Band Of Brothers: The Eagle’s Nest Significance & Who The Dead German Solider Is

The season finale of Band of Brothers details the capture of Hitler’s Eagle Nest by Easy Company, but questions remain over what exactly the Nest is, what its significance was, and who the dead German soldier was that was found there. Throughout HBO’s Band of Brothers, the journey of the 101st Airborne Divison, or Easy Company, is detailed from their tribulations in boot camp to the end of World War II itself. At the end of the war, Easy is sent to capture the town of Berchtesgaden, a Nazi stronghold in the Bavarian Alps.
