:05:57,029 --> 00:05:59,329
commensurate with
your current salary level.

54
00:06:04,630 --> 00:06:05,670
Yeah, I’ll think
about it.

55
00:06:10,260 --> 00:06:12,019
Yeah, I really
appreciate it.

56
00:06:13,359 --> 00:06:15,290
Yeah, just
think about it.

57
00:06:16,958 --> 00:06:18,710
Yeah.

58
00:06:50,325 --> 00:06:52,202
Winters:
Job offers...

59
00:06:54,119 --> 00:06:55,140
hard to fathom.

60
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:57,700
And the war
wasn’t even over.

61
00:06:59,459 --> 00:07:02,339
I was still
getting used to hot showers
and morning swims.

62
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,380
We’d entered Bavaria
in early May

63
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:18,299
with the hopes
of capturing Berchtesgaden.

64
00:07:19,649 --> 00:07:21,899
This famous town,
high in the Alps,

65
00:07:22,059 --> 00:07:24,260
was the Nazi Party’s
symbolic home,

66
00:07:24,619 --> 00:07:27,070
and all the heads
of the Third Reich
had houses there.

67
00:07:27,700 --> 00:07:29,239
Although Hitler
was dead,

68
00:07:29,709 --> 00:07:32,798
he had apparently
ordered the SS to make it
their last stand

69
00:07:32,799 --> 00:07:34,539
from which to mount
a guerrilla resistance

70
00:07:34,540 --> 00:07:35,929
against the Allied advance.

71
00:07:36,420 --> 00:07:38,959
The first step was
blocking the roads.

72
00:07:45,630 --> 00:07:47,849
When are we expecting
the engineers to arrive?

73
00:07:47,850 --> 00:07:48,938
Half an hour ago.

74
00:07:48,939 --> 00:07:50,607
We’re stuck here
until they do, Nix.

75
00:07:52,089 --> 00:07:53,159
Well, if you’re the SS,

76
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,380
you’re not gonna let us
waltz into Hitler’s house.

77
00:07:56,100 --> 00:07:58,479
Probably throw
a few rocks at us yourself.

78
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,548
If you’re looking for someone
to find another way
up that mountain,

79
00:08:00,549 --> 00:08:02,819
"Easy Company"
is ready and willing.
Duly noted.

80
00:08:02,820 --> 00:08:04,660
I already recommended you
to Colonel Sink.

81
00:08:04,850 --> 00:08:06,449
Terrific, let’s go find out
where Hitler lived.

82
00:08:06,450 --> 00:08:09,178
Ron, we’re not sure
what’s up there.

83
00:08:09,179 --> 00:08:11,329
The colonel doesn’t want us
taking any unnecessary risks.

84
00:08:12,790 --> 00:08:14,520
So, the French
are gonna beat us
to the Eagle’s Nest.

85
00:08:27,741 --> 00:08:30,119
Colonel Sink: Kids,
I just had a conversation
with General Leclerc.

86
00:08:32,549 --> 00:08:33,968
He told me
he was first into Paris

87
00:08:33,969 --> 00:08:35,529
and, by God, he wanted to be
first into Berchtesgaden.

88
00:08:39,629 --> 00:08:41,169
Told him I understood
his point.

89
00:08:44,330 --> 00:08:45,769
Now, you fire up
Second Battalion

90
00:08:45,770 --> 00:08:47,548
and outflank that
French son of a bitch.

91
00:08:47,549 --> 00:08:49,301
Yes, sir.

92
00:08:52,512 --> 00:08:54,848
I want "Easy Company"
in the lead.

93
00:08:56,159 --> 00:08:57,439
Have the men assemble
down on the Autobahn.

94
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:58,816
Yes, sir.

95
00:09:36,145 --> 00:09:37,687
Eerie.

96
00:09:37,688 --> 00:09:39,857
Not even
any natives.

97
00:09:40,689 --> 00:09:42,149
That’s ’cause this
is the one town

98
00:09:42,150 --> 00:09:43,900
you can’t deny
being a true Nazi.

99
00:09:45,239 --> 00:09:46,030
What do you mean?

100
00:09:46,359 --> 00:09:47,770
Nixon:
Well, you have to be
to live here.

101
00:09:48,859 --> 00:09:50,479
Need to find some place
we can put the colonel.

102
00:09:51,560 --> 00:09:53,450
How about
right there?

103
00:10:22,145 --> 00:10:24,189
No, no.

104
00:10:45,544 --> 00:10:47,420
Wow.

105
00:10:47,421 --> 00:10:49,548
(silverware clanging)

106
00:10:58,719 --> 00:10:59,909
Kitty would
love this.

107
00:11:01,159 --> 00:11:03,500
How many brides
get a wedding present
from Hitler?

108
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:08,809
You wanna
take half?

109
00:11:10,059 --> 00:11:11,479
I can’t carry
all this.

110
00:11:12,289 --> 00:11:13,798
You know, whoever
comes in here after us

111
00:11:13,799 --> 00:11:15,679
is gonna take whatever
isn’t nailed down.

112
00:11:16,169 --> 00:11:19,048
Well, wouldn’t want
that to happen.

113
00:11:19,049 --> 00:11:20,550
(chuckles)

114
00:11:23,911 --> 00:11:25,078
Nice.

115
00:11:25,079 --> 00:11:26,690
Don’t even
think about it.

116
00:11:37,409 --> 00:11:39,228
Major Winters?
Sir?

117
00:11:39,229 --> 00:11:40,439
More.

118
00:11:40,560 --> 00:11:42,548
Er, permission to climb
the mountain, sir?

119
00:11:42,549 --> 00:11:44,099
The Eagle’s Nest?
What is this?

120
00:11:44,909 --> 00:11:45,689
Wait one minute.

121
00:11:45,690 --> 00:11:49,027
Harry, have "F" Company
put a double guard
on the hotel.

122
00:11:50,349 --> 00:11:52,098
Set up roadblocks
on the west side of town.

123
00:11:52,099 --> 00:11:54,975
I want battalion HQ,
seal off the north side

124
00:11:54,976 --> 00:11:56,118
and prepare
for prisoners.

125
00:11:56,119 --> 00:11:57,371
Sergeant Grant.

126
00:11:57,580 --> 00:12:00,339
And, Harry,
nobody gets hurt, not now.

127
00:12:00,340 --> 00:12:01,716
(ripping)

128
00:12:01,717 --> 00:12:03,844
And "Easy"?

129
00:12:05,387 --> 00:12:07,347
"Easy" will head
up the mountain

130
00:12:07,969 --> 00:12:11,440
through the Obersalzburg
and take the Eagle’s Nest.

131
00:12:13,567 --> 00:12:16,528
Man:
Hi-ho, Silver!

132
00:12:16,529 --> 00:12:18,489
(yelling)

133
00:12:21,158 --> 00:12:23,703
(all cheering)

134
00:12:25,429 --> 00:12:28,579
Winters: The Eagle’s Nest
was a surprise birthday
present for Hitler,

135
00:12:28,580 --> 00:12:30,219
built with
Nazi Party money.

136
00:12:30,900 --> 00:12:33,999
A mountaintop stone retreat
8,000 feet up,

137
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,280
accessible
by a gold-plated elevator.

138
00:12:37,030 --> 00:12:39,549
It was one
of the crown jewels
of his empire.

139
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:41,780
And the man
was afraid of heights.

140
00:13:22,988 --> 00:13:25,073
(cork popping)

141
00:13:27,826 --> 00:13:29,828
Here’s to him.

142
00:13:43,467 --> 00:13:46,178
(man laughing)
Nixon: No, God damn it, listen.

143
00:13:47,190 --> 00:13:49,129
"Hitler, Hitler"-- no.

144
00:13:49,130 --> 00:13:54,050
Man:
Hitler, Himmler,
Goering, Goebbels!

145
00:13:54,051 --> 00:13:55,970
(all arguing)

146
00:13:58,639 --> 00:14:02,392
Hey, Adolf!
Love your Eagle’s Nest.

147
00:14:02,393 --> 00:14:05,396
I hope you don’t mind.
We made ourselves
at home.

148
00:14:05,789 --> 00:14:07,058
Love what you’ve done
with the place.

149
00:14:07,059 --> 00:14:08,810
Hey, hey,
have a drink.

