The producers wisely kept their identities hidden until that final episode, when the members are revealed as the real life heroes portrayed in the film. Adding poignancy to the war time casualties as well as the heroics seen on screen, surviving members of Easy Company regularly open each of the ten episodes with brief insights into their personal experiences serving in the unit. The series chronicles the exploits of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division from that day through the end of the war in Europe, taking a two year step back in time to the birth of the unit in Toccoa, Georgia. Unless you're watching actual combat footage from real battles, there's no more accurate depiction of the horrors of war than observing what the men of Easy Company went through beginning with the D-Day invasion of Normandy on June 6th, 1944.
