on September 4, 2022My father Sidney Kleinman was in the 87th, and I stored all the anedotes he told us, but only became an academic historian as he was ageing. Many unanswered questions now! I've read Lester Attwell's Private too. Anthony Beevor may sell books, but his flippant dismissal of the 87th in Ardennes, as if the riflemen like my Dad were responsible for their feeble leadership, is unscholarly. Anyone who experienced Dec 44 > Jan 45 and traversed Germany, via Eisenach, deserves nothing less than our unmitigating respect for their bravery. Stalwart & Strong***
