The Friendly Invasion (audio story): Difference between revisions

== Notes ==

* [[Dainty Company]] was inspired by the real-life [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E_Company%2C_506th_Infantry_Regiment_(United_States) Easy Company], known to popular culture as the Band of Brothers. During a visit to a pub in Oldbourne. [[writer]] [[Chris Chapman]] saw the framed minutes of a meeting held there by Easy Company shortly before their departure to [[France]]. Chapman used this as the basis for the story's setting and sought to explore how the American soldiers spent their last days in Britain before the invasion. ([[BFX]]: ''The Friendly Invasion'') In the story itself, one of the soldiers does make a quick reference to E Company.

* Despite the synopsis claiming the story takes place in [[1943]], the dialogue explicitly dates the story to [[4 June]] [[1944]], just ahead of the [[D-Day]] [[Normandy landings|landings]]. The one reference to 1943 in the story is as the [[year]] of Dainty Company's formation.
