My dad was in Operation Dragoon which was originally scheduled for 6 June but was delayed until 15 August.
The 36th Infantry Division was part of Operation Dragoon, a Division that I served in later, and my dad faced the German Luftwaffe, whose planes I was jumping out of to earn my German jump wings, of course, later.
My father and I had somewhat different experiences with the Germans.

My father served in the Atlantic, on anti-submarine duty. He never served in the Pacific. He pretty much forgave the Germans, but he hated the Japanese until the day he passed. Pearl Harbor was too hard a thing to forgive.
