YouTube Description
as posted by the channel✅ SUBSCRIBE"
If you've seen Steven Spielberg's acclaimed mini-series Band of Brothers, then this stop on James Holland and Al Murray's walking tour of D-Day battlegrounds will be familiar. Brécourt Manor near Utah Beach is where the men of Easy Company, 2nd Battalion of the 506th PIR, under the extraordinary leadership of Major Richard Winters, carried out their daunting D-day mission to take out a German gun battery in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds. With an on-the-ground perspective, James and Al reveal the strategies involved -- the challenges and advantages of the Normandy terrain -- and why this action is now widely regarded as a military textbook example of a frontal assault on a fixed position by a small unit.
