I guess the court seems split about 50-50. Some of the guys I talk to loved the lambaster; some loathed him.
There is one thing though, through this forum we can expound the glories of some of the other WWII commanders that nobody really hears about or even know about. So why not talk about these men and their deeds during the war. What say you?
From what I have read about the 540th, they had a pretty darn good leader in a man Colonel George W Marvin, who headed the regiment. Of course he too will be included in my book when it is completed.
Thanks for your comments. They are always welcomed my dear.
