Ok, you might think this is sick, but World War Two is my hobby and I was clued into your page by a WW Two web site page. I am also a history student, with a BA in history AND a prior marine and now a Sgt. in the National Guard with 19 years of service. I write in reaction to your wonderful web page for your father. He writes a story of carnage.... I think that he is exonerated b/c what happened was WAR. We suffered a dead soldier, and we destroyed a village somewhere in Germany. NOW that sounds horrible...but we are armed with 20/20 vision and at the time, when they made the decision, they only had the information on hand- -what else could have been in that village? More German soldiers willing to die for a lost cause?ÊÊWar is filled with making choices that are bad to avoid making choices that are worse. It is that are bad to avoid making choices that are worse. Tell your father that they did the best they could and that they did the right thing given the circumstances
