My dad was in an engineer btn in the 90th division, I miss hearing his stories. He didn't go into much detail about the combat side but he had an uncanny memory about what he was doing in the in the towns and villages across europe.
He grew up in a small german community in Iowa, learned to speak german before he learned english. Being bi-lingual was useful in europe, it saved his life on one occasion. Many german pow's thought he must be a traitor, they didn't believe an American could speak it so well.
