[edit] Plot
As Easy Company enters Berchtesgaden at the conclusion of the European war and captures Hitler's Eagle's Nest, time is taken to reflect on long years of training and months of combat. Garrison life proves to be almost as dangerous as combat, and casualties continue to mount after VE Day, from traffic accidents and access to alcohol and firearms. In the background is the spectre of reassignment to the Pacific and the officers (highlighted by voiceovers by Major Winters) struggle with the choices available to them: volunteer to fight in the Pacific or go home to an uncertain future. The final minutes of the dramatic presentation review in voiceover what the Easy veterans went on to do after the war, and the series ends as it began, with interviews of actual Easy survivors. The anonymous interview subjects are finally identified during these final scenes.
