Interesting short video covering some of the history of Ron Speirs with video of him toward the end. Did you know he was Commandant of Spandau Prison for a while? Listen to what he says about Rudolph Hess.

 

From YouTube: "One of the most mysterious & fascinating figures from Band of Brothers was Ron Speirs, who served in the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment of the 101st Airborne in WWII. In their groundbreaking book, Fierce Valor, authors Erik Dorr and Jared Frederick uncover a lot of previously unknown things in the fascinating life of Ron Speirs. In this episode, we're looking at some of the artifacts from the collection of Ron Speirs. In addition, we're unveiling some footage of Speirs that has only been seen by a small number of people.