150
00:14:08,811 --> 00:14:11,868
Come on.
Just so’s as we can say
we saw you do it.

151
00:14:11,869 --> 00:14:13,537
Listen up.

152
00:14:15,789 --> 00:14:17,879
From Corps, just came in.
Effective immediately.

153
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,440
"All troops stand fast
on present positions."

154
00:14:21,608 --> 00:14:23,275
Standing fast.
Yeah.

155
00:14:23,276 --> 00:14:25,403
(chuckling)

156
00:14:27,289 --> 00:14:28,358
Wanna hear it?
Mmm.

157
00:14:28,359 --> 00:14:29,234
Mmm-hmm?

158
00:14:29,235 --> 00:14:31,153
Ready for it?
Listen up.

159
00:14:31,859 --> 00:14:33,059
German army’s
surrendered.

160
00:14:40,719 --> 00:14:42,580
I got a present
for you. Come on.

161
00:14:45,409 --> 00:14:46,890
Is it?
Yeah.

162
00:15:08,299 --> 00:15:09,488
Nixon:
What is this place?

163
00:15:09,489 --> 00:15:11,339
Hermann Goering’s house.

164
00:15:11,340 --> 00:15:12,770
We discovered it
yesterday.

165
00:15:13,469 --> 00:15:14,959
Had it on double guard
ever since.

166
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:16,089
I can vouch
for that, sir.

167
00:15:16,090 --> 00:15:17,779
Oh, anxious to get
off duty, O’Keefe?

168
00:15:18,020 --> 00:15:19,959
No, there’s just so much
to see and do, sir.

169
00:15:56,950 --> 00:15:59,368
Winters:
10,000 bottles
of the world’s finest liquor,

170
00:15:59,369 --> 00:16:02,709
wine, and champagne helped
"Easy Company" mark the day

171
00:16:02,710 --> 00:16:04,678
the war in Europe
came to an end.

172
00:16:04,679 --> 00:16:06,259
Winters:
It’s all yours.

173
00:16:07,849 --> 00:16:10,269
Take what you want
and have each company
take a truckload.

174
00:16:10,270 --> 00:16:13,565
We’re heading for Austria
in the morning,

175
00:16:13,809 --> 00:16:15,279
but don’t feel
you have to leave
anything here

176
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,408
for whoever comes next.
Austria, sir?

177
00:16:17,409 --> 00:16:19,661
Happy V.E. Day.

178
00:16:19,662 --> 00:16:21,330
Yeah.

179
00:16:22,540 --> 00:16:24,542
V.E. Day?

180
00:16:26,309 --> 00:16:28,130
Victory in Europe.

181
00:16:36,180 --> 00:16:38,975
Happy V.E. Day.

182
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:42,699
Winters:
Instead of an aggressive
combat unit,

183
00:16:42,700 --> 00:16:44,500
we became
an occupation force.

184
00:16:45,130 --> 00:16:46,610
And no one wanted
to leave Berchtesgaden

185
00:16:47,979 --> 00:16:49,359
until they saw Austria.

186
00:17:26,469 --> 00:17:28,900
So, you reckon they’ll make us
run up those or ski down them?

187
00:17:44,624 --> 00:17:47,960
(people cheering,
calling out)

188
00:17:47,961 --> 00:17:50,129
Soldier:
Hey, how are you?

189
00:17:50,130 --> 00:17:52,799
Need a hand there?
Hi, hi!

190
00:17:53,759 --> 00:17:55,029
He loves you!

191
00:17:55,030 --> 00:17:58,784
Hey, lady,
how are you?

192
00:18:00,911 --> 00:18:04,873
I think the war is over!

193
00:18:37,330 --> 00:18:39,109
We’ll be
comfortable here.

194
00:18:45,050 --> 00:18:46,649
I wonder what
will happen to us,

195
00:18:46,650 --> 00:18:48,319
to people like
you and me,

196
00:18:48,810 --> 00:18:52,069
when there are finally
no more wars to occupy us.

197
00:18:57,069 --> 00:18:58,799
Have all your men
collect the weapons,

198
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:00,328
deposit them at the church,
at the school,

199
00:19:00,329 --> 00:19:03,260
and at the airfield.
Very well.

200
00:19:11,780 --> 00:19:14,359
Please accept this
as my formal surrender,
Major.

201
00:19:15,619 --> 00:19:17,920
It is better than to lay it
on the desk of a clerk.

202
00:19:26,739 --> 00:19:28,199
You may keep
your sidearm, Colonel.

203
00:19:43,089 --> 00:19:45,849
Male announcer:
Heroic dead of a combined
army and Marine force

204
00:19:45,850 --> 00:19:48,249
mark the grim battlefield
of Okinawa,

205
00:19:48,250 --> 00:19:51,228
where one of
the bloodiest engagements
of the war is being fought.

206
00:19:51,229 --> 00:19:54,439
Thousands of Yanks
have been wounded...

207
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:56,401
Look sharp.

208
00:20:00,010 --> 00:20:03,039
Along the Jap’s
southern defense line,
the Yanks progress slowly,

209
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:06,118
facing one of
the fiercest artillery
barrages of the war.

210
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:09,208
Each small advance
is gained by sheer grit

211
00:20:09,209 --> 00:20:12,379
in the face of withering fire
from a suicidal enemy

212
00:20:12,380 --> 00:20:14,910
being slowly hammered
back into the hills.

213
00:20:15,479 --> 00:20:18,159
The going is brutal
and our casualties are high,

214
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:22,108
but Okinawa
is the next big step
towards victory over Japan--

215
00:20:22,109 --> 00:20:24,419
a victory that
can only be won by work,

216
00:20:24,420 --> 00:20:27,199
war bonds,
and heroic sacrifice.

217
00:20:35,609 --> 00:20:36,800
So, when are we going?

218
00:20:37,329 --> 00:20:38,318
We don’t have
a date yet.

219
00:20:38,319 --> 00:20:40,196
Are we to tell
the men right away?

220
00:20:41,719 --> 00:20:44,068
Some of them
will have enough points
to go home instead.

221
00:20:44,069 --> 00:20:47,489
Not many,
if their only medal’s
a Purple Heart.

222
00:20:48,239 --> 00:20:49,910
I think most of us here
will have enough.

223
00:20:51,699 --> 00:20:53,640
And each of us
will have to decide
what to do.

224
00:20:54,380 --> 00:20:56,310
I don’t know how long
we’re waiting here for orders,

225
00:20:56,970 --> 00:20:59,099
but I want those veterans
who are staying

226
00:20:59,190 --> 00:21:01,380
and all new replacements
ready to fight.

227
00:21:02,449 --> 00:21:03,880
That means
rifle ranges.

228
00:21:04,130 --> 00:21:06,630
That means daily
close-order drills.
That means troop reviews.

229
00:21:06,729 --> 00:21:08,589
But, above all, it means
physical training.

230
00:21:08,790 --> 00:21:10,270
Get your NCOs on it.

231
00:21:12,649 --> 00:21:13,979
They’re gonna
love you.

232
00:21:18,869 --> 00:21:20,769
What are you crouching
down for, Perco?

233
00:21:20,770 --> 00:21:23,218
Think the deer’s
gonna shoot back?

234
00:21:23,219 --> 00:21:24,260
Leave me alone.

235
00:21:25,430 --> 00:21:27,448
How about y’all
just shut up

236
00:21:27,449 --> 00:21:29,451
and let Shifty
kill us some dinner?

237
00:21:30,149 --> 00:21:31,618
Perconte:
Ah, what’s
the matter, Bull?

238
00:21:31,619 --> 00:21:34,809
You tired
of eating dried-up spuds
three times a day?

239
00:21:34,810 --> 00:21:36,198
Hey, you know what,
I got an idea--

240
00:21:36,199 --> 00:21:38,318
why don’t we
just shoot Bull here

241
00:21:38,319 --> 00:21:39,986
and feed the company
for a week?

242
00:21:39,987 --> 00:21:42,365
(twig snaps)

243
00:22:03,428 --> 00:22:06,055
(gun clicks)

244
00:22:07,390 --> 00:22:09,475
Aw, God damn it,
Shifty.

245
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:11,819
You let him
get away.

246
00:22:12,130 --> 00:22:13,800
Army oughta be glad
to be rid of you.

247
00:22:14,959 --> 00:22:15,979
I wish, you know.

