Résumé
Col. Ed Shames is that rare man who can call himself a true warrior. A member of Easy Company of ‘Band of Brothers’ fame, Shames saw combat in some of the most ferocious battles of WW2. From jumping behind the… lines of Normandy on D-Day with the 101st Airborne Division, to the near victory of Operation Market Garden, to the legendary stand at Bastogne during the Battle of the Bulge, Shames fought his way across Europe and into Germany itself. Although he started as a private, combat soon forged Shames into a tough and inspired leader who would win a battle field commission in Normandy. Seemingly always where the fighting was, his two goals were to prevail in each fight with the Germans, and to keep his men alive. 2015.
