This fall, the National WWII Museum is offering a tour of Europe following in the footsteps of Easy Company, the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division, made famous in the HBO miniseries “Band of Brothers,” based on Stephen Ambrose’s book of the same name.
The immersive tour, “Easy Company: England to the Eagle’s Nest,” will start out in Aldbourne, England, where the company prepared for the invasion, taking guests to the beaches and hedgerows of Normandy, the foxholes surrounding Bastogne, and the top of Hitler’s Eagle’s Nest in Germany. Along the way, locals like the Renaud family in Sainte-Mère-Église, Normandy, recount memories, such as seeing paratroopers falling out of the night sky.
