Maj Winters Passes away Jan 2
Quote:
Major Dick Winters passed away Jan. 2 in central Pennsylvania following a battle with Parkinson's Disease. If you've read Stephen Ambrose's book or watched the HBO miniseries, you'll likely already have mental pictures of Winters' acts of heroism during harsh fighting in Europe during the Second World War.
RIP, Maj. Winters. You will always be a symbol of courage and wisdom to me.
RIP Major Winters. Thank you for your service. :bow:
News gotten thousands of reactions on Dutch news-sites he's regarded as the best of men and we are really grateful. Glad he squeezed out a fine age.
edit, pointless but fun, the weasel took dualing pistols that have belonged to Napoleon from the Eagle's Nest, I know that because my father was interested in buying them. I supposedly met him but got no recollection of that
RIP.
His dishonest account of the Brecourt Manor assault is unforgivable in my opinion and calls into question a lot of the other exploits he claimed.
He was undoubtedly a strong leader and a brave soldier, though.
RIP Major Richard Dick Winters.
you will, and will be always a symbol of bravery to all of us. :bow:
btw
cool Miniseries :smg:
A good man, sorry he has passed
He did seem like a good man, going by the movies, but I also wondered how much of it was exaggerated or changed a bit to look more heroic.
Still like the movie for what it is though, sorry he's gone, but sooner or later it gets everyone apparently.
you should read his or ambrose's book. Both good for a general ww2 history read.Quote:
