okay, but the one part of Band of Brothers I have beef with (even though it's a really fun line), is where Lewis Nixon says something akin to "I've seen the states- I grew up there- that's why I came to Europe- I just wish they had told me there was a war on"
Now, I don't think as a community we appreciated just HOW rich Lewis Nixon's family was.
Besides the fact that he grew up partially with the "old money" families of Europe and vacationed there mostly every summer with family (including the two months in the summer to Germany in 1934 when he was fifteen).
Nixon lived in New York City and Montecito, California (because his family was rich AF and his parents were already on the way to divorce); he traveled the world extensively, visiting Germany, France, and England. This is besides the fact I know for a fact they also had a residence in Palm Beach, Florida, aside from Nixon Nitration Works in New Jersey.
So in my head not to be a wet blanket I just like to imagine Nixon constantly downplaying how obnoxiously rich he is even to Dick Winters, but then doing things canonically and historically like BUYING HIM AN ENGRAVED KNIFE BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT NORMAL NON-RICH PEOPLE DO NIX
