Edward Ihlenfeld remembered:that once he and two buddies were hiding in a barn and drew straws to see who would go out and search for food. He got the short straw, went out and when he returned he found that his two buddies had been captured by the Germans.
Another time, near the end of the war, he and his buddy lobbed grenades at a window where a sniper had been firing at them. They found the body of a boy about 12 or 13.
He returned to his police job in Milwaukee after the war.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
