In episode 7 of BOB (The Breaking Point), the 101st is bombarded by what type of shells? The destruction caused by the bombardment is very big.

Hello Guillermo:
According to the book, Easy Company noticed many large shell-holes when they took up positions in the woods; these were probably from 170mm guns. The devastation wrought by these guns was of course amplified by tree-bursts which sent splinters of tree slicing through the air in addition to the usual metal shrapnel. Best wishes.
