Notes :
In a series of gripping stories the reader accompanies American infantrymen from the invasion of Sicily to final victory in Germany. The focus throughout is personal. The reader shares moments of fear, daring, grief and humor - the very human experiences of young men at war. Interwoven with the stories the author addresses the ultimate enigma of World War II. How did Adolf Hitler brainwash 62 million Germans into accepting Nazi ideology and its inevitable consequences? Detailed accounts of the endurance of young GIs during the Battle of the Bulge precede their horrific discovery of the Dachau Concentration Camp. The GIs' shocked and angry reactions and the subsequent shooting of SS Concentration Camp guards are vividly recreated from numerous interviews with men who were there. Of special interest will be the chapters devoted to the minority groups in the US Army in World War II, namely, Native Americans, African Americans, Japanese Americans and members of the Jewish faith. How these minority groups contributed to final victory in World War II will be special pride to all Americans. The Day the Thunderbird Cried is a must read for all who believe that "those who can't remember the past are doomed to repeat it."
