THE END OF THE WAR

Although the end of the war had been declared in May 1946 many German commanders refused to follow Hitler’s edit to surrender to the Allies. For this reason, fighting still occurred deep within the forested area of Germany. It was during this time that the Gun Battalion crossed the Rhine and spent the night at the fortified castle.

From October 1945-February 1946: This time frame has never been filled in for me. For this reason, it is important to write down all the facts and interview all the war heroes before their story remains silent.

February 23, 1946: Returned to US for discharge with rank of Staff Sergeant