248
00:22:16,270 --> 00:22:18,437
It seems they want me
to stay around awhile.

249
00:22:18,438 --> 00:22:19,564
Are you serious?

250
00:22:19,565 --> 00:22:21,009
How many points
you need?
15.

251
00:22:21,010 --> 00:22:24,305
15? Jesus Christ,
I thought I had it bad.

252
00:22:26,379 --> 00:22:28,458
Mmm. No Purple Hearts,
never was injured.

253
00:22:28,459 --> 00:22:30,334
Man:
Company!

254
00:22:30,335 --> 00:22:31,586
All:
Platoon!

255
00:22:31,587 --> 00:22:34,423
Atten-tion!

256
00:22:37,342 --> 00:22:40,136
Right shoulder.

257
00:22:40,137 --> 00:22:42,264
Arm!

258
00:22:44,058 --> 00:22:46,184
Order.

259
00:22:46,185 --> 00:22:47,811
Arms!

260
00:22:50,022 --> 00:22:51,899
At ease.

261
00:22:54,739 --> 00:22:56,948
General Taylor is aware
that many veterans,

262
00:22:56,949 --> 00:22:58,640
including
Normandy veterans,

263
00:22:58,829 --> 00:23:02,099
still do not have
the 85 points required
to be discharged.

264
00:23:02,550 --> 00:23:04,149
On this,
the anniversary of D-Day,

265
00:23:04,150 --> 00:23:06,299
he has authorized
a lottery to send

266
00:23:06,300 --> 00:23:07,698
one man home
in each company,

267
00:23:07,699 --> 00:23:09,701
effective immediately.

268
00:23:11,319 --> 00:23:14,239
For "Easy Company",
the winner is...

269
00:23:20,120 --> 00:23:21,538
Come on, come on,
come on, come on.

270
00:23:23,165 --> 00:23:26,334
Serial number
1-3-0...

271
00:23:26,335 --> 00:23:28,128
6-6-2-6-6.

272
00:23:29,510 --> 00:23:32,429
Sergeant
Darrell C. Powers.

273
00:23:32,430 --> 00:23:34,098
Well done, Shifty.

274
00:23:34,390 --> 00:23:36,650
That’s how
it’s done, Shifty!

275
00:23:38,486 --> 00:23:40,696
Congratulations,
Shifty.

276
00:23:42,089 --> 00:23:44,009
Sergeant Grant
will see to it
that 2nd platoon

277
00:23:44,010 --> 00:23:46,009
takes over
at the Crossroads checkpoint,

278
00:23:46,010 --> 00:23:48,249
beginning tonight
at 2200 hours.

279
00:23:48,250 --> 00:23:50,210
So much for
our anniversary.

280
00:23:50,211 --> 00:23:51,298
No shit.

281
00:23:51,299 --> 00:23:53,289
General Taylor
has also announced that

282
00:23:53,290 --> 00:23:55,130
the 101st Airborne Division

283
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:58,469
will definitely be
redeployed to the Pacific.

284
00:24:00,099 --> 00:24:04,118
So, beginning tomorrow,
at 0600 hours,

285
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,160
we will begin
training to go to war.

286
00:24:11,916 --> 00:24:14,960
(knocking)
Come in.

287
00:24:14,961 --> 00:24:17,088
(door opening)

288
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,097
I don’t mean to
interrupt you, sir.

289
00:24:25,510 --> 00:24:28,769
I just wanted
to say goodbye.

290
00:24:28,770 --> 00:24:31,940
You know, you was...

291
00:24:33,274 --> 00:24:36,735
You was...

292
00:24:36,736 --> 00:24:38,530
Well...

293
00:24:39,639 --> 00:24:40,989
it’s been
a long time.

294
00:24:44,239 --> 00:24:45,329
You got everything
you need?

295
00:24:46,150 --> 00:24:48,089
Yes, sir.
I gathered up my loot.

296
00:24:48,090 --> 00:24:49,591
Pistols mainly.

297
00:24:49,990 --> 00:24:51,208
Paperwork’s all done.

298
00:24:51,209 --> 00:24:53,836
I even got my back pay
in my pocket.

299
00:24:59,729 --> 00:25:01,829
Back, back home
in Virginia...

300
00:25:03,706 --> 00:25:06,083
well...

301
00:25:10,130 --> 00:25:13,219
I just don’t rightly know
how I’m gonna explain
all this.

302
00:25:17,556 --> 00:25:20,517
You see, I’ve...

303
00:25:20,518 --> 00:25:24,604
I’ve seen...

304
00:25:24,605 --> 00:25:28,692
You’re a hell
of a fine soldier,
Shifty.

305
00:25:29,460 --> 00:25:31,239
There’s nothing more
to explain.

306
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:36,439
Thank you, sir.

307
00:25:45,910 --> 00:25:47,549
Winters:
Two days later,
Shifty Powers

308
00:25:47,550 --> 00:25:50,040
was on a truck
headed for the rear
and a boat home.

309
00:25:50,949 --> 00:25:52,968
Unfortunately the truck
was hit head-on

310
00:25:52,969 --> 00:25:55,010
by a drunken corporal
from another regiment.

311
00:25:55,909 --> 00:25:57,468
Shifty had
a broken pelvis,

312
00:25:57,469 --> 00:26:00,130
a broken arm,
and a bad concussion.

313
00:26:00,369 --> 00:26:02,478
He survived,
but had to spend
the next few months

314
00:26:02,479 --> 00:26:03,849
in a series
of hospitals.

315
00:26:04,619 --> 00:26:07,280
I wish I could say
that he was our only casualty
in Austria.

316
00:26:08,300 --> 00:26:10,448
I’ve made up
my mind, Nix.

317
00:26:10,449 --> 00:26:12,509
I got the points,
I’m going back to Kitty.

318
00:26:12,510 --> 00:26:15,629
Harry, do you really think
that Kitty hasn’t run off

319
00:26:15,630 --> 00:26:17,590
with some 4-F by now?
(laughs)

320
00:26:17,591 --> 00:26:20,668
Son of a bitch.
That’s not even funny.

321
00:26:20,669 --> 00:26:21,979
Harry, ignore him.

322
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:23,919
How am I supposed
to tell her

323
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:25,219
I had the chance
to come home to her
finally,

324
00:26:25,220 --> 00:26:28,669
but decided not to,
so I could go jump
on Tokyo?

325
00:26:28,670 --> 00:26:30,520
All right,
so don’t tell her.

326
00:26:32,239 --> 00:26:35,159
Besides, she’s waited for you
for three years, right?

327
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:37,818
We’ll be to Tokyo and back
in two years, three tops.

328
00:26:37,819 --> 00:26:40,318
It’ll probably be over
before you even get there.

329
00:26:40,319 --> 00:26:42,649
You know, the reality
is you’re gonna sit here
in Austria

330
00:26:42,650 --> 00:26:44,159
for six months
waiting to go

331
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,978
and I’m gonna be back
in Wilkes-Barre making babies.

332
00:26:46,979 --> 00:26:47,718
You didn’t
tell him?

333
00:26:47,719 --> 00:26:49,420
No, I couldn’t get
him to shut up.

334
00:26:51,239 --> 00:26:52,299
What? Tell me what?

335
00:26:52,300 --> 00:26:57,389
Guts and Glory here
applied for a transfer.
What?

336
00:26:58,180 --> 00:27:01,079
13th Airborne are heading out
for the Pacific right away.

337
00:27:05,500 --> 00:27:07,199
If I’m going,
I wanna get it over with.

338
00:27:10,500 --> 00:27:11,659
Are you in
on this too?

339
00:27:11,660 --> 00:27:13,179
I can’t let him
go by himself.

340
00:27:13,180 --> 00:27:14,239
He doesn’t know
where it is.

341
00:27:17,930 --> 00:27:20,390
You’re leaving
the men?

342
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:23,540
They don’t need me
anymore.

343
00:27:34,551 --> 00:27:36,677
Wounded in Normandy?

344
00:27:36,678 --> 00:27:37,888
Yes, sir.

345
00:27:38,660 --> 00:27:40,409
In the leg.
It was a minor
flesh wound.

346
00:27:40,410 --> 00:27:43,871
Company "E"
lost 24 men killed there.

347
00:27:43,872 --> 00:27:45,457
Yes, sir.

