Henry Langrehr

Henry, a paratrooper with the 82nd Airborne, recounts his war time journey. Among the troops parachuted into France right before the Normandy Invasion, he survived when many others did not. Captured by the Nazi's, he endured hard labor in a coal mine, only to escape and make his way back to allied lines.

This book was well written and engaging. It gave enough details about the war to paint a broad picture, but not too many details to bog or slow the book down. Henry was, and is, a true hero. Anyone who fights for our country, who is willing to sacrifice themselves, is a hero. Overall, well worth reading.… (altro)
