Band of Brothers Episode 10 - Crossroads

After securing Veghel and Uden, Easy Company and the remainder of the 101st Airborne Division received orders to move to the “Island,” a long narrow area north of Nijmegen between the Lower Rhine and the Waal Rivers.

The ground between the dikes of the two rivers was flat farm land, spotted with small villages and towns.
The dikes along the rivers were twenty feet high and the fields were criss-crossed with drainage ditches that were covered with heavy vegetation.

On October 5th, after a reconnaissance held by Winters himself, the 1st Platoon (with 2nd Platoon supporting) is tasked to advance towards an area where enemy presence and machine gun positions have been spotted.

The orders are to clear the area in order to prevent any attack on the Regiment HQ.
