Whether it was fighting Rommel's fierce Afrika Korps, hitting the beaches of Normandy on D-Day, surviving the Battle of the Bulge or just being in the next room during the infamous "slapping incident" of Blood-n-Guts General George Patton, Donald Bennett experienced the fiery crucible of World War II and survived to tell about it.

Lindbergh, Patton, Bradley and Eisenhower are just names in a history book to most -- but to Don Bennett they were personal acquaintances. This is the story of famous moments in history from a man who was actually there.
