To Connecticut Veterans of World War II:
Connecticut men have written brilliant pages in the military history of this nation since the days of Bunker Hill. Indeed, in days of peace Connecticut men prepared for war so well that they always have been among the first to fight.
In this, the greatest of all wars just ended, you, as a son of Connecticut, have courageously and faithfully main­tained
that tradition. In fact, you have raised it to new heights. You have added to the enduring list of victories, immortal names — Rendova Island, Kasarine Pass, Munda, Sicily, Weewak, Cassino, Luzon, Anzio, Normandy, the Ardennes Bulge, and more.
Chance and talents assigned many of you to tasks along the supply routes, in hospitals and at bases, or to toil and sweat in such places as the Lido Road and along the Persian Gulf. All these made victory possible. Connecticut men, too, played a glorious role in that part of the victory which is credited in the ledgers of history for the Air Force.
Your fellow citizens in Connecticut are highly proud of. your service. And they are very, very grateful.
Yours very sincerely, Governor HERE ARE THEIR STORIES
Editor's Note: It has been the experience of veterans of all wars that memory tends to fade with the passing of the years. Details will grow vague, half forgotten. A tendency develops which makes for difficulty in distinguishing between personal experiences and those of others of the old outfit. Events, dates and places become confused; thus the references to " veteran's tales" with the implications of that phrase. To record here and now the mood, the impressions, the exciting events, of the worst days and of the best days, is the purpose of these stories. Connecticut men were asked for their own stories and in their own words they are here recorded:
Ashton, Thomas P., Jr., Pvt., Hq. Co., 645th TD Bn., 45th Div., Waterbury.
" Now that it's over with, I wouldn't give up the experiences I had. I tried my best during my spare time over there to see the countries just as I would do if I were a civilian tourist. It's always been in the back of my mind to do that. I tried to get all the cultural value out of my travels as I could. I saw the ancient ruins of Pompeii and of ancient Rome. One fact struck me about ancient Rome. I had always imagined it as a huge city, but actually it is small and compact. You can stand in the ruins of the Colosseum and see the entire ancient city."
Baltrukonis, Alfons P., T/ Sgt., 385th Bmb. Grp., 8th Air Force, Waterbury.
" Just a short time before D- Day at Normandy, the Germans directed a bombing raid against our base in Suffolk. They scored a direct hit on a hangar and destroyed it, but luckily no one was in
there at the time. I had 26 months in England and it's great to be back home."
Berkman, Leo, T/ 5, 380th Med. Coll. Co., ( Sep.), Bridgeport.
" There are a lot of good performers in vaudeville in Italy who are anxious to work steadily even at a low salary, but the situation in the profession is dis­appointing
at best. There were many artists who could go into Broadway musicals and make good. They do nothing but talk of their desire to go to Broadway. I heard Nino Martini and Grace Moore in a show in Verona on the Fourth of July, 1945. I think that the magic and be witch­ery
of the Italian folk songs and the in­tensified
feeling with which they are sung by the Italian people, especially as Martini sang them that day, make splendid listening.
" About the Italian chorus girls— for the most part, they are altogether in-
Fort Devens, September 25, 1945
Fort Devens, September 27, 1945
capable of the task. They are not as shapely as the American chorus girl and lack grace. They frequently execute bungled dance steps. They are not, in short, chorus girls as we have come to know them in the States. A lot of girls who are totally ignorant of our lingo are able, by dint of constant rehearsal, to sing our better popular tunes like ' Chattanooga Choo Choo' and ' Is You Is or Is You Ain't My Baby,' with a most gratifying result."
Bissell, William M., T/ 5, Head­quarters,
5th Army, Norwalk.
" General Mark Clark was the finest military leader I ever saw. He did a great job in welding together the Fifth Army with units from several different countries. I was with the Headquarters Commandant at Fifth Army Headquarters, joining the Fifth when it was formed in January 1943. Before that, I'd been with the Western Task Force landing at Fedela when the African campaign started. In Italy I was on detached service, helping get Fifth Army men out of trouble with the law at Naples. I also took part in some raids on black market operations in Italy."
Blair, Edward A., Pvt., 8lst Bmb. Grp., 323d Bmb. Sq., 8th Air Force, New Britain.
