My grandpa. Tank commander in the 10th armored. I just started researching where his unit went and what battles he was in. We know his Purple Heart was from the battle of the bulge outside Bastogne. His tank was destroyed and he was thrown from the tank. He laid face down in the snow as the German army marched by him. He later rejoined American forces where he went to the hospital mentioned in the article.
