Damn it to hell, just when I thought all was laid to rest on Berchtesgaden I get a letter
from the 3rd Inf. Div Historic Society.::: Gentlemen,
Richard Winters, former CO of Easy Company 506th PIR, of Band of Brothers fame, has written a new book. In it he still disputes the capture of Berchtesgarden by the 7th. After consulting with Sherm Pratt we decided to answer him with the attached letter.
ROCK OF THE MARNE,
Mike
I dont really know if the "Band of Brothers" movie brought this on or what, once again.
I have the complete letter to Mr. W inters from the Society of the 3rd Inf Div. but will
not post it unless requested. Seems to me that times and dates and facts are history,
as proven finally.. Seems to me that once again, if it wasnt done by Airborne, special
Forces, Rangers, or the likes it wasnt done. And no one else could do it but them.
Kinda wonder just why it was the 3rd Inf put up the flag on May 5 '45.
