Band of Brothers

The brutal tactics of a drill instructor cause friction with the paratroopers of the 101st Airborne Division as they prepare for combat in World War II.

On D-Day, the men of Easy Company drop into Normandy. On the ground, Lt. Winters rallies all the troops he can find for an assault on enemy artillery.

Easy Company must seize the occupied village of Carentan, a fierce battle that exacts a heavy toll in troops wounded or killed in action.

Joined by green recruits, Easy Company parachutes into Holland for Operation Market Garden — where one paratrooper gets separated from his unit.

A successful operation gets Winters promoted to a desk job, but Easy Company soon embarks on an urgent defense mission into the Ardennes Forest.

Ill-equipped and poorly supplied for winter combat, a medic valiantly struggles to treat the wounded of Easy Company during the Battle of the Bulge.

Weakened and exhausted after Bastogne, Easy Company fights to retake the town of Foy from the Germans — despite their new commander's ineptitude.

A recent West Point graduate eagerly leads a patrol across a river near the German border, but Winters is much more skeptical about their objective.

As the war winds down, Easy Company meets light resistance in Germany — but their reprieve from horror ends when they find a concentration camp.

Easy Company occupies Hitler's mountain citadel of Eagle's Nest, where the paratroopers nervously await their orders for redeployment to Japan.