348
00:27:46,219 --> 00:27:48,458
17 of those were in
my company commander’s plane.

349
00:27:48,459 --> 00:27:49,560
It went down
on D-Day.

350
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,419
So you were given command
of the company on D-Day?

351
00:27:53,420 --> 00:27:55,756
That’s right.

352
00:27:57,174 --> 00:28:01,220
(bullets whizzing)

353
00:28:04,682 --> 00:28:07,600
Fall back
to your original positions!

354
00:28:07,601 --> 00:28:12,106
Everyone else maintain
your pace of fire!

355
00:28:20,281 --> 00:28:22,866
In Holland...

356
00:28:22,867 --> 00:28:26,286
they bumped you
to battalion XO.

357
00:28:26,287 --> 00:28:28,622
Yes, sir.

358
00:28:33,170 --> 00:28:35,270
Bastards took
your company away.

359
00:28:37,272 --> 00:28:40,734
(phone ringing)

360
00:28:53,121 --> 00:28:55,290
(firing)

361
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:00,462
(ringing)

362
00:29:04,170 --> 00:29:05,709
I fired
my last shots there.

363
00:29:08,150 --> 00:29:09,088
For the whole damn war?

364
00:29:09,089 --> 00:29:12,259
Yes, sir.

365
00:29:14,052 --> 00:29:16,930
You got through Bastogne
without having to fire
your weapon?

366
00:29:18,349 --> 00:29:19,280
That is correct, sir.

367
00:29:19,949 --> 00:29:21,289
And you were on the line
the whole time?

368
00:29:21,290 --> 00:29:23,209
Yes, sir.

369
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:28,539
Can’t imagine a tougher
test for a leader,

370
00:29:28,540 --> 00:29:32,042
having to sit through
a siege like that

371
00:29:32,043 --> 00:29:34,586
under those
conditions.

372
00:29:34,587 --> 00:29:36,880
We got through it.

373
00:29:36,881 --> 00:29:39,716
Find some cover!
Find a foxhole!

374
00:29:39,717 --> 00:29:41,552
Come on,
take cover!

375
00:29:41,553 --> 00:29:45,014
Take cover!

376
00:29:48,893 --> 00:29:52,021
Come on,
find some cover!

377
00:29:54,899 --> 00:29:57,526
So why do you
want a transfer?

378
00:29:57,527 --> 00:29:58,862
Sorry, sir?

379
00:30:00,119 --> 00:30:01,418
I said, why do you want
to leave your men?

380
00:30:01,419 --> 00:30:03,212
Oh, it’s not that, sir.

381
00:30:03,509 --> 00:30:06,468
It’s just that if the war
was still on in the Pacific

382
00:30:06,469 --> 00:30:08,000
and I could do some
good over there...

383
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:11,299
Looking to have
your own division someday?

384
00:30:11,300 --> 00:30:12,676
No, sir.

385
00:30:12,677 --> 00:30:15,178
Not going to make
a career of the army?

386
00:30:15,179 --> 00:30:16,514
No.

387
00:30:17,230 --> 00:30:19,729
Ye-- I--
Well, I don’t know, sir.

388
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,179
Because if you think
you need more combat
experience

389
00:30:23,180 --> 00:30:25,578
to get stars
on your helmet,

390
00:30:25,579 --> 00:30:28,707
let me tell you
something, son--

391
00:30:29,230 --> 00:30:30,660
you’ve done enough.

392
00:30:34,270 --> 00:30:35,068
Thank you, sir.

393
00:30:35,069 --> 00:30:37,155
That’s--
that’s not my objective.

394
00:30:45,079 --> 00:30:46,649
Major,
I took this meeting

395
00:30:46,650 --> 00:30:48,059
out of respect
for your achievements,

396
00:30:48,060 --> 00:30:50,354
and for the 101st.

397
00:30:52,050 --> 00:30:54,170
If they do go to
the Pacific eventually,

398
00:30:55,839 --> 00:30:57,579
you should be running
one of the battalions.

399
00:31:00,369 --> 00:31:01,069
Thank you, sir.

400
00:31:04,109 --> 00:31:05,358
And frankly, I think
your men have earned

401
00:31:05,359 --> 00:31:06,410
the right
to keep you around.

402
00:31:10,915 --> 00:31:12,958
Yes, sir.

403
00:31:16,739 --> 00:31:17,359
Thank you, sir.

404
00:31:23,489 --> 00:31:26,149
Winters:
So, I would stay in Austria
for the time being,

405
00:31:26,150 --> 00:31:27,560
waiting for orders,

406
00:31:28,089 --> 00:31:29,618
and trying to
watch over soldiers

407
00:31:29,619 --> 00:31:30,989
who had no enemy
to fight.

408
00:31:32,329 --> 00:31:33,738
Lieb, I fucking
hate this.

409
00:31:33,739 --> 00:31:36,366
Oh, Jesus Christ,
they fingered him.

410
00:31:36,367 --> 00:31:38,244
He was in
the fucking room, Web.

411
00:31:38,510 --> 00:31:40,339
One of those Polacks
who was at the slave camps

412
00:31:40,449 --> 00:31:41,978
said this is where
the guy lives, right here.

413
00:31:41,979 --> 00:31:43,599
Which camp?
Whatever camp.

414
00:31:45,429 --> 00:31:47,910
I’m under direct orders
and I’m happy to follow it.

415
00:32:08,569 --> 00:32:09,659
Is this a personal
thing, Joe?

416
00:32:09,660 --> 00:32:10,828
What?

417
00:32:11,150 --> 00:32:12,810
Is this personal
to you?

418
00:32:12,969 --> 00:32:14,410
No, it’s
a goddamn order.

419
00:32:15,380 --> 00:32:16,930
Does Major Winters
know about this?

420
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:18,728
Doesn’t matter here.

421
00:32:18,729 --> 00:32:20,329
Oh, the fuck
it doesn’t.

422
00:32:20,330 --> 00:32:22,049
What if this guy’s
just a soldier?

423
00:32:22,050 --> 00:32:24,448
What if he’s an officer
with no ties to the SS?

424
00:32:24,449 --> 00:32:25,688
What if he’s innocent?
You know what?

425
00:32:25,689 --> 00:32:28,389
What if he’s
a fucking Nazi commandant
of a fucking slave camp?

426
00:32:28,390 --> 00:32:29,759
Which one?
Which camp?

427
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:31,699
You don’t have any proof.
Were you at Landsberg?

428
00:32:31,700 --> 00:32:33,327
You know I was.

429
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:36,599
You think he’s a soldier
like you and me?

430
00:32:37,010 --> 00:32:39,390
A fucking innocent
German officer?

431
00:32:41,430 --> 00:32:43,410
Where the hell have you been
for the past three years?

432
00:32:45,579 --> 00:32:49,165
Wer sind sie?
Was machen sie hier?

433
00:32:49,166 --> 00:32:50,541
What?

434
00:32:50,542 --> 00:32:53,002
Ich habe garnichts.
Shut up.

435
00:32:53,003 --> 00:32:55,296
Was machen sie?
Ruhe.

436
00:32:55,297 --> 00:32:57,799
Sie sind
der Kommandant.

437
00:32:57,800 --> 00:32:59,217
Gehen sie heraus.

438
00:32:59,218 --> 00:33:00,843
Sie sind
der Kommandant.

439
00:33:00,844 --> 00:33:02,011
Welcher Kommandant?

440
00:33:02,012 --> 00:33:03,388
Vom Arbeitslager.

441
00:33:03,389 --> 00:33:04,889
Ich weiss von keinem
Arbeitslager.

442
00:33:04,890 --> 00:33:06,683
Sie haben
die falsche Person.

443
00:33:06,684 --> 00:33:07,934
No?

444
00:33:07,935 --> 00:33:09,686
Come here,
old man.

445
00:33:09,687 --> 00:33:10,853
Nein, nein.

446
00:33:10,854 --> 00:33:12,814
Don’t fucking
lie to me.

447
00:33:12,815 --> 00:33:14,107
Sie tauschen sich.

448
00:33:14,108 --> 00:33:17,193
See what you did
to my fucking people?

449
00:33:17,194 --> 00:33:19,320
Nein. Nein!

450
00:33:19,321 --> 00:33:21,824
(yelling continues)

451
00:33:46,432 --> 00:33:49,101
He’s guilty.

