	I enjoyed reading Ritchie Boy Werner Angress' memoir, "Witness to the Storm," about his growing up in Berlin in the 1930's, emigration to the United States and return to Europe as a soldier with the 82nd Airborne Division. RB Angress parachuted into France on D-Day with the 82nd Airborne Division (where over 50% of his Parachute Regiment was wounded), was captured and served as a prisoner of war, parachuted into Holland as part of Operation Market Garden, fought in the Battle of the Bulge, and helped liberate Camp Wobbelin, a sub-camp of the Neuengamme Concentration Camp.
