And the 296th, and 51st. My step-dad was a sergeant in the 296th, landed at Normandy, fought at the Bulge, helped liberate the Buchenwald camp, and were among the first, if not THE first American troops to occupy Berlin... all while building bridges across europe.

Daddy was in the 208th. Exact same story except for Buchenwald. Also went into Berlin early.
