         The life and times of Mark and Paula Persons
Saturday, June 20, 2015:  This is part two of what happened at Fagen Fighters on that day.  A WWII American and German ground battle. 
But first, let's look at the camps how and where the American troops lived.
The German Waffen-SS were well trained and well equipped.  They were very sure of themselves and their ability to dominate the world. 
Good leadership too, except for Adolph Hitler, that is.
There were German soldiers on reconnaissance, then a battle started.
 The Americans brought in a Sherman tank to bolster their infantry.
A ferocious battle ensued.  It looked like victory could go either way, especially after the Germans brought up a fighting vehicle.
The Americans won it in the end.  Good going, GI's!
Quote of the day:    Seeing this battle was a history lesson in WWII.   Mark    < Back to previous story Ahead to next story >
