@@bbmtge i can never remember to save my life which is very odd seeing as how i spent over 20 years in the service and know the importance of what units do/did what. i'd have to dig out what i have of his service record, but he was in 155 towed artillery. to quote him "the big 6 inch guns" lol. come to think of it the video mentions the larger unit he was in but not the battalion or smaller unit designations. a bit of deeper dive may produce those. there has been virtually no documentary produced regarding field artillery units in either theaters of ww2. or any other war for that matter. some of the civil war ones mention them here and there but only in passing. it's all about the trigger pullers. but i can totally see that since i was one myself for a while.
my dad was part of this operation. thanks for the upload.
Which unit?
