After Operation Market Garden the 101st was spread into different towns to secure. Easy Company's was to take the town of Eindhoven, and to defend until the 30th Armor Division showed up. From there it goes to their C.O. Major Winters promotion, he takes 12 men on a night job to knock out a German operations base. The 12 men successfully take out 2 companies of Germans, none of which died, but few injured. After that, Winters gets reassigned, and they get a new asshole C.O. named Liutenent Dike, who leads Easy Company to Bastogne which is where The Battle of the Bulge took place. It was Hitler's last offensive operation to flank our soldiers and take over, which was unsuccessful. The casualties of The Battle of the Bulge was extreme. From their snowy, icy, month-long battle, they went to stay at a German held town called Foy. From there the C.O. of Dog Company, was reassigned as the C.O. of E.CO. His name was Lt. Spiers. From there a replacement C.O. Lt. Hank Jones(gradutated on officer school on D-Day) from there there is supposed to be a night patrol at Haguenue, and Jones immediately takes the officer to lead the patrol because of his inexperience in War, and not having seen any action yet. He leads it successfully. After Haguenue. Finally E.Co. gets a break and gets to Germany and have hot food, warm beds, and a place to atleast take a shit comfortably. Which is a nice break for them. Later on small patrol of about 7 men they discover a Concentration Camp, and immediately report to Major Winters, from there Winters orders troopers, and trucks to supply the starved Jews with food. Finally, they are told NOT to feed them. The Jews are severe disappointment. After that, the end of the War, and the last operation of E.Co. they enter Berchtesgarden which is where Hitlers eagle nest is, they secure it. They do so, and finally at the end of the War, either E.Co. members finally got to go home, or are shipped off to Japan because they don't have enough points.
