Currahee
The story begins on July 1942 Easy Company, 506th Battalion, 101st Airborne Corps arrive in Camp Toccoa in Georgia, under the supervision of Company leader, Captain Herbert Sobel.
Day of Days
June 6th 1944: D-DAY Easy Company are dropped behind enemy lines in Normandy ahead of the Allied Assault on Utah Beach. However the paratroopers are scattered across the battleground. Winters finds himself landing in enemy territory losing his weapons and finding himself armed only with his bayonette knife. Soon Winters finds himself reunited with members of Easy Company who are scattered across the area. Winters and his small group of members of Easy Company as well as members of the 82nd Airborne arrive at a makeshift centre where Winters finds himself forced to command his team once it becomes apparent that Easy's C.O. has been killed in the drop. Winters is given the task of destroying a German Garrison which contains 4 artillery guns attacking the troops now landing at Utah Beach. Easy Company take on the Garrison in what is now an text book operation, and are able to take out the German defenses while suffering a loss of 2 officers. Finally the members of Easy Company, most of whom are still scattered across the area, relax and get a moment of rest before they move out.
Carentan
7th June-12th July 1944 Pvt. Albert Blithe is among those the 82nd and the 101st Airborne divisions who were dropped into Normandy on D-Day. Easy Company is then given the objective of taking the town of Carentan. Carentan must be controlled by the Allied Forces in order for armor, men, ammo and vehicles from Omaha and Utah beaches to link up and move inland, eventually to get to Germany. Easy Company manages to take the town but suffer casualties from the German machine gun, sniper and mortar fire. After successfully capturing the town, Easy Company must hold the line and protect Carentan from any german counter-offensive, which is expected because Carentan was as important to them as it was to us. Blithe finds himself on the front line having to confront his own fears about killing another man, and being killed himself.
Replacements
September 1944: New, younger officers arrive at Easy Company and the 506th Regiment to replace those soldiers killed in the Normandy and France operations. Fresh from jump school, the new green officers are thrown into the chaos of Operation Market Garden where the largest airborne drop took place in an effort to end the war by Christmas 1944. Intelligence tells them that the German forces consist only of the old and the Hitler youth. This of course turns out to be wrong and the Allies march into one of the costliest battles of the second World War. In September 1944, the Allied forces were dropped behind enemy lines in Holland and were told to take the towns of Eindhoven, Nijmegen and arnhem. Easy Company's task was to take the town of Eindhoven and then hold out until the 30th Tank Corps arrived.
Crossroads
October-December 1944: Captain Richard Winters is promoted and finds himself removed from commanding Easy Company who he begins to miss. Being stuck behind the desk makes Winters miss his days leading Easy Company into battle. As the clean-up operations after the failure of Operation MARKET GARDEN begin, Easy Company is given the task of knocking out an German stronghold at a crossroads and also an rescue mission to recover an stranded british airborne group. Easy Company then return to Moumelon for some R&R, Winters gets 48 hours leave in Paris and Easy Company enjoy an movie which is interuppted by Easy Companys new CO Lieutenant Dike who informs that an German offensive has begun in the Ardennes and Easy Company is to move out. Upon arrival at Bastogne Easy Company finds themselves face to face with retreating Allied troops telling stories of an German offensive like no other and has cut the allied forces in two. With no ammunition and no resources Easy Company are told to hold the line no matter what. To make matters worse an US officer tells them that the Germans have flanked them and they are now isolated.
Bastogne
Bastogne is the Battle of the Bulge, Hitler’s last offensive of the war, which Hitler designed and planned to have a perfect outcome for him. He planned to surround our troops in the Ardennes forest, to cut them off from supplies, and trap them in the cold and snow during the coldest part of the year. The men went into Bastogne knowing they were short of supplies, food, and ammo. They lacked winters clothing, and the medic, Eugene Roe, didn’t even have enough medical supplies, and has a hard time getting them. But the men know that they are paratroopers- they were trained to be surrounded, and that is how they fight best.
The Breaking Point
January 1945- Easy Company is entrenched along the outskirts of the german held town of Foy. Before Easy Company and others make their assault on the town, the company must survive the constant shelling. Joe Toye returns to the company but is wounded when the German Shelling begins, during a break, Guarenere helps him to a foxhole but more shelling injures them both. Buck Compton witnessing the carnage snaps and falls apart. During another attack, Luz witnesses Muck's and Penkala's death as their foxhole takes an direct hit. When the time comes for Easy to make their push, Dike, Easy Company's CO, freezes in battle and the company is slaughtered. Winters orders Lt. Speirs to go in and relieve Dike of command, Speirs proceeds to take command and then runs through the German lines to contact the other division and then runs back through them, a true Easy Company CO has finally arrived.
The Last Patrol
After surviving the horrors of Bastogne, an battered Easy Company is holed up in Haguenue. Where new Lt. Hank Jones arrives and immediately volunteers for an patrol mission to capture German prisoners. Meanwhile Webster returns to Easy Company after being wounded in 'Crossroads' and finds himself an outsider because of what Easy Company suffered in Bastogne. Jones and Webster join the patrol mission but are in serious danger along with the others once they are told not to carry any helmets or anything that might slow them down.
Why We Fight
As Easy Company enter Germany itself they find themselves confronted with the horrors of the holocaust as members of Easy Company stumble across an Nazi Concentration camp.
Points
THE FINAL EPISODE/ Easy Company enters Berchtesgarden, site of Hitlers Eagle Nest and the believed hold out of the Nazi administration. As the second world war comes to an end, the members of easy company find themselves faced with the prospect of going home or being shipped off to japan and the only difference is only a few points on their service record.
