Easy Company lands in Normandy, but is scattered all across the region and away from their designated drop zone. 1st Lieutenant Meehan, commander of Easy, is killed when his plane suffers a direct hit and 1st Lieutenant Winters must take command. With a small group of men, Winters takes out a set of German gun emplacements at Brécourt and thereby wins the respect of his fellow soldiers as a leader. Recently promoted 1st Lt. Speirs is introduced.
