UNKNOWN SOLDIERS: Reliving WWII in Europe

Our observation posts just behind the front line offered enemy gunners easy targets ranging from our Sherman tank (nigh useless against the German armor) to a clump of five tempting farm structures already under fire, to a guy peering over a haystack while his buddies loiter in more or less plain view, to a shell hole for catching a glimpse of our enemies until the next round brings what’s left of the building down around our ears.
