Based on the bestseller by Stephen E. Ambrose, the epic 10-part miniseries Band of Brothers tells the story of Easy Company, 506th Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division, U.S. Army. Drawn from interviews with survivors of Easy Company, as well as soldiers' journals and letters, Band of Brothers chronicles the experiences of these men who knew extraordinary bravery and extraordinary fear. They were an elete rifle company parachuting into France early on D-Day morning, fighting in the Battle of the Bulge and capturing Hitler's Eagle's Nest at Berchtesgaden. They were also a unit that suffered 150 percent casualties, and whose lives became legend.

Summary: Band of Brothers
Comment: Great series. My husband has wanted this for quite sometime. He was greatly suprised when he opened the box. My uncle fought in the Battle of the Bulge and was taken prisoner by the Germans. This series protrays the battle "spot on" to what he told us about it.
Thank you HBO for putting it out on CD's.

Summary: Essential Introduction to the Greatest Generation To the Next Generation
Comment: 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.
