Hold the line! This week on Cocktails & Classics, we delve into the pivotal siege of Bastogne in Band of Brothers Episode 6, "Bastogne." Join us as Easy Company faces brutal winter conditions and dwindling supplies, we are fully introduced to the medic Eugene Roe, and the Germans take the offensive foot in what would later be known as the Battle of the Bulge.

In the episode:
-Masterful Storytelling: Dylan gushes over the storytelling style of following and focusing on Roe, the character development given to Roe throughout the episode, and how it has become his favorite episode yet.
-Ben's Bad With Blood: Ben gets a little queasy with some of the more in-your-face viscera in this episode, and we definitely couldn't become war medics.
-Mental & Physical Tolls: Explore how the episode depicts the psychological and physical burden of prolonged combat and harsh winter conditions.
