2. The 506th in Normandy

Like almost all paratroop units, the 506th was widely scattered during the Operation Chicago night drop on the morning of D-Day. The most famous action for the 506th on D-Day was the Brécourt Manor Assault.

Although promised they would be in battle for just 3 days, the 506th did not return to England for 33 days, participating in the battle for Carentan.

Of about 2000 men who jumped into France, 231 were killed in action, 183 were missing or POWs, and 569 were wounded — about 50% casualties for the Normandy campaign.

3. I can't wait for "The Pacific".

If it's half as great as "Band of Brothers", it'll be pretty damned good.
