Timeline

Since the series, his son Michael Sobel has spoken out on his behalf, and the Band of Brothers book and miniseries have been criticized for their portrayal of Sobel, and for the book's depiction of Jewish soldiers. An Ohio Jewish newspaper observed in 2022 that "in many ways, how Ambrose and the men of Easy Company thought of Sobel simply fits the stereotype of the weak Jew." It observed that the last surviving officer of the company, the highly respected and decorated Edward Shames, was Jewish, but that "fitting less the stereotype, his Jewishness goes unnoticed."

In 1970, Sobel shot himself in the head with a small-caliber pistol in an attempted suicide. The bullet entered his left temple, passed behind his eyes, and exited the other side of his head. Both of his optic nerves were severed by the shot, leaving him blind. Soon afterward, he began living at a VA assisted-living facility in Waukegan, Illinois. He died there of malnutrition on 30 September 1987. No memorial services were held for him.

Sobel returned to the United States in 1945, and was honorably discharged from the Army on 18 March 1946. He worked as an accountant before being recalled to active duty during the Korean War. He remained in the Army National Guard, eventually retiring at the rank of lieutenant colonel. He later married and had three children.

Sobel was assigned as the regimental S-4 (logistics) officer on 8 March 1945.

Sobel enlisted in the United States Army on 7 March 1941 and volunteered for the paratroopers. He was commissioned as a second lieutenant. Promoted to first lieutenant, Sobel commanded Company E for all of their basic training at Camp Toccoa, Georgia. He trained his men intensively, and was eventually promoted to the rank of captain in recognition of his ability as a trainer. However, Sobel was despised by his soldiers for being petty and vindictive. In Band of Brothers, author Stephen Ambrose reports that the invective directed at Sobel by the soldiers under his command was often anti-Semitic.

Herbert Maxwell Sobel Sr. (26 January 1912 – 30 September 1987) was an American commissioned officer with Easy Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, in the 101st Airborne Division during World War II. Sobel was portrayed in the HBO miniseries Band of Brothers by David Schwimmer.
