Band Of Brothers
This mini series follows Easy Company, 506th regiment of the 101st Airborne Division. Easy company is led by Dick Winters and the series follows Easy company through their perilous missions of World war II from training in the US through to parachuting into Normandy early on D-Day, liberating Holland and ending with the capture of Hitler’s Eagles Nest Berchtesgardten. Throughout the series the actual soldiers from the 506 PIR reminisce about there times in Europe during the war. The series shows the true horrors of war. Each episode has a particular theme from how soldiers deal with fear in war through to what makes a good leader.
Easy Company goes through training under the leadership of a captain who relentlessly pushes them to their limits but may be limited as a leader in the field.
Easy Company paratroopers jump behind enemy lines in Normandy on D-Day and struggle to reunite in hostile territory.
Easy Company takes on German troops in the French town of Carentan, and the battle takes its toll on one soldier who is badly traumatized by the experience.
With the addition of many new men, Easy Company heads to Holland to participate in Operation Market Garden and prepare an Allied route into Germany, but they meet stiff German resistance.
Winters writes a report on the challenge of an unexpected resistance to a German attack, and is haunted by his conscience after shooting a teenage German SS soldier.
In the dead of winter, the men of Easy Company fend off frostbite and hunger - in addition to the enemy - while holding the line in a forest outside of Bastogne. Meanwhile, exhausted medic Eugene Roe finds friendship with a Belgian nurse.
Easy Company remains in the Ardennes Forest preparing for an inevitable attack on German forces in the town of Foy. However, morale is low due to cold weather, constant shelling, poor leadership, and numerous casualties.
Easy Company is in Hagenau in February 1945, where they prepare for a night patrol mission to capture German prisoners. The patrol includes one veteran who is despised for missing Bastogne and a new lieutenant fresh out of West Point.
As the Allies move into Germany and the war comes closer to an end, disillusionment and anger set in for Easy Company - until they stumble onto a concentration camp abandoned by the German military.
As the Germans surrender, it appears that the hard days for Easy Company are over when they are stationed in Austria. However, they soon learn that those soldiers without enough service points will be sent to fight in Japan.
