Band of Brothers E9 discovering POW camp

[Johnnyweetabix]

Just going through this series again and episode 9 where they discover the POW camp has to be one of the most upsetting and moving scenes in any tv show . Truly harrowing and still feels unbelievable to this day. Good job my missus wasn’t around to the see the eyelash I had in my eye …. What a show , never be beaten.

Based on the real discovery of Bergen Belsen and dachau that the allies discovered as they stormed into Germany and documented the horrors that they uncovered and showed to the wider world ( the Russians “liberated” auschwicz) there’s real footage taken by the troops from the reporters that travelled with them. They made the villagers come into the camp to see for them selves.

But I agree it was well done and very much in keeping with what they really found.

Cheers Mattie, haven't got that channel on my TV package.q

I wouldn't call the concentration camps pow camps.
The largely contained, and slaughtered, innocent men, women and children who weren't fighting a war.
Beyond horrific.

Prisoner of war camps referred to combatants so you’re right there.

Yes I realised my error after positing ….

I recently watched The Zone of Interest which is shocking in a different way. So close to death and extermination yet so far away.

 

[Legz]

Every time we revisit this series I struggle to watch this episode

 

[Tryasize10]

I recently got a now TV subscription just to watch BoB again as my dvd player finally died.

Think I've watched it around 15 times and Episode 9, Why we Fight, still disturbs me.

 

[Acklam_Lad]

Yeah that episode always gets me.

Also the Bastogne episode of December /January 1944

When I was a kid and I'd watch the World at War with me dad (nice family viewing) there was an episode on that about the camps, and I asked him (as a D-Day vet) if he'd seen one, and the way he described it was as if he'd been in exactly the same situation as Easy Company in that they'd liberated one. Now I'm not sure if he was 'first there' or taken to see it after the event, but he said that's what it was like. He never talked about it again, though to be fair that applied to most of it.

Yeah, absolutely brilliantly done in BoB, if that's the right phrase for it

World at War still holds up remarkably well.

World at War still holds up remarkably well.

Yeah it does - made barely 20 years after it had ended.

For context, that's the same period of time since we won the League Cup.

 

[NorthumberlandBoro]

World at War still holds up remarkably well.

Should be compulsory viewing at schools.
It's excellent.

 

[Jonny_Rondos_Disco_pants]

There is a conspiracy that they were all actors that were filmed at one camp. Every prisoner left weeks earlier. The usual pro russian, anti vax, flat Earth morons pushing it.

That was the footage I was alluding to earlier

You can get it on sky catch up, on demand. I’ve just watched it all again. Brilliant.
