Where can I find "Winter's Way"?

[EDIT]
Okay, I found the Brécourt Manor Assault of Richard Winters. Looks like that this operation is not well-known in Germany. But now I remember this scene in "Band of Brothers". When I saw it, I though "typical Hollywood", but it seems to be historical correct. Helmet Wink

I read at Wikipedia that one machine gun position was destroyed before the assault:
"Upon arrival at the battery location, Winters made his plan. He positioned a pair of M1919 machine guns for covering fire and sent several soldiers (2d Lt. Lynn D. Compton, Pvt. Donald Malarkey and Sgt. William J. Guarnere) to one flank to destroy a machine gun position with grenades and provide covering fire."

Is this correct?
