Forty World War II Veterans tell their stories of serving in Europe, North Africa, and the Pacific in their own words. These veterans, now between ages 90 and 100, recount stories including flying over Normandy on D-Day, dropping paratroops and gliders, re-patriating Japanese prisoners from China back to Japan after V-J Day, meeting Eisenhower, driving General Charles DeGaulle while he was leader of the Free French Forces and in exile in England. Soldiers tell about their long, hard, cold battles led by Patton as he pushed through France, Belgium, and Germany to secure victory in Europe. Filled with photos of people, planes, ships, and equipment. One B-17 bomber pilot tells about his emergency landing in Germany and spending nine months in a German POW camp. Learn first-hand history and lessons in courage and patriotism from the men and women who were there. Hear first-hand accounts of pilots and bombardiers shot down over Germany, their survival and imprisonment in German prisoner of war camps. Hear the optimistic and patriotic words of those brave veterans who fought to save civilization . . . and won!
