PFC. Rolland Iverson "Waddy" Wilson
United States Army 157th Infantry Regiment
from:Boise, Idaho
I found a mention of the siege of Bundenthal in old letters from my dad Rolland Wilson to my grandparents, his parents. He said that all the guys were privates, and after the incident, they were were all promoted to Private 1st Class, and given a stripe. So my dad was there, too.
Wish I could find out more about it. I had never even heard of it before I read it in the letter. He did not give any real info, but his letters were being censored at that time. The Army lifted censorship by 27th of May 1945. If you have any further info about this, please write.
