A FOOT SOLDIER FOR PATTON: The Story of a "Red Diamond" Infantryman with the U.S. Third Army

Michael Bilder, a member of the 5th Infantry Division, was often at the tip of the spear in the Third Army's onslaught. A rifleman foremost, he was also a German-speaker, called upon for interrogations and special duties. Assisted by his son, Bilder gives us an intimate look at the brutal though often exhilarating experience of fighting with Patton's vaunted Third Army. 16 pages of photos.
