World War 2: Episode 52: April 2nd - 6th, 1945
This episode centers on World War 2 correspondence from a U.S. Army Captain in Germany to his wife in Michigan.
At 0615 on Thursday, 5 April, the battalion moved to Niedersfeld, where we closed at 0730. This town proved to be a hot spot with B Battery suffering two casualties, one fatal due to heavy artillery shelling in their area about 0900.00
The reason why we get such a good set up is that civilians and soldiers can’t live in the same house. Therefore we had all the civilians move out and take over completely. How would you like to have an officer knock on your door and say I’m going to take over your house. Then tell you, you have an hour to get out and stay out. Well Janey that is what your husband does. Man, woman or children all the same.
