Now they are showing the German rail guns hitting Anzio.
Those were a big part of what my old prof. talked about.

He said that he had a freaky experience when, after the war, he was sent
stateside to some Army base.
He said he nearly thought he was going insane because he started hearing
again the sound of the rail guns.

Turned out our army had transported one to the base my prof was in stateside.
I guess the gun was studied partly for artillery purpose and for future
space work due to the height the shells could reach.

Interesting they are talking about the letters home. After dad died we put together two volumes of the V-mail he sent home. Hardly any of them spoke of the discomfort. He talked about the weather alot and the guys in his unit. Talked alot about food and the care packaged they sent him too.

They shared the packages from home especially the food. Yum-Yum cakes held up pretty good as well as white potato fudge.
