60 Years Ago - May, 1945...

With the talk of the 60th Anniversary of VE Day - May 8, 1945, it sent us back through Uncle Bob's WWII Timeline to get a perspective of where he was around the end of April & May of 1945. We found out that he was hanging around Germany operating radio communications as Ground Liaison Officer with the 75th Inf. Div. HQ APO 451. Actually, from a letter dated 18 May 1945 we found out that he was in the town of Plettenberg south of Dortmund, Germany and had been there for about 3 weeks (27 April thru 18 May, 1945). We also found an article printed in the local Alva, Oklahoma newspaper, dated April, 1945 -- Capt. Robert L. McGill makes the headlines in Jasmine & Jade Article - April, 1945 Uncle Bob was sure a "Good-looking" gentleman, wasn't he?   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
