I really enjoy reading your posts here. Having family that fought in WWII it’s something they don’t talk about so it’s interesting to see the history by the days. I’ve been reading Ted Neill’s book which essentially a memoir of the grandson of one of the soldiers he follows. It’s a great read as it covers what they went through at war, and then at home. It’s something we need to hear. Neill’s info is at tenebraypress.com. I really think his book is worth the read!
