 |Aux3 = [[Richard Winters]] and [[Herbert Sobel]]
 |ShortSummary = In 1942, Easy Company [[Parachuting#Jump training|jump trains]] at [[Camp Toccoa]] under First Lieutenant Herbert Sobel, a strict disciplinarian who goes out of his way to find fault with his men. The company is shipped to [[England]] in September 1943, and as training progresses, Sobel's inadequacy as a leader in the field becomes evident. Now-Captain Sobel fabricates a dispute with Lieutenant Richard "Dick" Winters, and gives him the option of accepting unwarranted punishment, or trial by [[Courts-martial of the United States|court martial]]. Winters surprises Sobel by rejecting the punishment and chooses the court martial. These factors lead Easy's [[non-commissioned officer]]s to resign en masse. Colonel [[Robert Sink]], the regiment's commander, reassigns Sobel to command a parachuting school for non-infantry personnel. With new leadership, Easy Company prepares for [[Operation Overlord]].

 |ShortSummary = Easy captures the [[Kehlsteinhaus|Eagle's Nest]] in [[Berchtesgaden]] without resistance, and the [[End of World War II in Europe|end of the war in Europe]] is announced. Finding a collection of alcoholic beverages in a cellar at [[Hermann Göring]]'s house, Winters allows the company to celebrate before they travel to [[Austria]] to become an occupying force. It is then announced that the division will be redeployed to the [[Pacific War|Pacific Theater]], but those with enough [[Adjusted Service Rating Score|points]] will get to go home. General Taylor authorizes a drawing for each company to rotate one soldier home, and Staff Sergeant [[Shifty Powers]] wins Easy's drawing but is severely injured in an automobile accident on his way to the airfield. Private Liebgott leads a trio that tracks down and [[summary execution|summarily executes]] a concentration camp commandant at a farm.

Desiring to redeploy sooner, Winters applies for a transfer to the [[13th Airborne Division (United States)|13th Airborne]], but is denied. Despite the war's end, Easy Company men continue to be injured or die. Easy oversees the surrender of 25,000 German troops in [[Zell am See]]. Over a company baseball game, Winters narrates the fates of some of the men.
