My cousin died during one of those battles (my uncle Dave, his dad, was much older than my mom) and he is buried in a US Military Cemetery in Tunisia. Thanks for posting.

Fascinating articles. Thanks for posting these. Reading newspaper articles gives a different perspective from reading history books.

There’s an interesting article in today’s selections (your first post) about how the U.S. govt is planning an effort to reeducate Europeans after the war, to “decontaminate” Europe of naziism.

It’s hard to see from our perspective today how that could have been considered a problem in those days. I wish instead they had decontaminated Europe (and the U.S.) of communism.
