THE SPOILS OF WAR

By the time they were called upon to jump
into Holland during Operation Market
Garden, the men of the US 101st Airborne
Division had become one of the
toughest and most formidable units of the entire US Army.
In Simon's commanding piece the men of Easy Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th PIR take a brief moment to reflect on their recent action during which they overpowered two entire companies of battle-hardened German Waffen-SS troops entrenched, with artillery support, along a Dutch dike, 5th October 1944.
