Description
In 1942, a new experimental parachute regiment was formed to jump behind enemy lines. Within this unit was a company of men who found themselves at the forefront of the war in Europe: jumped in Normandy for D-Day, fought through Holland, held the line in Bastogne and captured Hitler's Eagle's Nest. These were the men of Easy Company, 101st Airborne, 506th PIR. And this is their story.
