If you've read the book and watched the series Band of Brothers, then you already know who Dick Winters is. In this episode, we're continuing our tour through the amazing private collection at the Gettysburg Museum of History (www.gettysburgmuseumofhistory.com) to see the personal items that belonged to Major Dick Winters. This is a one of a kind collection. There is no other. In addition, we see other items that belong to other Easy Company men such as Babe Heffron, Forrest Guth and Ron Speirs. Stunning items from beginning to end!
Note: In the video, Erik inadvertently said "5th Fallschirmjager Regiment" when he meant to say 6th.

It was hard to get the pen and get my grandpa's name on that tab, to put on that board because I was getting the lump in my throat and the watery eyes. I did not want anyone to notice. I completed the task for him though.

Fantastic collection! My father in law was a B-24 pilot out of Italy from 43-45. He saved everything from the war! We didn't know it until after he passed three years ago and we were cleaning a shed out. His Army Air Corps locker and other boxes were stored out there. Everything was destroyed. We did salvage his 50 mission cap (he tucked a note in the brim stating this hat was worn on every mission), a note written in all caps to his parents stating: "I HAVE COMPLETED MY 50 MISSIONS! LETTER TO FOLLOW". That was just devastating. Luckily he kept his medals (Distinguished Flying Cross, Unit Citation, etc...)and officer ID in his desk.

Just watched the video. You're lucky to have those items in your museum. I've watched Band of Brothers several times. It never gets old. Seems like I always see something I missed. That, or after listening to an interview of one of men and an experience, I look for that in the series. It's sad that those heroes have now passed away. Truly a group of brave men, as well as a generation to admire.

I love your shows. I now have a disability with non repairable back issues where I can't stan more then 3 to 5 minutes without my legs going numb. You give the chance to see these museums from the comfort of my home. I remember this gentleman from American pickers. I love museums especially U.S. history. Thank you so much. I watch them over and over and over again. God bless you and yours and God bless America 🇺🇸

We just went to this museum yesterday. After watching JD's great work we had to go. It is amazing and so is Eric. We bought the book Hang Tough and then watched this later last night. :) It was wonderful to meet Eric. So much info.to share. Dan and I were thrilled to visit. It is the best museum in Gettysburg IF you want to learn history. Some of it we need to see and remember NOT to repeat it. So happy to learn of our men who are heros. Thank you JD and Eric for teaching us our history. God Bless this wonderful country.

Well the guy deserves a medal anyway. A public service award or something. I hope he's got a contribution box for voluntary donations.

As a WW2 collector, I would rather have Dick Winter's .45 , than any of Hitler's firearms. In fact, any .45 used by an American in that war is more important to me than any other firearms used by our enemies. Regardless of present day monetary value, American paraphernalia is by far the most valuable to me.

@TheHistoryUnderground 3 года назад

I'm right there with you. Imagine the stories those artifacts could tell.

@williamgunnarsson 3 года назад

Of the 13 1/2 million in uniform, 3 - 4 million were sent to combat zones in WW2. We'll never hear all the stories from that war. We need to preserve as many as possible.
