Yup. Hands down the best in both series.
For some reason, I love the Snafu/Sledge character development. Pretty cool to see Snafu go from a complete dick to actually caring for Sledge.

During the interview segment of the miniseries Band of Brothers, Winters quoted a passage from a letter he received from Sergeant Mike Ranney, "I cherish the memories of a question my grandson asked me the other day when he said, 'Grandpa, were you a hero in the war?' Grandpa said 'No… but I served in a company of heroes.'"
quote:
On June 6, 2012, the 68th Anniversary of the D-Day landing, a 12-foot tall bronze statue in Winters' likeness was unveiled near the village of Saint-Marie du Mont, France.[65] Winters only agreed for the statue to bear his semblance on the agreement the monument would be dedicated to all junior officers who served and died during the Normandy landings.

Snafu is the weirdest character. I kept expecting him to die the entire time on the Pacific. He reminds me of several people I know IRL due to the Louisiana connection 
Spiers and Basilone are the most badass.
Lipton and Winters are the most universally likeable, men with few vices.
