Thanks for your thoughts.
There is a member here j3rdID whose unit took Hitler's "Eagle's Nest" but for political and Public Relations the 101AB moved in after them and the 3rd was relocated down the mountain to other quarters.
Even in the Band of Brother movie and TV presentation they perpetuated this LIE because it played better in the news media etc. Stephen Ambrose included this LIE in his book and not enough people know that Gen. Eisenhower debunked the LIE and gave recognition to the 3rd ID in an official document he issued.
I lost a lot of respect for Ambrose because he took liberties with the material provided to him by a lot of the BTDTs and it has been said many times "That is not what I told Ambrose in our interview".
