- WWII Vet Tells a Good Story
In a great story, John recounted how his platoon discovered a hidden tunnel used by the Germans. While stationed in an old French village, they noticed unusual activities around an abandoned church. Suspecting something was amiss, John ordered a thorough search. His men found a hidden trapdoor leading to an underground tunnel. The tunnel was part of an extensive network the Germans used for transporting supplies and moving troops covertly. Realizing the strategic importance of this find, John reported it to his superiors. The information led to a coordinated assault that disrupted the German supply lines, significantly aiding the Allied efforts in the region. John's keen observation and initiative played a crucial role in this victory.
