This candid memoir of a GI serving under Gen. Patton offers a rare glimpse into the realities of life and combat in Europe during WWII. Though Gen. Patton’s army is famous for dashing armored attacks, some of the most intensive fighting of World War II was done by Patton’s infantry—the foot sloggers who were deployed to reduce enemy strong points. This candid account of the US infantry in the European theater takes the reader from the beaches of Normandy to the conquest of Germany—all through the eyes of an infantryman who had the unique perspective of speaking the enemy’s language. A fluent German speaker, Michael Bilder was called upon for interrogations and other special duties. As a combat lifeguard, he also played a key role in successive river crossings. Here, Bilder relates his experiences of infantry life, from German snipers to intoxicated Frenchwomen, to the often morbid humor of combat. He also describes the Battle of Metz in all its horror, as well as the 5th Infantry’s drive into the Bulge, where they faced their first winter battle against enemy veterans of Russia.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 On November 7, 1942, the press was invited to the White House. They were locked in, and fifteen minutes later, the President’s secretary came in with news that the troops had landed. #2 The Battle of the Coral Sea was a mess, but it was the best I had ever seen. I was afraid I would get fat from all the exercise I was taking. I gave everyone a simplified directive of war: use steamroller strategy, and do not steamroller tactics. #3 I went on deck at 2 am, and saw the Fedhala and Casablanca lights burning. The sea was calm, and there was no swell. God was with us. We had a great day so far and had been in a naval battle since 8 am. #4 I decided to attack Casablanca with the 3rd Division and one tank battalion. It took some nerve, as both Truscott and Harmon seemed in a bad way, but I felt we should maintain the initiative.
