From executive producer Tom Hanks, the HBO miniseries Band of Brothers tells the story of a collection of soldiers from the 506th Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division of the United States Armed Forces, also known as "Easy Company", during World War II. The ten-episode story spans from 1942 during the group's training to the conclusion of fighting in Europe, and focuses on the experiences and tribulations of the individuals fighting for the Stars and Stripes in addition to important events such as D-Day and the liberation of Holocaust survivors. The series features stars including Damian Lewis (Homeland), Ron Livingston (Office Space), Donnie Wahlberg and Michael Fassbender.
One of the best War movie series put together. Great cast and kudos to Spielberg/ Hanks for their work to get this collection made. Visuals and special effects along with extras make this a must.

This series based on the U.S. Army 101st Airborn Division's inception and missions from Operation Overlord to V-J day. I found it to be moving, though it had a couple of historical inaccuracies...they did not liberate Kaufering, a sub camp of Dachau, but arrived the day after it was discovered by the 134th Ordnance Maintenance Battalion of the 12th Armored Division, and which Allied unit first reached and breached Kehlsteinhaus is still disputed. The Battle of the Bulge sequences were heart-wrenching. What these heroes of Easy Company experienced was so vividly portrayed on screen. It was hard to watch at times. Excellent drama.

The blu-ray quality is amazing, as is the sound. The extras offer a great lesson in history, and an interesting background to the action in the miniseries.

If you ever wondered what our fathers/grandfathers had to go through in fighting Germany during the 2nd world war, this should answer much of it. Produced by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks, the series follows the Paratroopers of Easy Company from training, through D-day, and all the way into Germany. Based on the real stories of the men who lived through it, and even featuring interviews with them. These men were heroes in the truest sense of the word, and what they did will stay with you forever.

My father thoroughly was appreciative for receiving this as a Christmas gift! The value was great. And the quality of the series is extraordinary. I'm in the minority and prefer The Pacific (my grandfather served there during WWII) but still a strong series from Spielberg.

Came in looking for a smart watch. Had questions and associate was very helpful. As it turned out, a smart watch was NOT what I needed to accomplish task. I did purchase sonic toothbrush and used a gift certificate I had forgotten about x yrs! Again, associate was pleasant at checkout.

I already had a copy of Band of Brothers but there had been a sneaky game going between my best friend and I so I just bought a second copy so we could both have it. Band of Brothers is one of the best based on a true story shows ever. If you haven’t watched it and have the absolute to deal with realistic war situations watch this show.