452
00:33:50,394 --> 00:33:52,104
Liebgott says so.

453
00:33:54,420 --> 00:33:55,328
He probably is.

454
00:33:55,329 --> 00:33:57,748
(gunshot)
(man shouts)

455
00:34:02,378 --> 00:34:04,087
(clicking)

456
00:34:04,088 --> 00:34:05,255
Goddamn son of a bitch.

457
00:34:05,256 --> 00:34:06,591
Shoot him.

458
00:34:09,438 --> 00:34:11,059
Shoot him!
No.

459
00:34:12,352 --> 00:34:15,314
(gunshot)

460
00:34:34,500 --> 00:34:35,879
Officers don’t run.

461
00:34:36,820 --> 00:34:38,610
The war’s over,
anybody would run.

462
00:34:42,129 --> 00:34:44,299
Winters:
Summer in this alpine
paradise

463
00:34:44,300 --> 00:34:45,968
should have been
a welcome relief,

464
00:34:45,969 --> 00:34:48,590
especially now that we were
at peace with the Germans.

465
00:34:48,995 --> 00:34:50,734
Everyone just wanted
to go home.

466
00:34:50,735 --> 00:34:53,529
France.
France was the best.

467
00:34:53,530 --> 00:34:54,697
Really?

468
00:34:54,698 --> 00:34:57,370
Yeah, five years.

469
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:01,169
I think
I was in every country,
but France was the best.

470
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:08,459
Italy would be
second for me.

471
00:35:09,530 --> 00:35:10,999
Russia
is not desirable.

472
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,335
Ukraine-- it was okay.

473
00:35:13,336 --> 00:35:17,047
So, er,
when d’you get out?

474
00:35:17,048 --> 00:35:18,675
The unit is
discharged.

475
00:35:19,529 --> 00:35:21,990
We leave when my captain
gets transferred.

476
00:35:22,810 --> 00:35:24,829
It is the end
of my second war.

477
00:35:24,830 --> 00:35:26,068
Jesus.

478
00:35:26,069 --> 00:35:28,038
I’m going home now
to Mannheim.

479
00:35:28,039 --> 00:35:29,188
I’ll take this one.

480
00:35:29,189 --> 00:35:31,066
Passkarte, bitte.

481
00:35:32,401 --> 00:35:35,696
Okay.

482
00:35:41,370 --> 00:35:43,760
Hey, Webster!
My relief.

483
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:46,859
Don’t salute the Germans.
Aw, come on.

484
00:35:46,860 --> 00:35:48,069
I sort of
get a kick out of it.

485
00:35:48,070 --> 00:35:51,156
Anyway, I got me
a new enemy-- the Japs.

486
00:35:52,050 --> 00:35:54,898
75 points.
How about you?

487
00:35:54,899 --> 00:35:57,388
I mean, you’re
a Toccoa guy, right?
How many you got?

488
00:35:57,389 --> 00:35:58,440
Wouldn’t you
like to know?

489
00:36:00,457 --> 00:36:03,127
Discharged, huh?

490
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:07,559
Go ahead, take off,
it’s my turn.

491
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:08,969
Okay, see you back
at the farm.

492
00:36:10,346 --> 00:36:12,472
81.

493
00:36:12,473 --> 00:36:14,308
Huh?

494
00:36:15,699 --> 00:36:17,569
I have 81 points.

495
00:36:17,570 --> 00:36:21,198
(laughing)
well, that’s just
not good enough.

496
00:36:24,034 --> 00:36:26,412
(honking)

497
00:36:27,659 --> 00:36:29,010
See about getting
you a ride.

498
00:36:30,011 --> 00:36:33,013
Hey!

499
00:36:33,014 --> 00:36:35,140
Where are they going?
Munich.

500
00:36:35,141 --> 00:36:36,517
Munchen, Munich.

501
00:36:36,518 --> 00:36:38,352
Wanna go to Munich?

502
00:36:38,353 --> 00:36:41,188
Um, mochten sie nach
Munchen gehen?

503
00:36:41,189 --> 00:36:42,691
Ja, bitte.

504
00:36:44,442 --> 00:36:46,068
(speaking softly)

505
00:36:46,069 --> 00:36:49,238
(both yelling in German)

506
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:51,533
Get in.

507
00:36:53,827 --> 00:36:55,161
Too bad.

508
00:37:01,001 --> 00:37:02,878
Turn the wheel!

509
00:37:04,212 --> 00:37:07,883
(horn honking)
Oh, Jesus.

510
00:37:20,312 --> 00:37:22,731
It’s Private Janovec.

511
00:37:25,850 --> 00:37:27,239
He was dead when
they brought him in.

512
00:37:30,159 --> 00:37:32,911
75 points.

513
00:37:32,912 --> 00:37:34,580
What?

514
00:37:35,739 --> 00:37:37,090
He was
10 points short.

515
00:37:39,310 --> 00:37:40,739
Winters:
The enemy had surrendered,

516
00:37:41,290 --> 00:37:43,209
but somehow men
were still dying.

517
00:37:44,070 --> 00:37:46,739
Young men
who wanted to be home
with their families by now,

518
00:37:46,740 --> 00:37:49,188
who’d served with distinction
since before Normandy

519
00:37:49,189 --> 00:37:51,388
were stuck here
because they didn’t
have the points.

520
00:37:51,389 --> 00:37:54,308
What they did have
plenty ofwere weapons,
alcohol,

521
00:37:54,309 --> 00:37:57,811
and too much time
on their hands.

522
00:37:57,812 --> 00:38:00,272
Man:
When all of a sudden,
from out of nowhere,

523
00:38:00,273 --> 00:38:03,192
a guy jumps out
of the hedgerow,
onto this guy’s chest,

524
00:38:04,169 --> 00:38:06,069
shoves a trench knife
up against his throat

525
00:38:06,070 --> 00:38:08,070
and screams,
"Whose side are you on?"

526
00:38:10,340 --> 00:38:11,120
I don’t get it.

527
00:38:11,670 --> 00:38:12,749
It’s D-Day.

528
00:38:12,750 --> 00:38:14,949
It’s 2nd Platoon’s
own Bill Guarnere.

529
00:38:14,950 --> 00:38:16,708
Ol’ Gonorrhea
himself.

530
00:38:16,709 --> 00:38:19,688
Just landed in Normandy
and wound up like
I don’t know what.

531
00:38:19,689 --> 00:38:22,159
"Whose side are you on?"
What a fucking character.

532
00:38:22,570 --> 00:38:23,570
What happened
to him?

533
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:26,459
Got his leg blown off
in Bastogne.

534
00:38:28,420 --> 00:38:29,963
Wait here.

535
00:38:35,343 --> 00:38:38,762
Are you okay, Mac,
d’you need some help?

536
00:38:38,763 --> 00:38:42,100
(laughing)

537
00:38:45,500 --> 00:38:47,378
They wouldn’t give me
any gas.

538
00:38:47,379 --> 00:38:49,548
Krauts.

539
00:38:54,344 --> 00:38:56,847
I tried to explain.

540
00:38:59,229 --> 00:39:01,770
This fucking limey
wouldn’t listen.

541
00:39:04,139 --> 00:39:05,719
I think he was a major.

542
00:39:06,439 --> 00:39:07,889
Look, private,
we’ve got a problem here.

543
00:39:08,979 --> 00:39:10,239
Do you have
any gas?

544
00:39:11,389 --> 00:39:12,530
Why don’t you
give me your weapon?

545
00:39:14,620 --> 00:39:17,160
Well, I guess
I’ll just use his jeep.

546
00:39:17,649 --> 00:39:19,369
I don’t think
he’s gonna be needing it.

547
00:39:19,370 --> 00:39:20,954
Hold on a second there,
all right?

548
00:39:20,955 --> 00:39:22,081
(fires)

549
00:39:23,332 --> 00:39:26,000
Jesus. Sarge!

550
00:39:26,001 --> 00:39:28,128
Sergeant Grant!

551
00:39:30,297 --> 00:39:33,092
Sarge!

552
00:39:38,722 --> 00:39:41,224
Jesus.

553
00:39:41,225 --> 00:39:43,109
What?

554
00:39:43,110 --> 00:39:44,179
He’s not gonna
make it.

555
00:39:45,439 --> 00:39:46,398
You can’t
operate on him?

