Site where Richard Winters and Easy Company shot up a German Company on Oct. 5, 1944. He charged the crossroads where the Germans were. After they took the crossroads they tried to move to the river to take the Ferry (the road which goes to the north from the crossroad) and trap the German companies but had to retreat from enemy bombardment.  Winter's believed it to be the most heroic day Easy company ever had. With just 35 men he routed 2 companies of SS soldiers about 300 men.  There is a monument here memorializes the event.

Easy Company

Easy Company, 2nd Battalion of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division, the "Screaming Eagles", is one of the best-known companies in the United States Army. Their experiences in World War II are the subject of the HBO miniseries Band of Brothers based on the book of the same name by historian Stephen Ambrose. In 2009, twenty of the last few remaining survivors from Easy Company recounted their stories in the oral-history book project We Who Are Alive and Remain: Untold Stories From the Band of Brothers.
