The True American G.I.’s Experience Of WWII | Battlezone | War Stories
The American G.I.s got “the dirty end of the deal” according to the men that fought in WWII. In this episode of Battlezone, these G.I.s narrate their experience during the Italian campaign, recalling rain storms and meagre food rations, to rare opportunities to shower and the first cold beer they’d had in years when reaching Naples.
Also in this episode, we see how victory in Italy was finally won, and the preparations that were made for the invasion of Northern Europe on D-Day.
