Purple Heart group to a Massacre at Oran, Nov 8, 1942 - 1st Arm. Div.

Bringing this back up

[Nic]

I wanted to bump Kurt's outstanding grouping with a letter I recently picked up. This letter was mailed home by PFC Pies, Company G, 6th Armored Infantry while he was training in Ireland before Operation Reservist. PFC Pies would be killed in action during the attack on November 8th, along with Lt. Browning who censored the mail.

I believe Gen. Eisenhower was in overall HQ command of that mission.
