HQ 2nd Battalion 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment w/a member of the Dutch Resistance with annotations. Vicinity of Stanggas, Bischofswiesen, May 1945. [995×655]

– [Autographed image from the University Archives auction house indicating Foley, Nixon, Speirs, and Welsh](https://www.universityarchives.com/auction-lot/b-w-photo-of-easy-company-at-hitler-s-eagles-nest_b8448b3b84). Winters signed at the bottom right, likely not to interfere with Nixon’s signature. Compton’s autograph appears as well but not near any individual possibly indicating his absence from this photo.

On the slopes of the Baderlehenkopf.”*

– [Supporting annotations](https://www.reddit.com/r/BandofBrothers/comments/178mms3/eagles_nest_easy_company/k51h6zp/) from /u/yo2sense. The only 2 that are in contradiction are Foley/Walker and Speirs/Henderson. Repeated here for ranks:

John van Koojik

SGT John Zielinski

~~LT Thomas Gibson (XO of 2nd Battalion HQ Company)~~ CPT Jack Foley

PFC William A. Walker Jr.

PFC William E. Patterson

PFC Steve Mihok

CPT Lewis Nixon

~~PFC David B. Henderson~~ CPT Ronald Speirs

MAJ Richard D. Winters

T/5 George Haddy

CPT Lloyd J. Cox (CO of 2nd Battalion HQ Company),

LT Harry F. Welsh

I still think Speirs got robbed of the CMoH for his Run at Foy.

Currahee!!
