Changes: Dewindt

Revision as of 10:35, 7 December 2013

Dewindt was a Lieutenant from the 99th Troop Carrier Squadron, which was carried by the 327th Glider Infantry.

Biography

On D-day, he was the pilot of a Glider carrying Brigadier General Amend and troops of the 327th. He mentioned that the plane was hit by a storm, and 22 troops had died as a result. The co-pilot's head was blown off as well. His arms were nearly broken trying to keep the plane level. All those men died trying to protect Amend, though he died, regardless.

Sometime after D-day, he encountered a group of soldiers searching for a Private James Francis Ryan. He told the leader, Captain Miller, that he'd never seen the guy.

He showed the men his crashed plane with the co-pilot still stuck after being stabbed through the face and crushed in the crash. He then told them what had happened on D-Day and how it was "F.U.B.A.R" to which they all agreed.

He gave Miller a bag of dog tags and told him to check those. Miller gave him them back a while later after checking a few of them. This was the last he was seen in the film.
