I too with my uncle...he had been selected as a pilot candidate and had started flight school at the University of Pittsburgh, until the Allies started taking huge casualties and he, and his classmates, were pulled out of flight school and became infantry.
He fought in the Battle of the Bulge and also liberated a concentration camp.
[QUOTE=bugstrider;9148096]I am very privileged to have a great Uncle who is still with us, who was a mechanic on P-47's in the European Theater.
