Undeclared Band of Brothers - Bastogne

In this episode we follow Easy Company's medic Eugene "Doc" Roe as he tries his best to hold his fellows, and himself, together while they deal with a lack of supplies, food, ammo, warm clothing, boots, and morale for weeks in the coldest winter Belgium had ever seen. It's rough.

On the history side of things, we discuss the real Doc Roe, Renee LeMaire and Augusta Chiwy, We sing the praises of Shifty Powers, and learn a little more about Norman Dike.
