I had several uncles and a father involved in that war. One uncle was a captain under Patton, another flew 30 missions into Germany for the mighty eighth in a B17, another spent 8 months as a POW near Munich. Still another in the navy. My father was in the army engineers and was transferred out of an infantry division that was mauled at the battle of the bulge before that battle. Funny how they all seemed to know what was really important in life.

Here's a link to my Uncle Tom relating his POW experiences.
