According to his NYT obit (1987), yes.

Btw, I noticed the price of the NYT is three cents!

Close to what it's worth today.

[Tax-chick]

LOL!

"Religious conviction led many Jehovah's Witnesses to shun obedience to the Nazi government.

Of the groups of people having a choice in the matter, Jehovah's Witnesses voluntarily suffered Nazi persecution in the highest percentages. I don't agree with all their religious views but I sure respect them for the way they stood up to Hitler.

Yes, he is buried at Arlington.

The picture is my family taken mid-June 2001.

Ironically on the same trip we had a friend who works at the Pentagon give us a tour and we walked through the newly reinforced section which was hit three months later on 9/11.

One can see how a conviction against saying or writing “Heil Hitler!” would lead to many arrests.

Ditto that!

Thanks! I just learned something about a fellow Texan.

[Tax-chick]

I also knew very little about the General’s career. Extremely impressive!

Three cents more than it's worth today!

With six fleet carriers and six light carriers, the United States Pacific Fleet now clearly exceeds the power of the Japanese Fleet that began the war and rampaged through the Pacific.

I find it interesting that the stories of Nazi persecution of the Jews is always a side story, but now that the atrocities on Bataan have come out, there is outrage and front page headlines.

[CougarGA7]

Again, complements of the CMH. I made it a more reasonable size this time.

[GeronL]

I love maps like that

[henkster]

The Jews of Europe aren’t “our people.” The Germans are mistreating millions of Soviet POW’s as badly if not worse than the Japanese are treating the GI’s who surrendered on Bataan. But they are not “our people.”

Not condoning any of these atrocities, it’s just that some things will grab an American’s attention more than others. And this feeling will change once guys from Kenosha Wisconsin and Atlanta Georgia walk through the death camps.

There is a new Museum of WWII Aviation starting up in Colorado Springs. Next door is an aircraft restoration company we also got to tour. They are working on a Corsair that is in mint condition. Beautiful bird.

[colorado tanker]

Germans behave like perfect gentlemen? Never on the Eastern Front, where they behaved brutally. They even had moments on the Western Front like the Malmedy Massacre.

It goes to the theory you discussed yesterday, henkster, that wars increase in brutality as they wear on.

[colorado tanker]

Thanks for posting. He was quite a man.
