A Kid from Pittsburgh by Marion Rosen
With Morris Rosen

I first conceived the idea for a biography about my husband’s early years from age 13 to20 while touring Europe in 1994 for the 50th anniversary of D-Day. For this journey, World War II veterans from the U.S. Army’s Third Division traveled over the same paths they’d covered 50 years earlier in 1944 while struggling to take back territory seized by Hitler.
By witnessing the incredible obstacles our troops had to overcome first-hand, I instinctively understood that these men had gone through much more than the history books have reported. My husband, Morris Rosen, usually chose to talk about only a few incidents that were, at times, hilariously funny, but I wanted to delve deeper. I talked to the veterans and chronicled their stories. I especially wanted to know more about the almost-unbelievable events that still caused my husband and the rest of the men to grow teary-eyed so many years later.
As I learned the unadulterated story of the war from a private’s perspective, I also came to understand the heartbreak of a mere boy who’d run away from a wretched home life to go off to war at 17.
War is never an easy topic to grasp, but A KID FROM PITTSBURGH is sensitive yet out-spoken. Rowdy, yet gentle. Brutal circumstances are made comprehensible. War is interpreted by a kid who grew up without even realizing it.

Comments about A KID FROM PITTSBURGH:

“Marion Rosen’s biography on husband, WWII hero Morris Rosen in her A KID FROM PITTSBURGH is a story that no Hollywood screenwriter could create. This is a must read for everyone.”
Roger Corman, Award winning filmmaker

“While Audie Murphy is perhaps the most renowned WWII hero it would be hard not to include Morris Rosen as someone high up on this list. Corporal Rosen was an amazing young man who performed miracles during WWII in putting his life on the line in the most dangerous situations imaginable.”
Edward Janke, Retired U.S. Army Colonel

"THE KID FROM PITTSBURGH is a book I just couldn’t put down. Marion Rosen’s biography on her husband is a slam dunk."
Bob Cousy, Hall of Fame basketball legend

Howitzers, Grasshoppers, and the Holy Right Hand (Paperback)
by John Niesel (Author)

When he enlisted in the United States Army Artillery six months prior to the attack on Pearl Harbor, Harold Brown couldn't possibly have known what fate had in store for him. Traveling from the high plains of Colorado to the battlefields of Europe, Harold experienced the war as many American GI's did, enduring its trials and horrors, hoping for the day when he could finally come home. Unlike most GI's in World War II however, Harold would have the opportunity to touch history, and in doing so, he would play a part in the recovery of the most important national symbols of Hungary: the Holy Right Hand and the Crown of St. Stephen. Illustrated with over 160 relevant photographs, and printed in an easy-to-read format, Harold's recounting of his service covers many of the major battles in the ETO. Harold was awarded the Air Medal and the Bronze Star for his service, and it is an honor to share his story with you.

    Takedown: The 3rd Infantry Division's Twenty-One Day Assault on Baghdad (Hardcover)
    by Jim Lacey (Author)


    This is easily the most interesting account of the invasion of Iraq yet written and it covers not only the American perspective on the fighting, but also the Iraqi's viewpoint (based on interviews with Iraqi generals). Virtually every other history I have read has totally overlooks the contribution the 3rd Infantry Division made to the fight and until now they were in danger of being the forgotten piece of the war. This is a bit surprising since the 3rd ID did most of the fighting on the march up - far surpassing the amount of contact the Marines faced (though their performance was also spectacular).
    No matter what you may think of the right or wrong of our involvement in Iraq or what has happened since the invasion, there is no doubt that the actual assault from Kuwait to Baghdad was brilliantly executed and deserves to be recorded as one of the greatest military operations in American history. Takedown tell this story in magnificent fashion and captures this often harrowing fight in incredible detail. I walked away from it with a new respect for the American soldier and our Army.... A great read that I recommend to all!

    Hitler's Mountain:
    The Fuhrer, the Obersalzberg And the American Occupation of Berchtesgaden (Hardcover)
    by Arthur H. Mitchell (Author)
     

    Adolf Hitler owed his success to his remarkable ability to capture the hearts of the German people. That ability was largely due to his skill at creating a public persona, not only as a man of determination and effectiveness, but as a visionary and prophet. To develop the latter image he associated himself with the Bavarian Alps, where his retreat in Obersalzberg became almost a magical cave from which he was able, with a wave of his wand, to manipulate public opinion. This work examines the political events that took place in Obersalzberg from the 1920s until the U.S. Army returned control of the area to the German government in 1995. Concentrating primarily on the years during which Hitler was in residence, it discusses the geography, history and climate of Berchtesgaden (a town located in the Bavarian Alps and home to Obersalzberg) as well as Hitler's original acquaintance with the area. In a wider scope, however, the work focuses on the symbolism of identity and public perception as it relates to the place, setting and lifestyle of political figures. Such symbolism was especially important for Hitler as he deliberately and ruthlessly perfected his public image in his quest for control of the German government. The closing chapter follows Berchtesgaden through its military occupation after the Nazi defeat in 1945.

    I have recently come across some pictures of a quartermaster company and have posted them to our site -

    http://www.files.trailblazersww2.org/division_photos_page67.htm

    Based on the information I have this is not the 70th QM Company - but of another group of guys who were perhaps transferred to the 70th prior to shipment home - names that I have are Capt. G.W. Reeder, George Dixon, Royce Knapp, Mel Pederson, Michael Rubel.
    By any chance do any of these name come up on any rosters you may have in your possession?
    Thank you for your time.

    Authorhouse Bookstore Direct Link to "Traveling Through W.W.II"
    http://www.authorhouse.com/BookStore/ItemDetail~bookid~45509.aspx

    This is not a chronicle of a brave and heroic soldier who rose several ranks to Captain or Colonel or Major, although he received a simple PFC to T-5 promotion along the way with a bunch of ‘other ‘guys’. This was an ordinary American boy, raised in a devout Catholic family by parents with strict principles, who was caught up in the conditions of a U.S. World War into which he was hurled as a teenager.
        All at once, he was clad in khaki and sent here and there on the European battlefields.  He was taking orders alongside his Army comrades, and serving  his time as prescribed by U.S. Army guidelines. It is not a profound look at the lofty pursuits of a hero, but the necessary obligations of Private Arthur B. Pranger. There are narratives and exhibits included but primarily this volume reflects ‘Art’s’ personal ‘spin’  on this memorable period in history - 2 Years - 2 Months and 29 Days with A Company, 86th Chemical Mortar Battalion.
        The 86th CMB was an integral part of the war across Europe. The battalion's role with the 4.2. Mortar included being attached to a few dozen INFANTRY Regiments and Divisions across Europe - through Normandy,  Northern France - Belgium “Battle of the Bulge - Hurtgen Forest,” points in Germany - winding up in Czechoslovakia in 1945 leaving all this drama behind at Camp Campbell Kentucky to return to civilian life on November 6, 1945. This work includes humorous incidents - not usually associated with the serious business of warfare.

    First to the Rhine:
    The 6th Army Group in World War II (Hardcover)
    by Harry Yeide (Author), Mark Stout (Author)

    This is the story of the Allied forces--the U.S. 6th Army Group and French 1st Army--that landed in southern France on August 15th, 1944.
    The book follows the action from the French beaches to the Vosges Mountains, where the first Allied penetration along the entire Western front reached the Rhine River. First to the Rhine covers the vicious fighting during the German Nordwind counteroffensive in January 1945
    and the French-American offensive to clear the Colmar Pocket. It then pursues the forces of the Third Reich across the Rhine to their ultimate destruction.
     
    Unlike the forces landing in Normandy, these American divisions were hard-bitten veterans of the war in Italy, and, in the case of the 3d Infantry Division, North Africa. The French units included many veterans of the Italian campaign and comprised Frenchmen and Africans in almost equal numbers. As the campaign went on, the French ranks were swelled by tens of thousands of Free French Forces of the Interior, the famous maquis. The German forces arrayed against the Allies included the famed 11th Panzer Division, an Eastern front veteran known as the “Ghost Division,” which would hit the Allied advance time and again only to slip away before it could be pinned and destroyed.
     
    This is the harrowing story First to the Rhine tells, from the strategic plane-down through the corps, division, and regimental levels to the personal experience of the men in combat, including the likes of Audie Murphy, America’s most decorated infantryman of the war.  The book features little-known battles, including one at Montelimar, when an ad hoc American armored command and the 36th Infantry Division came within a hair’s breadth and several days of hard fighting of cutting off the entire German 19th Army. This is the first popular work in
    English to explore the French role in the fighting and the relationship between the U.S. Army and the French forces fighting under American command.
     
    "First to the Rhine draws heavily on official American and French after-action reports, other contemporary combat records such as highly detailed S-3 and G-3 journals, and interviews conducted by the Army with soldiers shortly after the actions occurred. It also features personal recollections written by key commanders in American, French, and German ranks, as well as illustrations from official U.S. Army photographers and filmmakers.

    Authors Harry Yeide and Mark Stout draw heavily on official American and French after-action reports, other contemporary combat records such as highly detailed S-3 and G-3 operations journals, and interviews conducted by the U.S. Army with soldiers shortly after the actions
    occurred. Also used are personal recollections written by key commanders in American, French, and German ranks. Illustrations come from official U.S. Army photographs and film. The result is the first popular English-language history that explores the French role in the fighting and the relationship between the U.S. Army and the French
    forces that fought under American command—and at times also controlled American divisions.

     

    Act 2: WWII
    The Adventures of Bruce Monkman
    1941-1945

    A sheltered, naive, and undereducated young man, with few prospects and from a sleepy small town in southern California, had eye opening experiences entering the U.S. Army at the age of 20 in 1941. He served as a Battalion supply technician in the 3rd Infantry Division through the war until the ripe old age of 24 in 1945.

    This adventure took him from California across the United States, to North Africa and into Europe, including the Anzio landing. He wasn't on the front lines thus this is not a war story of battles and generals although there are battles to recount and Patton does make an appearance. This is the story of a regular guy in a most irregular situation, whose tales clearly illustrate the daily reality of wartime in World War Two.

    Bruce Monkman lives in Los Angeles, California, with his wife, Nancy. Since retiring from the Union Pacific Railroad, he spends his time gardening, visiting with friends, attending Army reunions, and writing his memoirs.

    Under the Wire : The World War II Adventures of a
    Legendary Escape Artist and "Cooler King"
    (Hardcover)
    by William Ash, Brendan Foley

    I'm a London-based author and spent the last few years helping one of North America's greatest unsung heroes of WWII, William Ash, put together his wartime autobiography UNDER THE WIRE, which has just been published in USA and Canada.

    Bill, who just celebrated his 88th birthday, is probably the greatest living US prisoner of war escape-artist of WWII. Born in Texas, he joined the RCAF in 1940 and flew Spitfires until shot down in 1942. He then became a serial escape artist, attempting 13 PoW-camp escapes - cutting through the barbed wire, climbing over it, or tunneling under it before finally escaping for good.

    When the book came out in the UK a few months ago, it became an instant best-seller, but somehow it has been almost completely ignored so far by the media in North America. The only thing we can do to get Bill and his book the recognition they deserve in the US and Canada is to turn to the internet and people who care about WWII and the people who fought it for us. So I would be very grateful if you would forward this note to anyone who you think might like the book or help to spread the word that it is out there, available at most good bookshops or online at Amazon.

    The Mortarmen
    by Michael Connelly

    http://www.trafford.com/04-2710

    290 pages; quality trade paperback (softcover); catalogue #04-2710; ISBN 1-4120-4902-4; US$24.95, C$31.00, EUR20.15, £13.96

    A heroic and heretofore untold story of the men of the 87th Chemical Mortar Battalion and their 326 days of combat in Europe during World War II.

     I thought you might find this of interest. I have written a book, that has recently been released, about my father's WW II unit, the 87th Chemical Mortar Battalion. One of the Chapters, "The Final Push" deals with the battalion's support of the 3rd ID in March of 1945 as the division attacked toward the Siegfried line.

    FROM THE PUBLISHER
    "During the Iraq War, Capt. Jason Conroy commanded the tankers of Charlie Company. Charlie Company was part of Task Force 1-64 of the 2nd Brigade Combat Team, an element of the U.S. Army's 3rd Infantry Division. Equipped with mammoth M1A1 Abrams tanks, Conroy's company was at the tip of the U.S. Army's spear and one of the first elements into Baghdad." "Veteran journalist Ron Martz was embedded in Charlie Company. Together, from the unique perspective of an armor unit that was in nearly continuous combat for four straight weeks, Conroy and coauthor Martz tell the unvarnished story of what went right in Iraq - and what went deadly wrong. Conroy and his soldiers were able to overcome supply shortages, intelligence failures, and miserable weather to battle their way into downtown Baghdad, a place where they had been told they would never have to fight. Heavy Metal evaluates the Army's performance, including its use of tactics for which the soldiers had never trained." Through the personal stories of the young troopers of Charlie Company - who experienced a very different war from what was seen back home on TV - Heavy Metal tells us much about the qualities of today's American soldier, about twenty-first-century desert and urban warfare, and about how the Army should prepare to fight. Not simply a day-to-day memoir, it teaches vital lessons for future combat.

     

    CUSTOMER REVIEWS

    Christopher Freeman  (  cafreeman@valdosta.edu  ), A reviewer, February 14, 2005,
    The Real Deal 
    My company commander, CPT Jason Conroy, and our embedded reporter Ron Martz have put together an outstanding narrative of the Iraq War from the point of view of the soldier. This is so much more interesting to me than another book written by some general. If you want to know what it was really like serving as a tanker in combat, read this book. I was one of the Cobras during the war and this book really tells it like it happened. A great read!

What maybe of more interest is a book my sister wrote on his life. Some of your followers may find it of interest of a different life and time of a boy to man story before, during and after WW 2.

    Cold Ground's Been My Bed : A Korean War Memoir
    by Daniel Wolfe (Outpost 52)
    List Price: $22.95 Available at amazon.com

    Dan Wolfe was a Bronx, New York, teenager whose passions were baseball, fooling around in school, and hanging out at the candy store in the 1940s. Three years out of high school, he was drafted and sent to Korea. Cold Ground’s Been My Bed is his no-holds-barred memoir of the experience, from his physical to deployment into a frontline platoon.

    Dan tells the story with unflinching honesty and humor amid the tragedies that befell his company.
    Feeling inadequate about handling the Browning Automatic Rifle in basic training, he expressed his doubts to a cadre man, who assured him, “You don’t have to worry about it, kid. It’s given to the biggest men in the squad.” The day he arrived on the front line, Dan, five-foot-seven and 133 pounds, was assigned the twenty-pound BAR.
    When his platoon was ambushed, Dan crawled over fire-swept terrain to retrieve the body of his sergeant. Decades later he learned that he’d been cited for the Silver Star, but the Jeep carrying the papers was blown up by mortar rounds.
    When a GI was killed by negligent “friendly fire,” the victim’s buddy carried out a revenge murder.
    In recounting his story, Dan never pretends to be more than he was, a young man being shocked and shaped by the reality of war.

    Description
    Using old regimental records from the Civil War, as well as diaries and letters, Mark W. Johnson has unearthed a wealth of new material about this long-neglected topic: he covers every unit and every battle in compelling narrative and exhaustive detail and reaches some surprising conclusions about the significant role these troops played in the Union's eventual victory.
    This book covers the full history of the four Regular Army Regiments that fought in the Civil War's Western Theater, the 15th, 16th, 18th and 19th U.S. Infantry Regiments.

    Description
    Taking up its position astride the Peking-Mukden [Beijing-Shenyang] railway beginning in January, 1912, the United States Fifteenth Infantry Regiment was engaged in protecting American interests in China. The 1000 man force was especially challenged during the 1920s, those tumultuous years when warlords struggled to gain ascendancy in the Chinese Republic. Although Chiang Kai-shek established a measure of control in China by 1928, the regiment remained in China—partially to counter Japan’s increasingly aggressive actions—despite considerable misgivings within and outside of the United States Army as to the feasibility, desirability, and ethical appropriateness of the policy retaining it there. The success of the Japanese in conquering much of eastern China finally compelled Washington to withdraw the regiment on March 2, 1938.

    This work recounts and assesses some aspects of the involvement and service of the Fifteenth Infantry Regiment during its fateful quarter of a century in the Orient between the World Wars. Also detailed is the Army’s service in those years in general. Many insights are provided regarding the self-perceptions of a key generation of U.S. military personnel deployed there.

    THE NOT FORGOTTEN WAR chronicles the experiences of Private Nicholas Dick who served in a machine gun crew during the last few months of the Korean conflict. Those last months were among some of the bloodiest as both sides fought to claim as much territory as possible prior to reaching a cease-fire agreement. For years after his discharge, Nick was never able to talk about his horrific experiences and never mentioned the frequent nightmares he suffered. After a job injury forced him to take early retirement, he suddenly found himself becoming a victim of Post Traumatic Stress syndrome. Here is one GI's story of war and its aftermath.

     

    Letters Home
     From 9/11 to Operation Iraqi Freedom A Military Mom Shares Her Family's Story of Patriotism, Courage and Love
    by
    Mary Ward

    It sells for $15 + $3.95 for shipping for a total of $18.95. I give five percent of the sale of each book to the Wounded Warrior Project. As of 12/13/04 $186.94 has been raised for our Wounded Warriors.

    Letters Home could be any family's war story. There are thousands of families deeply affected, some with more compelling stories some with less, all with fears they never dreamed existed. There are some thoughts that are never far from your heart and mind. This is one family's journey as told through the words of a soldier's mother and her son's letters home.

    Ward's son, Sean, enlisted in the infantry after the attacks on 9/11. He was driven to take up arms for his country and has not looked back since. Sean's letters home from basic training to the last letter home from Iraq range from joy to intensely reflective. He serves with the 3rd Infantry Division (mechanized) and was machine gunner on a Bradley during the first phase of Operation Iraqi Freedom.

    Ward shares with the reader how it felt to read his letters and the life challenges they faced while her son was in the most dangerous place in the world.

    "Mary Ward takes us on an amazing journey, from the terrors of the battlefield to the tenderness of a mother's heart. Her "Letters Home" should inspire us all to be brave in adversity, and 'choose the harder right over the easier wrong'."

    WWII Memoirs-3rd Infantry Division

     

    One of 3rd Division’s Own, Authors Book
    “LOOKING BACK”
    Memoirs of Terry Lloyd Tennant

    At last someone has written about the long overlooked story, of the critical part played (in December 1950) by the 7th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Division, in the vicious battle fought at Huksu-ri and Sachang-ni, southwest of the Chosin Reservoir in North Korea. The book contains 329 pages of real life adventure, humor, suspense, excitement, worry, disappointment, heartbreak, death, sadness, depression, recovery, happiness, and a multitude of historic facts. His life beginning in an upstairs flat in Detroit, Michigan, this is the story of Terry Lloyd Tennant, born into poverty during the great depression in the 1930’s, his experiences growing up in the inner city; then (at age 18) leaving home and enlisting in the United States Army. Known intimately only by those who were there and survived, it is the authors hope this book will be read by many of the 3rd Division men, so they will know and perhaps appreciate why we who were their are so proud of this special chapter in the long and glorious history of the -
    3rd Infantry Division U.S. Army - the “Rock of the Marne!”

    HITLER HERE
    A Biographical Novel
    George Thomas Clark

    "Hitler Here" is a well researched and carefully written biographical novel offering firstperson stories by the Fuehrer and a variety of other characters. This intimate approach
    invites the reader to peer into Hitler’s mind, talk to Eva Braun, joust with Goering,
    Goebbels, and Himmler, debate with the generals, fight on land and at sea and in the air,
    and huddle in the death camps as, everywhere, civilization is consumed.
    Please check out
    http://www.georgethomasclark.com/ -- the author's official web page - which features information about his biographical novel HITLER HERE. This work is unique because all the characters have bylines and thus the opportunity to reveal what they did and how they felt during an era of unprecedented destruction.

    The online excerpts are from the points-of-view of Hitler and six other characters.
    Generals Guderian, Halder, Rudnstedt, Rommel, Manstein, Zhukov, and Patton also have numerous entries, and so do soldiers from a variety of countries.
    At the recent Frankfurt Book Fair, HITLER HERE generated reading copy requests from several foreign publishers, and the English language rights in India have just been sold to Mastermind Books.

    "Thunder Run:  The Armored Strike to Capture Baghdad"
    at Amazon.com
    by David Zucchino
    Read an interview with the author at:
    http://www.leanwrite.com/military/040406-thunderrun.html

    Every war has images that are burned into the public's mind.  Operation Iraqi Freedom has several....the blinding sandstorms, or the photos of Iraqis and GIs tearing down statues and paintings of Saddam.  The other memorable event of the war for many was the sight of American armor racing into the heart of Baghdad, despite the daily assurances from Iraq's Information Minister that the Allies were nowhere near the city.  

    The armor was from the US Army's 3rd Infantry Division (Mechanized), and Los Angeles Times reporter David Zucchino was embedded with them for their drive up into Iraq, and then on their daring "Thunder Runs" into the city.  A year later, he has released a book about the division's remarkable armor thrusts into Baghdad and the savage fights on a major highway to the west of the city as the division sought to re-supply the armored force.  "Thunder Run:  The Armored Strike to Capture Baghdad"  promises to cement this amazing story into the annals of American military accomplishments with hundreds of first-hand accounts of what happened in the first week of April 2003, so far from Fort Stewart, Georgia.

    AUTOBAHN TO BERCHTESGADEN
    by Lt Col( Sgt in WWII) Sherman W. Pratt

    This book written by a WWII member of the Army’s Third Infantry Division that led the attack into Iraq in mid-March 2003 provides the most or only detailed and reliable account available of the remarkable record of the Division in World War II as witnessed and experienced by an actual participant.

    The Third began its almost three years of fighting in Africa, Italy, France and Germany with landings near Casablanca in French Morocco. It had 34,000 casualties, in almost three years of combat, more than any other Division in either the European or Pacific theaters. 39 members of the Division were awarded Medals of Honor. It was the Division of Lt Audie Murphy the war’s most decorated soldier.

    The Third was also the Division that arrived first and captured Hitler’s Bavarian retreat at Berchtesgaden in the closing hours of the War - not the 101stAiborne Division as incorrectly reported by Stephen Ambrose and Stephen Spielberg respectively in the book and HBO film Band of Brothers,

    Anyone with relatives or friends now serving with the Third Infantry Division and wanting to learn more about its distinctive, heroic and astonishing history would do well to not delay in obtaining a copy of this book while limited supplies last. The book in hard back was listed at $34.95 - current paper back lists $24.95. Copies can be ordered from the author direct for $14.95 plus $3 for p&h. Send orders to:
