Brothers of the Scorch

Brothers of the Scorch is a South Korean-Vietnamese-Filipino-American war drama miniseries based on all chapters of When the Cold Breeze Blows Away that take place on Operation Buttertoast, including some that take place on the siege of Kassala and Operation Killswitch. The executive producers are Steven Spielberg and Paul Soriano. The episodes first aired in 2001 on KBS in South Korea, Vietnam Television in Vietnam, ABS-CBN in the Philippines and CBS in the USA.

The series dramatizes the history of the Buttertoast Alliance from training in all over Europe through its participation in major actions in Europe, up until Japan's capitulation and the war's end. The events are based on Ambrose's research and recorded interviews with Easy Company veterans. The series took literary license, adapting history for dramatic effect and series structure. The characters portrayed are based on members of Easy Company. Some of the men were recorded in contemporary interviews, which viewers see as preludes to each episode, with the men's real identities revealed in the finale.
