An uncle was there, not a big talker about it later in life,but one day I accompanied my cousin & he to a military funeral of a friend who served with him. Later,, in the car ride back home out of the blue he said " the worst thing was when the Krauts adjusted their cannon shells to explode on the tree tops, not on the ground below. We were shredded like helpless pigs for the slaughter". Never said another word. Later my cousin told me that one of the 2 purple hearts his dad was awarded was when a large ragged tree limb pierced his boot & pinned his foot to the ground. Unc limped for the rest of his life.
