Your dad must have been with my dad's little brother, also a scout tank (three man crew baby sherman) commander in the 4th armored division of the third army. Uncle was credited with driving the first US tank into Mooseburgh POW camp. They raced against the clock to beat an SS unit there and fought it out at the gates, killing them all. Uncle made it into one of Broakow's books. Meanwhile another uncle was in the Pacific with the Marines and dad was in Africa/Italy with the 15th Air Corps. Two out of three are gone now.

My father said he and two others in his squad crossed the river into Berlin and were ordered over the radio to come back to the east bank, because they had to wait for the Russians to enter Berlin.

He told this to my son and I have a hard time getting him to open up, but some day soon.
