In a series of gripping true stories the reader accompanies young American infantrymen from the invasion of France to final victory in Germany. In addition the reader discovers:

 

Why General George S. Patton sent 300 American soldiers on a secret mission impossible;

 

How the Mafia saved thousands of GI lives;

 

Why American prisoners of war were taken out of a POW camp and transferred to the notorious Berga concentration camp;

And many more untold stories of WWII.

 

Detailed accounts of the endurance of young GIs during the Battle of the Bulge precede their ultimate horrific discovery of the Dachau concentration camp. The GIs’ reactions and the shooting at the wall are vividly recreated from personal interviews of men who were there.

 

The Day the Thunderbird Cried is about heroes and villains, liberators and survivors and provides a detailed background on how Adolf Hitler brainwashed 60 million Germans into allowing it all to happen.
