What I've been able to to piece together was the he hit Normandy after the initial beach landings (lucky!), then spent the next six months fighting the Wehrmacht and ultimately ended up being wounded by shrapnel in the Ardennes in 12/44, which ended his European tour.
I wish I could have got more details from him but that's just not something you press someone on.
It's unfortunate that as the last of those who remember are leaving us that we have others who deny what happened.
Yea the Holocaust deniers are sick, not just "flat earth" sick, lack of compassion sick.
