One of the most popular episodes in the Band of Brothers series is Episode 7, "The Breaking Point", which finds Easy Company attacking the village of Foy on the Bastogne perimeter. In this episode, we're taking a few artifacts from The Gettysburg Museum of History back to the battlefield to explore what happened with Ron Speirs' run and the actual spot where Shifty Powers took out the German sniper.
