Two months prior to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Henley, Mo., resident Norbert Gerling received his draft notice and became a soldier in the U.S. Army. Though inducted for a 1-year term, Pearl Harbor changed everything, thus compelling him to remain in the service for the duration of the war. This book chronicles Gerling’s assignment to Company C, 609th Tank Destroyer Battalion and describes his experiences while traveling 1,200 miles across the battered European landscape as a gunner aboard an M-18 Hellcat Tank Destroyer.
