Plots(1)
Having thwarted the Germans at Bastogne, the exhausted Easy Company must now take the nearby town of Foy from the enemy. Several are killed and wounded in fierce shelling, compounded by the incompetence of their new commander, Lieutenant Dike, about whom Winters can do nothing. Easy takes Foy, but at an enormous cost.

Yet another episode I can't find a single fault with, even if I tried. I've always been deeply interested in the Second World War, though I can't pinpoint exactly why. Despite my fascination, I've never romanticized war, and this episode perfectly captures its ugly reality, which often gets glossed over in tales of heroism. A little side note for the creators: it might be worth brushing up on the definitions of "permanent" and "massacre." And maybe consider bringing in a professional advisor — they could clarify that an artillery gun isn't loaded with bullets. ()