" I was married overseas and my wife is a lovely English girl. Right now I'm
Fort Devens, September 27, 1945
trying to find out how I can get her to this country as quickly as possible. As you can see, I like England very much. I was overseas three years. We were based at Roysten, about 35 miles from London, and I was able to get to London quite often. It'll be grand when I'm able to get my wife over here."
Bligh, William H., Sgt,, 492d Bmb. Grp., 6th Bmb. Sq., 8th Air Force, Torrington.
" I was in London during one heavy German bombing in March 1944. The whole sky was lighted up with tracers and the sound of the ackack was deafening. The noise was tremendous. During 27 months in England, I learned to like London a great deal. I had some good times there, though everything is carried on more quietly than here at home."
Callahan, William J., S/ Sgt., Co. C. 774th Tank Bn., ( Sep.), Ansonia.
" We had a lot of fun when we were in Honnef, Germany, near the Ramagen bridgehead. There were a lot of snipers around there and we had to go in with our tanks and clean them out to make way for the infantry to come through. Our outfit was the one which exploited the bridgehead."
Fort Devens, September 27, 1945
Ciccarelli, Frank V., T/ 5, 53d Gen. Hosp., Norwalk.
" We set up our whole hospital organ­ization
at Fort Benning, Ga., then moved overseas. I was in England 20 months before I was sent back to the United States. Our hospital at Malvern Wells was a great set- up; we had the most modern equipment and the best of facilities."
Cucia, Louis F., Pfc, Div. Arty. Band, 82d Airborne Div., Middletown.
" I found out a lot about people I never knew before as a result of being in the Army. In the Army you are forced to associate with all types and it gives you a better idea on how to size up a fellow. If a guy is destined to be a gangster, he will be one— in or out of the Army. In Nice they had the idea that Airborne troops were gangsters, all because a few guys were arrested for rape or other offenses. Those guys would have done the same thing if they were in civilian life, but because they had a uniform on, they gave the rest of the soldiers a black eye."
Czajkowski, John, Pfc, 703d TD Bn., 3d Armored Div., Yantic.
" I was inside a tank, thawing it out one cold day, when there was a terrific air- burst overhead. My buddy, who was working on the outside of the tank, was killed. We fought in Normandy, Northern France, the Ardennes, the Rhineland and Central Germany. Our roughest time was at the Ardennes where the Germans really threw everything at us. We had our heaviest losses there, too, but we came back all right."
Durante, Angelo M., T/ 5, 703d TD Bn., 3d Armored Div., Oakville.
" We were near Dessau, Germany, when the Nazis surrendered. We had been out of action for ten days, so we knew that something was in the wind. We were in
Germany for four months as occupation troops. In Darmstadt we found mostly older people and they were very quiet and kind. Nobody over there will admit he was a Nazi, of course, and it's very strange where those SS men came from. They seemed to have no fathers, mothers or relatives— that is, if you believed the stories the Germans told us."
Francis, Frank A., Sgt., CIC, MIS Div., Hartford.
" I got a lot of good experience out of my work during two years in the Army. Despite the fact that there appeared to be a tremendous waste of manpower, I believe the Army has done a good job, considering the magnitude of the task it faced, unprepared, four years ago."
Gambacini, William S., Pvt., Co. B, 307th Airborne Engr., 82d Airborne Div., Shelton.
" The thing I'll never forget about my army life was the jump in Normandy. I hit a field all alone where the Germans had placed anti- glider stakes. They also had cows roaming around with bells on in order to give the alarm when we landed. My chute got stuck on one of the stakes and I couldn't get out of it. About ten feet away from me there was a hedgerow and I was sweating it out because I thought there were Germans behind it. I took out my forty- five and laid there waiting for the Jerries to show up at any minute. It took me fifteen minutes to cut myself out of the chute. While I was doing this, a Jerry machinegun opened up on the corner of the field. I thought they had opened up on me, but I noticed that they were firing in the other direction. I felt lonely as hell there. I finally got myself free of the chute and picked up my BAR from the equipment bundle which fell nearby and made contact with my buddies. Then we went on to our objective." Geckler, Kenneth R., Sgt., 410th Bmb. Grp., 645th Bmb. Sq., 9th Air Force, West Hartford.
" The most exciting part of the war to me is to come home with a whole skin. In France, during the Battle of the Bulge, German saboteurs went into action around our field and we had a job rounding them all up. The Nazi flyers strafed us pretty heavily during seme of their air attacks. We flew first from England, then we were in action from fields in France until V- E Day came."
