1945 - The Wehrmacht is defeated and the men of Easy Company, 506th PIR (Band of Brothers) 101st Airborne Division move from Berchtesgaden, Germany to the shores of Zell Am See in Austria.
Colonel Robert F. Sink, Commanding Officer of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division would establish his headquarters in The Grand Hotel on the edge of Zell Am See in the stunning Austrian Alps.
Here the men of the 506th, the famous Band of Brothers, would enjoy their final days together prior to moving back to France and the Regiment's disbandment - the need for the Regiment to deploy to the Pacific Theatre ending abruptly in August 1945.
The hotel is still in use today with tourists to the area, all enjoying the same pursuits as the men of the 506th did back in 1945!