556
00:39:46,399 --> 00:39:48,689
Not me.
You’d need
a brain surgeon.

557
00:39:48,879 --> 00:39:51,159
And even if you had one,
I don’t think there’s
any hope.

558
00:39:56,030 --> 00:39:57,299
You find the shooter,
I want him alive.

559
00:39:57,300 --> 00:39:58,638
Come on, help me.
What are you doing?

560
00:39:58,639 --> 00:40:01,391
We’re gonna go
find a brain surgeon.

561
00:40:01,392 --> 00:40:03,351
Get the door.

562
00:40:03,352 --> 00:40:04,729
Hey, Lieb.

563
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:07,339
He wants a noncom
guarding each roadblock

564
00:40:07,340 --> 00:40:09,340
and at least two men watching
every road out of town.

565
00:40:10,110 --> 00:40:11,309
Bull, Malark,
you each take a squad

566
00:40:11,310 --> 00:40:13,398
and one of these witnesses
on a house-to-house search.

567
00:40:13,399 --> 00:40:15,193
Can we shoot
this bastard on sight?

568
00:40:16,010 --> 00:40:17,439
Try and take
him alive.

569
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:18,799
Where’s Grant now?

570
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:20,843
They took him
to a kraut hospital

571
00:40:20,844 --> 00:40:23,429
to see if they could
drum up any good doctors.

572
00:40:23,430 --> 00:40:25,473
(knocking)

573
00:40:25,474 --> 00:40:27,851
(dog barking)

574
00:40:32,189 --> 00:40:34,316
Open up.

575
00:40:38,770 --> 00:40:39,468
Come with me.

576
00:40:39,469 --> 00:40:40,595
Why?

577
00:40:41,189 --> 00:40:42,060
Get in the jeep.

578
00:40:45,340 --> 00:40:46,428
Where are we going?

579
00:40:46,429 --> 00:40:47,429
To the hospital,
get in.

580
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:51,909
If you’re going
to shoot me, shoot me.

581
00:40:52,330 --> 00:40:54,019
If you’re not,
put the gun away.

582
00:40:54,020 --> 00:40:55,610
Get in the jeep, now.

583
00:40:56,879 --> 00:40:57,658
What happened
to him?

584
00:40:57,659 --> 00:40:58,629
He was shot
in the head.

585
00:41:01,149 --> 00:41:02,099
Half hour ago.

586
00:41:02,100 --> 00:41:03,851
Come on.

587
00:41:04,939 --> 00:41:07,000
If you want him to live,
you’ll help me.

588
00:41:07,389 --> 00:41:09,159
First by putting
that away.

589
00:41:11,786 --> 00:41:12,809
Let’s go.

590
00:41:12,810 --> 00:41:14,040
Let me drive.

591
00:41:14,340 --> 00:41:15,959
We’ll get there faster.

592
00:41:25,510 --> 00:41:28,304
(punching, grunting)

593
00:41:28,305 --> 00:41:31,348
Jesus.
Again, what a hand.

594
00:41:31,349 --> 00:41:33,726
(yelling, grunting
continue)

595
00:41:33,727 --> 00:41:36,353
I don’t know who’s taking
a bigger beating, me or him.

596
00:41:36,354 --> 00:41:38,564
Wanna play
a different game?
No.

597
00:41:38,565 --> 00:41:41,860
Same game, just shuffle
’em up good, huh?

598
00:41:43,779 --> 00:41:45,738
You all right?

599
00:41:45,739 --> 00:41:47,615
Yeah, I’m all right.

600
00:41:47,616 --> 00:41:50,285
You wanna go in there
and join in?

601
00:41:52,245 --> 00:41:54,663
I should go in there
and stop this.

602
00:41:54,664 --> 00:41:57,626
Floyd, let’s just
play cards, all right?

603
00:42:03,924 --> 00:42:05,341
Where is he?

604
00:42:05,342 --> 00:42:06,509
How’s Grant?
Where is he?

605
00:42:06,510 --> 00:42:08,637
Is he okay?
Where is he?

606
00:42:16,853 --> 00:42:18,312
(coughing)

607
00:42:18,313 --> 00:42:19,898
This him?

608
00:42:21,316 --> 00:42:22,651
That’s him.

609
00:42:25,612 --> 00:42:26,862
Replacement,

610
00:42:26,863 --> 00:42:28,448
"I" company.

611
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:32,010
Where’s the weapon?

612
00:42:33,136 --> 00:42:35,972
What weapon?

613
00:42:38,850 --> 00:42:40,850
When you talk to an officer,
you say "sir."

614
00:42:49,024 --> 00:42:52,403
(gun cocking)

615
00:43:32,449 --> 00:43:34,750
Have the MPs take care
of this piece of shit.

616
00:43:37,270 --> 00:43:38,869
Grant’s dead?
No.

617
00:43:38,870 --> 00:43:43,959
Kraut surgeon
says he’s gonna make it.

618
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:49,319
Hey, tough guy,
on your feet.

619
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:52,740
Come on, move,
move it.

620
00:43:53,599 --> 00:43:55,738
I’m guessing they were
Hitler’s photo albums, sir.

621
00:43:55,739 --> 00:43:58,324
Sure had a lot of
pictures of him in it.

622
00:43:58,325 --> 00:44:01,078
So, you looked at ’em,
but you didn’t take ’em?

623
00:44:01,210 --> 00:44:02,269
That’s right, sir.

624
00:44:02,270 --> 00:44:03,489
I don’t believe you.

625
00:44:09,349 --> 00:44:11,879
I’ll be watching you.
You’re dismissed.

626
00:44:15,949 --> 00:44:17,449
You’d better not
be lying to me.

627
00:44:21,953 --> 00:44:23,538
What?

628
00:44:24,939 --> 00:44:28,669
Sir, if it’s not gonna
put you in too much of a bind,

629
00:44:29,650 --> 00:44:31,989
I’d like to resign
as company 1st sergeant.

630
00:44:34,330 --> 00:44:35,590
If I had my choice,

631
00:44:35,860 --> 00:44:37,620
I miss being back
amongst the men.

632
00:44:38,290 --> 00:44:39,749
I’d be happy to go
to staff sergeant,

633
00:44:39,750 --> 00:44:41,139
whichever platoon
you wanna put me in.

634
00:44:46,959 --> 00:44:49,909
Well, I guess you’ve earned
your right to demote yourself.

635
00:44:50,820 --> 00:44:51,469
Thank you, sir.

636
00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:55,620
You wanna take over
Sergeant Grant’s platoon?

637
00:44:56,500 --> 00:44:57,600
That would
do fine, sir.

638
00:45:02,510 --> 00:45:04,310
All right then,
report to Lieutenant Peacock.

639
00:45:08,110 --> 00:45:09,570
Let me know
if he gives you any trouble.

640
00:45:12,060 --> 00:45:13,489
Oh, sir, you make
your decision yet?

641
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:16,540
Yeah, I did.

642
00:45:23,714 --> 00:45:26,716
So, what else
is on your mind?

643
00:45:26,717 --> 00:45:28,719
I know "Easy Company’s"
gonna need

644
00:45:29,669 --> 00:45:31,069
a commanding officer
post-war.

645
00:45:31,070 --> 00:45:33,010
Somebody to
hold their hand,

646
00:45:33,310 --> 00:45:34,659
keep them from
killing each other.

647
00:45:35,659 --> 00:45:37,419
It better
be somebody who knows
what they’re doing.

648
00:45:38,820 --> 00:45:40,129
Yep, I couldn’t
agree more.

649
00:45:40,379 --> 00:45:42,198
I mean, it’s absolutely
irresponsible to leave them

650
00:45:42,199 --> 00:45:43,439
in the hands of
the wrong person.

651
00:45:44,419 --> 00:45:46,780
They’re too much
of a valuable resource
to the military.

652
00:45:51,949 --> 00:45:53,449
So you’ve decided
to stay in the army?

653
00:45:54,750 --> 00:45:56,070
Yes, I’m gonna
stay with the men.

654
00:45:58,889 --> 00:45:59,800
Well, I’m glad
to hear it.

655
00:46:03,899 --> 00:46:05,810
Winters:
So some of us would
stay by choice,

656
00:46:06,770 --> 00:46:09,089
but others were stuck here
unless we could find excuses

657
00:46:09,090 --> 00:46:10,090
to send them away.

