Band of Brothers: Disc 1 (2001)
Handling
PART 1 - CURRAHEE In Toccoa, Georgia, 1942, a disparate group of young men begins voluntary training to become members of one of America's newest military regiments – the paratroopers. Under the harsh leadership of Lt. Sobel, members of the newly formed Easy Company go from being green civilians to becoming some of the Army's most elite soldiers. As training progresses, a rivalry flares between Sobel, whom the men despise, and Lt. Winters, a junior officer who's earned the respect and admiration of the company. PART 2 - DAY OF DAYS On June 6th 1944, D-Day planes carrying thousands of paratroopers cross the English Channel to France, where they come under heavy fire. None of the men land where they expected to, and many lose their weapons and supplies in the drop. Winters links up with solitary soldiers, and they set off to find their units. Winters is later chosen to lead an attack on a fortified German artillery position; the mission is successful, but Winters, now acting company commander, loses his first man.
