In war, great commanders lead soldiers into hell to do the impossible.

They were called Easy Companybut their mission was never easy. Immortalized as the Band of
Brothers, they suffered huge casualties while liberating Europe in an unparalleled record of bravery under
fire. Dick Winters led them through the Battle of the Bulge, the attack on Foywhere Easy Company
reached its breaking pointand finally into Germany, by which time each member had been wounded.
Outside Munich, they liberated an S.S. death camp and captured Berchtesgaden, Hitler's alpine retreat.

comrades' untold stories. Only Winters was present from the activation of Easy Company until the war's end.
