I think this qualifies as one of the most unusual stories of service in WWII. A member of the 506 PIR, 101rst Airborne who ended up fighting with the Russians in the final months of the war. When I first saw this title I was skeptical, but it was written by another 101rst alum who served in Vietnam, and he lists plenty of familiar names for sources such as Mark Bando. I'm still on the first chapter, but can tell already.. it's going to be a great story. I am probably a johnny-come-lately on this book too, but wanted to mention it to fellow book lovers here who might also enjoy it. Available used or new on Amazon.com, starting at about 12 bucks.
