Band of Brothers : Part two

Day of Days


Now Easy Company and the others ready to jump in the drop zone. In the airplane, everyone seems quiet and nervous. When the airplanes reach the drop zone point, everyone prepare to jump. Ready or not, the soldiers must jump. After the jump, the soldiers separated in everywhere in Normandy and many of them don’t have a fully equipment because it’s blown by wind.

In the first time Lieutenant Winters meets a soldier from Able Company. Both of them try to finding the extraction point to join the other Company. On the way to the extraction point Lieutenant Winters finally meet the member of Easy Company. There is an incident when Lieutenant Winter’s group met with the Germans. Then contact happen between them and all the German is dead because they don’t know the enemy is waiting.

After the incident, Lieutenant Winter’s group arrives in the airplane crash area and the airplane is one of their teammate. There is one soldier who very busy to find a Lugar that he promised to his brother. After the airplane crash area they move on until they met a few German that captured by another Company. Finally, Lieutenant Winters arrive to the extraction point and met the other member of Easy Company and after getting rest for awhile Easy Company get order from Major Strayer to take over and destroy the four German guns that firing at Utah beach. The mission is complete and for the last gun Easy Company got help from Dog Company who lead by Lieutenant Speirs. In that mission Lieutenant Winters lost one soldier. Actually, the soldier is not from Easy Company but he volunteer himself for the mission. After destroying the German guns, a few soldier from Easy Company get a medal of honor.

Easy company’s capture of the German battery become a textbook case of an assault on a fixed position, and is still demonstrated at the united state military academy at west point, today.

To be continue…….
