There were those who doubted whether National Guard Units could hold up like regular U.S. Army units in wartime. Routinely assigned missions where the odds were stacked heavily against them, the 175th Regiment-29th Infantry Division not only silenced the doubters, they went on to gain a reputation as one of the fiercest fighting units of World War II. This is the story of one infantryman of the 175th-Forest S. Birch-as told to the author, his son, John F. Birch-over a period of many years, culminating in a recorded interview, made on June 6, 1994 (50th anniversary of the D-Day beach landings). The transcript of the interview is included. Forest Birch's story is personal and intimate-and brings to light experiences shared by many who served during World War II. Birch had more than his fair share of good fortune but never forgot the horrors he witnessed, nor the fear he felt, from the first wave of beach landings until the ultimate surrender of the Nazi war machine in April,1945 which saw his unit just 40 miles outside Berlin.
