My Father's Memories

This is intense. I am working on typing up my Dad’s war memories – based in large part on an after-the-fact “journal” that he wrote in the 1990s. I also have an old diary kept at the time – but it was very sketchy – stuff like “December 1 – arrived camp x” and so on.

As I’ve been typing up his hand-written journal, I’ve been messing around online trying to find information on places, weapons, events, he describes. Wow – and I guess I knew this – but there is a ton of WWII stuff online. I found the web site for his old division, and the very cool map shown above of the route they took through Europe.
