Default Re: Prüm, Germany. Feburary 1945

Great thread. My grandfather passed away on 3/17/08. I received a box of his papers & medals from the war. He served with the 4th Div., 12th infantry, G Company. He was there for the taking of Prum. He received his first bronze star for dragging a wounded man for 3 hours from cover to cover while being mortared and machine gunned trying to get him back behind the line. that was on 4 March 45 near Rommerstein (just east of Prum). I am lucky he saved everything including a beautiful book about 4th Div from D-day till home including all the mens pics like a school year book.

If anyone has more photos from the area around Prum please post them for me.
