Losgelöst von einer Maßstäbe setzenden (Mini)Serie, ist es eine Aneinanderreihung von Interviews mit den Zeitzeugen um das Fallschirmjägerregiment der hundert und ersten US-Luftlandedivision, der Easy Company. Sobald die Doku mit der Serie verschwimmt, ist an einigen Stellen Gänsehaut angesagt.

Eine Serie die ich mir seitdem Releases mindestens einmal im Jahr in den Player werfe - und hier die Doku doch tatsächlich zum ersten Mal – ist es eine, logisch, sehr gestaute Zusammenfassung ihrer „Reise" als Dokumentation durch das Schlachtfeld Europa.

Abgesehen davon, schließlich handelte es sich um ein Dokumentationsfilm und nicht um eine Dokumentationsserie, ist die Doku die Schokoladenstreusel für eine der wohl besten Serien aller Zeiten.
Veterans of Easy Company talk about the events they lived through that were portrayed in the Band of Brothers mini-series and novel. It's a great documentary with the entire story coming straight from the mouths of the men who lived through the events. It hosts some positively priceless commentaries by the men of Easy Company. If you're a fan of Band of Brothers, don't skip on this documentary!

Ich habe die Band of Brothers Serie zuhause auf DVD. Da habe ich gemerkt, dass da noch eine Doku dabei ist. Und da ich morgen den 2. Weltkrieg Test habe, habe ich gedacht, ich schaue mir doch diese Doku einfach mal an. Vielleicht lerne ich ja noch was dazu.

Bewegende Bilder. Das ist definitiv die beste Doku die ich jemals gesehen habe. Diese Männer sind wahre Helden. Mögen die, die es nicht geschafft haben, in Frieden ruhen.
After watching the series over 2-3 days this documentary of the real men behind band of brothers brings home the whole story.

The men of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division, Easy Company are real heroes.
Some very brave men talking about their experiences like it wasn't a heroic act when it certainly was. A tribute to a group of soldiers that helped to shape the world and hopefully made it a little better. 18 years have passed since this doc and I'm sure some have passed away but I hope that most are still alive and are still living life to its fullest.
There are no words really. I'm no advocate for war, but it certainly wasn't a decision made by these fine, fine men.
A fittingly moving accompaniment to HBO's frankly astonishing Band of Brothers. These men will never be forgotten for their bravery in the line of duty.
The greatest fucking generation. Truly selfless fucking patriots.
Solid documentary chronicling the story of the 101st Airborne Division's infamous Easy Company, the same men immortalized in the limited series Band of Brothers. It is a heartbreaking, uplifting, and awe-inspiring look at the suffering and bravery of the Americans who served in WWII. Definitely worth a watch if you're into that sort of movie, which I am.
An interesting companion piece to the main series. It's wild to me how well the actors captured the likenesses of the real life guys. It really underlines just how much care and work went in to making Band of Brothers as accurate as possible.
The companion piece. It's not bad but it's a companion piece. This is just a step above a teaser stinger that major theatres will play between films to promote it. Good.
It's not easy to review this, anyone who truly knows me knows that I absolutely love Band of Brothers, I've seen the mini series countless times.
This was such an emotional documentary, so heart-rending, but at the same time so important.
These men went through inconceivable horrors, they never truly got the recognition they deserved.
I feel really fortunate to not have been born during those war years, and I admire immensely those who lived through them and kept their minds sane.
Highly recommend the TV series and also this documentary, which is a great companion to the series.
