Private Green was convicted of the murder of Corporal Garrett and hanged on May 15, 1945, and he was buried in Oise-Aisne American Cemetery Plot E.

      Holy shit man

          Seems like most people desert or surrender at the first chance they get. Sometimes they just don’t get an opportunity to do that before they get to combat.
