Ray Hill was a cook and machine gunner who survived the sinking of
a PT boat by a kamikaze attack. German forces in the middle of the
Siegfried defensive line captured Robert Corbin, a forward officer,
after he was shot. Arthur Ensley, a strafer bomber, flew into the
Brenner Pass and entered combat territory. His plane caught fire,
his pilot was shot and killed, and he had to bail out. Don Barrett,
a Marine, stormed Cape Gloucester, the largest beachhead ever taken
by a single division. Editor and fellow World War II veteran Robert
G. Thobaben gathered those reports and others from men who were
young soldiers in World War II. This book presents thirty oral
histories, 14 from the Pacific Theater and 16 from the European. In
addition to describing their individual experiences, these Marine,
Army, Navy and Air Force privates, officers, cooks, sergeants, and
engineers also discuss such questions as why men fight, how
soldiers cope with battle, why it is important to record the
stories of World War II veterans, and what they think about the
ethics of war.
