Winters’s leadership inspired his soldiers to fight courageously under the most difficult and challenging conditions of battle. You know watching the series that he was special man for a special time and it only becomes more apparent the more I've dug into his life, including this book.While at Fort Dix, Winters became disillusioned with his job, finding that he had little enthusiasm for training officers who lacked discipline and did not attend their scheduled classes. Band of Brothers is a nonfiction history of one World War II company of paratroopers, Easy Company of the 506th Regiment, 101st Airborne.

A cast of the sculpture was placed in Ephrata, Pennsylvania, in a plaza on the Ephrata-to-Warwick linear trail park near Railroad Avenue and East Fulton Street, where Winters lived with his family from ages two to eight.

Sink was not impressed by the threat, and several of the NCOs were subsequently demoted or transferred out of the company.
