Play Now Band of Brothers Season 1 Episode 10 “Points”
The company captures the Eagle’s Nest in Berchtesgaden, and also discover Hermann Göring’s house. The battalion heads out to Austria where the end of the war in Europe is announced. While those with enough points go home, the remainder of Easy Company stays behind until the end of the Pacific War is declared.
As the Germans surrender, it appears that the hard days for Easy Company are over as they are stationed in Austria. But they soon learn that those solders without enough service points will be sent to fight in Japan.
It’s May 1945 and Easy Company finds itself the first Allied troops to enter Berchtesgarden, Hitler’s Bavarian retreat. They find the village virtually empty with only a few people working in the hotel. They’re there only a short time when they get the news they’ve been waiting for: the German army surrenders and the war in Europe is over. For those with enough service, it means a trip home while the rest continue to train for an eventual transfer to the war in the Pacific. For others still, tragedy still awaits. The men of the 101st all have varied futures ahead of them. The bonds of brotherhood shaped in battle will remain with them for their lifetimes and beyond.
