Band of Brothers: What Happened To Dike After The War

As with most of the characters on the groundbreaking HBO miniseries, the Norman Dike Band of Brothers character is a real person. Band of Brothers is an epic re-telling of the 101st Airborne’s “Easy” company’s heroic activities during WW2, which casts Lieutenant Norman Dike as an incompetent character – whose real life was surprisingly at odds with the portrayal. Many of the other surviving members of Easy Company would go on to lead successful lives. That the real-life inspiration behind the Norman Dike Band of Brothers character could be counted among their number shows he was an exemplary man in his own right.
