Ah yes, May 8 1945. A great day to be still alive. We were in a small village in Austria about half way between Berchtesgaden (*our last objective) and Salzburg (our home for a couple of months). We occupied civilian houses during this time and enjoyed the comfort after battle conditions for so long.
A great celibration for the wars end i n the ETO and prayed for the end in the PTO also. It was great to live like a human once again and plan to see another day safely.
