#4 "Battle of the Bulge" Scene from "Band of Brothers"

The multi-part series, "Band of Brothers," follows the combat missions of the Easy Company in the 101st Airborne paratrooper division during World War II. The complete series could find a place in this category, but I chose the Battle of the Bulge Depiction. The series was produced by Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg, and their attention to specific historical details is evident. This scene details the harsh environmental conditions, and constant casualties the soldiers faced during this battle. The soldiers were sent to the combat lines with inadequate winter clothing, food, and ammunition. The unforgiving climate and constant bombardment by the German Soldiers, injured and killed many Allied Soldiers. The medics were constantly placed in dangerous situations to aid those that were wounded in battle. The medic in this scene rushes to the side of an injured soldier during a combat situation.
