Dick Winters: Hang Tough
This came out in 2012. If you haven’t watched it, and you’re a fan of Band of Brothers, it is worth your time.
We watched it on Prime, but here’s the Vimeo link.

Thanks for that, I’ll check it out later. If you read Band of Brothers and enjoyed it, Winters also wrote his own book later on. I highly recommend it also.

Just watched it.
I'm a BOB, Pacific and Saving Private Ryan fan and have seen a lot of the shorter YouTube videos, some several times.
The only thing new & interesting was the story about the owner and residents of Brecourt Manor. In all the other other stories it's not discussed. The place was actually a family home and they lived there, but weren't allowed to go near the German gun emplacements. One of their sons was near two Germans that were surrendering and all three were shot by an American soldier. The son was evacuated and the only one that lived. He didn't seem to hold a grudge towards whoever shot him.
An OK show if you haven't seen all the other shows on the subject but I found myself fast forwarding through a lot.
