Brecourt Manor is where Dick Winters and easy company was given an order: “There's fire along that hedgerow there. Take care of it”. In the series this is where Easy company takes out the three german field artillery guns. This is a private farm held in the family for centuries and we ran into some college kids conducting archeological digs and they were a little ornery so we had to go around the tree line into the cow pasture. Chris told us a story about how a GI has shot the owners father and commander had threatened to lockup the soldier if he dies and luckily the Frenchman survived. The owners father never really wanted that story told. The archeologist seem to tick of Chris but all turned out fine and we got to meet the farm owner.
