COMBAT STORIES FROM World War II

Fred Bahlau | 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division - Army

2:50   |   The first German soldier that Fred Bahlau killed during the Normandy invasion had a camera around his neck, so he had his first souvenir. There were 80 men holding the bridge where he was, but there was one problem. Headquarters had no idea that they had taken the bridge. This led to deadly consequences. Part 3 of 3. (This interview made possible with the support of FRANK LEYENDEKKER.)
