Re: The Filthy 13
As per normal nice post JC i have the book that Richard Killblane & Jake Mcniece wrote and this is from the flyleaf "Throughout the war,however,the heart and soul of the filthy 13 remained a survivor named Jake Mcniece,a half-breed indian from Oklahoma-the toughest man in the squad and the one who formed it's character.Mcniece made four combat jumps,was in the forefront of every fight in northern europe,yet somehow never made the rank of PFC.The survivors of the filthy 13 stayed intact as a unit until the allies finally conquered Nazi Germany".There is very little on the pathfinders written and this is a cracking book to fill that void.
