According to Dick Winters in Beyond Band of Brothers : The war memoirs of Major Dick Winters , Major Dick Winters (with Cole C. Kingseed), Berkley Hardcover, 2006. ISBN 0425208133, Nixon graduated from MIT, not Yale. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 153.2.246.32 ( talk • contribs)
In Band of Brothers it stated he was demoted down from regiment to battalion. What I'm not sure of is if he stayed an intelligence officer. The source of my confusion is that Winters (in the show) said he's been demoted to S-3, which is impossible since S-3 (operations) is a job usually held by a Major (Nixon was a Capt). It may be an error in the script, or maybe back then staff offices had different designations.

This page is nothing but a rehash from info from Band of Brothers. Is there nothing more to add? JD79 03:28, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
-- The first paragraph under "after the war" is almost a direct quote from Band of Brothers. It should either be cited or changed. I think the language "everything fell into place" is ambiguous and subjective. The language of this paragraph should probably be altered.

Searching the Social Security Death Index, the only Lewis Nixon who died in 1996 had the following statistics: Born: June 8, 1913 died February (no day specified) 1996, social security number 248-20-0106. Death certificate issued in Detroit, Wayne, MI. I didn't just want to add this info to the main article without some other corroboration of the facts. -- Fxer 07:28, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
Lewis Nixon died on January 11, 1995. That is an absolute fact; I don't know where the 1996 date came from. It has now been corrected. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sophia M. ( talk • contribs)
"Nixon and Winters were put through basic training at Camp Toccoa, Georgia and eventually trained at many locations throughout the U.S. and England for the invasion of France."
Who is this Winters you speak of? Winters isn't introduced until the next section. Who Winters is needs to be explained. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.195.12.6 ( talk • contribs)
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Lewis Nixon III's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 05:13, 27 August 2018 (UTC)
Lewis Nixon apparently had a son, Michael, with his first wife Katharine Page, he's mentioned in a dispute about Stanhope Nixon's estate: https://law.justia.com/cases/new-jersey/appellate-division-published/1962/71-n-j-super-450-0.html. There's various mentions and speculations about him around the web, but I haven't found a decent source for this though I don't think. Anyone got a better source and is willing to cite it? 45.36.131.243 ( talk) 05:33, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
