One Band of Brothers episode features the edelweiss flower alongside some interesting lore, but what is the real story behind the alpine plant?
The real meaning behind the edelweiss flower in Band of Brothers reaches far back into the history of Alpine nations. Though little more than a small white flower, Steven Spielberg’s acclaimed HBO World War II miniseries Band of Brothers referenced the edelweiss in its third episode, Carentan.
The True Story Behind The Band Of Brothers Edelweiss Flower During the Carentan episode, Pvt. Blithe discovers a dead German soldier in the woods and spots the edelweiss pinned to his lapel. Captain Lewis Nixon then explains what the flower means, stating that because it grows above tree level and must be actively sought out, Germanic folklore considers edelweiss the mark of a true soldier.
