My brother-in-law’s father was in the march to relieve Brigadier General Anthony McAuliffe. The only comment I ever heard about his march was that he ‘didn’t like Patton much.’

Too bad the men who experienced this wouldn’t talk about it much. My own father was a pilot instructor. He got orders to go overseas three times, but they were always rescinded. They were too desperate for instructors.

My cousin was there. His daughter married a German and his dad was there too. Different side though.
