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 immortal names to the historic list of victories — New Georgia, Tunisia, Cassino, Anzio, Normandy, Ardennes Bulge, Hurtgen Forest, Leyte, Luzon, Ruhr Pocket, Apennines, Okinawa, 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 this 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
Military history for the most part is written by non- combatants and the " brass" from official records " edited" by commissioned officers. War memoirs, too, most frequently record the views and opinions of commissioned officers. Only on infrequent and exceptional occasions is war experience recorded by enlisted men, save for that by specialists or professionals. That combat looks different as between the foxhole and the regimental CP is universally agreed. These stories, without historical pretensions per se, may well be in fact unique source material for Connecticut history. These are enlisted men's stories in their own words and the GI substitutes therefor, reported as near verbatim as possible. — The Editor.
Aurora, Salvatore, S/ Sgt., Hq., Btry., 134th A. A. A. Gun Bn., 1st Army, New Haven.
" We were at Bullinge, Belgium, when the Bulge started but had to retreat to Weims because there was a threat that the Germans would overrun our positions and steal our guns. Shells were coming in day and night there and if we didn't pull out when we did we would have been captured. The conditions were miserable— no food, no mail, no sleep or warmth— nothing but sheer guts pulled us out of that. We made Weims with all our equipment but in three weeks we lost most of it and had to go back 31 miles to re- fit with men and new equipment. What we couldn't take back we destroyed so the Germans couldn't make use of our stuff. At times I didn't see how I could last much longer because the pace of the fighting was plenty hot."
Balsano, Angelo, Pfc, Btry. B., 132d A. A. A. Gun Bn., Bridgeport.
" I was a gunner with our outfit and though I never got hit I think that I attracted more 88 shells than any other man in the Army. Those things seemed to follow me around and no matter where I went those shells would come looking for me. One night on guard duty one of them hit nearby and a piece of shrapnel came so close to me that I felt it go by. I was glad when it was all over because I knew if it kept up that one of those 88s would come over and go to the sack with me some night."
Bush, Kenneth I., S/ Sgt., Co. B., 331st Inf., 83d Div., Bridgeport.
" Holding the bridgehead across the Elbe River for three days and nights with . shrapnel from the German shells hitting around us all of the time was about the worst that I had it at any time during the three campaigns we were in. Like every­body
else, I had lots of close calls during that time but I was luckier than a lot of them as I didn't get hit. The counter­attacks
of the Krauts at this place were really rugged too. We had another bad time at the Ardennes Forest but since everybody else who was there had the same experience, mine was no worse than any of theirs. Serving with the occupation troops after the war was an easy detail when compared with what we went through to earn it."
Cave, William T.. T/ 3, Hd. Co., 747th Amphi. Tank Bn., West Haven.
" The most outstanding thing in my mind is the day the war ended in Europe. I was in the town of Pierrefonds, France, when the formal announcement was made and everyone went wild. They started to shoot up the town and it was worth your life to be there. Every GI was wild with excitement and talk of home was the main topic of the day when you could make yourself audible above the shouts of the merrymakers."
Chekas, William C, Pfc, Co., L., 18th Inf., 1st Div., Bristol.
" Guess I was lucky not to be with the 1st Division in the earlier days but I saw
3
enough to satisfy me. I was taken from the 8th Air Force around the time of the Bulge and trained as an infantry reinforce­ment.
In the early spring of 1945 I joined the 1st Division in their dash across Germany. Some of the most fanatical opposition we ran into there was on May 5, 1945, when we were trying to take the town of Tresnitz. The Hitler Jugend was dug in around the town with machine guns and artillery and the new company CO we had took us the wrong way into town, across an open field. It cost us a lot of casualties before we cleaned them up."
Curto, Samuel V., Pfc, Btry. B., 400th A. A. A. Gun Bn., 9th Air Force, Stamford.
