[Reference] Band of Brothers Winters and Nixon timeline

[muccamukk]

It's very much Winters and Nixon-focused, but would probably be of use to the fandom generally for the war stuff.

Sources: This is based on a combination of newspaper reports, obituaries, Beyond Band of Brothers: The War Memoirs of Major Dick Winters by Dick Winters and Cole C. Kingseed, Biggest Brother: The Life of Major Dick Winters, the Man Who Led the Band of Brothers by Larry Alexander, "Operations of the 101st Airborne Division in the Invasion of France" found on Archive.org, and Wikipedia. Where conflicting information has been found, we've tried to indicate it. I'm shitty at sourcing individual items, but if you want to know about any of them, please ask.

All corrections and additions welcome. Thank you to kunstarschloch (especially for Nixon family history) and scandalinbohemia for your contributions!

[EVENT] Band of Brothers Rewatch

[thrillingdetectivetales]

It's official, everyone! Heavy Artillery will be hosting a Band of Brothers rewatch for old fans, new fans, and anyone who might be interested!

Starting Saturday, October 26th, we'll be watching both episodes in order starting at 10 AM CDT*.

Since we have a handful of members across various continents, the current plan is to watch-along individually with discussion posts for each episode going live a half-hour before and a Discord chat open for participants at any time. While all are welcome to join in, you don't have to be available at the time of the watch-along to participate in the discussion posts or Discord chat. I encourage you to watch at your leisure with the assurance that fellow fans will be around to flail with you as your schedule allows.

If you're in the U.S., you can find Band of Brothers free to watch on Amazon Prime Video. If you're in Canada, you can find it streaming on Crave TV, and HBO Nordic has it for folks in Scandinavia (and possibly other European countries). At present there are no plans to livestream the episodes. If anyone has information about where to watch the show overseas, please let me know and I'll add it here.

*If you're not sure what time that is for you, you can check out the current time in CDT here and convert accordingly.
