THE EAGLE'S NEST - Original Oil on Canvas
by John D. Shaw
May 7, 1945: With Göring’s champagne and Bavarian beer, the Veterans of Easy Company celebrate the end of World War II in Europe. Fate could write no better ending for the paratroopers who jumped into the darkness of Normandy, slugged through the mud of Holland, and froze in the woods of Bastogne. Now, in Berchtesgaden’s storybook Alps, P-51s of the “Checkertail Clan” cap the party as the Band of Brothers enjoy the spoils of war, the beauty of peace, and a toast to the heroes who fell along the way.
✅ 'THE EAGLE'S NEST' is one of John D. Shaw's most iconic paintings, which is now available for purchase and looking for a new home!
