Jim Denninghoff
WWII | 1st Battalion, 399th Infantry Regiment, 100th Infantry Division
Jim Denninghoff graduated high school in 1943 and was part of the Army Specialized Training Program which put recruits in college to study engineering. Manpower was needed on the battlefields of Europe, so he was made into an infantryman and, after a miserable Atlantic crossing, he entered the fray. (4:18)
