Blu-Ray.com gives it a 4.5/5 on audio : "What WWII in HD may at least partially lack in image quality, due to its variegated source material, it at least partially compensates for by an incredibly bombastic DTS HD-MA 5.1 mix. This is one of the most literally assaultive sound mixes in recent memory, with shots zinging to and fro between surrounds, and at times an almost overwhelming amount of LFE in terms of explosions and other thundering noises. As off putting as that may sound, it in fact only helps to make the battle footage that much more visceral, helping the viewer to understand the emotionally devastating day to day existence these brave souls endured. Dialogue is crisp and clean, with Sinise’s narration always front and center and mixed extremely well into the overall soundfield, so that foley effects never overwhelm him. Some of the archival sound material, as in some of President Roosevelt’s speeches, for example, do sound somewhat compressed, with obviously lower fidelity, but it’s not really that bothersome in the long run. As mentioned in the body of the review above, this series is an absolute marvel of sound effects editing, and for those of you attuned to such things, you’ll be consistently impressed with the care the sound effects editors have taken with this project."

mpompey Senior Audioholic Feb 25, 2010 #7 Band of Brothers was an excellent series, although I have to admit I hate when Hollywood re-writes history for the sake of viewership. After watching to the Moon, I was disappointed in the series regarding their depiction of the Battle of the Bulge.
