Today in History: V-E Day
My father's "V-Mail" message to my grandmother:Dear Mom & all: Well today is V-E Day. I'll tell you how we took it here. The boys were playing cards & the C.O. walked in & said "The war's over." Nobody said anything. We just went right on playing. We expected it anytime so nothing wasn't important at all. But the only thing that mattered was that yesterday we were sweating two wars out and now we are sweating one out. Oh yes Mom tell that "hero" cousin of mine & his relations that I have personally taken prisoner more Krauts than he's seen and that includes pictures of Krauts also. Boy guys like him really burn me up. Oh yes I almost forgot I'm with the British 2nd Army. I never seen Hanover but was near there. Air mail to follow. Love, Leo. Posted by: Mike 2010-05-07 |
