Reddit reviews Beyond Band of Brothers: The War Memoirs of Major Dick Winters

In his memoir, Maj. Dick Winters talked about men being blown into the air by German 88s during the assault on Noville. He thought back to this whenever he saw people being sent flying by explosions in action movies.

Webster’s is parachute infantry and winters is beyond band of brothers

Both are honestly good reads. Also I would HIGHLY recommend any book on Pyle. I’ve read Brave Men which is a collection up to his death in the pacific and it’s fantastic. He was the Hemingway of WWII writers.

I agree, i have read the book cover to cover at least 5 times, it has so much value.

Davids book is here

You should read some of their books. They are really good. Especially Richard Winters' Beyond Band of Brothers.

I think he already did when he covered Winters' book? It has been a while so I don't remember the specifics of the review. Winters goes more into the "ill-at-ease" and "doing dumb things" aspects of Sobel in the book.

BTW, thank you for sharing the documentary. I have not seen it and look forward it watching it!

I've read the one by Winters, Malarkey, and Compton.
