СКАЧАТЬ Fighting with the Screaming Eagles: With the 101st Airborne from Normandy to Bastogne БЕСПЛАТНО EPUB - DOC - DJVU - RTF - PDFОписание: Robert Bowen was drafted into Company C, 401st Glider Infantry, 101st Airborne Division, as World War II broke out, and soon afterwards found himself storming ashore amid the chaos on Utah Beach, through unfamiliar terrain littered with minefields and hidden snipers.He was wounded during the Normandy campaign but went on to fight in Holland and the Ardennes where he was captured and his "trip through hell" truly began.
In each of Bowens campaigns, the 101st Screaming Eagles spearheaded the Allied effort against ferocious German resistance or, as at Bastogne, stood nearly alone against the onslaught of enemy panzers and grenadiers. His insights into life behind German lines, after his capture, provide as much fascination as his exploits on the battlefield. An introduction by the worlds foremost historian of the 101st Airborne, George Koskimaki, further enhances this classic work.
