Robert Wynn (soldier) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Robert Wynn (soldier)
Sergeant Robert 'Popeye' Wynn (July 10, 1921 – March 18, 2000) was a non-commissioned officer with Easy Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, in the 101st Airborne Division of the United States Army during World War II. Wynn was one of the 140 Toccoa men of Easy Company. Wynn was portrayed in the HBO miniseries ''Band of Brothers'' by Nicholas Aaron. ==Youth== Robert Wynn was born in July 10, 1921. He was from South Hill, Virginia in Mecklenburg County.〔P.34, Brotherton〕 In 1941, Wynn attended a machinist course at a vocational school in Norfolk. There he befriended Darrell Powers. After the Attack on Pearl Harbor, Wynn and Powers along with others in the vocational school were shipped to Navy Shipyard at Portsmouth to work on the battleships.〔p.38, Brotherton〕 Right before they were about to be frozen to the job, Wynn and Powers enlisted in the army and volunteered for the Paratroopers.〔p.38, Brotherton〕 They understood that the training would be difficult, so they vowed they would make it to the end, and they made a bet that if either of them quit, that person would have to pay the other ten dollars.〔p.38, Brotherton〕 Therefore, later when asked by Lieutenant Richard Winters what got him into the paratroopers, Wynn answered, 'Shifty did.'〔p.101, Alexander〕
