Band of Brothers: Part ten

Points

July, 1945 Zell Am See, Austria. Captain Nixon arrives in the lake when Major Winters try for morning swim. Captain Nixon brought a package about 506^th photograph from all way back to Toccoa.

Easy Company had entered Bavaria in early may with hope to town is called Berchtesgaden. This famous town high in Alps which is the Nazi Party Symbolic home. Although Hitler was dead, he apparently orders the Nazi Special Forces to make their last stand and the first step was blocking the road. After the road block is clear Easy Company was ordered by Major Winters to take the Eagle Nest. The Eagle Nest was a surprise birth present for Hitler build with Nazi party money. A mountain top stone retreat 8.000 feet up access full by gold plate elevator. It is one of the crown jewels of his empire.

About point. Each soldier in regiment has to collect 85 point to discharge. Is not very clear where the point coming from. But General Taylor knows that is many veterans including Normandy veteran still do not have the 85 point to require to be discharge and the anniversary of D-day he authorize the lottery that is one man of each Company be in effect immediately. For Easy Company the winner is Sergeant Darrell C. Powers or is called Shifty. A few moths later, after President Truman receives the Japanese surrender, the war is truly end.

Regardless points, medal or wounds each men on 101^st airborne will be going home. Each of them wills forever connected by their share experience and each would join the world that best he could.

There is not a days goes by and they do not think the men their serve with who never got to enjoy the world without war. Henry V says “from this day to the ending of this world we and it shall be remembered, we lucky few, we band of brothers. For he who today shared his blood with me, shall be my brother.”

“Easy Company is a Hero Company” that’s what I think.

The End
