Band of Brothers : Part one

Currahee

Hi ho silver……………

Band of brother part one tells us a story about training and preparation of the England army to faced the Germans. There many companies of the England army and one of the Companies are called Easy Company who lead by Lieutenant Sobel. Lieutenant Sobel has a job to prepare Easy Company ready for the war. His training schedule for Easy Company is too hard which march in every Friday night, twelve mils and full pack and in the daylight Easy Company must run to hill three mils up, three mils down even Easy Company in the middle of their lunch. In the regiment Lieutenant Sobel wants to be the best and because of that his training schedule is too hard for Easy Company. He tries to find a mistake that made by soldier even a little. He really likes to punish a soldier who made a mistake. That’s why the Easy Company doesn’t like him. Under Lieutenant Sobel command, Easy Company has the finest performance record in the entire second Battalion and the end Lieutenant Sobel got his promoted to be a Captain.

There one incident that surprise me a lot. In the Makall, N.C. Camp when Easy Company in the middle of strategy training, why a Captain likes Captain Sobel can not read a map? The result of that, 95% of his army is dead. That’s one reason why Easy Company hated him and the effect of that incident there a little conflict in Easy Company. A few soldiers make a statement that they don’t want to follow Captain Sobel to the war. Finally, Captain Sobel got transfer to jump training school as a commander. One thing for sure, he’s losing Easy Company. Then Easy Company gets Lieutenant Meehan as their new leader.

Upottery, England June 4, 1944 Easy Company and others Company prepare to go to the war but it’s canceled because there’s a storm in the drop zone. In the next day they set out to the war.

“Soldiers, sailors and airmen of the allied Expeditionary Force:

You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you.”

“Good luck!

And let us all beseech the blessing of almighty God upon this great and noble undertaking” (Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower as Supreme Allied Commander)

THE BATTLE IS BEGIN!!!