658
00:46:10,959 --> 00:46:12,459
So it’s
an airborne exhibition.

659
00:46:12,750 --> 00:46:14,628
They have one of
every Allied combat plane

660
00:46:14,629 --> 00:46:16,870
they’ve used in the war.
Uh-huh.

661
00:46:17,979 --> 00:46:19,300
I mean, yes, sir.

662
00:46:19,389 --> 00:46:20,739
You’ll be like
a technical adviser

663
00:46:20,740 --> 00:46:22,199
to make sure they get
everything right.

664
00:46:23,300 --> 00:46:24,359
I understand, sir.

665
00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:26,481
I’m sorry it’s not
a more hospitable location.

666
00:46:27,379 --> 00:46:29,969
No, sir.
Paris is just fine.

667
00:46:30,479 --> 00:46:32,030
You know, if you need--
if you need me to go,

668
00:46:32,129 --> 00:46:34,300
someone has to be there.
Yeah, we do,
we absolutely do.

669
00:46:35,100 --> 00:46:37,639
And your driver
will drop you off
at a hotel of your choice.

670
00:46:38,070 --> 00:46:41,560
And I don’t think
we’ll see you back here
any time soon.

671
00:46:43,689 --> 00:46:45,030
I won’t let
you down, sir.

672
00:46:58,335 --> 00:47:01,004
Carwood, yes.
Um...

673
00:47:02,750 --> 00:47:05,919
I wanted to say-- ahem,
as you probably know,

674
00:47:07,030 --> 00:47:09,148
the army,
when they give a man
a battlefield commission,

675
00:47:09,149 --> 00:47:10,148
make him an officer,

676
00:47:10,149 --> 00:47:12,693
they usually don’t let him
stay with the same company.

677
00:47:12,949 --> 00:47:15,529
Yes, sir, I figured
this was coming.

678
00:47:15,530 --> 00:47:18,575
Yeah, they’re afraid
the men won’t show him
the proper degree

679
00:47:18,929 --> 00:47:20,738
of respect as they would
another officer.

680
00:47:20,739 --> 00:47:22,949
It’s--
it’s a good theory, sir.

681
00:47:23,079 --> 00:47:26,010
It’s an idiotic theory,
especially in your case.

682
00:47:26,169 --> 00:47:28,779
Nevertheless,
they’ve given me the choice

683
00:47:28,780 --> 00:47:29,759
as to where
to re-assign you,

684
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:32,937
and I thought
battalion headquarters
might be a good place.

685
00:47:32,938 --> 00:47:35,356
I can think of
few better, sir.

686
00:47:35,357 --> 00:47:38,027
Good. Good.

687
00:47:40,580 --> 00:47:43,250
Right now,
down at the airfield,

688
00:47:43,580 --> 00:47:45,810
there is a German general
who is a little PO’d

689
00:47:46,060 --> 00:47:49,199
about having to surrender
to Private Babe Heffron
from South Philly.

690
00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:50,979
Thinks it’s
beneath his stature.

691
00:47:51,110 --> 00:47:53,310
Understandable, sir.
Yeah.

692
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:56,810
I thought
2nd Lieutenant Carwood Lipton
from West Virginia

693
00:47:57,510 --> 00:47:59,100
could soothe
his ruffled feathers.

694
00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:00,540
No problem, sir.

695
00:48:01,570 --> 00:48:05,469
Major, is this the type of job
I can expect from now on?

696
00:48:06,971 --> 00:48:08,973
Yeah. Yeah.

697
00:48:09,969 --> 00:48:11,719
When we’re not sunning
ourselves by the lake.

698
00:48:21,688 --> 00:48:23,731
Lieutenant.

699
00:48:33,219 --> 00:48:36,320
With your permission,
I would like to address
my men briefly.

700
00:48:36,419 --> 00:48:37,820
That’ll be fine, general.

Captain Sobel.
Major Winters.

702
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:53,377
Captain Sobel.

703
00:48:54,620 --> 00:48:56,179
We salute the rank,
not the man.

704
00:49:13,738 --> 00:49:15,530
Manner,

705
00:49:15,531 --> 00:49:18,075
es war ein langer Krieg.

706
00:49:18,076 --> 00:49:21,245
Es war ein harter Krieg.

707
00:49:21,246 --> 00:49:22,622
Liebgott?

708
00:49:24,590 --> 00:49:27,319
"Men, it’s been a long war.
It’s been a tough war."

709
00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:31,949
Ihr habt tapfer und stolz fur
euer Vaterland gekampft.

710
00:49:31,950 --> 00:49:34,869
"You have fought bravely,

711
00:49:35,129 --> 00:49:36,928
"proudly, for your country."

712
00:49:36,929 --> 00:49:39,932
Ihr seid
eine besondere Gruppe...

713
00:49:40,590 --> 00:49:41,898
"You are a special group..."

714
00:49:41,899 --> 00:49:45,777
...die ineinander einen
zusammenhalt gefunden Habt...

715
00:49:45,778 --> 00:49:48,530
"...who have found
in one another a bond..."

716
00:49:48,531 --> 00:49:53,453
...wie ersich nur
im kampf entwickeln Kann.

717
00:49:53,750 --> 00:49:55,688
"...that exists
only in combat."

718
00:49:55,689 --> 00:49:57,565
Unter Kameraden...

719
00:49:57,566 --> 00:49:59,149
"Among brothers..."

720
00:49:59,150 --> 00:50:01,026
Die Fuchshohlen
geteilkt haben...

721
00:50:01,027 --> 00:50:03,237
"...of shared foxholes."

722
00:50:03,238 --> 00:50:05,614
Die sich in
schrecklichen Momenten

723
00:50:05,615 --> 00:50:07,868
gegenseitig
geschutzt haben.

724
00:50:09,070 --> 00:50:10,839
"Held each other
in dire moments."

725
00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:16,345
Die den Tod
zusammen gesehen haheb

726
00:50:16,346 --> 00:50:19,029
und gemeinsam
gelitten haben.

727
00:50:19,030 --> 00:50:21,148
"Who’ve seen death
and suffered together."

728
00:50:21,149 --> 00:50:24,401
Ich bin stolz

729
00:50:24,402 --> 00:50:27,947
mit euch gedient
zu haben.

730
00:50:29,639 --> 00:50:32,609
"I am proud to have served
with each and every one
of you."

731
00:50:32,610 --> 00:50:37,072
Sie aller verdienen
am langsten gluckliches

732
00:50:37,073 --> 00:50:38,575
Leben und Frieden.

733
00:50:39,770 --> 00:50:42,159
"You deserve long
and happy lives of peace."

734
00:50:58,383 --> 00:51:00,551
Towel, towel, towel,
towel, towel.

735
00:51:00,552 --> 00:51:02,387
Thanks.

736
00:51:03,810 --> 00:51:05,019
Take a look
at these two kids.

737
00:51:05,020 --> 00:51:08,857
What the hell
happened to them?

738
00:51:10,540 --> 00:51:11,489
New Jersey, huh?

739
00:51:14,510 --> 00:51:17,209
Yeah.
Think about it.

740
00:51:18,590 --> 00:51:19,469
Yeah, I am.

741
00:51:22,229 --> 00:51:23,090
You awake yet?

742
00:51:24,466 --> 00:51:27,469
Awake?

743
00:51:28,229 --> 00:51:29,530
Time to
go to bed.

744
00:51:37,622 --> 00:51:40,750
(cheering)

745
00:51:47,548 --> 00:51:49,716
Come on,
we got one down.

746
00:51:49,717 --> 00:51:51,885
Come on, Pee Wee,
let’s get Webster.

747
00:51:51,886 --> 00:51:53,888
Man:
Come on, Pee Wee!
Let’s get him...

748
00:51:56,949 --> 00:51:59,109
Winters:
Buck Compton came back
to see the company,

749
00:51:59,110 --> 00:52:00,590
to let us know
that he was all right.

750
00:52:01,350 --> 00:52:03,350
He became a prosecutor
in Los Angeles.

751
00:52:04,020 --> 00:52:06,919
He convicted Sirhan Sirhan
in the murder of
Robert Kennedy,

752
00:52:07,300 --> 00:52:09,959
and was later
appointed to the California
Court of Appeals.

