My Dad did not say much about the war, but I think the most memorable line he stated was this:
He was a radio operator in the Tank Destroyers, operating in the wide open farm fields in Germany. But as a radio operator, they issued him a 30 cal carbine. I asked him what he did with that, and he replied "The first thing you did was trade the carbine for an M-1, with someone who did not need his any more".
My Grandpa said the same thing plus get the *f-word away from the machine gunners
