Dylan Broyles Blog about Band of Brothers

Band of Brothers is about the 101st Airborne Division in World War Two. It specifically follows Easy Company of the 506th PIR (Parachute Infantry Regiment) from their first training jump to their jump into Normandy on D-Day to their capture of Hitler's Eagle's Nest in Berchtesgaden. The men of E Company endured some of the toughest battles that the European Theater of the war had to offer. As old members died and green replacements came in, the original group of so-called "Toccoa Men" were promoted and grew closer by the day. Band of Brothers was an exceptional book and I recommend it to anybody who has the time to read it.
