Band of Brothers

This section of WorldWar2History.info is devoted to Easy Company, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Divison -- the "Band of Brothers" made famous by the late Stephen Ambrose (and the wonderful HBO mini-series now on DVD).

Our first feature here is a section from Stephen Ambrose's book. We've converted the original text of Chapter 9 in "Band of Brothers" for the Web and separated it into nine sub-sections so that it's easy to read online. Click here to start reading or jump to any one of the sub-sections below.
