Major Dick Winters, portrayed by Damien Lewis in "Band of Brothers", talks about Ronald “Sparky” Speirs shooting unarmed prisoners during WWII. During Easy Company’s attack on the German-held village of Foy, Belgium, Winters made Ronald Speirs the commander of Easy Company, a position he held until the war's end. We also explain the true story around Sparky Speirs shooting a sergeant in his own platoon. The included clip is an excerpt from the Dick Winters interview that Rep. John Payne conducted in the early 2000s.
