On D-Day, Dick Winters took off with 506th Parachute Infantry
Regiment and prepared to parachute into German-held north France.
Ground troops landing on Utah beach were relying on Easy Company to
secure one of the causeways that were vital if the troops were to
get off the beaches and reach the solid ground of Normandy. The
plane carrying many of the commanding officers was shot down,
leaving Dick Winters suddenly in command of his company. But during
the drop he, and many of his men, had been separated from his
equipment and was unarmed except for a trench knife. In this
remarkable World War 2 memoir, Dick Winters tells the tales left
untold by Stephen Ambrose in his 1992 epic Band of Brothers.
Starting with an account of the gruelling training designed to make
the 506th the most elite unit in the US Army, Beyond Band of
Brothers is fascinating account of one man's experience of
commanding Easy Company from D-Day, to the Battle of the Bulge and
into Germany. Dick Winters gives real insight into leadership under
the most difficult conditions - every man in the company had been
injured by the time they reached Germany - and tells the real story
of the Allies' final defeat of Hitler, from the point of view of
someone who was really there.
