haha wow Shelby Foote was court martialed out of the army in WW2 for falsifying motor pool documents after stealing a jeep to visit his future ex-wife who left him for the Bockscar bombardier.

I think we may have a new candidate for Mt. Gipmore

D DAY Through German Eyes - The Hidden Story of June 6th 1944

Holger Eckhertz

Intense look of the fighting during and following D Day that follows several units taken from first hand accounts years after the war.

I read this during hurricane florence hours before my house flooded because it was a good "yeah this isn't so bad" comparison but... I think it's fake. All the stories are just a little too perfect and no one can find any record of any of the soldiers named.