Giordano, Thomas J., Sgt., 334th Bmb. Sq., 95th Bmb. Grp., 8th Air Force, Wilson.
" I had a couple of close calls during air attacks. One time I was thrown out of bed and another time I was knocked down. In England, before we went to France, we were right on the route of the buzz bombs the Germans were sending against London. Some of the barrages the British sent up were terrific— they looked like about a dozen Fourth of July celebrations rolled up into one."
Gorfain, Fred A., T/ Sgt., 364th Fighter Grp., 8th Air Force, New Britain.
" The Queen Elizabeth seems to be my special ship. I went overseas on her in 1943, and then came back on her to be discharged. Our outfit made fighter sweeps, did patrol, and did a lot of escort missions. Our P- 51' s flew with the bombers all the way. I wound up with the 1st Scouting
Force, a special reconnaissance group that was known as the Red Raiders."
Grubar, Ernest C., Pfc, Hq., 2d Air Div., 8th Air Force, Hartford.
" Scotland was the nicest place that I saw overseas. The scenery is grand and the people are very friendly. I'd like to go back there for a visit sometime later on. Most of the time we were stationed near Norwich, in England, and we had some bombing raids but they weren't too bad. It's certainly great to be back home again."
Herzog, Joseph P., T/ Sgt., Co. D, 1st Bn., 116th Inf., 29th Div., Bridgeport.
" We landed on Omaha Beach, Nor­mandy,
with the original assault team on D- Day. During the Normandy campaign we had some stiff fighting and we lost so many officers that three or four times I had to take over leadership of my platoon. I had one hair- raising experience that I won't forget. In Dortmund, Germany, I was in attack observing tank action when a shell from a German 88 landed in the same room with me. It blew out the side of the house. I was wounded in both legs, but consider myself lucky to have escaped that easily."
Kelley, Richard P., Jr., T/ 5, 1734th Engr., 6th Army Grp., New Canaan.
" Before going to Europe I was with an anti- aircraft outfit in Iceland, and about the only thing that territory is good for is a place to practice with the atomic bomb. We were on a little point of land and we
Fort Devens, September 27, 1945
Fort Devens, September 21, 1945
had to take a boat to get anywhere. The nearest ' town' had about 50 people. It was a 300- mile boat trip to Reykjavik and when you got there you couldn't do any­thing.
It was one of the greatest thrills of my life when I left Iceland. I was with an ackack outfit later in England and France before I joined the engineers. I had 38 months overseas, and Connecticut will look mighty good to me."
LeVasseur, Joseph P., Cpl., Regt. Hq., 504th Para. Inf., 82d Airborne Div., Hartford.
" I spent six days behind enemy lines in Sicily. On the night of July 9, the day before the main invasion force came ashore on the beaches, our outfit landed about 40 miles inland. I landed in a tree all alone. On the first morning I ran into a Jerry patrol and exchanged a few shots with them. Then I got the hell out of there. In the afternoon I ran into another patrol and did the same thing. On the second afternoon I ran into a patrol of Italians. I exchanged a few shots with them, and they got out of there. I followed a stream in the valley toward the sea, traveling by night and keeping hidden by day. Finally I made contact with my own outfit. During those six days I lived on two cartons of K- rations and two D- bars. When I found my outfit, I had one D- bar left."
Lionetti, Angelo J., T/ 5, 380th Med. Coll. Co., ( Sep.), Stamford.
" We were in the north of Italy when surrender came, after coming through Africa, Sicily and Italy. Our unit carried wounded back from battalion aid stations to hospitals in the rear. Like most of the boys, I think our hardest fighting was at Cassino; we had a hard time there and our boys did a wonderful job to break through the defenses the Germans had."
Machnicki, Walter C, T/ 4, 175th Regt., 29th Div., Meriden.
" I had three years overseas. I was a first cook. I had a job to do, I did it, and I'm home again. That's all."
McKibbin, Harry T., Pfc, 135th Gen. Hosp., Woodmont.
" Our American boys who were wounded showed tremendous courage. It was amazing the way they kept up their spirits no matter how badly they were hurt. Our hospital was at Leominster, England, and we handled many casualties. Perhaps my most exciting experience was when I was caught at Hereford during a heavy bomb­ing
raid by the Germans."
