Screaming Eagles



Particularly, I love to follow the events with respect to the Air Borne division.

Richard "Dick" Winters
The true leader of Easy

I remember from one of the conversations between one of the First Lt and CO Winters

Lt: “I believe the drop zone is too bloody and you will be surrounded by enemies”

CO Winter: “we are the airborne division; we are supposed to be surrounded”

CO Dick Winters was the first a paratrooper, then the platoon lead then became the First Srgt, and later First Lt and then became the CO of the entire battalion by the end of battle at Haguenau.

Winters joined the E Company (Easy Company) 101st Airborne, 506 PIR (parachute infantry regiment)

Soldiers,Sailors and Airmen....


Fire in the Hole!

It all began after the invasion of Poland by the Germans.

Interested in the Second World War History,started ever since I saw the movie The Guns of Navarone when I was in 4th grade/std.

I was so involved in learning about the second word war that sometime I think that I was there.
I have got to upload some pics, videos and news about second world war from now, and hope someone will find it interesting.
