The 2001 HBO 10 part miniseries Band of Brothers is an accurate depiction of what happened to Easy Company of the US Army’s Airborne Division. Losses were heavy as these troops were dropped into Normandy, behind enemy lines, by parachute into miserable weather on D-Day, June 6, 1944.
This series is one of the best based on WWII.
I never tire of Band of Brothers and watch it every year. It was shot in color which resulted in vivid movie making. Netflix has it.
The creators are Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg. Damian Lewis, the marvelous British actor, stars as Major Richard Winters.
We have some more photos to show.
