The Assault on Foy: The Reality for Easy Company (No AI)

Huge thanks to VAER for sponsoring this video. Check out their outstanding collection of watches right here: https://vaer-watches.sjv.io/battleguide On a cold winter morning in January 1945, across this very ground, groups of American servicemen, freezing and tired, huddled in their foxholes. Over the last fortnight, surrounded and outnumbered, they had endured repeated enemy assaults as they clung to their positions outside the Belgian town of Bastogne. Now, finally, it was their chance to advance. Over the coming hours, those men, including the famous ‘Easy Company’ of Band of Brothers fame, would launch an assault on a nearby village as the allies re-started the advance towards Germany.
