Summary
Videotape testimony of Robert H., an American veteran of World War II. He discusses being drafted and sent to Germany in 1944; being wounded; reassignment to the Ninth Air Corps; working in the Second Air Disarmament Wing; starting a newspaper for the unit; and traveling to St. Ottilien Hospital, a hospital for concentration camp survivors and wounded Germans.