Novack, Henry, Pfc, 54th Med. Bn., II Corps, Bridgeport.
" I saw a good bit of the world over there, starting in Africa and going to Sicily, Italy and Austria. I spent 17 months with the 201st A. A. Bn. before I was transferred into a medical outfit. The worst bombings we had were at Naples, where the Nazis really tried to give us the business. I really had some thrills there all right."
Pallotti, Nicholas F., T/ 5, 729th Ord. L. M. Co., SpecTrps., 29th Div., Hartford.
" One day a German reconnaissance plane came over and took aerial photos. We didn't think much of it at the time, but later more Nazi planes came over and dropped land mines over our area. Some of them landed only 100 feet away. We spent a long, cold winter in 1944- 45 in the Rhineland, and the temperature was really down low. When the war ended, we went in to occupy Bremen. At first the Germans appeared sullen but they warmed up after that. I had three years overseas. Once the invasion started we were in four campaigns, pushing our way from Nor­mandy
up to the Elbe River." Paul, Bernard V., T/ Sgt., 43d Div. and 71st Div., Waterbury.
" I spent 15 months in the Pacific with my old National Guard outfit, the 102d Regiment of the 43d Division; then did 9 months in Europe. In the Pacific I saw a lot of Bora- Bora; in France I was in the Rhineland and Central Europe campaigns. I can't compare the actual fighting, but it seems to me that fighting conditions were much worse in the Pacific than in the European theater. I'll be glad to get home, and it'll be great to look up all my old buddies in the 43d."
Piesyna, Anthony R., T/ 5, Div. Arty. Band, 101st Airborne Div., Waterbury.
" In the Army one learns to judge a person much easier than in civilian life because you live close together. There you see a person at his best and at his worst. As a result of learning how to judge people, you get along much better with them."
Pompey, Thomas J., T/ Sgt, 161st Med. Bn., 16th Med. Regt., Southington.
" Near Bologna in Italy, German planes came in to bomb and strafe our hospital, with the strafing planes coming in from two sides. Two bombs dropped in the street right alongside where I was, but I guess it was my lucky day. Both bombs were duds and didn't go off. You couldn't have a much closer call than I did that day and I won't ever forget it."
Fort Devens, September 27, 1945
Rinaldi, Fred J., T/ 5, Serv. Co., 191st Tank Bn., 45th Div., Waterbury.
" After the war was over in Europe, I had a little time to look around and see what was going on with the politicians of AMG. Most of them were well- known politicians from New York holding high ratings as officers. They're running a city over there in Germany. Why did they send these politicians over there to run a country after guys died to rid the Germans of Nazism? They should have sent Army men in there to do the job. Those poli­ticians
are still playing politics New York style. As a result of this they are picking German people to work for the AMG who are Nazis instead of the type of people who could help them run the government efficiently and honestly."
Rozzi, Albert T., Pfc, 492d Bmb. Grp., 6th Bmb. Sq., 8th Air Force, New Britain.
" I was on duty as a truck driver, so I saw a good bit of England in my travels. They have some lovely spots over there. The Germans tried time after time to hit the field where our planes were based but they never could. But they kept on trying just as long as they had planes. They gave us some anxious moments at different times."
Sauris, Charles A., Pfc, 95th Bmb. Grp., 8th Air Force, Waterbury.
" I was at Hyde Park, London, one Sunday morning on my way to church when, without any warning, there was a terrific explosion about 150 yards away. The rush of air was so strong that I was afraid my eardrums had been shattered. It was a V- 2 and it made a crater 30 feet across and 15 feet deep. It landed in an open area and a canteen was the only building destroyed, but windows in houses for blocks around were shattered. Believe me, when I got to church, I said a very fervent prayer of thanksgiving that the V- 2 hadn't landed a little closer." Shaw, Walter J., T/ 5, 5th Ord. Co. ( Sep.), Oakville.
" We got our share of the shooting, but the roughest part we had was at Casa­blanca.
It was the most miserable place, just trying to get used to the rains and the mud. We put in six months there. The best area we had in Africa was when we were bivouacked at Bizerte, just before the Sicilian invasion. Looking back at it now, I think that my four years in the Army were a great experience."
Sidoti, Frank V., Sgt., 56th Fighter Grp., Hq. Sq., 8th Air Force, Hartford.
