Como anécdota, a medida que avanzaban por Francia los soldados norteamericanos descubrían en los pueblos auténticas bodegas llenas de un vino que en su vida habían visto ni probado. Se ponían las botas con él.These men left home, went through absolute hell, fought, killed, and a lot of them died for us. It breaks my heart that it happened at all, and my heart swells with a gratefulness that is impossible to put into words. After reading this book, I feel like I know these men. I think about them every day, and I mourn, knowing that they are no longer with us. First off, Easy Company suffered 150% casualties. ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY PERCENT. They invaded Normandy on D-Day, the Netherlands in Market Garden, fought in Bastogne and the Battle of the Bulge, liberated a Concentration Camp, and were one of the first to the Eagle's Nest, Berchtesgaden. There was no safe path for Easy Company. Scally, Derek (March 30, 2013). "Band of Brüder: a German view of wartime". The Irish Times. Archived from the original on November 16, 2020 .

Philip French of The Guardian commented that he had "seen nothing in the cinema this past year that impressed me as much as BBC2's 10-part Band of Brothers, produced by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks, and Ken Loach's The Navigators on Channel 4", and that it was "one of the best films ever made about men in war and superior in most ways to Saving Private Ryan." [51] Matt Seaton, also in The Guardian, wrote that the film's production was "on such a scale that in an ad hoc, inadvertent way it gives one a powerful sense of what really was accomplished during the D-Day invasion - the extraordinary logistical effort of moving men and matériel in vast quantities." [52]After watching the television miniseries a couple times through and really enjoying it for its humanity, I thought it was time I gave the book a go. There isn't much difference between the two. The timeline and events depicted in the series stay fairly true to the book, showing the birth of the legendary Easy Company as it goes through basic training, enters the war and fights through an almost endless array of seemingly impossible missions until the European theater came to a close. I think many if not most will be familiar with this book as it's not only been around a while, sold well and gotten a lot of notice it's also the inspiration behind a TV edition.
