| Zusammenfassung: | They fought on Utah Beach, in Arnhem, Bastogne, the Bulge; they spearheaded the Rhine offensive and took possession of Hitler's Eagle's Nest in Berchtesgaden. Easy Company, 506th Airborne Division, U.S. Army, was as good a rifle company as any in the world. From their rigorous training in Georgia in 1942 to D-Day and victory, Ambrose tells the story of this remarkable company, which kept getting the tough assignments. Easy Company was responsible for everything from parachuting into France early D-Day morning to the capture of Hitler's Eagle's Nest at Berchtesgaden. BAND OF BROTHERS is the account of the men of this remarkable unit who fought, went hungry, froze, and died, a company that took 150 percent casualties and considered the Purple Heart a badge of office. Drawing on hours of interviews with survivors as well as the soldiers' journals and letters, Stephen Ambrose tells the stories, often in the men's own words, of these American heroes |

Easy Company, 506th Airborne Division, U.S. Army, was as good a rifle company as any in the world. From their rigorous training in Georgia in 1942 to D-Day and victory, Ambrose tells the story of this remarkable company, which kept getting the tough assignments. Easy Company was responsible for everything from parachuting into France early D-Day morning to the capture of Hitler's Eagle's Nest at Berchtesgaden. BAND OF BROTHERS is the account of the men of this remarkable unit who fought, went hungry, froze, and died, a company that took 150 percent casualties and considered the Purple Heart a badge of office. Drawing on hours of interviews with survivors as well as the soldiers' journals and letters, Stephen Ambrose tells the stories, often in the men's own words, of these American heroes United States / Army / Parachute Infantry Regiment, 506th / Company E / History United States / Army / Parachute Infantry Regiment, 506th / Company E. fast World War (1939-1945) fast USA Airborne Division 101 (DE-588)2125323-7 gnd rswk-swf USA 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment (DE-588)4730475-3 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 1942 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 1944-1945 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 1942-1945 gnd rswk-swf World War, 1939-1945 / Airborne troops World War, 1939-1945 / Regimental histories / United States World War, 1939-1945 / Campaigns / Western Front Airborne troops fast Military campaigns fast Regimental histories fast Geschichte Weltkrieg (1939-1945) Zweiter Weltkrieg (DE-588)4079167-1 gnd rswk-swf Fallschirmjäger (DE-588)4016373-8 gnd rswk-swf United States fast Western Front (World War (1939-1945)) fast USA USA (DE-588)4078704-7 gnd rswk-swf 1\p (DE-588)4133254-4 Erlebnisbericht gnd-content USA 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment (DE-588)4730475-3 b Zweiter Weltkrieg (DE-588)4079167-1 s Geschichte 1944-1945 z DE-604 USA (DE-588)4078704-7 g Fallschirmjäger (DE-588)4016373-8 s 2\p DE-604 USA Airborne Division 101 (DE-588)2125323-7 b Geschichte 1942-1945 z 3\p DE-604 Geschichte 1942 z 4\p DE-604 Digitalisierung UB Bamberg - ADAM Catalogue Enrichment application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=029355095&sequence=000001&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Inhaltsverzeichnis 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 3\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 4\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
