Several nights I took a few of our guys up close to the road and set up a listening post. We’d send one guy across the road to the German side and two others on the American side with the phone, just listening. Listening. Just trying to hear anybody coming through. We’d trade off sleeping and listening to this phone. Guys would think they’d hear something, but it would never turn out to be anything. For a few days we set up another listening post in an open area near the town of Foy. We’d only man the post at night. I’d head out there with one other guy and the two of us would sit out there trying to hear anything. Sergeant Bill Guarnere sat with me on many of those nights. He was much more softhearted than he ever let on. In the series, it shows us together in a foxhole. In the background we can hear the Germans singing “Silent Night” not far away from us. I hand Guarnere a picture of my girlfriend back home, lamenting to Bill that she was finished with me—just in time for Christmas. I don’t remember that ever happening—the singing, or the picture incident—but this often did: Bill and I were supposed to take turns staying awake and sleeping. Often I’d wake up and he’d say in his South Philly accent, “Aw, go back to sleep, Lieutenant. I got it.” I’d protest, but he’d always insist.

there's something kinda sweet and heartwarming about the whole hbo war concept of "beating someone back to the states" because in most cases it means 'I'll be more severely wounded than you (or worse) so im gonna get sent home first' but they make it sound as a cheeky little joke between the men you can't help but smile at the whole thing despite its darkness
#i told ya id bet you back at the states ;)#son of a bitch always said he'd go first ;)#bill leyden#bill guarnere#hbo war

Guide for the recent BoB fandom information explosion
Essentially, the US Army and Heritage Education Center possesses a vast collection of materials related to Dick Winters, which served as the original source for writing the book Band of Brothers and for the production of the TV series. This includes a huge amount of photocopies of Winters' personal papers and personnel documents; photocopies of correspondence, memoirs, news clippings, oral history transcripts, and photographs from the men in Easy Company.
There are a total of 20 boxes, containing 100+ PDF documents that can be read online, involving most of the E Company soldiers whose names we can recognize.
These materials may have been on the internet for many years, but no one paid attention until very recently.
Here are some notable files among these materials: The complete catalog of the Dick Winters collection
Dick Winters interview in Aug 1990

Frannie and I wanted to get married right away, but our families tried to talk us out of it. They didn’t want Frannie to marry a cripple. They gave us a lot of trouble. They told Frannie, “You’re going to have to take care of him. The older he gets, the worse it’s going to get.” But that wasn’t me. I knew I’d live a normal life. I never believed in saying “I can’t.” If someone else can do something, I can do it. I may do it different, it may be awkward, but I’ll do it. If you climb a ladder, I’ll climb a ladder. I may go up every rung on my ass, but I’ll do it. I have done it. April 23, 1945, Frannie and I ran away to Elkton, Maryland, and eloped. Not a penny between us, just each other. When you got something good you don’t let it get away. I married an angel. She put up with me and my crazy ways. Calmed me down. She understood me, helped me, never stopped me from doing anything I wanted to do. She was my leg, she was everything. Gotta give the gal credit. We went on our honeymoon in Columbus, Ohio. Drove to Johnny Martin’s house. Where were we gonna go, Hawaii? We didn’t have a damn dime. Johnny got discharged early for medical reasons, so we went to see him and Pat. We did things simple, but we had fun.
