Everything you know about all the WW II classics is archaic, obsolete, blown away by the fantastic Tom Hanks and Richard Spielberg production called Band of Brothers.


Believe me, I'm a fan. I quiz my wife on upcoming lines in Tora Tora Tora, Midway and The Longest Day. She hates the game, but has seen them all so many times she knows.(which of the Strawberries finds the Fleet?)


Band of Brothers is truth. There is no propaganda either way. The DVD has Lt Winters in the flesh along with his noncoms and soldiers. Had the producers not done a good job, the comments by those actually there would not have been made. They would have not permitted their voices to be heard contributing to a lie.

There will be a day, not tomorrow, but I will rent them all, start at 8:00 am and watch the whole day......

Someone said 5 already, so I'll guess strawberry 12. I think it was one of those two.

My late wife had the entire dialog of “Midway” memorized.
