In this riveting interview, he describes the invasion of Normandy, Operation Market Garden and the Battle of the Bulge. &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; A full transcript of the interview can be found at tankbooks.com &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; The audio is included in the 11-hour audiobook &quot;The D-Day Tapes&quot; available at Oralhistoryaudiobooks.com and on eBay. &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; As this interview is broken into three episodes, it is not necessary but is recommended that you listen to the three sections in order. &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; War As My Father's Tank Battalion Knew It is a podcast about the 712th Tank Battalion in particular and World War II in general. Thank you for listening. I'm Aaron Elson.
