This is definitely an interesting read, especially for those wanting to have a little more insight on Easy Company after watching Band of Brothers or reading Stephen Ambrose‘s book. I found parts of it hard to read. Dick Winters is unquestionably a hero and should not be viewed as anything but, but the transparently false modesty was off-putting. 3 out of 5 stars.

Later we discovered Hitler had constructed six large “work camps” in the vicinity. By now the men and I were seasoned combat veterans, but the sights we witnessed when we arrived at the camp defied description. The horror of what we observed remains with each paratrooper to this day. You could not explain it; you could not describe it; and you could not exaggerate it.
