The U.S. officer whose quiet leadership was the central theme in TV’s Band of Brothers has died aged 92.
Major Richard ‘Dick’ Winters’ World War II career was chronicled in a book of the same name. He died in central Pennsylvania on January 2. Mr Winters became the leader of Company E, 506th Regiment, 101st Airborne Division on D-Day after his company commander died during the invasion of Normandy. source
A Belmont Club commenter says it well:
‘Godspeed.
It was a comfort knowing Major Winters was still with us. The world seems colder as those who have been “on point” all my life fade away, leaving only us to cover for the generations that follow.’
