Writer Reflects On Three Dreary War Years In Germany
Kenneth L. Dixon revisits memories of World War II through conversations and recollections from Americans in Germany. He recalls paratroopers, a Baltimore lieutenant, Archie MacArthur, Sparks the radio man, and others, wondering where they are now and how their wartime stories linger in his mind. He weaves scenes from Naples to Rome, Anzio to Cassino, with nurses, pilots, doughboys, and a Neapolitan taxi driver, ending with a poignant question about the fate of those who shared the journey.
