Title: The Greatest War
Review: This book contains quotations from participants that are totallyerroneous.For one, I was the only witness with T/Sgt.Beauford T. Anderson on Kakazu Ridge on Okinawa in the early morning hours of April 13th 1945 when he threw mortar shells by hand at the Japanese soldiers.In fact, I was the one who handed the shells to him, and there were no other witnesses,as stated in the book.The rest of our platoon remained inside the concrete burial vault.When daylight came he left to report to the Observation Post and received a gunshot wound through the flesh of his arm on the way.All the rest of this day's activities by Sgt,Anderson as stated in the book are a fabrication.I know this all to be a fact since it was I who wrote the citation that resulted in his receiving the Medal of Honor for his outstanding feat.Hans Kaufmann , Co.A 381st Infantry, 96th Division.
