Band of Brothers
I’m the movie going to talk about is about Easy Company of the 101st airborne 506th parachute infantry regiment also known as the Band of Brothers. First I will talk about the interviews then about special effects and finally I will talk a little about the Airborne and Easy Company.
Major Dick Winter was with Easy Company from training to the jump into Normandy to the push into Germany. Bill Goners was nickname “Wild Bill” because the day before the jump he found out that his brother was KIA in Italy. So when dick winters said to get into posited he did but as soon as the Germans were in sight he open fire from then on they call him “Wild Bill.”
The special effects in the Band of Brothers was awesome. They used real guns, uniforms, and tanks from World War 2. They used the Sherman M4 tank that the Allied used and Panzer and Tiger tanks that the Germans used. They also used the Browning .50 cal., M1A1 Bazooka, Thomson SMG, Luger, Walter P38, MP40, M1Grand, Mortar, Browning .30 cal., Flak 88, MG42, Mouser, Flak 38, AA .50 cal, and wore German Uniforms, U.S. Uniforms, and British Uniforms.
The 101st Airborne was formed during World War 2. They had intense training at camp Cheeha were Easy Company was formed. Easy Company Jump into Normandy then Belgium than Denmark then Germany. The pay for the Airborne was $50 a week.
In conciliation the Band of Brothers were on the Front line all of the time. When they were in Europe they suffered the highest casualties of 150 percent of there Unit.
