Re: Sword Beach to Bremen., A Veterans tale. Sapper
Having just turned 32, I have started to question some of the young lads coming into service. Looking at them on the street in their civvies, you would never trust them to handle anything. But all dressed up in fatigues and some training to boot, they handle themselves well. (as I did in the mid 90ies...)
Must have been exciting to drive a DD through the Dutch night Sapper.
I don't like to navigate in foreign places at night, and that is without the risk of anyone taking shots at me.
