QI've heard that Tom Hanks appears in the series. Where?
AHe has a small cameo in episode 5, as a British paratrooper officer during the celebrations that follow operation Pegasus. And he is hard to spot, but as long as it remains available, you will be able to see a picture here: http://www.eeggs.com/items/37980.htmlHe also can be seen in episode 9 "Why We Fight". While Easy Company's drive to Thalem they pass a scene, where two french soldiers execute 3 German POWs. He is the French soldier, who executes the prisoners.
QWhat's the classical music played at the beginning and end of episode 9?
ALudwig van Beethoven: String quartet Op 131, 6th movement
QIs there a recommended viewing order for the series?
AWell, it is a series, but in order to get a better viewing experience, one can view the episodes so that they become more like a suite of four movies. Suite 1 = "Currahee", "Day of Days" and "Carentan" for the action in Normandy; Suite 2 = "Replacements" and "Crossroads" for Operation Market-Garden; Suite 3 = "Bastogne" and "The Breaking Point" for the Ardennes offensive; Suite 4 = "The Last Patrol", "Why We Fight" and "Points" for Germany and the end of the war.
