Band of Brothers

from Odin & Aesop · host Bill Redman, Kevin Yeo & Tony Faust

Company E, 506th Regiment was part of the U.S. Army’s 101st Airborne Division. It was formed in 1942 and comprised of young volunteers that were generally new to the army. Company E received its baptism by fire in June 1944 when it jumped into NAZI occupied France. It went on to jump into Holland as part of Operation Market-Garden; helped blunt the German advance by holding the town of Bastogne during the Battle of the Bulge; and then drove across Germany to secure Hitler’s final defeat. During its advance across Europe, Company E sustained 150% casualties. Stephen Ambrose tells Easy Company’s story through the words of the men who served in it.
