Episode 15: August 19th - August 24th, 1944

from Letters from the Past · host Scott Ginther

My grandfather engages the Germans south of Paris.   An unusual incident was the capturing of 12 snipers, a platoon of anti-tank guns, many bicycles, weapons and documents in a cache located in the battalion area.   Well to end it up, my tent lays in the ground and the bed-roll is completely soaked this morning. One day is just like any other day.  Last Sunday went by and I did not realize it was Sunday even though the Chaplin did his services.
