Herbert Henry Miller 120th Company H 30th Infantry Division My father Herbert Henry Miller was born and raised in Wheeling WV. He was drafted to serve in the US Army. He belonged to the 30th Infantry Division, 120th Company H. This division fought and survived some of the most horrific battles in St LO, and Operation Cobra and the Battle of Mortain. The Nazi Germans captured him on August 6, 1944, at Mortain, France. From there, he was marched 1,325 km across Europe to Stalag VIIA, Moosburg - which was located north of Munich Germany. Based of actual events, research and personal accounts, I have successfully uncovered a rich story that will certainly be of interest to every reader. What is even more unique, our Dad kept a detailed written journal of his POW experience cleverly hidden in the dirt floor of his Loft away from the Nazi guards and it was never discovered.
In 2008 I travelled and walked in his footsteps in England, France and Germany and captured recent photographs and interviews. I have also obtained original, never before published war photographs for the families who still live in Mortain, France that will be displayed in this book.
Scheduled for release in the second quarter of 2009, “White Picket Fences” is the remarkable story of my father and his World War II war experience.
The goal of this picture-based book is to uncover and assemble the history of my father’s war with my two sons, and to create a book that is compelling and interesting. We want to pass this story on to our family and friends and general public, so they can understand what a tremendous person my dad really was and draw more attention to the millions of veterans who gave up so much to keep the world free. The stories alone from 30th Infantry will astound most readers for they indeed were all heroes.
If anyone wants to contact me about the upcoming book or to discuss Stalag VIIA, please email me.
