What do you think I should write to these parents? Hear what I said? You've been demoted. Demoted, got you. How do I tell them their kids never made it out?

Thinking very hard about that real Dick Winters was very against the over usage of curse words like “fuck” in BoB and Tom Hanks had to agree to scale back the usage, and one of the notable curse words in BoB is Nix’s “son of bitch” after Dick accidentally poured his piss to wake him up, and that Dick said that was one of his favorite memories during the war, with a robust laugh.

Nixon: it's kinda gay when we hold hands, don't ya think?
Winters: No I'm pretty sure it's the marriage certificate that makes it gay.

Stephen Ambrose really took 164 pages of Band of Brothers to mention Dick and Nix being good friends. Literally said Welsh was Dick’s “best friend,” much, much earlier in the book. (Which, they arguably were also bffs after being roommates in Aldbourne.)
You think maybe he was holding himself back so he could focus on the task at hand and not go off on a tangent and write, “Winters and Nixon,” every 2 sentences?

After two days in defense, Easy Company received orders to mount its men on trucks and move toward Uden on "Hell's Highway" in anticipation of a German attack. We were part of a two battalion-size force under command of Lieutenant Colonel Chase, the regimental executive officer. Easy Company only had sufficient trucks to carry half of the com-pany, so I commanded the first serial. Captain Nixon and Lieutenant Welsh accompanied me as we approached Vechel. No sooner had we passed through Vechel en route to Uden, a scant four miles away, than the Germans severed the road in two places. Lieutenant General Brian Horrocks, commanding the British XXX Corps whose mission it was to secure Hell's Highway, later referred to the German attack as his "Black Friday." The German assault also left us isolated. I turned to the men and said, "Men, there's nothing to get excited about. The situation is normal. We are sur-rounded!" Together with three Brit-ish tanks that were caught in town with us, we remained surrounded for the remainder of September 22 and for the next two days. I reported our dispositions to Colonel Chase, who immediately directed me to establish a defense in Uden. Roadblocks were set up on all roads entering Uden.
To coordinate the defense, Nixon and I climbed the church tower. We climbed as high as we could go, to where the church bell was sus-pended. From here we could observe the battle taking place in the vicinity of Vechel.
It was not long before we noticed a German patrol of platoon strength moving through an orchard on the southeast side of Uden. We ran down the tower and I grabbed a couple of rifle squads and sped off to intercept the patrol. We hit them hard and they withdrew. I returned to the tower to enjoy my catbird seat, watching enemy tanks approach Vechel under tactical air support from the Luftwaffe. I couldn't believe that with all this action going on, no one was coming toward us at Uden, just a few miles away. The bliss of this front row seat did not last. A German patrol must have spotted Nixon and me, or, at least suspected that somebody was in that tower.
They sent a long shot our way and it literally "rang our bell," which was right over our heads. We came down the stairs of that tower so fast that our feet did not touch the steps more than two or three times. After we hit the ground, we enjoyed a good laugh just thinking about how we must have looked coming down.
