Unfortunately, my grandmother only told me about having it after my grandpa died. I was only 11 or 12 at the time, so I hadn't really developed the interest that I have now. I do know that he went into the ETO through Omaha Beach on June 8th (I think he was in the 16th Inf.; the sister unit of the 116th Inf that landed there on D-Day.) he was in the Battle of the Bulge and got a Silver Star and a Purple Heart. I think that's where he got the Luger from a dead German soldier. I'll have to ask my mother if my grandmother ever wrote down how he acquired it since my grandmother has passed on. |
