Dick Winters Crossroads 65 years later
Loading...
Uploaded by pdonkersloot on Apr 15, 2010
Dick Winters considers Easy Company's actions at the Crossroads (a pivotal episode in Band of Brothers) were the highlight of the unit's combat career, a case where superior training, discipline, courage and tactics led to the defeat of two disorganized companies of German troops, ten times larger. The Crossroads (in the center of The Netherlands) in 2010 is much like it was back in October 1944: empty and green, with ditches criss-crossing the field.

I'm confused; did the battle take place in the left field or the right one? You said the right one but the monument is on the left on... please help me understand.

Well done, thank you.

@TheGoldenEagle19 I'm not dutch but I know few of them . I think that they speak well just because they start to learn as kids. When I was in Holand I watched TV & the first thing I noticed was that they don't translate movies and there is no dubbing too . Original movie with subtitles in native language . Sorry if my english is incorrect. I'm still learnig it .

I paid a visit to the Crossroads on Friday while doing a tour of the Netherlands from the UK. This video is fantastic. Thank you! and I am please to say the memorial has been replaced!

@TheGoldenEagle19 Simply because they have a real education system (as does most of Europe) and not that bad joke we got back in the states. Most Europeans I know speak 2 or 3 languages fluently.
