My dad, T5 William Miller was a halftrack drive with the 6 th battalion.
He was captured at Kassarine Pass. He was taken to a prison camp in Italy and he escaped after being there at the camp 6 months. He remained behind the lines for 12 more months before getting back to US forces.

Question on the Tiger unit mentioned in this article, I have always read it was the sPzAbt 501, not 591. I'm assuming this is a typo as I have no record of a Tiger unit with that number.

To whom it may concern my dad was there. He was wth the Second Armored Division "HELL ON WHEELS" 702nd Tank Destroyer Battalion, 195TH Anti Aircraft Battalion under general Patton. I can remember him saying that if the Germans had a few more tanks…….. then he just shook his head negatively. My dad was a Staff Sargent, he was on a half track with a 50 cal. machine gun in his hands. He went on to Sicily, landed at Anzio, went on to Holland , Belgium, D-Day + 2, fought in the Adennes, Battle of the Bulge, (was called back twice) backed up the 82ND and 101ST Airborne, Liberation of France, crossed the Rhine River, and ended up 60 miles outside of Berlin, where he was told to stop, while the Russians got the credit. He is 92 years old, I take care ofhim 24/7. Respectfuly, Tom Todisco
