Band of Brothers: Part three

Carentan

After Lieutenant Meehan dead, Easy Company is now under Lieutenant Winters command. I think everyone who going to the war has a fear. Some of them never though that they pass through the D-day in safe. On June 8, 1944 the member of Easy Company almost complete. One by one who comes with their unique souvenir, but there is one man who don’t get his Lugar yet. After getting rest awhile, Easy Company starts to move on to find the loosing Fox Company.

Easy Company arrives in the town is called Carentan that guard by the Germans. When Easy Company try to enter the town, they got attack by the Germans. Easy Company succeeded to take over the town. In that town Lieutenant Winters gets his first bullet wound and he’s taking care by a medic. After the German attack, the medics are busy to look after the wounded soldier.

There is a story in Easy Company about Lieutenant Speirs who cross out the 20 Germans. In all the regiment, Lieutenant Speir has become a legend. After getting a rest, Easy Company move out the town and always in the front line of the battalion. On D-day plus 7 in the outskirts of Carentan Easy Company got an ambush by the German until night and in the morning German start the attack with large army and tanks. Easy Company tries hard to defense their line using mortar and bazooka until the Sherman arrives.

After the ambush Easy Company pulled out to the camp north from Utah beach and then back to England. Colonel Sink is appreciating that Easy Company holding the line and General Tailor was pleased.

For those who got wounded in the war receive medal of the Purple Heart.

In the end, Easy Company never back to England but they prepare to go to France.

By the time, Easy Company was pulled off the line on June 29, they had lost 65 men.
