Disclaimer: I don’t own Band of Brothers, this fic was based on the portrayal by the actors, not the actual men. I have nothing but the utmost respect for the men of Easy Company.
Notes: Short drabble piece, set during episode 9.
‘Jesus, Web. Can you believe this place?’
When the question came, private Webster wasn’t sure what to think. Could he believe this? Could anyone, really?
Could anyone grasp the sheer misery, the injustice, the evil of it all? The sight of half-burned bodies and walking skeletons. The smell of hunger and decay. The smoke of burning flesh.
The sheer thought that human beings were capable of committing such a heinous crime. The size of the whole thing.
It was as if the whole world had slipped into madness, and morals, humanity and goodness didn’t matter anymore.
Could he believe this?
‘No.’
