Description
This powerful piece captures a poignant moment as the men of Easy Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th PIR take a brief moment to reflect on their recent action. Their assault has successfully overpowered two entire companies of battle-hardened German Waffen-SS troops which were entrenched along a Dutch dike, 5th October 1944.
By the time they were called upon to jump into Holland during Operation Market Garden, the men of the US 101st Airborne Division had become one of the toughest and most formidable units of the entire US Army.
