I agree, i have read the book cover to cover at least 5 times, it has so much value.
Davids book is here
I can also suggest these:
Cpl. Forrest Guth: 'E' Company, 506th PIR, 101st Airborne Division
Biggest Brother : The Life of Major Dick Winters, The Man Who Led the Band of Brothers
Currahee!: A Screaming Eagle at Normandy
Brothers In Battle, Best of Friends (By William "Wild Bill" Guarnere and Edward "Babe" Heffron)
Beyond Band of Brothers: The War Memoirs of Major Dick Winters
and anything else by Steven E Ambrose is fantastic , especially citizen soliders and wild blue.
I think I read this as a Reader's Digest Condensed Book as a kid. I think I read it 5x

Different book, but I read this years ago. There may be more info in it about contingency plans that I just don't recall.

Don't know the origin, but I learned it when I picked this worn paperback book up (back in the 80s or early 90s). It's a first-person account of training and then parachuting into Normandy in WWII, and they sung the song then for sure.

Bodies actually do bounce surprisingly enough.

Good book by the way
The 101st was no secret.
They were badass as fuck and the Krauts knew it.
Your comment still kicks ass, though!
If you haven't read Donald R. Burgett's series of first-person accounts, YOU MUST!
Curahee! A Screaming Eagle at Normandy is the first one.
It's the With The Old Breed by E.B. Sledge of the ETO.
Probably. Source: http://www.amazon.com/Currahee-Screaming-Normandy-Donald-Burgett/dp/0440236304
