Night of Nights
by Gil Cohen
Print #4 in our "Band of Brothers" fine art series.


 

June 6, 1944, above occupied France . . . With steely eyes, the Band of Brothers paratroopers of the 101st Airborne lunge toward their rendezvous with destiny. Many carry a letter from Gen. Eisenhower that they keep tucked under helmets, in jump boots, and in bulging jacket pockets, close to heart. It read: “Soldiers, Sailors, and Airmen of the Allied Expeditionary Force! You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you.” At the door of each C-47, with chaos a step away, the troopers knew: “Tonight is the Night of Nights.”

Hang Tough, Bastogne 1944 by John D. Shaw
Print #3 in the Ghost Wings "Band of Brothers" fine art series.


"Hang Tough, Bastogne 1944" by John D. Shaw
December 24, 1944, north of Bastogne, Belgium.
Within the Bois Jacques forest, paratroopers of Easy Company, 506th P.I.R., 101st Airborne, filter back to their foxholes having repelled an attack earlier in the day. On this frigid Christmas Eve, Captain Dick Winters supports his men with his words: "Hang Tough." Despite being surrounded and ill-equipped, the Band of Brothers would hold the line. Ultimately, the 101st Airborne would help turn the tide in the Battle of the Bulge.
