Watching the PBS special now:
So many scenes I remember from sharing photos and stories with guys who were there.
Hemingway, Dietrich, de Gaulle, Patton finally accepting the "Black Panthers" (761st Tank Battalion) - and the hundreds of thousands of people who fought, and died, to free Europe. Continuing east, the Allies reach "the camps". Have you survived - if there is no one you know still living?
Many of the show's photos and dialogue come from the diaries of those in service. In particular, Lee Miller. > Lee Miller - Wikipedia <
"The mission of this Allied Force was fulfilled at 0241, local time, May 7th, 1945. EISENHOWER"
In honor of all those who never returned.
