List of Band of Brothers episodes 9 List of Band of Brothers episodes Band of Brothers, a ten-part television World War II miniseries based on the book of the same title written by historian and biographer Stephen Ambrose, was executive produced by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks after their collaboration on the World War II film Saving Private Ryan (1998). [1] The episodes first aired in 2001 on HBO and are still run frequently on various TV networks around the world. [2][3] The narrative centers on the experiences of E Company ("Easy Company") of the 2nd Battalion, 506th Infantry Regiment assigned to the 101st Airborne Division of the United States Army. The series covers Easy's basic training at Toccoa, Georgia, the American airborne landings in Normandy, Operation Market Garden, the Battle of Bastogne and on to the end of the war. [1] The events portrayed are based on Ambrose's research and recorded interviews with Easy Company veterans. A large amount of literary license was taken with the episodes, and other reference books will highlight the differences between recorded history and the film version. [4] All of the characters portrayed are based on actual members of Easy Company; some of them can be seen in prerecorded interviews as a prelude to each episode (their identities, however, are not revealed until the close of the finale). Spielberg and Hanks produced a sequel miniseries called The Pacific that premiered in March 2010. [5] Episode list # Title Directed by Written by Main character Original air date 1 "Currahee" Phil Alden Robinson Erik Jendresen & Tom Hanks Richard Winters & Herbert Sobel September 9, 2001 Easy Company is introduced to Captain Sobel, who has the group undergo hard drills and exercises. As a result, Sobel comes into conflict with his men, including Richard Winters, his executive officer (X.O). The company is shipped to England to prepare for D-Day. Sobel is eventually reassigned to jump school for medics among others. 2 "Day of Days" Richard Loncraine John Orloff Richard Winters September 9, 2001 Easy Company lands in Normandy, but is scattered all across the region and away from their designated drop zone. 1st Lt. Meehan, commander of Easy, is killed when his plane suffers a direct hit and 1st Lt. Winters must take command. With a small group of men, Winters takes out a set of German gun emplacements at Brécourt and thereby wins the respect of his fellow soldiers as a leader. 1st Lt. Speirs is introduced. 3 "Carentan" Mikael Salomon E. Max Frye Albert Blithe September 16, 2001 Easy Company are sent to liberate the French village of Carentan, where they lose several men in heavy fighting. Rumors start to circulate that Lt. Speirs killed a group of German prisoners of war. The episode focuses on Private Albert Blithe, who struggles with shell-shock following the battle. After he is finally spurred on and into action by Winters during a German counterattack, Blithe overcomes his fears but days later gets shot in the neck by a German sniper after volunteering to be lead scout in a patrol. 4 "Replacements" David Nutter Graham Yost & Bruce C. McKenna Denver "Bull" Randleman September 23, 2001 New characters are introduced when replacements join Easy Company, who struggle to be accepted by the veterans who fought at Normandy. The Company is sent to parachute into and fight in the Netherlands as part of Operation Market Garden, where they liberate Eindhoven. During combat in Nuenen, the replacements integrate themselves with the Company, but the Company is forced to retreat. The episode follows Sergeant Denver "Bull" Randleman, the replacements' immediate superior, as he evades German soldiers in Nuenen after being cut off and forced to stay there and must wait until the enemy leaves in the morning. 5 "Crossroads" Tom Hanks Erik Jendresen Richard Winters September 30, 2001 Winters writes a report on the challenge of an unexpected resistance to a German attack, and is haunted by his conscience after shooting a teenage German soldier; this flashback occurs several times in later episodes. Operation Pegasus is depicted. Easy Company is called to Bastogne to repel the sudden German counterattack. At the end of the episode, Captain Winters now effectively commands the whole battalion. 6 "Bastogne" David Leland Bruce C. McKenna Eugene "Doc" Roe October 7, 2001
