As the series is based on historical events, the fates of the characters reflect those of the persons on which they are based. Many either die or sustain serious wounds which lead to their being sent home. Other soldiers recover after treatment in [[field hospital]]s and rejoin their units on the front line. Their experiences, and the moral, mental, and physical hurdles they must overcome, are central to the story's narrative.

It follows the story from their initial training starting in 1942 to the end of [[World War II]]. They parachuted behind enemy lines in the early hours of [[Normandy landings|D-Day]] in support of the landings at Utah beach, participated in the liberation of [[Battle of Carentan|Carentan]] and again parachuted into action during Operation Market Garden. They also liberated a concentration camp and were the first to enter Hitler's mountain retreat in [[Berchtesgaden]].
