Into Germany with the 100th Infantry Division, first published in 1959 as MOS 1542: A Dramatic True Story of Combat in World War Two, is the fast-paced account of Sergeant (later Lieutenant) John Angier’s experiences as an infantryman in France and Germany. Included are vivid descriptions of the platoon’s battles and life at the front, as Angier’s platoon was at the frontline “for 175 consecutive days of hell,” losing 3 lieutenants and 38 men; only 5 of the original platoon remained at war’s end. For his service Angier received 13 decorations including the Combat Infantry Badge, Bronze Star with Cluster, Good Conduct Medal, Victory Medal, Occupation Germany Medal, Expert Infantryman Badge, American Defense Medal and National Security Medal. Angier passed away on March 29, 2005.
