Download Easy Company Soldier: The Legendary Battles of a Sergeant from WW II's 'Band of Brothers' AudioBook Free
Sgt. Don Malarkey takes us not only into the battles fought from Normandy to Germany, but into the heart and mind of any soldier who beat the odds to become at the very top paratrooper, and lost his closest friend during the nightmarish engagement at Bastogne.
Drafted in 1942, Malarkey arrived at Camp Toccoa in Georgia and was one of the main one in six soldiers who earned their Eagle wings. He went to England in 1943 to provide cover on the ground for the major amphibious military attack ever sold: Operation Overlord. Within the darkness of D-day morning, Malarkey parachuted into France and within days was awarded a Bronze Star for his heroism in battle. He fought for twenty-three days in Normandy, nearly eighty in Holland, thirty-nine in Bastogne, and nearly thirty more in and near Haugenau, France, and the Ruhr pocket in Germany.
This is his dramatic tale of these bloody days fighting his way from the shores of France to the heartland of Germany, and the epic story of how an adventurous kid from Oregon became a leader of men.
