As i promised before, here comes more of my reviews on the next episodes of Band of Brother series

The Patrol ....(****1/2)

This is the story after german forces have been defeted at most parts of the world. With the war perhaps winding down, Easy Company is then moved into an Alsacian town near the German border. Still on the front line, the men get to sleep in houses, just across a small river from German forces doing the same thing. They are asked to send a patrol across the river to take some Germans prisoner, an assignment no one wants to be picked from. Except Lt. HANK JONES, fresh in from West Point and eager for combat experience. He's put in charge of 2nd platoon, alongside Sgt. DON MALARKEY ,who is still broken up about losing so many friends at Bastogne. When Malarkey is picked to lead the patrol, Jones asks to go in his place, and Capt. WINTERS okays it. Also getting the call is Pvt. DAVID WEBSTER (Eion Bailey), our narrator, returning to the company after having missed all of Bastogne for a wound. He finds it's not so easy to gain the acceptance of his old buddies. In the end, the patrol is successful in retrieving two prisoners, but Easy loses a man killed. The way they have picturised the patrol was really superb and the blitzkrieg that goes on the city in which they stay is also shown well. Seeing all this, Winters disobeys an order to send a second patrol the next night. All in all a good movie to watch...

Why We fight *****

This is one of the best one in the series. In this, Easy Company finally enters Germany, where they find no resistance, and begin kicking residents out of their homes for the night so they can sleep. It is really a bad thing to do. But it is germany because of which hey needed to wage such a war. They find the "enemy" to be industrious and not much different from them, and the veterans enjoy a chance to relax and even "fraternize" with the locals. Maj. WINTERS is concerned about his friend Capt. NIXON, who returns from a disastrous combat jump with another unit, cynical about the war and drinking heavily. After getting news that President Roosevelt has died, Easy heads out to another German town, from which Winters sends a small patrol into a forest. The patrol finds an abandoned concentration camp, with hundreds of emaciated and still imprisoned inmates, mostly Jewish -- a surprise to Winters and everyone else. The director has nearly brought the concentrations camps back to our sight. It was really sympathetic to watch such things. The Company start to feed and release them, but then are ordered to herd them back into the camp so that their recovery can be monitored. This was done by a soldier who knows german. He couldnt control his feelings when he asks the ppl to go back to the concentration camps. Then they supervise the cleanup of the camp and its many corpses by the disgusted local citizenry -- who disavow prior knowledge of its existence. Atlast they get the news that Hitler has killed himself.

I still need to watch the last part... Lets see wats there in store for me.
