Immortalized as the Band of Brothers, they suffered 150% casualties while liberating European unparalleled record of bravery under fire. Winner of the Distinguished Service Cross, Dick Winters was their legendary commander. This is his storytold in his own words for the first time. On D-Day, Winters assumed leadership of the Band of Brothers when its commander was killed and led them through the Battle of the Bulge and into Germanyby which time each member had been wounded.
