Marion: A good book to read is Lt. Coll Sherman W. Pratts (Ret) book "Autobahn to
Berchtesgaden. (Gateway Press Inc. 1992). Sherm joined just prior to ww 2. Served in the 3rd Inf Div as a enlisted man till getting a battlefield commission. He was C.O. of
L company 3rd Bn. 7th Inf Reg. 3rd Inf Div.during a lot of ww 2. He was one of the few that survived from Africa to Austria. He gratiously sent me a copy of this book, autographed, and with a warm note on the flyleaf which I may someday send you.
(no, not the book as it is treasured).
