You Can't Unsee the Guy with the Camcorder in Band of Brothers - Goof [0:00-5:01]

Did you know that you can see a guy from the future in Band of Brothers? Well sort of, in this video I'm going to show you a crazy goof that you probably never noticed while watching the series, and if like me you don't believe it when you first see it, I'm going to explain exactly where to find our time-traveling man for yourself. The scene in question is in the last episode of the series titled Points. Easy Company is just blasted through the mountain blockade and is entering the Bavarian town of Berkdisgodden, the former Nazi playground where many of the Third Reich's officers had homes. In the first shot as they are entering the town, we see the camera pan down a white flag hanging on the outside of a building, indicating that the town's people are peacefully surrendering. Harry Welsh can then be seen looking around. In the very next shot, at about the 9 minute 10 second mark, at least when streaming the episode on YouTube, the men are walking cautiously down the street and the second floor side window of a building comes into view with green shutters. If you look closely, you'll see what appears to be a man holding a modern video camera filming the action outside. Now when I say modern, of course I mean modern for the year 2000 when band of brothers was filmed. The video camera he's holding, which was commonly referred to as a camcorder, was modern at the time. To my knowledge, this goof was first pointed out in the band of brothers community on Reddit, which is where I discovered it. At first, I thought it might be fake, but no, it's really part of the scene. Now embarrassingly, I've watched band of brothers many times, but I've never noticed it, and the guy was right there in the window every time. It's funny to think that some of the actors walking along the street had to have noticed him too, but they didn't react to the fact that their characters would have found the strange device he was holding peculiar for the year 1945. The most logical conclusion is that camcorder guy, as he shall be aptly named, must have been a person who lived in the town where the scene was being filmed and wanted to capture the action outside, not realizing he would be in the shot, or perhaps not caring. Now you might be thinking that doesn't make sense, because as we know, almost all of the towns in the series were recreated on the massive 1100 acre backlot at Hatfield Aerodrome in Hertfordshire, England, a former airfield in factory site, where a 12 acre village set was redressed to represent 11 different European towns. However, the mountain town of Berchtesgodden in the series is one of the few cases where they didn't actually film on the Hertfordshire backlot. Instead, the scenes depicting Berchtesgodden, including the arrival into town, were filmed in Switzerland. The Swiss Alps provided the dramatic mountain scenery that couldn't be replicated on the flat English backlot. The specific shooting location for the 506 parachute infantry regiments arriving to Berchtesgodden in band of brothers was Noigasa Street in the picturesque town of Interlaken, Switzerland, which is in the Bernese Oberland region of the Swiss Alps. Using Google Maps, I was even able to track down the exact building our camcorder guy was filming from. It still looks very similar, at least it did in 2013, when the Google Street View photos were last updated. At the time, a printing business was located on the first floor, and the top three floors appeared to contain one or more residential units. In more recent years, it seems that a massage therapy business currently occupies all or part of the ground floor, according to listings online. I next attempted to solve the mystery of camcorder guy's identity by tracking down the current resident who lives there, hoping the person also might have lived there when band of brothers was filmed, or at least knew who did. How awesome would it be to see the footage the man in the window shot that day, or perhaps any photos he took of the production going on outside? However, after some searching, I learned that in Switzerland, private residential details, including details about who exactly lives in an apartment or house, are protected by strict privacy laws, which includes data protection. For now, camcorder guy's identity shall remain a mystery, but he is more than likely a curious local town's person, or perhaps he is indeed a Marty McFly-esque time traveler who is sent back to Kill Hitler, but arrived a little too late. In my research, I did notice another goof in the same scene, as they're walking down the street when camera guy comes into view, you can see a historic green and white residential villa with a spire up ahead and they're all clearly walking towards it. However, in the very next shot, they're all now walking away from the same green and white structure, are building with camera guys right here, but you can barely see it. So for to believe our eyes, they turned around without us noticing, and they're all basically
