Dog tags belonging to two members of the Band of Brothers, made famous by the 2001 Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks HBO epic, have been discovered in the UK 78 years after D-Day and are being spotlighted for a documentary for Dan Snow’s History Hit streamer.Snow’s team discovered the tags belonging to Richard A Blake and Carl Fenstermaker after digging at Aldbourne, Wiltshire, where the 101st battalion, otherwise known as Dick Winters Easy Company, were stationed during World War Two.
The tags were found by archaeologist Richard Osgood and a team of veterans from Nightingale and Aldbourne Heritage Centre supported by Breaking Ground Heritage.Members of the Easy Company were made famous by critically-acclaimed 2001 HBO series Band of Brothers from Spielberg and Hanks, which dramatized the experiences of the battalion and starred Damian Lewis as Winters and David Schwimmer as Captain Herbert Sobel.Snow’s documentary will be titled Uncovering the Band of Brothers and will drop on Little Studios-owned History Hit later this month along with an accompanying podcast.
