My wife is an Evans and William Evans was her grandfather's brother (GrandUncle). When we traveled to Normandy to tour the battlefields, the tour leader took us to the village where his C47 crashed. There is a monument in the crossroads in the shape of a C47 tail with the crew and paratroop stick members' names recorded...including Evans. It's nice that they are not forgotten and still honored today by the French people of Normandy.

[@StrangeDaysGaming]

First Sergeant Evans did not have to serve, he worked at a shipbuilding company which would've deferred him from service. He did enlist though and volunteered for the parachute infantry. He was disliked by some Sergeants in Easy companies and was good buddies with others. On D-Day plane 66 was hit by German AA fire, crashed, and exploded. All onboard were killed including Evans and Easy company's commander Lt. Meehan His dog-tags were found 44 years later in Normandy by a farmer.

[@joemckim1183]

[@EPICFAILKING1]

I'm seeing all these comments about how Cpt Sobel is an ass, and how no-one likes him. But Winters, and all the other members of Easy Company agree that Cpt Sobel was the main reason they survived the war. Because Sobel did not accept any failure, and he pushed them to their limits.

[@alessiman]

Easy Company credited Sobel for their tough conditioning which helped them immensely. What they couldn't ignore was his total lack of combat awareness. Winters has stated that if Sobel was ordered to take the 33 guns at Brecourt Manor Sobel would have gone with a frontal assault resulting in certain death for all those on that mission

[@martynspeck]

Sobel, if the depiction is accurate, was also a dick which is not the same thing as being a leader.

In the end, he did, he nailed it and the same outlets that were calling him on it were the same ones that celebrated his performance.

I was a bit curious to why on the D-Day landings had ALL of the CO's and Company HQ Staff in one singular plane. If it got hit, like it actually did, a lot of important figures would get killed, which happened. I would spread out the staff, CO's and other officers and soldiers-of-importance amoung other troop transports, even if some got hit, the chance for ALL to get killed would be far less. Just an odd choice that resulted in this.

[@sergeontheloose]

I guess, they foresaw that some planes would miss the drop-zones and therefore getting together any group of commanding officers to plan any kind of operations would be even more difficult. I guess all men of the 101st dropping in Normandy played "the russian roulette", as even deputy commander of the 101st was killed with his jeep in a glider.

Hiding behind a tree is cover. Cover is when bullets stop and can't hit you. Concealment is when they can't see you but you are still vulnerable to being shot. You can have cover and concealment, however, you can have concealment but not cover. Cover = bullets stop. concealment = bullets don't stop. Trees stop bullets pretty good last time I checked.

Don't forget, they had guys that were Majors at 24, and Jim Gavin was a General at *37 years old*. 21 year old 1LTs were not uncommon. Hollywood films used much older men in films and it gave later generations the idea that soldiers in WWII were older men.

As for a real example they had deal with during the battle of the bulge E company and the rest of them were scheduled for rnr, but due to the sudden advance they were thrown back into the line at a moments notice.
