Title: In the boots of an infantryman from Normandy to Berlin
Review: George Wilson landed at Normandy on D-Day, fought his way inland through France, crossed the Siegfried Line, and saw the fall of Berlin. Of his company, he was the only one who was there from the invasion to the surrender. All of the others were either killed or wounded. Mr. Wilson's book places you under his helmet, witnessing tree-bursts from German artillery, midnight patrols in pitch-black darkness where every sound is a gun being aimed at you, and the bombing of an Allied tank convoy by American P-47s. You are the one who nearly steps on a land mine in a pasture in France.At the end of the book, Mr. Wilson does a gives a bit of his philosophy of combat which I believe is pretty darn good. I won't spoil it for you - you'll have to read it for yourself - but its the reason why our boys are sent overseas to fight.Overall, a good read that you may have trouble setting down.
