Band of Brothers - Series

Easy Company soldiers in Hitler's Eagel's Nest in Bergof 

I watched the television series  Band of Brothers recently. I would say this is one of the best television drama series I watched about the Second world war.

This story is about a paratrooper company of United States Army landed in normandy on D - Day (6th of June 1944)  and fought its way through europe and ultimately capturing hitler's hideout called Eagle's nest in state of Bavaria's  city of Bergof.

The story of Easy company of the  U.S Army 101st Airborne Division was told through  paratroopers experiences  and their commanding officer Dick winters memoirs It's very hard not t fall in love with Doick Winter' brave yet simple character and be amazed by his strategic thinking. It's refreshing to see real Dick Winter and listen to him who retired to small farm in his twilight years  many moons later.

It's cast acted extraordinarily true passion and film paid attention to very small details in war era storytelling scenes.  It's Executive producers were Tom hanks
and Steven Spielberg. TV series is a proof of talent show for these two giants of world cinema.

Falling

Falling myself again 
Nothing left to hold on
Spending my time alone
Struggling the sinking feeling .

Hope has dissolved in time 
Pessimism has settled in mind
It is the scariest thing
The fear never ends.

I see all of you in my dreams
But no one remembers 
No responses , no calls back
No replies for any massage .

Unheard , unrecognized 
Sad and anguished 
Frightened by the devastation 
Scared soul , no where to turn .

Unable to escape , strangled 
in empty quite moments 
in this melancholic moments 
I am haunted by this loneliness .
