COMBAT STORIES FROM World War II

Charles Shepherd | K Company, 3rd Battalion, 121st Infantry Regiment, 8th Infantry Division - Army

4:45   |   Charles Shepherd was near Saint-Lo during the massive bombing campaign over that city. The men in his rifle platoon were baffled when strips of aluminum began falling around them and they hustled to gather them up. Later they learned what they were and how they were no danger. As they moved out, meeting no resistance, they advanced and dug in seven times in one day.
