My dad dropped into Eindhoven with the 506th.
He was wounded a few days later and evacced to England. He was repaird and reissued in time to make the stand down prior to Bastogne and the night cattle car trip there. He made it through the end and was suiting up for the Pacific when Hirohito threw in the towell. |

I did a battlefield walk over the 502nd and the 506th 101st area also and went to the exact location where Pvt Joe Mann was killed, he was with the 502nd. Stood across the canal from the famous 'Island' also.
I was attached to Hdqs 506th for awhile before I retired. Quote:
