Frontline ~World War II~ Personal Accounts of Wisconsin Veterans
By: John Maino
It was the dawn of a new decade and optimism was in the air.
While young adults in Europe & Asia braced for war, Wisconsinites attended Packer games, lined up for the latest Hollywood release, and strolled their local auto dealerships dreaming of the day they could buy their first car.
Few, if any expected the turmoil taking place a half-world away to affect their future plans. They were wrong.
Frontlines tells their story; from leaving home, (often with thoughts of adventure and excitement in their heads) through the tragic and gruesome reality of war, the sweet feeling of coming home and the often haunting memories which linger to this day.
It's World War II as experienced by your fathers, grandfathers, uncles and neighbors.
