Ah, this too, is too easy! I'll wait for others to guess. I guess it's hard to stump a bunch of WWII buffs!

Private Eddie Slovik, who was executed by the Army in 1945, the only American soldier to be executed for desertion since the Civil War.

 

 

Private Eddie Slovik was buried in Plot "E" of Oise-Aisne American Cemetery and Memorial in Fère-en-Tardenois, alongside 95 American soldiers executed for rape and/or murder. Their grave markers are hidden from view by shrubbery and bear sequential numbers instead of names, making it impossible to identify them individually without knowing the key.

 

I visited this cemetery , the plot "E" is forbidden to the visitors .

Merci, merci...

 

Okay this one is two-fold:

 

Number one - name this person - it shouldn't be too hard :kermit:

 

Number two - what special role did he play in WWII?

 

You gotta get both right! :bluejumper:

Awww, come on guys and gals. We have over 700 members!!!! Let's get more people interested. It's not as much fun if the same three or four people are the only ones involved.

 

I have to admit, I don't play very often because of my busy schedule, but it's fun to jump in now and then.
