  • Study Guide for Band of Brothers – Episode 7: the Breaking Point
    Study Guide for Band of Brothers – Episode 7: The Breaking Point INTRO: Band of Brothers is a ten-part video series dramatizing the history of one company of American paratroopers in World War Two—E Company, 506th Regiment, 101st Airborne, known as “Easy Company.” Although the company’s first experience in real combat did not come until June 1944 ( D-Day), this exemplary group fought in some of the war’s most harrowing battles. Band of Brothers depicts not only the heroism of their exploits but also the extraordinary bond among men formed in the crucible of war. As the title of this episode suggests, the seventh episode sees Easy Company pushed to “the breaking point” after more and more unrelenting combat. After successfully thwarting the German counterattack in the Ardennes, Easy Company is sent to take the Belgian town of Foy. The company suffers, however, from more casualties, sinking morale, and lapses in leadership. This episode, more than any other perhaps, depicts the great emotional and psychological strain that soldiers endured in battle. CURRICULUM LINKS: Band of Brothers can be used in history classes. NOTE TO EDUCATORS: Band of Brothers is appropriate as a supplement to units on World War Two, not as a substitute for material providing a more general explanation of the war’s causes, effects, and greater historical significance. As with war itself, it contains graphic violence and language; it is not for the squeamish. Mature senior high school students, however, will find in it a powerful evocation of the challenges of war and the experience of U.S.

Building upon previous scholarship regarding World War II and memory (Beidler, 1998; Wood, 2006; Bodnar, 2010; Ramsay, 2015), this dissertation analyzes key works including Saving Private Ryan (1998), The Greatest Generation (1998), The Thin Red Line (1998), Medal of Honor (1999), Band of Brothers (2001), Call of Duty (2003), and The Pacific (2010) in order to better understand the version of World War II promulgated by Stephen E. Ambrose, Tom Brokaw, Steven Spielberg, and Tom Hanks. Arguing that this time period and its World War II representations

  • HBO's Band of Brothers
    HBO’s Band of Brothers: Countertendencies and the World War II Combat Film Genre JAMIE BOWEN Torben Grodan defines “genre” as a category or set of characteristics given to describe a piece of fictional work (162). These fictional works are complex and can be analyzed and categorized in different ways, therefore making it difficult to have one-size-fits-all categories (genres) in which to place fictional works (162). The War film genre is no different, which has led to the creation of subgenres, such as Prisoner of War (POW), war as propaganda, antiwar, and the World War II (WWII) combat genre. Some even argue that the war genre is the “most difficult” of the genres to characterize (Solomon 242). A great example of this is the renowned WWII docudrama Band of Brothers (2001). At first glance, and according to many viewer and film critic reviews, the miniseries follows the traditional glorified and heroic genre characteristics of a WWII combat film while simultaneously guiding the audience through an authentic portrayal of the horrors of war. It transcends the genre by balancing between it and its antithesis, the antiwar genre. This paper argues that Band of Brothers is truly unique in that it goes beyond the traditional scope of either the antiwar or WWII combat film by showing the complexity of human nature and its propensity for both good and evil. WWII was perhaps the last war that was highly publicly favored. The soldiers were viewed as the “good ole boys” or the “greatest generation” and war was romanticized in popular culture.

Orientadora: Profa. Dra. Anelise Reich Corseuil Florianópolis 2015 v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS It is with great pleasure that I write these acknowledgements and cherish the amazing memories of the past two years. Firstly, I would like to thank my family for their unconditional support: my father Limar, who has always been the one I can count on in any circumstance of my life; my mother Roseli, whose loving words have at all times found a way to soothe my worries; my brother Crystie and sister-in-law Michele for always encouraging me to pursue my goals; and my grandmother Ladir, whose passing taught me to appreciate life even more. Oh yes, I also happen to have a sister, Janaina, who is my companion in this bumpy journey and has always been on my side. Many a days have we spent discussing each other's works, proofreading chapters, arguing over word choices, and watching plays and films. I would not be where I am now without her constant support. I would also like to thank Professor Anelise Corseuil, my advisor, for her enormous patience and wisdom in lending me a hand. Since the undergraduate days she has always had an open and wise attitude towards challenges and offered her steady guidance in dire moments.

  • NCO History Brief
    NCO History Brief Band Of Brothers By MSG Matthew Barnes Good morning SGM Spade and fellow classmates of R05, I am MSG Barnes and over the course of the next several minutes I will be giving you an unclassified information brief on E. Company 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, or perhaps better known as the Band of Brothers. The purpose of this brief is to give you a better insight on what these courageous men accomplished from the time they were formed as a unit through the end of WW II. I will talk about when they were formed, the type of Soldiers these men were, their campaign in Europe, and talk about several of the Noncommissioned Officers that led this company. The book, Band of Brothers, by Stephen A. Ambrose was turned into a 10 part miniseries by HBO and directed by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks. This miniseries documents the formation of Easy Company through the end of WW II and has been hailed as one of the most accurately depicted and portrayed miniseries of WWII to date. Easy Company 2nd Battalion 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment was formed at Camp Toccoa, Georgia in the early months of 1942. The 506th was born as part of a new concept, which was Parachute Infantry. The first commander of Easy Company was 1LT Herbert Soebel, a man of conviction for what was right, he was more about standards than he was about caring for his Soldiers. During routine in ranks inspections he was proud of how he could find the most the most minute of infractions, such as rust on a hinge plate of a weapon or a dirty bayonet to threads protruding from a newly sewn rank on a uniform.
