Campaigning the Ardennes by a 82nd Airborne Gun Crew Chief
An Ardennes winter campaign memoir by a Green wood Chippewa Hills resident and ex 82nd Airborne gun section chief. He recalls near Bastogne in February 1945, severe dehydration from diarrhea, a three day cellar rest, hospital trains, and Paris General Hospital care as Allied push into Germany continues. The piece blends combat duties, improvised shelter, and wartime medical treatment with reflections on faith and endurance.
