If Hitler Had A Fat Budgie Called George

Pressure! Pushing down on me,
Pressing down on you, no man asked for.
Under pressure! That burns a building down,
Splits a family in two,
Puts people on streets.

World War II: Buna Beach and the Shock of the Real by George Strock, Feb 1, 1943

Three American soldiers lie half-buried in the sand at New Guinea’s Buna Beach after a battle that took the lives of more than 2,300 Allied troops. This photo was taken in February 1943, but not published until September of that year, when it became the first image of dead American troops to appear in LIFE magazine during World War II. George Strock’s photo was finally OK’d by government censors — in large part because President Franklin Delano Roosevelt feared the American public was growing complacent about the war’s unremitting, horrific toll.

“We shot at night, sprawled on the deck of a ship in rags, absolutely freezing, with a crew of tough-looking sailors eyeing us. All these girls, the whole gang of us, were trying to keep warm by drinking gin. It was a very funny time - funny but agonizing. That was my contribution to When a Man Loves…”

- Myrna Loy: Being and Becoming, p.51

This, my friends, is Major Richard “Dick” D. Winters; peace-loving and easy tempered man who grew up on a farm in Pennsylvania, paid his own way through college, and then enlisted in the US Army to serve his country becoming one of the greatest  BAMFs of the 20th century. 

He not only help train “Easy” Company during WWII, he gained the respect he deserved by working his ass off beside each and every one of them even though his rank would have permitted him to do otherwise. He was a talented leader and a damn good strategist. In his first conflict, which also happened to D-Day, he was unable to find 90% of his company and still managed to 4 German Artillery Cannons. West Point now teaches this as an example of an assault on a fixed position. Winters was awarded the Distinguished Services Cross and has had multiple runs at the Congressional Medal of Honor.

It doesn’t stop there. This bad ass did everything. He took part in Operation Market Garden, Bostogne, the Battle of the Bulge, faught his way through Barvia, and captured Berchtesgaden. He thought about going to the Pacific but the war ended before he was able. 

When Korea came around, Winters was re-enlisted and trained officers for a while until he got bored. He volunteered for Ranger School. As he was being deployed, he was pulled out and officially retired. 

He got married, had kids, and got himself a farm. Happy with the simple things, Dick Winters lived a quiet life after military career. He died this year, on January 2nd, of Parkinson’s. 

A hero and a bit of a looker, I’m surprised he hasn’t been up here before.
