Great presentation. Spiers remaining out of the limelight just adds to the mystique, I fear that any interview might have paled to the Superman we have created in our imaginations. He remains an enigma and that is perfect.

Major Winters himself in a video interview described his phone conversation with Lt Col Spears admitting to killing unarmed German prisoners.

Winters received the DSC for taking out the guns at Brecourt Manor, not the battle of Carentan.
