The Eagle's Nest by John Shaw

May 7, 1945 . . . With Göring’s champagne and Bavarian beer, the veterans of Easy Company celebrate the end of World War II in Europe. Fate could write no better ending for the paratroopers who jumped into the darkness of Normandy, slugged through the mud of Holland, and froze in the woods of Bastogne. Now, in Berchtesgaden’s storybook Alps, P-51s of the “Checkertail Clan” cap the party as the Band of Brothers enjoy the spoils of war, the beauty of peace, and a toast to the heroes who fell along the way.

Easy Company veterans Don Malarkey and Earl McClung will be your guides as they travel to the Alpine town of Berchtesgaden, Germany in our exclusive DVD production “Return to the Eagle's Nest.”

Filmed during their recent 2008 odyssey, Don and Earl revisit 3rd Reich sites and stories from the war’s final days, perhaps for the last time.

See where Talbert discovered Hitler’s Mercedes, how McClung became the first American to reach the Eagle’s Nest, and visit the train tunnel where Malarkey’s friend found Goring’s jeweled sword.

Adding to this once-in-a-lifetime production are interviews with artist John D. Shaw, veterans Rod Strohl, Shifty Powers, Clancy Lyall, and a rare, exclusive, Valor Studios-filmed interview with Major Dick Winters in Hershey, Pennsylvania!

This special, bonus DVD is only available by purchasing a Eagle Proof, Publisher Proof, Artist Proof, or Victory Edition print of “The Eagles Nest.” Ships in Spring 2009.
