5) John und zwei unbekannte Frauen in Belgien. Doug schrieb: "I found out that they sent that picture to him with a letter and they were friends of his. They greeted him as their liberator. The girls were in front of their house in Binche. Their Father and brother were civilians and in a German camp.If you look real close my Dad is standing on a board to raise himself up to there height. It is great and that is a great picture of him."

6) Panzer in Belgien, Johns Panzer ?
Doug schrieb:" I remember a story that my father told me that when they were crossing the country side, I believe in December it was freezing cold. I believe they were out of fuel. To secure the area the gunner (Corporal John) would fire with the machine gun in a zig zag pattern with tracer bullets. I think it was night time when they last fired this drill. Then in the morning they would scout to find a German soldier frozen to a tree with the machine gun bullets through him and the tree. The German soldier had a anti tank' bazooza' with his finger on the trigger and the sights on the tank. The tank would have been destroyed within seconds of there gun drill and the skill to maneuver this large gun.He said that they took turns to scout and he remembered dragging two five gallon cans of fuel for a very long distance through the deep snow.My father was discharged at 148 pounds so this was quite a task for him. They had a choice either to freeze to death or find fuel. And at the same time they were sitting ducks." |
