| General note | "Seventeen World War II Veterans tell their stories of serving in Europe, North Africa, and the Pacific in their own words. These veterans, now between ages 90 and 100, recount stories including flying over Normandy on D-Day, dropping paratroops and gliders, re-patriating Japanese prisoners from China back to Japan after V-J Day, driving General Charles DeGaulle while he was leader of the Free French Forces and in exile in England. Soldiers tell about their long, hard, cold battles led by Patton as he pushed through France, Belgium, and Germany to secure victory in Europe. Filled with photos of people, planes, ships, and equipment." -- Amazon |
