Big Fan of Band of Brothers
I read the book "Band of Brothers" before the series came. Not only did I watch every episode but I bought the DVD set and nearly all the books written in the aftermath from Major Winters, Lieutenant Compton, Sgt Malarky, Sgt Guarneare, Pvt. Hefron..
One funny story: After the war Pvt. Hefron and his brother (a sailor who served in the Pacific) sat down with their dad and started telling war stories. Hefron said "I had a German General surrender to me, at which his dad and brother said "can't take this much BS" and the conversation ended.
As the TV series was airing the episode came up where a German General surrenders to Pvt Hefron. His phone rings and it's his brother. He says, "You really DID have a general surrender to you!"
