The 506th is nrotated into BAstogne in support of units who have been pushed back. THey were push back by the germans in what is refered to as the battle of the bulge. The 506th is poorly equiped an has little ammo. THis could turn into a very interesting part of the book

THE 506th is rotated from the front line back to Mourmelon. Some of the troopers get passes to go to Paris. Passes then got canceled due to fights between airbourne troops. I like the book even more now because of Ambrose's acounts from those who were actually there and it makes this book unique.

These Pages explain the failure of Market Garden and how changes would have made it suceed. Then the 506th Goes to the island in holland. the island is a narrow strip of land between the rhine and waal rivers. The 506th gets frustrated becuase life on the island in fall 1944 is like world war 1. I am still enjoying this book and am wishing i had more time to read it because it is so interesting
