    Age 84, 1n December of 1944 I was a 20 year old 2nd. Lt., Anti-Tank Company, 422nd. Infantry, fighting in the Battle of the Bulge. I just posted a What-If question on the WWII Europe Forum. Please look at it and give me your comments. Looking forward to your thoughts. SirSwindon.

    And yes, in Wessex Wyvern's posting (below) --- at age 84 --- I am the oldest owner-driver of a Lotus.

    Good to meet you, Sir Swindon.

    Could you tell us of your expieriences. It seems to me that the 106th has gotten a raw deal as history has been written.

    Were you one of the ones from the 422nd to get out of the Schnee Eiffel?

    Edit...I just read your What If (which I moved to the What If section of the forum for you) and saw where you said you were wounded and captured.
