SELLEST OSAST

As a Jewish American, Murray Shapiro couldn’t wait to volunteer in WW 2.  He was well aware of the Nuremberg Laws and the racist treatment Jewish people received in Germany.  He lost his spot in officer school though because he objected to the racist views his Major Carvell held towards black people.  During the Battle of the Bulge, Shapiro would receive the Bronze Star for his actions organizing a rear guard and defending it until his outfit was able to withdraw.  In doing so, Shapiro was left completely surrounded behind enemy lines and had to make a harrowing journey back to his platoon.  From the Battle of the Bulge to the Colmar Pocket to the crossing of the Ludendorff Bridge at Remagen, this episode focuses on Murray Shapiro’s harrowing WW 2 experiences.
