new info on the 540th
#9

I will add a link to your site. If there is anything I can help you with, just let me know. WOuld love to be of assistance.

I've already linked to your page. I don't know of any way you can help me, as "my boys" didn't make it to Holland---except maybe as POWs.

 

I have a few books that I sell in my PX.

"Alone and Unarmed" - First printed in 1968 and now re-relased.

"And There Shall Be Wars"

Both are signed by the Veterans, who are still with us.

 

Another new print is "Through My Eyes: 91st Infantry Division in the Italian Campaign, 1942-1945 " by Leon Weckstein. I'm not as wild about it as it doesn't match the style and honesty of the above books. He gets into bragging territory. And maybe I can get you a few of the others in my Library when they pop up on eBay. Let me know. I just shipped a copy of "Alone and Unarmed" to Dresden. There is a crazy Italian who wants 2 copies. He is restoring an L-5 Cub and he wants to read how these a/c were used in Italy.

 

So that is why we have a SOuth African and an Indian buried there.

And don't forget the Nisei soldier of the 442RCT. Captured while rescuing the "Lost Battalion" and shot by Russian liberators. Still MIA. What a story.

I am slowly adding a unit history of the 442RCT to my site from the WW2 booklet given out to the soldiers.
