Roof Top Willie Hero of 120 Infantry in German Siege
Walter Cronkite profiles an unidentified doughboy nicknamed Roof Top Willie, a corporal in a unit of 120 infantrymen and 60 tankmen isolated near Echternach. For 72 hours they repelled a German counteroffensive, rescuing wounded and piling up enemy dead. Willie crawled onto a two story roof, fired grenades, and killed four Germans with a single throw, then repeated against a second group until 40 Nazis lay slain. Capt. Steve Lang recalls the brutal three days a Luxembourg farmhouse served as HQ as battered tanks returned from battle.
