That's really great.
They were on the road to Antwerp?
Can you explain please?
Does he remember any places?

Hi Erwin,
Just noticed your reply. Sorry it took so long to get back to this. I don't know anything else and was going to post here to ask. All that he was able to tell me was that their very first engagment was to be taken by truck about 8 miles (maybe kilometers) from Bastogne and were told that if the Nazis started heading toward Antwerp they were the last defense. They had no artillery support and could hear the German artillery. They did have some skirmishes, but fortunatly did not have to deal with the German forces head on. I'm looking for any and all info on this section of the Bulge. After that they went to Holland and were involved in using plywood boats (he called them assault boats) to rescue some Brittish troops.
He was very helpful, but he kept saying "It was a long time ago"....
