The Real Story Behind Band of Brothers’ Crossroad Battle! (WW2 Documentary)

Video Description

Across this very field as dawn was breaking in October 1944, 35 men, with bayonets fixed, raced headlong towards more than 250 heavily armed SS. In the minutes that followed, and in an episode immortalised in the series ‘Band of Brothers’, Captain Dick Winters and the men of Easy Company reigned chaos across this now peaceful landscape. But how exactly did that episode come about? What really happened on that day? and do the events around this crossroads match those presented on screen? In this video using the latest technology, wartime aerial imagery and the actual accounts of those who were there, we’ll explore the Charge at Heteren Crossroads.
