After the successful landings on the beaches of Normandy, the 101st Airborne Division is sent to take the small town of Carentan, and hold it against enemy counterattack. If they succeed, they beachheads at Utah and Omaha beaches can be joined together into one continuous beachhead, ready for the breakout into Northern France. Easy Company's new commander, Lt Winters, must lead his men under fire once more.

Band of Brothers: Drone and Maps version.
-
I can still hear all the quotes, Winters: "Get out of the trenches! Move up!" McGrath to Welsh: "You're going to get me killed lieutenant, I knew you were going to get me killed!" Nixon: "Well helllllloooooo 2nd Armored!"
-
I'm stunned that the Band of Brothers version of this battle was so historically accurate, right down to Winters kicking his men in the ass.
-
Everybody's always talking about Winters, but Welsh leading his troops into machinegunfire even before Winters took action AND going into the open field with McGrath to fire the bazooka is amazing. And to think he only received two bronze stars during the war.. that's some true bravery and leadership right there, should've been at least a Silver Star or DSC.
-
Good old Dick Winters… a true hero, even when kicking his own men.
-
There is only one channel that makes me stop everything, say “oh my God yes" and watch immediately, this is it.
-
Just to corraberate--Lt. Harry Welsh (1944) was Col. Harry Welsh, US Army Reserve (1962) when he taught American History in Wilkes-Barre, PA. I was one of his students. He was very modest and really tried to not talk about his WW2 experiences!
-
Winters was such a beast, the intelligence of a leader with the bravery of a front line grunt. He never told anyone to do something he wasnt willing to do himself.
-
I still can't believe how critical it was that the Enigma code was broken.
-
“Today we are sponsored by Raaaaaaid Shadow Legends”. After that, continues to be as ‘excited’ as possible
-
“Dog and Fox are pulling back”…”Who gave that order, god dammit”
-
It’s crazy to me that I learned half of these events relatively accurately thanks to Brothers in Arms: Road to hill 30
-
Eisenhower: We will now storm the Normandy beaches. But before we do it, I'd like to acknowledge today's sponsor Raid Shadow Legends.
-
guess what todays sponsor is raid shadow legends" Hands down the most unenthusiastic ad read ever. I LOVE IT
-
Very good depiction. That Bazooka duo had some stones. It shows how a brave individual action can make the tide turn in a desperate situation.
-
You HAVE TO finish the battle of Mogadishu im hooked
-
When a calm, collected and polite officer starts shouting and kicking his men, you know you better effing move up.
-
I absolutely love this style of production. With all this technology today, using almost real time movements to depict what happened back then is so much more immersive that just seeing giant red arrows over a battlefirld pointing in a direction. Love, love, love, love, love this concept...

this is one of my favorites !
