| Major Josef "Sepp" Gangl: The Wehrmacht Hero Who Died Fighting for the Allies |
| 2022-06-20 |
 [Gun America] Josef Gangl was born September 12, 1910, in Obertraubling, Bavaria. The son of a Royal Bavarian State Railways official, young Josef aspired to a career as a professional soldier. However, post-WW1 Germany was not the ideal place to pursue such aspirations. The Reichswehr was limited to a roster of 100,000 troops by the Treaty of Versailles. However, Gangl made the cut and was assigned to Artillery Regiment 7 in Nuremberg. |

| #4 A friend loaned me a DVD of Brad Pitt's Fury(2014) and it was an interesting (anti-)war film that I will probably never want to watch again. Reading the story about Major Gangl's heroics reinforces my feelings that there are movies that leave you feeling better about humanity and that a movie about Gangl would be great. |
