My dad was with a tank outfit too. Did what it took, which was a hell of a lot. Best time to stop NAZIs is right now.

We're lucky they made it back, Don. The 10th suffered a 74% casualty rate by the end of it all. They were the first armored unit shipped straight to France. Two weeks later they were part of the 'Reduction of Metz', a stronghold that hadn't been taken since to Roman legions built it 1500 years ago. Dad was the most popular guy at division HQ, he was a mailman.

Oh, mail was the social media of the time, and absolutely vital. My dad and my mom actually met by mail! My dad fixed tank radios and wiring. Wasn't tank crew, but he saw plenty of what happened inside those things.... The guys who lived wound up bonded as tight as anything. His battalion had reunions right up until they were about all gone.
