Band of brothers Movie (2001)
The story of Easy Company of the US Army 101st Airborne division and their mission in WWII Europe from Operation Overlord through V-J Day.
This is the story of "E" Easy Company, 506th Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division from their initial training starting in 1942 to the end of World War II. They parachuted behind enemy lines in the early hours of D-Day in support of the landings at Utah beach, participated in the liberation of Carentan and again parachuted into action during Operation Market Garden. They also liberated a concentration camp and were the first to enter Hitler's mountain retreat in Berchtesgaden. A fascinating tale of comradeship that is, in the end, a tale of ordinary men who did extraordinary things.

It is probably the true to life depiction of world war two in europe. And I love long movies . . . lol. Most movies are so shoert, Just when you start liking the movie, It's over.
This was a very emotional movie. I really got involved with the characters & what they all went thru.
Excellent!
Did you have a parent or a grand parent who fought in WW2 in Europe from D Day on? This may be much what their experience was like for them. The boxed DVDs also contain interviews with some of the actual men depicted in the movie. Sadly this movie was made after many of the other characters depicted had already died of old age.
