Скачать или смотреть Digging A Foxhole On a FROZEN Battleground

PFC Vincent Speranza describes what it was like to dig foxholes during the Battle of the Bulge. Speranza was a Paratrooper and a legend in the military community, and he passed away last August. Not only did he serve our nation among the Greatest Generation in WWII, but he was an inspirational figure to many for a long time afterward. It's hard to hear "Blood on the Risers" without thinking of him singing it.

Things like digging foxholes over and over can be classic eye-rolling experiences for service members in training, but these guys were in the midst of one of the most intense wars the world has ever seen. Losing a few hours of energy in that kind of cold is a whole battle on its own, let alone the actual firefights and barrages of indirect fire these men faced.
