Band of Brothers - Beethoven scene from Ep. 9 - Why We Fight

The beginning and the ending scenes of Ep. 9 'Why We Fight' of the 2001 TV series Band of Brothers - edited into a single scene. In the last weeks of WW2 in Europe, Germans are cleaning up the streets in a ruined town while musicians are playing the 6th movement of Beethoven's String Quartet No. 14 in C# minor (Op. 131). The episode focuses on the Allies finding a concentration camp near this town - realizing the brutal reality of the "final solution" of the "Jewish question" for the first time. Copyright owner of the video: HBO. https://www.hbo.com/band-of-brothers Uploaded for non-commercial purposes, meeting the criteria of Fair Use. Original idea: CokeaholicGamer - http://www.youtube.com/user/CokeaholicGamer Factual errors: - At the beginning of this episode, the date is supposedly April 11, 1945, while Captain Nixon says that Hitler had killed himself. However, Hitler did not kill himself until April 30, 1945. This was later officially acknowledged as an error in the show. - Later during the episode (most of which supposedly happens one month before the beginning/ending scenes), Nixon says that the President has just died. However, Franklin Roosevelt died on April 12, 1945. This is another unintended factual error in the TV show. - In reality, the liberation of this concentration camp (Kaufering Lager IV) occured on April 27, 1945, and it was discovered by the 134th Ordnance Maintenance Battalion of the 12th Armored Division. The 101st Airborne actually arrived at the site a day later, April 28. This was changed intentionally for dramatic purposes (as the show mostly focuses on the story of the 101st).
