What happened to the shell shocked soldiers that Patton slapped?

by boyohboyoboy

Were they sent back to the front? Did they see combat again? Did they survive the war? How did they end up?

The two soldiers names were Paul G Bennett and Charles Khul. Both survived the war.

Paul G Bennett continued to serve in the Army and also fought in the Korean War. He ended up as a SFC and he died in 1973. He is buried in South Carolina

As for Charles Kuhl he also survived the war and died in 1971 after returning to Indiana.

As for the rest of their service in the War I have nothing definitive to say however I think it would be safe to assume that Bennett at least did see combat again since he continued to serve for many years after WWII.
