Hitler counted on his crack Panzer units and his secret weapons......

But America had secret weapons too. Like the 101st Airborne and Dick Winters.

Hitler never counted on that.

I’ll never forget him saying this on TV: “ by grandson asked me if I was a “hero” in the war. I told him, no son, I was not a hero but I served with lots of them.

Prayers for Major Winters and his family. My son begged for the “Band of Brothers” set. It is wonderful. To me, it showed simple men of all types doing what their country asked them to do. God Speed....
