The pursuit of humanity

Thank you so much for this drama, I didn't get such a shock when I watched the original! The thinking about war and the pursuit of humanity have reached an unattainable level. Especially in the tenth episode of points, the encouraging words to the soldiers were uttered by a German officer, not Winters, not being an allied army, and not on the side of the good. It seems to remind us that German soldiers are also human. ! They are not tools of massacre. They also want peace, family reunion, and the suffering of both sides caused by the war. What have the victorious soldiers got? Will they be better than the soldiers of the defeated country?
It seems that mankind has never loved peace. In the entire history of mankind, no era has left war. Every country participating in war seems to believe that war can bring peace. But it can also be inferred: peace brings war! The cycle and reincarnation is the truth!
"Brothers" is too loyal to history, it is difficult to find out which place in the entire 10 episodes has a historical source, but there are still people who are interested in finding some (Wikipedia): The third episode implies that Lipton shot and killed a prisoner of war (German paratrooper) , But according to the real Lipton, his troops did not shoot prisoners.
The text at the end of Episode 3 stated that Albert Blithe was shot in the neck by a German sniper when he was a pioneer and died in 1948. In fact, he was shot in the shoulder and returned to the battlefield after he recovered. After World War II, he participated in the Korean War. He became a second sergeant major and died on December 17, 1967. [1] In
episode 4, Corporal Denver "Bull" Randleman told a supplementary soldier that the bayonet on the M1 Garand rifle would affect accuracy. In fact, it was due to the advancement of the center of gravity rather than the quality of the gun itself.
The ninth episode was on April 11, 1945, when E Company was in Thalem, Germany. Captain Lewis Nixon announced that Hitler had committed suicide, but Hitler did not commit suicide until April 30, 1945.
I really appreciate that the shooting techniques and angles of each episode are different, and the narrators are also different. I really like the episode of the team doctor Eugene Luo’s tone. This is a part of the people who are often ignored in war movies. They can’t have too much emotion. They can give first aid if they can. If they can’t, they need to find everything from the body. Things that can be used. The amount of morphine used must be very large throughout World War II, and every soldier carried it with them, but would someone addicted to morphine after the war ended?
The first company commander, Captain Sauber, is actually starring Ross in "Friends". He is a person who wants to laugh at a glance. He didn't expect to play a funny role here.
