The assault of the guns at Brecourt Manor is my favorite scene. Brilliant depiction of small unit tactics. I wish they did a better job explaining the significance of the tanks that show up at the end, though. The beach commander at Omaha ordered a tank platoon to Brecourt to relieve Winters' men. Those tanks crashed through the hedges to root out the remnants of the platoon that had been guarding the guns. Sink scratched off a letter informing Winters that those tanks were sent as thanks for eliminating the guns and for finding the map that showed German positions.

The thing about that scene that does it for me is to compare how, for lack of a better term, gung-ho Buck Compton is in that scene, and then remember how absolutely broken he was less than a year later.

Also, BoB (along with Boomtown) has me convinced that Donnie Wahlberg is a vastly underrated actor. Who would have thunk it?