" Everything was kind of quiet in my battery and we didn't have any action to speak of. The German air corps was on the down grade and it never gave us the chance to get in some good hits on it. I remember pulling guard duty in Brussels because it was so easy. The people were more than willing to do what we told them and they never gave us any trouble. One thing good about Belgium I liked is that the place was so much cleaner than the other countries on the continent, but no matter how good a time or how well I liked it in Europe, it somehow doesn't seem to come up to par with the good old U. S."
Diliberto, Paul J., Pfc, Co. L., 327th Gl. Bn., Waterbury.
" We made a landing at Viegel, Holland, with the flak coming at us almost as thick as hail, but our glider was not hit and for most of us the luck held when we hit the ground. It was a lot different for me a short time after that landing though as the foxhole I was sharing with two other guys was hit direct by an 88. They were killed and I was wounded. I was evac­uated
to a first aid station and then sent to a hospital in England where I stayed
for the next 35 days. I rejoined the outfit at Rheims and went through to Bastogne with them where I ran into more trouble. There were 30 of us in a house one time when a bomb hit and the place went up in fire. Another guy and I charged right through those flames and got out but we were the only ones who lived to tell of it as the others were all killed when the bomb hit. Our whole division was isolated for seven days and nights at Bastogne but we managed to bold off eight German divisions until the 4th Armored broke through and helped us drive them off. A couple of days after that I hurt my leg and was again evacuated to the 204th General Hospital where I stayed until I came home."
Farrell, Robert G., Sgt., Co. F., 8th Inf., 4th Div., Stamford.
" Our platoon leader was one of the respected men in the regiment. He had made the initial D- day assault in Nor­mandy
with the 4th and had won a battle­field
commission at the end of August in Germany. He was my closest link with home because he was from Stamford too and although I had never known him be­fore
the war, he was the guy I always talked to about what it would be like to get home and what we would do when we got there. But it was only two weeks after he had won his bars, and a good platoon leader he was too, that he went on recon­naissance
for a new position and the officer ahead of him stepped on a mine. They were both killed. He was a great guy and a great loss."
Finley, Marshall D., Cpl, 26th Statis­tical
Cont. Unit, ( Sep.), Manchester.
" Most of my time overseas was spent in England placing stocks for the air force in the right sections of supply. It was mostly paper work. I stayed in England for 15 months before I went on the con-
4
tinent for three months. I liked France because of its historical background. One thing I noticed was that France wasn't as destroyed as Germany. The Germans don't have a sense of guilt for the war and the sooner we show them that they are the cause of the war the better they will understand our reasons for treating them as we do. It's interesting to read about the places I've been to in Europe in the newspapers. They seem more real to me than they did before I went over."
Fuchs, Andrew J., T/ 5, Co. A., 442d Sig. Const. Bn., 8th Army, Stratford.
" I participated in the invasions of New Guinea, the Philippines, Luzon, Leyte and the occupation of Honshu, Japan. Leyte was the worst by far, not for the action we had there but the scare we got when we heard the Japs were sending a landing party ashore. We went ashore on October 22 but met with very little resistance ex­cept
for the enemy planes but the few planes the Navy had took care of those. On October 25th we received word that a big Jap fleet was coming to the island and a short time later word was sent around that a landing force was on their way in. It turned out that the Navy had inter­cepted
the fleet further out and sent them back with their tails between their legs. That really had me scared though. Our unit received a citation for performance of duty at Leyte between October 22 and October 30, 1944."
Galipeau, Mitchell H., Pfc, Co B., 1261st Engr Bn., ( Sep.), Hartford.
" The nearest call I ever had was in London sweating out those buzz bombs. I was excavating with a huge power shovel an area where new buildings were going to be built in London. As I was working a buzz bomb landed in the next block and tipped the shovel over. I was pinned underneath it for about 15 minutes before
the men could rescue me and if it weren't for the soft ground I was on I would have been crushed to death. As it turned out I wasn't even scratched. I was scared from the shock of the blast and it took me some time to convince myself I was Okay. I developed a healthy respect for buzz bombs after that and when I heard one coming I dropped everything and ran to a shelter."
Gramlich, John W., Cpl, Co. G., 357th Inf., 90th Div., Greenwich.
" The fighting around Metz, France, gave the 90th plenty of trouble and gave me the Purple Heart. On the 3d of October 1944 we took a hill outside the city in the early morning and everything went well during the day while we dug in on top of the hill until around midnight when the Krauts pulled a counterattack with plenty of men and machine gun cover. They pushed us off half of the hill before they stopped and came back to knock us off the other half with heavy casualties on both sides. This is where I got mine from a mortar at four in the morning. I was taken back to the hopsital but I heard that the outfit took the hill back the same day."
Guilotte, Bernard E., Pfc, Btry. B., 39th F. A. Bn., 3rd Div., Norwich.
" At Anzio beachhead the Germans pulled a fierce counterattack on February 27, 1944, that started at 8 o'clock that night and continued for three days before they quit trying. They threw three crack infantry divisions at the 3d Division on a 1,000 yard front and at one time the Heinie dough feet were only 1,000 feet from our guns across the Mussolini Canal. From the time we started firing at the first assault at 8 P. M. until the first brief let- up at 11 the next morning we used 800 shells in our 105mm howitzers and we were packed in so close that the 155mm outfit behind us came close to shearing
6
off our house. On the third day we caught a hit in our ammo and had a hell of a job fighting the fire."
Gunn, Frank A., Pfc, 593d Amphi. Engr. Bn., 6th Army, West Hartford.
" We made five D- Days during the 26 months that we operated in the Pacific They were two in New Guinea and three in the Netherlands East Indies. The land­ing
at Noemfoor Island in the Indies was a bad one as we had to wade through the surf for about 200 yards to get in and those mortar shells were coming at us like machine gun bullets. Some of them landed very near to me but I managed to make it without being hit. When we landed we set up our machine guns and gave them back a little of what they greeted us with. I think that the landing at Wake Island was about the worst as when we hit the beach we were pinned down for quite a while under all kinds of fire. I think that the closest call I ever had was at Itape in New Guinea when our area was bombed at night and I came running out of my tent for my foxhole and then saw another guy beat me to it. I hit the ground when that first bomb landed about 50 yards away and stayed like that until that Jap left. That was one time I wished that I was faster on my feet than I am. We also made D- Day at Japan with the occupation troops. The next D- Day I will make will by the one at West Hartford and that will be today."
Judd. Harlan C., T/ 5, 26th Div., New Britain.
" The thing that gripes me is that after being injured in the fight for the town of Saarlautern in Germany we had to give it up because we didn't have enough men to defend it. My outfit took the town on February 12, 1945, and I was sent to take the houses along with some other men. We tried to be cautious and careful of
everything we picked up and wherever we stepped but one of the men standing near me stepped on a mine and off it went injuring my left leg and wounding a few of the other men around me. I was sent to a hospital in France and after two months there was sent back to the outfit where I received a job in the public relations office."
Kenneth, Richard B., Pfc, Btry. B., 111th F. A. Bn., 104th Div., Lebanon.
" During the first crossing of the Rhine I was out one time time trying to establish a communications line when some machine gun bullets came whizzing close to me and I hit a hole in a hurry. I was pinned down for some time and was really sweat­ing
that one out when the firing stopped. I decided to make a break for it but the second I started to run, the firing started all over again. I don't know how but I got out of that one all right. Later on our battalion was surrounded for almost two days, but we managed to get out of that one too. I served in the Rome- Arno campaign in Italy and the Rhineland in Germany, but had it lots tougher in Germany than in Italy."
Kobus, Theolbald, T/ 5, 11th Airborne Div., Danbury.
" Although I was in the paratroopers and have made four jumps, two in com­bat,
I think my worst experience was during the drive from Nasugbu to Manila. We landed at Nasugbu on the 31st of January ' 45 and were told that we were
Pictures at the right— George E. Allis of Meriden, veterans' booklet reporter, takes the last interview, from T/ 4 Casper L. Vollero, of New Haven. Both served in the 102d Infantry Division. More than 5,000 interviews were written for these booklets, by eight reporters, all of whom saw service.

to drive on to Manila and that half way between, about 15 miles away, we were to set up the command post. On February 2d we reached the spot where our CP was to be and after a short battle with the Nips we were able to push on. There was much sniping all along the way and six men in my company were killed in the drive as well as countless others in the division. The Japs seemed to be every­where,
in the trees, behind shrubbery and in the hills. On February 4th we reached Manila and I received the Bronze Star for my participation in the drive."
Maraschiello, Joseph, T/ 4, Btry. A., 371st F. A. Bn., 99th Div., Hartford.
" The outfit was moving about three times a day in February 1945 as we worked our way across the Cologne Plain toward the city of Cologne, and at one point our forward OP called back for fire on a barn in which they knew a big Tiger Royal was hiding. The numbers two and three guns of our 105- mm howitzer battery fired and hit that barn with six rounds and waited for the results. Our forward observer said he saw the shells hit, the barn break out in fire all over and come down, but in a few minutes that big bastard just rolled out and drove away."
McCoy, Frank J., S/ Sgt., Med Det., 97th Sig. Bn., XVI Corps, 9th Army, Milford.
" We were sitting in the wrong place when the Germans broke through the Ardennes in December 1944 and we were given an hour and a half to bring in our communications lines and pack and get the hell out. While we were packing the Heinies strafed the buildings we were quartered in and that only made us pack faster. We moved by truck north to Hol­land
but by the next day they moved us back to a position in Belgium where we really got some work setting up com­munications
and maintaining them be­tween
the divisions in on the Bulge and the Corps CP."
Olszowy, Jacob J., S/ Sgt., 6th Emerg. Rescue Sq., 5th Air Force, Hartford.
" The outstanding thing in my mind about the war was the report we received back at our base about an AO- 10 plane, similar to the Navy PBY, that had crashed on a Jap- held island. They had been on a patrol mission at the time and for some unknown reason were forced to land on this island. We had the under­ground
guerrilla army at the island try to find out what they could about the men and after a short while word was received that the men were all tortured and their burnt bodies were found in a cave. I vowed right then and there that if I should become captured I would put an end to myself before they had the chance to torture me. Fortunately I never came too near the enemy but I think I would have been mighty scared if I had. I took a few local flights to big cities near the airport where we were located but that's the only flying I did."
Ortyl, Stanley J., Pfc, 2006th Ord. Maint. Co., 8th Air Force, Rockville.
" I was stationed at an air field near Coventry in England and aside from the occasional buzz bomb raids had a fairly easy time of it. Every time the bombs started coming over I would go to bed and cover my head with my blanket. The English women are pretty nice but don't compare with our American gals. It feels good to be back where I can see these lovely specimens of womanhood again after two and a half years in England."
Osipa, Michael W., Pfc, Co. B., 188th Combt. Engr. Bn., XII Corps, New Britain
" Just before the Bulge I joined the 26th Division as an infantry- rifleman in Metz. I lasted only two weeks with them be­cause
as we attacked a strong point in Metz a bullet got me in the leg. I crawled to a foxhole and stayed there two hours before medics could reach me and take me back. When I first looked at my wound I was sure I'd never walk again because my left leg looked and felt shattered. I was flown to England and spent four months in a hospital before I was put on light duty with a limited service group. Bight now I'm as good as new again and I never thought it possible. I hope the fear that griped me when I got hit will never have a chance to show up again because I doubt if I could take it once more."
Parks, Gordon E., Pfc, 763d F. A. Bn., XXIII Corps, Bridgeport.
" Shortly after we landed at LeHavre, we went to Camp Lucky Strike which sounds like a pretty good deal but wasn't. They should have called that place Camp Starvation as that is what it was. I really starved for a whole week. It even got so bad that both officers and enlisted men were picking through piles of old oranges trying to get some that were fit to eat. I was glad to get away from that place. I went from there to Trier, Germany, where I got a job guarding PWs and try­ing
to keep the Russian displaced persons from getting out and robbing the Germans blind. I was in the Army for five years and four months which was about five years too long."
Pendleton, Walter V., Pfc, Co. K., 119th Inf., 30th Div., New Haven.
" On April 6,1945, we captured the town of Elz in Germany with very little resis­tance
from the Germans. When we first arrived at the town 185 Jerries surrendered without putting up a scrap. I was sent out to clean up the houses and was having an easy time of it until that evening while I was walking down the street and about to enter a house, a machine gun opened fire on me from across the street. That was the only shot fired that night and I had to be on the receiving end of the bullets. I tried to duck but was not fast enough and caught a bullet in the right chest and one in the left leg. A tank took over and put an end to the machine gunner. I was evacuated to a hospital in Toul, France, where I received the Purple Heart. I was the only man hurt in taking the town."
Quattrocchi, Virgil F., Pvt., Co A., 303d Inf., 97th Div., Danbury.
" The army needed riflemen more than camera technicians after the Ardennes breakthrough so I was pulled out of my
10
group in the 9th Air Force in February 1945 for Infantry training. In April I was sent out to join the 97th Division which had just finished cleaning up the Ruhr Pocket and was racing for Czechoslo­vakia.
It wasn't at all what I had expected, although of course, the worst was over and this was a field day for the veterans. We just kept marching and riding all day and when we came to a town there would be a brief exchange of shots and it was taken. It was like that until V- E Day when we found ourselves in Czechoslo­vakia,
about 40 miles west of Pilsen."
Ricigliano, Joseph, Pvt., 902d Air Engr. Sq., ( Sep.), 9th Air Force, New Haven.
" One of our own planes blew up on our airstrip in England and it seemed as if a hundred bombs had landed on us. It was a P- 47 which accidentally caught fire and exploded the tanks. I was running for a crash- wagon when it blew up about 600 yards away from me. A piece of the plane caught me in the right wrist but I didn't feel it. I got the wagon and we put out the fire by the use of foamite. I noticed the blood after that. It was just a bad cut and the medics treated me for a few days until it healed. Most of the time I served with the crash- wagon on our airstrip but I was glad that I didn't have too much to do because if I had a lot to do, it meant that many of our own planes were crash­ing.
The thing I'm glad to see is that the United States didn't suffer the destruction England and the other countries did."
Riffon, Andrew, T/ 5, 2006th Ord. Maint. Co., 8th Air Force, Bridgeport.
" I am quite fortunate in not having seen any action although I spent two and a half years overseas but I think this booklet is a great idea. I was in England all the time and had no excitement that I would care to talk about or for that matter any­thing
worth talking about, but I know
that the boys who were at the Bulge and other places, where there was action would appreciate this booklet as things escape one's mind after a while and this book with their stories in it will refresh their memories."
Rubino, Anthony, Pfc, 708th Amphi. Tank Bn., ( Sep.), New Haven.
" We were attached to the 4th Marine Division for the assault on Saipan and we made the beach just ten minutes before they got in. In that length of time we lost 34 tanks and suffered 235 casual­ties.
That's a lot to happen in ten minutes but that was the way it was. I guess that assault was about the worst we ever made, though we made the ones at Leyte and Okinawa. Leyte was a lulu, too, as we were exposed to all kinds of fire from the ground and air. At Ie Shima a Jap charged our tank one morning at five o'clock. We were out in the open and this guy came running right at us and before we stopped him we had fired 135 rounds of ammo at him. He dropped about two feet from the tank and when we examined him we found that he was carrying a satchel charge with which he had hoped to knock out our tank. He was also as full of holes as a sieve. I guess that he must have been pretty well hopped up to make that try. I'm no big rooter for the Army, but they gave me a plane trip from Los Angeles to Boston this week and got me home a lot earlier so I've no bitch coming."
Santucci, Anthony P., Pfc, Btry. C, 387th A. A. A. Bn., 5th Armd. Div., Waterbury.
" During the assault on the Siegfried Line at Wallendorf, we went up a hill one day with the halftrack on which I was cannoneer and ran into a German 20mm gun position which we knocked out in a hurry and then got the hell out of there. We were just on a reconnoitering mission
11
that time, but we managed to do that job and knock off a lot of Krauts besides. It took us seven days and nights to get through the line, but it was finally done though the Germans put up a hell of a fight to keep us from doing it. We had a lot of close misses on our halftrack during those seven days, and I'm glad they weren't hits as the misses are bad enough."
Scire, Philip A., Cpl., Co. C, 475th Inf. ( Sep.), South Norwalk.
" Although we marched over 700 miles through the jungles and mountains of Burma and had trouble with the Japs almost all through it, the closest call I ever had did not come on that march but at an airfield at Loikan. I was out picking up rations that time when all of a sudden the Japs started to shell the strip and the first thing I knew was that a piece of shrapnel hit about two feet from me. Finding cover was the hardest thing I ever did and I almost got hit a dozen times before I found a place to hole up. An­other
time at Loikan there were three of us on outpost and some Japs who were trying to sneak through the lines fired direct at us, but we got in the foxholes and kept them off until help came. We fought under the name of Mars Task Force which was the original Merrill's Marauders. When we got the Burma Boad opened, we went with the Chinese 5th Army as in­structors
for their trooops. I stayed in Shanghai after V- J Day until the time I came home to the States."
Steinberg, Samuel, Cpl, 42d Sq., 352d Ftr. Grp., 8th Air Force, Hartford.
" Ours was the only squadron to receive the Presidential Citation during the war. It happened on New Years Day ' 45 when a flight of planes were just about to take off to intercept a flight of German planes that were coming our way blasting every airfield in sight. The group commander,
Colonel Meyers, was at the head of his squadron on the field and just as he took off, the Krauts came over. Before he had his wheels off the ground he accounted for two planes and that put the men in the best of spirits. Most of the planes got off Okay and took a toll of the German planes scaring the rest back to their home base. Major Perry, who had 32 planes to his credit, was shot down by our own ack­ack
on the takeoff. We were officially credited with saving the Belgium airport where the action had taken place."
Timko, Joseph J., T/ 5, Btry. A., A. W. Bn., 465th A. A. A., 94th Div., 3d Army, Wallingford.
" The 3d Army went into action first at Avranches, France, and that was where we had three of our toughest days. We had just pulled into position on the 3d of August near Avranches to protect the ground troops that were closing the pin­cers
of the Falaise Pocket, against the Luftwaffe planes that were bombing, dive- bombing, and strafing our troops and positions in an effort to hold while their trapped army escaped. We didn't even have time to put up revetments because those Heinies were coming in from all sides singly and in small groups, all night and most of the day, and we were burning up our 37mm and 50 cal. machine- guns on them. In nine days our brigade brought down 97 planes and got a commendation from General Patton."
Torok, Frank, T/ 4, Hq. Btry., 134th A. A. A. Gun Bn., 1st Army, Bridgeport.
" At Weims, Belgium, we were forced to change from an ackack outfit to a tank destroyer unit because it was during the Bulge and tanks were giving us more trouble than planes. I was unloading ammo off a truck there and a shell landed a few feet from me and didn't explode. If it exploded it would have blown the am-
12
mo and me to hell. On one trip from Weims to Malmedy for ammo the road we had to go on was covered by German machine guns and we lost one truck and
three men on the way. The return trip with ammo was easy because we went on a road that was clear. It's something to talk about now, then I didn't think I'd live."
