Episode 2 - "Day of Days"
- During the D-Day paradrop, a round from an AA gun goes through the cockpit of one of the planes and takes the copilot's face off. The pilot he was talking to when it happened is understandably freaked, which leads to...
- The paratroopers in Winters's plane jumping from a plane that was flying too low and going too fast, resulting in the men getting scattered randomly behind enemy lines, often without much in the way of supplies due to losing their equipment bags in the jump.
- From the same episode, Winters and co. come upon the body of a paratrooper who landed in a tree and never got free. To make matters worse, the soldier's corpse is so mangled that one doesn't even realize it's a person at first.
Episode 3 - "Carentan"
- When Tipper gets wounded in the leg by an artillery shell, you can see the bone. And the remaining flesh, well, it twitches.
- Although it's not shown in the series, the real Ed shared later on that he had to have it removed in the hospital.
- A very similar scene occurs in The Breaking Point, made worse because it happens to both Toye and Guarnere, one after another, and as the shot pulls away, we're treated to the sight of their severed limbs.
- As the Battle of Bloody Gulch winds down, an unfortunate German soldier gets kneecapped and falls into the path of a retreating Jagdpanther, which squishes him into jelly underneath its treads. Feet first.
Episode 4 - "Replacements"
- The fate of the women who slept with the Germans in the Dutch village. They're stripped to their undergarments and have their hair cut off, some of them getting swastikas stamped on their foreheads. Another is found on the side of the road with a baby. Fridge Horror tells us that she was forced out of her village. And it's likely that the baby's father is the German she slept with — meaning the father is either dead or never going to see the child. Or worse: the father is a man in the town, meaning he allowed this to happen. Whatever the case, it's still an incredibly chilling scene — especially since it's in the middle of a festival and there's happy music and cheering going on.
- Bull accidentally getting left behind and having to spend an entire night hiding in a barn, while numerous German soldiers patrol outside.
Episode 5 - "Crossroads"
- Easy arriving at the titular crossroads leading to Bastogne, only to be greeted by an entire caravan of defeated soldiers. When Guarnere pulls one aside and tries to ask what the hell happened to them, the traumatized soldier gives them this chilling reply:"They came out of nowhere. They slaughtered us. You gotta get out of here."
- Keep in mind that by this point, Easy, along with the audience, has absolutely no idea what these men have faced, giving us what could probably be the best example of Nothing Is Scarier in this show so far.
- When Guarnere gets the idea to start taking what little ammo the returning soldiers have, one of them doesn't even resist, simply saying, "Take it. You'll need it," and when he walks away, Bill and Babe can be seen trading looks of horror.
Episode 6 - "Bastogne"
- An Easy company patrol runs into heavy fire from a German patrol, and one of the soldiers gets shot through the neck. As Babe Heffron tries (and fails) to get to him, we are treated to repeated (and uncomfortably long) shots of John Julian's blown-open trachea. And you know what's worse than that; they have to leave him behind.
- In a bit of Fridge Horror, late in the episode, Doc Roe, the focus character, goes back to Bastogne while it's being bombarded. He finds the Regimental Aid Station blown to bits, walks in, and finds Renee's headscarf, the nurse he met earlier and bonded with. He picks it up, dumbfounded, and is only able to leave when another medic harshly calls him outside. The angle of the shot is such that we, the viewers, only see him pick up the headscarf. But she wore it on her head: Doc Roe most probably had to take it from her broken and mangled body, perfectly explaining his shock.
Episode 7 - "The Breaking Point"
- The mortar shell that hits Muck and Penkala's foxhole. One second they're there and the next they're just... gone. Poor George Luz watches it happen, then finds a foxhole of his own, only for another shell to land right beside him.
- Made worse when you watch the scene more closely and see that Skip turned around and saw the shell land right before it exploded.
- One of the replacements succumbing to his fear and digging a foxhole. With his bare hands. According to Lip's narration, the man hadn't even noticed that he'd torn off all his fingernails.
- Lip having to run out and draw a German sniper's attention to himself, in order for Shifty to have a clear shot. The way he just collapses with relief against a wall when he realizes that Shifty was successful shows us just how terrified he actually was.
Episode 8 - "The Last Patrol"
- Eugene Jackson choking on his own blood as he dies.
Episode 9 - "Why We Fight"
- Frequent in this brutally realistic depiction of war, but the absolute worst has to be the concentration camp.Luz: Jesus, Web, can you believe this place?Webster: (stunned) No.Luz: My God.
- The absolute terror from the young German woman when she finds Luz and Perconte in the barn. They just want eggs and to flirt with her, but she doesn't know that. All she knows is the widespread rape occurring amongst German women on both the Eastern AND Western fronts (modern research and analysis shows that American/British/French soldiers raped women in Germany at almost the same rate as the more well-known Russian crimes). She probably thought she was going to be attacked (possibly not for the first time).
