    Great photo BC.
    I don't know who he is but, Is he missing his right arm or is it the photo?

    ps. I just read about the battle of Schmidt or know to the Germans as Allerseelenschlacht (‘All Souls’ Day Battle’)
    Still not sure about the Gent in the pic.

    During the attack on the village of Kommerscheidt and Schmidt by the 112th Infantry Rgt of the 28th Infantry Division in November 1944 it was then 1lt Ray Fleig and his Sherman tanks that made the tricking journey down the Kall trail over the stream and up towards Kommerscheidt in support of the infantry. Fleigs tanks then we're in action against Panthers when the Germans made their counter attack.

    Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
    Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
    Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
    Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
    We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
    But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader
