minute, 1/2" color videotape of program by Dick Dean of station WFMZ in
Pennsylvania, broadcast in November-December 1990.
Kauffman described infantry arriving in halftracks for an assault on Grandmenil.
Under artillery fire they reached the town, where five tanks took positions and the
infantry found shelter in a basement. To extricate themselves, they called in artillery
fire on their own position. In the assault, a German tank round killed Lt. Millets and
Pvt. Lester Wertman. The infantry withdrew to a stone barn and left the town. A
colonel ordered a new attack, which succeeded against machine gun fire. The
videotape contains a mixture of World War II combat photographs and 1990 shots of
the locations described. In transitions, Belgians are giving directions and there are
scenes of American war memorials. Kauffman interviewed German veterans of the
Bulge. The tape includes an interview with Jack Kampf of the Third Parachute
Division, who said that there was no enthusiasm but a willingness to obey. He added
that the first time he thought Germany would lose the war was on 18 January 1945.
Kauffman stated that his war experiences 46 years ago were "invaluable."

Bill Barron, 32nd Armored Regiment, interview on September 11, 1992
Interviewer compares his visits to U.S.S. Arizona Memorial in Hawaii and Malmedy massacre site.
Eleven 32nd Armored Regiment men were shot there.
Barron tells his story.
Captured at 11 a.m., 17 December 1944 while on a reconnaissance mission. 1st Lt. Thomas
McDermott was in charge. Barron and Sgt. Anderson were chosen as two of three jeep
drivers as Germans proceeded toward American lines. Barron tended a wounded German
soldier. Germans took his shoes near St. Vith. Many 106th and 99th Division soldiers
captured. Held five days. Walked a long way to POW camp. Worked digging gun
emplacements at Falmmersheid. Broke a Red Cross box and took contents. Had no food
for five days. American master sergeants were "taken care of" after the war. Lost weight
to 110 pounds on 6' 1".
12 February 1945. Got to Stalag 4B between Leipzig and Dresden. Dehydrated. Lice.
Needed shots. Italian medics gave tetanus shots.
23 April 1945. Russians on horseback with sabers liberated us. On Monday, Russians arrived.
12,000 Russians, 10,000 British, 2,000 Americans. Germans left Friday. Russians kept
them 13 days. Walked 13 km to German town for six or seven days. Russians kept
Americans prisoners to get food allowance. Walked out toward Torgau. Eventually got
to Americans. Germans had vicious dogs in the compounds. Prisoners had BBC news.
Henri Rogister of Liege, Belgium asked about Malmedy.
I was in a lead vehicle that met German tanks. SS tanker killed a civilian kid on a motor bike.
Americans hit a German fuel vehicle with a mortar shell. Many Germans were killed. We
had to bury them. Gruesome. Buried Germans first and left the Americans. Resistance
at the American lines. Malmedy massacre occurred soon after capture.
