Title: How it was
Review: This is a ground level personal look at the European war by a 'grunt', the guys who carried the burden. No high-class outfit here, just the daily grind of what it took to 'save the world for democracy'. Gives a wonderful insight into to daily battle to stay alive, stay sane, stave off hunger, keep from freezing to death. These guys took no 'sick days'. They battled frozen feet, German shelling, 'personal' bullets from snipers, contant hunger, filth, snow, and a miriad of other problems. They watched their buddies blown up next to them, followed orders, and did what it took to 'just get home' again, and return to an ordinary life. Toughened by the Depression, tested by the elements and the enemy, their greatest wish was just to get it over with so they could go home to their family. A personal view of why this was truly 'The Greatest Generation.'
