About Me
The men of Easy Company had jumped into Normandy on D-Day, where they lost over 60 men, and then captured the town of Carentan and many others. After being in France for 33 days, they returned to Aldbourne, England where their replacements came in.
After three months, they went into Holland as part of Operation Market Garden. It was a successful jump with no casualties, but after coming out of Eindhoven they came into the town of Nuenen which was full of Germans and their armor. They ended up retreating with many casualties. Then they came to Bastogne in Belgium where they went into the woods with little ammo, food and warm clothes. The times were tough there as they were pounded by German artillery, and there were many casualties. Later General Patton's men broke through behind them and they got food, ammo and warm clothes through to the men, although none of the men thought they needed to be rescued.
Easy Company then moved into the woods near the town of Foy, upon which they eventually made an assault. Next, Easy Company moved back into France and then pushed the Germans into Germany where they came across a concentration camp. Later, they reached Hitler's Eagle's Nest which had been previously captured with little resistance. They found the house of a famous poet and lots of alcohol. Finally, they moved into Austria where the war in Europe and against Japan ended.
After enduring basic training at Camp Toccoa, Georgia, Easy Company heads to Aldbourne, England to prepare for the invasion of Europe. In the weeks before D-Day, Easy Company heads to Uppottery, England to prepare for the drop into Europe.
In Toccoa, Ga., 1942, a disparate group of young men begins voluntary training to become members of one of America's newest military regiments - the paratroopers. Under the harsh leadership of Lt. Sobel (David Schwimmer), members of the newly formed Easy Company go from green civilians to some of the Army's most elite soldiers. As training progresses, a rivalry flares between Sobel, whom the men despise, and Lt. Winters (Damian Lewis), a junior officer who's earned the respect and admiration of Easy Company.