" We had some experience with buzz bombs and V- 2' s but they weren't as bad as the regular aid raids which the Germans had subjected us to. I was a maintenance man with a ground crew and it was our job to keep the fighter planes in shape so that they could keep on flying escort missions with the bombers. We did our best to keep them in the air every possible minute."
Simpson, Chester J., S/ Sgt., Serv. Co., 191st Tank Bn., 45th Div., New London.
" We were at Anzio for five months from the first of February to the fifth of June of 1944 and we were shelled all the time we were there. Artillery and air raids were our biggest headaches there. When I went back to pick up supplies at the rear area dumps, it was the same story— either planes overhead or shells screaming down from the artillery pieces. It was quite a relief when we finally broke through and went to Rome."
Stasonis, Victor J., Jr., Pfc, 87th Ren., 7th Armored Div., Union City.
" We did scouting and reconnaissance in jeeps and armored cars in advance of our main bodies of troops. It was exciting work. During 37 months over in Europe I was in the campaigns in Normandy, Northern France, Rhineland and Central Europe. Some of my closest calls came in
Holland and Belgium where we were partially cut off several times by the Nazis. After the war ended, we served as oc­cupation
troops in Central Germany until the Russians arrived to take over our zone."
Vitali, Philip J., S/ Sgt., 48th Signal Bn., ( Sep.), New Britain.
" Twenty- two hours after we landed in Scotland, we were in France, which was fast going. In France we were constructing communications lines when saboteurs went into action against us. They sniped at us, chopped down wires and burned poles. They were a headache for a while but we rounded all of them up. Before going to the European theater, I was with a barrage balloon outfit in Panama for two years."
Whiting, Glenn B., Pfc, Div. Band, 101st Airborne Div., Forestville.
" The conditions on a British ship are the worst in the world. When we first went overseas, we were aboard ship 47 days and most of that time was on a British ship. The facilities for feeding on an English ship are definitely the worst I've seen anywhere. The big difference was noticed when we transferred to an American ship in Nova Scotia in Septem­ber
1943.
" In France the one thing I noticed most was the jealousy of the people against each other and against the people of other countries. They're always knocking the other person."
Wood, James E., Jr., T/ 4, 161st M. D. Bn., 5th Army, Norwich.
" After you've been over there you realize that nothing in Europe is any good and that the States have about everything. I had no exciting or outstanding experi­ences
over there, just good steady work, in supply, equipping men going back to duty. I was impressed by St. Peter's in Rome, and I saw the Pope three times." THE MEN ARE COMING HOME
Discharges under the point system began at Fort Devens, Mass., on May 12, 1945. The separation center was originally set up to discharge 300 men a day, but this figure was steadily in­creased.
By June 1 separations from the service were averaging 400 a day. By September 1, the daily average had climbed to 525. And by the end of September, there were over 800 enlisted men being discharged daily, along with 100 officers.
Brigadier General William C. Crane, commanding general, announced late in September that the new goal for daily
Fort Devens, September 21,191+ 5
Fort Devens, September 25, 19J+ 5
discharges was 1740. To help make up for the loss of hundreds of key personnel, the Army assigned an additional 820 trained workers— all young men with low point scores— to aid in the demobili­zation
program.
Between V- E Day and V- J Day, Fort Devens granted discharges to a total of more than 30,000 men. From V- J Day to October 1, there were more than 16,000 separations.
Two shifts of workers were handling discharges a total of 15 hours each day, including Sundays and holidays. In addition to processing the men being dis­charged,
these crews had the important task of assembling and correlating all records and papers for each man leaving the service.
Because of a backlog of eligible sepa­ratees,
men reporting at Devens were being given furloughs ranging from six to eleven days and more. On reporting back after completing these furloughs, they were ready to begin the processing routine. Once processing was actually underway, the soldier usually received his discharge papers and final pay within 48 hours.
Men being discharged are grouped in rosters of 45 each. A roster goes through the demobilization process as a single unit, the group living in the same barracks and attending lectures and other programs in a body. Assigned to each roster as a guide is a member of the permanent personnel of the post.
Arrival of the new personnel to aid in the demobilization program was expected to make possible a steady decrease in the size of the backlog. This would enable shortening of the pre- discharge furloughs and eventually their elimination in so STATE AIDS AND BENEFITS
The laws of the State of Connecticut provide for many forms of aid, benefits and preferences for veterans, and for their next of kin in varying degrees.
