My grandfather was a medic for 4 years in WW2. He fell overboard as they were landing in Anzio, fell 70' into the ocean. He survived and made it back home never to speak of his experiences. He probably saved countless lives as a medic. 🇺🇲
Great job, guys. Really a high professional series, with the precious words of Louis. He is one of the lasts that can give us the direct link with WWII...
Thank you Louis, it’s an honor. My dad CWO 3 John H Leonard was at Anzio and fought north through Italy. He survived the war and is resting in section thirteen in Arlington National Cemetary. 🇺🇸
Great story! Thanks for sharing Loui’s story. I was fortunate to do a battlefield tour of Anzio, monte Casino and Rome back in the early 90s while stationed in Germany. I served with 1st Armored Division during desert storm and with 3rd ID post desert storm. I’m From OK which is home to the 45th Infantry. All 3 divisions fought at Anzio. Beautiful cemetery.
My father fought at Anzio, as part of the 3rd infantry division. He rarely ever spoke of the war, I think it was too painful for him to think of his buddies who never made it back home. 🙏
@@WWIIVETERANSMEMORIESdon’t know for sure. I’ve seen the regiments daily logs from their time on the beachhead. February’s logs were missing, so I assume February. His regiment put in the line for 45 days without relief during that time. I know he was on the line. He was outside of his foxhole trying to clean up.
Thank you Mr.Stohl for your service 🙏.My Grandfather Landed here as a member of The First Special Service Force ( The Black Devil's/Devil's Brigade). His commanding officer was Col Robert T Frederick & was attached to General Mark Clark's 5th American Army & The 36th Infantry Division.

It was an Honor to have met Louis, a true American Hero 💙

The 3rd Infantry Division were true heroes!
My dad was wounded at Anzio. He served with the 36th Engineer Regiment.
Thank you for sharing about your dad. Do you know the approximate date when he was wounded ?
