On June 6, 1944 (D-Day), the Allied forces launched the Normandy invasion, the largest coordinated attack by air force and naval fleets known to date. Stalin once wrote to Churchill and commented: "This is a feat that has never happened in the entire history of war." The Battle of Normandy brought about a fundamental turning point in the entire strategic situation of World War II. It also largely determined the subsequent relationship between the United States and Europe, and established the overall pattern of the post-World War II world.

"Band of Brothers" refers to Company E of the 506th Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division, which is Ryan's unit in "Saving Private Ryan". They were the best combat elites of the US military in 1942. In April 1944, the United States sent all 6,700 paratroopers belonging to E Company to the front line. Due to attacks on the aircraft, almost all paratroopers failed to land at the scheduled location. E Company fought hard while searching for the team, with a casualty rate as high as 150% (because those who were replaced were wounded and died again), but they successfully encircled Hitler's base camp in Sittersgaden.
