Dick Winters Says British Are Great Planners But Can't Execute | Band of Brothers
Major Dick Winters, portrayed by Damian
Lewis in
Band of Brothers, gives
his honest opinion of the British, saying
they're "wonderful planners," but when it
comes to execution, "you better do it
yourself." Winters addresses the British
failures in Operation Market Garden in
World War II, criticizing their lack of
urgency by saying that "the British of
course have to stop and have tea."
Operation Pegasus, which is depicted in
Band of Brothers, is also
mentioned. In the Dick Winters interview,
the Easy Company veteran goes on to
discuss his dislike of British rations
compared to American rations, the latter
of which included Hershey's chocolate
bars.
