Herman Louis Finnell of the 3rd Division, 7th Regiment, Company I, states that he and his ammo carrier, Pfc. Fungerburg, were the first to enter the Eagle's Nest, as well as the secret passages below the structure. Finnell stated that the hallway below the structure had rooms on either side filled with destroyed paintings, evening gowns, destroyed medical equipment and a wine cellar. Band Of Brothers is relentless in its portrayal of the horrors and futility of war, as characters you’ve grown to warm to are suddenly cut down, with no warning whatsoever. This, clearly, doubles the challenge to the scriptwriters, who have to continue to round out the faces we see with three dimensional characters, but their work is quite brilliant here. Relationships are formed and torn apart, against a storyline recalling some key moments from the war. Einhorn, Dalton (2009).

Philip French of The Guardian commented that he had "seen nothing in the cinema this past year that impressed me as much as BBC2's 10-part Band of Brothers, produced by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks, and Ken Loach's The Navigators on Channel 4", and that it was "one of the best films ever made about men in war and superior in most ways to Saving Private Ryan." [51] Matt Seaton, also in The Guardian, wrote that the film's production was "on such a scale that in an ad hoc, inadvertent way it gives one a powerful sense of what really was accomplished during the D-Day invasion - the extraordinary logistical effort of moving men and matériel in vast quantities."