753
00:52:12,149 --> 00:52:14,809
David Webster
became a writer for
The Saturday Evening Post

754
00:52:14,810 --> 00:52:15,729
and Wall Street Journal

755
00:52:16,739 --> 00:52:18,260
and later
wrote a book about sharks.

756
00:52:19,300 --> 00:52:22,889
In 1961, he went out
on the ocean alone

757
00:52:23,580 --> 00:52:24,760
and was never
seen again.

758
00:52:28,959 --> 00:52:30,120
Man:
Go, go, go!

759
00:52:31,429 --> 00:52:34,139
Johnny Martin would return
to his job at the railroad

760
00:52:34,629 --> 00:52:36,689
and then start
his own construction company.

761
00:52:37,560 --> 00:52:40,429
He splits his time
between Arizona and a place
in Montana.

762
00:52:44,149 --> 00:52:47,969
George Luz became a handyman
in Providence, Rhode Island.

763
00:52:48,870 --> 00:52:50,610
As a testament
to his character,

764
00:52:50,959 --> 00:52:55,290
1600 people attended
his funeral in 1998.

765
00:52:57,379 --> 00:52:59,878
Doc Roe
died in Louisiana

766
00:52:59,879 --> 00:53:02,340
in 1998.

767
00:53:02,700 --> 00:53:04,770
He’d been
a construction contractor.

768
00:53:06,480 --> 00:53:08,732
Frank Perconte
returned to Chicago

769
00:53:10,219 --> 00:53:12,229
and worked a postal route
as a mailman.

770
00:53:19,530 --> 00:53:22,110
Joe Liebgott
returned to San Francisco

771
00:53:22,639 --> 00:53:23,669
and drove his cab.

772
00:53:26,219 --> 00:53:29,439
Bull Randleman was one of
the best soldiers I ever had.

773
00:53:30,469 --> 00:53:32,689
He went into the earth-moving
business in Arkansas.

774
00:53:32,950 --> 00:53:34,419
He’s still there.

775
00:53:42,870 --> 00:53:45,979
Alton More
returned to Wyoming
with a unique souvenir--

776
00:53:46,480 --> 00:53:48,719
Hitler’s personal
photo albums.

777
00:53:49,899 --> 00:53:53,320
He was killed
in a car accident in 1958.

778
00:53:55,020 --> 00:53:58,398
Floyd Talbert,
we all lost touch with
in civilian life,

779
00:53:58,399 --> 00:54:02,159
until he showed up
a reunion just before
his death in 1981.

780
00:54:05,179 --> 00:54:07,469
How we lived our lives
after the war

781
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:09,520
was as varied
as each man.

782
00:54:11,359 --> 00:54:13,708
Carwood Lipton became
a glass-making executive

783
00:54:13,709 --> 00:54:16,158
in charge of factories
all over the world.

784
00:54:16,159 --> 00:54:18,219
He has a nice life
in North Carolina.

785
00:54:19,540 --> 00:54:22,238
Harry Welsh--
he married Kitty Grogan,

786
00:54:22,239 --> 00:54:23,378
became an administrator

787
00:54:23,379 --> 00:54:25,510
for the Wilkes-Barre
Pennsylvania school system.

788
00:54:29,770 --> 00:54:31,438
Ronald Speirs
stayed in the army,

789
00:54:31,439 --> 00:54:33,941
served in Korea,
and in 1958,

790
00:54:34,500 --> 00:54:36,899
returned to Germany
as governor of Spandau Prison.

791
00:54:38,189 --> 00:54:39,770
He retired
a lieutenant colonel.

792
00:54:42,899 --> 00:54:45,276
Get ’em round.

793
00:54:48,259 --> 00:54:51,100
"Easy Company,"
school circle!

794
00:54:58,010 --> 00:55:00,779
For "Easy Company",
it was D-Day plus 434.

795
00:55:00,780 --> 00:55:03,575
A fast man would’ve
had it, Perco.

796
00:55:05,500 --> 00:55:07,739
Listen up,
got some news.

797
00:55:09,330 --> 00:55:11,309
This morning,
President Truman

798
00:55:11,310 --> 00:55:13,468
received the unconditional
surrender from the Japanese.

799
00:55:13,469 --> 00:55:16,013
War’s over.

800
00:55:19,060 --> 00:55:21,708
Regardless of points,
medals, or wounds,

801
00:55:21,709 --> 00:55:24,919
each man in the 101st Airborne
would be going home.

802
00:55:26,770 --> 00:55:29,800
Each of us
would be forever connected
by our shared experience.

803
00:55:31,729 --> 00:55:34,468
And each would have
to rejoin the world
as best he could.

804
00:55:34,469 --> 00:55:37,347
(cheering)

805
00:55:51,100 --> 00:55:53,770
Lewis Nixon
had some tough times
after the war.

806
00:55:54,219 --> 00:55:55,909
He was divorced
a couple of times,

807
00:55:56,639 --> 00:55:59,299
then in 1956, he married
a woman named Grace

808
00:55:59,300 --> 00:56:00,979
and everything
came together for him.

809
00:56:01,510 --> 00:56:04,139
He spent the rest
of his life with her,
traveling the world.

810
00:56:04,659 --> 00:56:07,699
My friend Lew
died in 1995.

811
00:56:09,840 --> 00:56:12,589
I took up his job offer
and was a personnel manager

812
00:56:12,590 --> 00:56:15,218
at the Nixon Nitration Works
until I was called back

813
00:56:15,219 --> 00:56:18,279
into service in 1950
to train officers and rangers.

814
00:56:18,280 --> 00:56:20,499
But I chose
not to go to Korea.

815
00:56:20,850 --> 00:56:22,419
I’d had enough of war.

816
00:56:23,300 --> 00:56:25,279
I stayed around
Hershey, Pennsylvania,

817
00:56:25,280 --> 00:56:26,989
finally finding
a little farm,

818
00:56:27,550 --> 00:56:29,419
a little peaceful
corner of the world,

819
00:56:29,929 --> 00:56:31,239
where I still live today.

820
00:56:32,100 --> 00:56:34,090
And there is not
a day that goes by

821
00:56:34,899 --> 00:56:37,080
that I do not think
of the men I served with

822
00:56:37,909 --> 00:56:40,449
who never got to enjoy
the world without war.

823
00:56:41,959 --> 00:56:46,358
It’s a very
unusual feeling.

824
00:56:46,359 --> 00:56:48,699
It’s a very
unusual happening,

825
00:56:48,889 --> 00:56:50,899
and it’s a very
unusual bonding.

826
00:56:51,120 --> 00:56:53,139
We knew that we could
depend on each other.

827
00:56:54,310 --> 00:56:57,060
And so, we were
a close-knit group.

828
00:56:57,149 --> 00:56:59,888
Just brave, so brave
it was unbelievable.

829
00:56:59,889 --> 00:57:03,688
And I don’t know anybody
that I admire more than

830
00:57:03,689 --> 00:57:06,316
Bill Guarnere
and Joe Toye.

831
00:57:07,239 --> 00:57:11,609
And they were
very, very special.

832
00:57:11,610 --> 00:57:14,821
I’m just one part of
the big war, that’s all.

833
00:57:14,822 --> 00:57:16,365
One little part.

834
00:57:16,500 --> 00:57:18,070
And I’m proud
to be a part of it.

835
00:57:19,959 --> 00:57:21,429
Sometimes it
makes me cry.

836
00:57:21,979 --> 00:57:25,059
The real men,
the real heroes
are the fellas

837
00:57:25,300 --> 00:57:27,009
that are still buried
over there

838
00:57:27,010 --> 00:57:29,209
and those that came home
to be buried.

839
00:57:29,739 --> 00:57:32,059
It seemed like you figured,
you thought that you could do

840
00:57:32,060 --> 00:57:35,289
just about anything.
And after the war was over

841
00:57:35,290 --> 00:57:36,409
and you came back out,

842
00:57:36,909 --> 00:57:40,279
well, you lost a lot of that,
or at least I did.

843
00:57:40,280 --> 00:57:41,609
I lost all
that confidence.

844
00:57:41,610 --> 00:57:45,780
We was hoping to stay alive,
that’s all, you know.

845
00:57:47,350 --> 00:57:50,570
Henry the Fifth
was talking to his men.

846
00:57:51,419 --> 00:57:55,669
He said, "From this day
to the ending of the world,
