I have my doubts about this story.
Rescued from a concentration camp near Belgium at the end of 1944? Which camp would that be ?
"From here, he connected with the 11th AD and learned to speak English from the soldiers." ???
And then the 11th AD just let this 15 year old boy fight alongside of them? Very questionable !
According to wiki, "the 11th AD landed in Normandy on 16 December 1944. The division landed in Normandy, 16 December 1944, assigned to contain the enemy in the Lorient Pocket, but the Von Rundstedt offensive resulted in a forced march to the Meuse and the defense of a 30-mile sector from Givet to Sedan, 23 December. Launching an attack from Neufchâteau, Belgium, 30 December, the 11th defended the highway to Bastogne against fierce assault."
So, it seems the infamous 11th AD only came to the frontline at the end of 1944, defended a sector and then counterattacked into the Ardennes. What concentration camp are they supposed to have liberated? And how fast did that guy learn English? A week?
