In
February 2006 the book "Beyond Band of Brothers" was released.
Written by Richard D. Winters and Colonel Cole C. Kingseed.
After
the TV series were broadcast, Dick Winters received countless letters from
people all over the World with thousands of questions.
For years he answered those letters but as the years went bye he couldn't
do that anymore. That's why he decided to write a book so all these questions
would be answered.
Dick Winters and his 'Brothers' are very well known in Holland since the series were on TV. Because of that we contacted a Dutch publisher to translate the book into Dutch.(Publisher M)
WE SUCCEEDED!
Many
people, among them members of the Band of Brothers © are 'fighting' for
some years now to get Major Winters awarded with the CMoH.
His buddies even went to Washington DC. to convince the Senator. (photos below)
This
huge mistake will be revised in the second edition of the book. We all hoped
that this would not be necessary and that Major Winters would be awarded with
this Medal before the 2nd edition will be released. However Major Winters
passed away before the 2nd edition was released.
He never rwas awarded with
the Medal of Honor.
It's a great honor to me that the photo I made from Dick Winters in 2001,
during the world premieres of the series in Normandy, is used on the cover
of the book.(photo above)
Parts of "Beyond Band of Brothers" are based on never released
material of Dick Winters himself and his buddies. The book also contains rare
photos out of his private collection.
