| Summary |
"World War II history first-hand--that's the account of Private Russel E. Albrecht, U.S. Army, 30th Division, 120th Regiment. As a 'replacement' he landed at Omaha Beach, fought at the Siegfried Line, the Ardennes, the Battle of the Bulge, the crossing of the Rhine, and the drive into Germany. He was wounded twice and was hospitalized for pneumonia, bronchitis, and pleurisy. He was awarded the Bronze Star. His compelling stories bring to light the stark realities of war as a foot soldier on the front lines. Flip to a 1992 travelogue--that's a daughter's memoir of a trip with her husband and her veteran dad to re-trace that 1944 infantry route."--Author's website, viewed 7/21/14. |
