MORNING KARL!
the CLOSE COMBAT BADGE is the one i talking about that made me think of
a USN submarine badge.
and the INFANTRY ASSAULT BADGE was one of those on his tunic.
and he was a STAFF CORPORAL!
those were TANK DESTRUCTION BADGES, too
that was the same type of smock too.
yah- could be the date/location he got the weapon was later in the war
in Germany, not Normandy.
and, like most infantry toted weapons, i am sure that it was used when
ever it was needed, in ways designers never considered..
thank you for the info, KARL!
i never doubted that POPPA was a brave man, but this really confirms my
thoughts!
knocking off 2 enemy tanks takes big balls, as does geting those IRON
CROSSES.
