i really appreciate the great amount of research you did. my father lost his twin brother here, the hole he left in the family tree is still felt today. Because there were so few survivors, this story is never told. Thank you for all you you have done,
My wife and I have since created a monument dedicated to the men of 1st Bn, 115th at Le Pont de la Pierre. Could you share some information about your uncle please?
@@alliedvictorytours He was a Private in Company B of the 175th infantry of the 29. He made it over Omaha in D+1. on June 7. I have letters, maps, reports, and pictures of the men he served. After the war, national magazines offered families free adds hoping someone could report on my uncle's last moments. After five years, a soldier 10 feet from my uncle confirmed he saw my uncle shot, definitely killed. The fighting at Hill 108 was so veracious that neither the Germans nor Allies could be buried. Months later, many of those soldiers were buried in a mass grave by mostly local Frenchmen. (The smell was awful.) I have boxes of paraphernalia regarding his service. On the Day he was shot dead, his troop was the closest to St. Lo. Some call it one of top ten battles of WW2. I will share what information I have.
A really good and informative description of the actions both allied and German positions and ensuing battle , also the whys and wherefore of those days .
sorry to be so offtopic but does anyone know a way to get back into an instagram account?? I somehow lost my password. I appreciate any help you can offer me.
@Quinn Marc Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and Im in the hacking process now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
Very interesting. My father was part of the 116th . If he was attempting to explain what made the fighting difficult after Omaha, he summed it up in one word, "hedgerows".
My father was in 29th, 110th field artillery. The 110th have a wonderful book and their trek to Saint Lo. My father would have crossed the Elle. He was a forward observer and with the 116 when wounded on June 17. He said hedgerow fighting was psychologically nerve racking. He was wounded somewhere between St Clair sur Elle and La Fossadiere.
My Uncle Is 2lt Ralph Ferguson And the Path He took through the bocage country of France. Was a very treacherous Endeavor !!! Fighting Nazis In every direction And Directing a company of Men wounded and Out of Ammo . What a day To Remember . Rest In Peace

Why don’t they walk on the outer sides of the hedgerows? The G maps are helpful
Is that footage of US troops at 10:14 actually recorded by the germans?
No, it's US footage
