Dick winters being harrassed by a man giving him a ride on his way back home from basic

'Next day Winters was up by 6 A.M. and on the road by 7. He grabbed a bus and rode to the edge of town, then stuck out his thumb. He almost immediately got a ride that carried him to Charles Town, West Virginia, arriving there by 4:30. It was starting to get dark. but he wanted to reach Clarksburg if possible, which would still give him three hundred miles to cover to get home. His luck was in, and Winters got another ride. Winters recalled that the driver was a "nice enough looking fellow" and a good conversationalist. Until he laid his hand on Winters' leg.

"We can find a nice hotel up ahead and have a good dinner," the man said. "Then I can make you feel happy."

"Here's a better idea," Winters said, lifting the man's hand away. "Do you see that crossroad up ahead? I'll be happy if you just stop right there so I can get out."

The man didn't argue and Winters found himself standing alone on a dark highway in the West Virginia mountains, miserable, cold and somewhat shaken by his unfamiliar experience with the car driver.'

BASEBALL SCENE BABEROE CRUMB 👀

That redhead is definitely Babe- he was at the baseball game and had his brown shirt on

(In the second part, if you look closely you see Babe slings an arm around a guy next to him, but I’m pretty certain that it’s not Roe 😭)

This seems like a good place to note that I saw a costume measurements sheet for BofB that said Babe had a 30in waist and I’ve been normal about that ever since.

In Company of Heroes, Lavenson's nephew tells a story about him punching some antisemitic officer and Ambrose just cries about how those citizen soldiers just fought their way in to the paratroops. 🙄

George Lavenson, I wish you got to stick around to punch more. Punch Steve. Buy your camp and live with your wife and family who never moved on from you.

He was way more than that guy who got shot in his pasty white ass while taking a crap, Richard.

do you think of me too?

The Pacific, JohnManny, M, 2.3k

February, 1943 Melbourne, Australia Undoing the buttons, he watches John's head nod in his peripheral, can smell the alcohol on his breath still. He makes the mistake of looking up and meeting his eyes. Big, brown, a little bloodshot and glassy. "You're good. Being s'good to me. Wish I could be good for you, too." Manny's hands still for a moment, while he watches John watch him. This close, it's clear the other's gaze isn't really focused on him, or anything for that matter. "You are good," he looks back on the rest of the buttons, working his way down to the last one, "You also need to go lay down."

Tom Hanks the people want to see a show solely focused on the Night Witches or the Tuskegee Airmen!

A show about the 442nd Infantry Regiment, the segregated unit of Japanese-Americans that was the most decorated unit in US military history, would be incredible! Seriously, just check out their Wikipedia page
