Lt Winters was an amazing man and his story is fascinating. "Band of Brothers" is a must read book and the HBO Mini-series is excellent.
IMHO, Damian Lewis was cast perfectly as Lt Winters.

I agree. I think it's time to watch the mini-series again!

Thanks for the post. What a man. Winters just epitomizes the American citizen soldier. A ninety-day wonder who kicked the crap out of the pro's in the Wermacht and their master race.
BTW, I've thrown some strong hints and I think I'm getting a copy of the mini-series for Christmas.
