One of my late mother's cousins was in the 84th "Railsplitters" division, in fact, looking up stuff about him today was pretty productive. He died a couple of years ago, but once when I asked if he'd been in the Bulge, he said, "we had to go up and help out up there." OMG. I just laughed again. Anyway, he mostly told me about the trip over the Channel, and getting arthritis in his knees from frog-walking the 75 (or so?) pound rounds over to their gun many hours a day, and I think about this guy, whom he knew well and served with and described in humorous ways:Fritz Kraemer
Very interesting. Thank you for posting that about Fritz Kraemer.
