One of my favorite series of all time - I've seen it through at least a dozen times by now. When they made The Pacific as a follow up a few years ago I was a bit disappointed that it didn't draw me in and keep me coming back like Band of Brothers did. It was definitely a fantastic series, but Band of Brothers is a hard one to beat.

Author's Note: My grandfather related to me a story exactly similar to the example portrayed in Band of Brothers long before this series was produced or screen adapted. I memorialized Cpl Beades in my post on The Sinking of The RMS Laconia He was with the 9/4. I know they were in the region and crossed The Rhine River. He related the event to me starkly when he said,
