Overall, I don't just give this 5 stars but also A+. I love Normandy just as much as I love Dunkirk and Band Of Brothers does an awsome job at illustrating what those sons had to do. This series gives my deepest respects to lieutenant Winters and the 506th parachute infantry regiment. All of these men both pilots and infantry who lived and died that night, I salute them. Both American and German who have lived and died serving their homes, their families and their country. They're all brothers.

I love band of brothers dont get me wrong. I have watched the series so many times I have found A LOT of historical inaccuracies. First and most noticable is that they call german tanks tigers even though german tanks are called panzers. There is a german tank called a tiger but is much different. It has no turret just a cannon that goes up and down. There are several more. Lots more actually. Its a great series just dont expect to learn anything cus it is all pretty much incorrect.
