Little Minnesota in WWII

I dropped you an email the other night about the new 295th audiobook just released. I hope you don't mind me posting a short blurb and link to Amazon where folks can hear a sample of audio and purchase.

The untold WWII story of another band of brothers who also trained at the infamous Camp Toccoa. Marv Allen's voice is a time machine that puts you right alongside these forgotten heroes as they travel from the United States to Europe doing their part in the battle against tyranny. A light and often humorous account by S/SGT Thomas E. Coon finally made known.

In the Face of Obstacles

Her father was with the 34th Inf Div

Here's a description (taken from Amazon.com)

In the Face of Obstacles is the true story of a heavy machine gunner in World War II. It chronicles my father's experience as told by soldiers who were there with him, by photographs including his own, and by his regiment narrative histories. Put them all together, and a detailed account of their daily lives unravels with boot camp dirt in the green hills of Alabama; a seasick troop ship across the Atlantic Ocean to Casablanca, where "A-rabs ain't got cigarettes" and camels stink; a dusty boxcar ride across North Africa, where people live underground; hardcore training camps in the desert of Algeria, where cognac doubles as lighter fluid; and a thousand miles of frontline combat in a rugged country called Italy. It is all through the eyes of "the infantrymen who would likely be wounded or killed."

Wolfgang W. E. Samuel

It describes how Hitler's "scorched earth" policy was thwarted by many Germans, some in high places and his orders not adhered to. I have emailed John Fallon with a description as it contains a section on Operation Dragoon in which he took part.

The Author is Randall Hansen and it was published by Faber & Faber in 2014.

I read a lot of books about Normandy and a couple about Dragoon in Southern France but this is a winner - Eisenhower's Thorn on The Rhine by Prefer. It starts lucky enough with the godawful fighting in Rambervillers and Remiremont but not in detail because he is telling about the fight on the Rhine. Our Regiment fought continuously with the 117th Recon, and our artillery, the 83rd Chemical mortar battalion and the entire thing was blurred by the fighting in the North, Now this book tells almost nothing about those units but when I read it we were there. It was our story of 44-45 and I hope others from the 36th, the 117th, and the 83rd can read it.
