Скачать или смотреть NVHA – Pfc. Ted Vinson – Army – WW II – 02-0027

@NVHArchive – Pfc. Theodore Vinson served in an Army Intelligence and Reconnaissance platoon in Europe during World War II. As such Ted had the privilege of being missed by an inch by a German sniper, strafed by a German fighter while he was in a convoy, shelled by a German railroad gun, and by the Russian artillery. Along the way, Ted earned a Silver Star and passed through Buchenwald. That was a sobering sight. At the end of the war he led a convoy of fully armed yet smiling Germans to their surrender. Ted was a local historian so his stories are full of color and detail. At work I knew Ted as a man of character and sometimes a bit of a character. Through this Ted’s daughter will get to spend some time with her daddy again and that pleases me very much.
