His story: On December 30, 1944, S/Sgt Alexander’s tank disappeared in weird fashion that day and nothing was known of the fate of the crew until reports began to trickle in months later. S/Sgt Alexander, affectionately known as “Alex” to the entire company, was reported to have had part of a leg amputated in a German prison camp. The horrors of these camps were made known to us in a letter we received from Pvt Ivan Goldstein, the bowgunner of that tank. He told us of the atrocities that he, Tec4 Andrew Urda, Pfc Hebert and Cpl Peterman, all members of that crew, were subject to in the German concentration camps.
