O’Keefe, Patrick Sarsfield “Patty”, born 03-04-1926 in Northampton, Hampshire County, Massachusetts, USA, to Cornelius O’Keefe (1894–1964) 
and his wife Mary M. born Walsh O’Keefe (1890–1990) 
. 
His father was in Co. F 301 St. Engineers A.E.F. in WWI.
When the war was underway, O’Keefe enlisted but was only shipped out for service by 1945. Patrik served with Easy Company, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 
101st Airborne Division. 
The 506 commander was Captain Richard Davis “Dick” Winters. 
As a replacement, he arrived in Germany, eager to see action. He was present when the 506th liberated Landsberg Concentration Camp, 
O’Keefe is first seen alongside Sergeant Frank Joseph “Perco” Perconte
They are going to take over duty of a machine gun position surveying a possible German controlled site, albeit with little but movement.
O’Keefe quickly busies himself tidying the area up and prepares the machine gun while Perconte keeps getting his name wrong as he orders the private to stop bothering him. O’Keefe begins to sing while looking down the sight on the machine gun, causing Perconte to tell him off. O’Keefe corrects him yet again about his last name, infuriating Perconte who proceeds to explain why no one remembers his name–because he’s a replacement who, like the rest of them, wants to see action but they all end up being wounded and beg for their mother. This unsettles O’Keefe who goes quiet and leaves the machine gun still. Perconte sits next to him, confessing he hasn’t seen home in over two years.
When the company is moving out to another town, O’Keefe joins in the singing but is mocked by the others for his high voice. Perconte also gets his name wrong again while mocking him. While they are driving, O’Keefe sees a Belgian officer execute three Nazis mercilessly, making O’Keefe uneasy despite how calm the other soldiers are.
O’Keefe is present when the company find the Kaufering concentration camp that the Nazis kept Jews, Poles, and Gypsies in. 
Patrik is greatly saddened and cries, realizing the horrors of war. Kaufering was a system of 11 sub-camps of the Dachau concentration camp, located around the town of Landsberg am Lech in Bavaria, which operated from June 18, 1944 to April 27, 1945. Earlier, Nazi Germany had deported all Jews from the Reich, but after other sources of labor were exhausted, Jews were deported to Kaufering to create three huge underground bunkers, Weingut II, Diana II and Walnuss II, which would not be vulnerable to Allied bombing raids that had destroyed German aircraft factories. The bunkers were intended for the production of Messerschmitt 262 aircraft, 
but no planes were produced in the camps before the U.S. Army liberated the area. Kaufering was the largest of the Dachau 
sub-camps and also the camp with the worst conditions; about half of the 30,000 prisoners died of starvation, disease, executions or during the death marches.
Patrik was present when the 506th liberated Landsberg Concentration Camp, this scene is documented in the HBO miniseries Band of Brothers. 
He was portrayed by Matt Hickey.
