This is probably the best series ever! We will enjoy watching this, our whole family, for a long, long time! We love quoting what the actors are saying - we all have our favorites - we love them all! It would be a steal at twice the price!

Historically accurate, yet heartwarming & amazing!
Very historically acurate account of "E" Company of the 506th parachute infantry - this movie was not fiction - it was made of entirely the real experiences of these very real men & even has interviews at the end of the surviving members! Totally amazing! I am hard-pressed to imagine, even after watching the movie just once (though I will watch it many more times) how they did what they did. Running into fire, into bullets, etc. What the rest of us would "take cover" for, they just did. I also can't get over the amazing tactics they somehow knew to 'take' the enemies position, etc. and also the medical knowledge these 'kids' had. I always had respect for their generation. Now, I have a heightened respect, if that is possible.

True testament to a history actually lived
I've wanted to see this movie for a long time. It was based on a true story of the uprising in the Warsaw Ghetto during WWII. The characters were all based on real characters. It was amazing & a real testament to human dignity & respect. My aunt came in while I was watching (it was hard to watch because it was scary) & asked why I was watching such a scary movie. I said "because it's history". We need to watch true histories like these so we don't forget. Also, the acting was supurb & the extra features excellent with real people who lived through it!
