About my grandfather…

by here2brew

He served In the 101st according to the badges in his BDU. He was purportedly a “ radio commander” at the “north cliffs of Normandy, second wave.” He also said that he helped liberate concentration camps after the war.

He was a deeply troubled man who never spoke about his experiences. The above are what we were able to put together. Any ideas how I might figure out where he served? Or what his time abroad looked like?
