Hi all. Just wanted to mention our book, LST 388: A World War II Journal, which is now out. My Dad kept journals throughout the war while serving in the US Navy. We finally put them all together and the book was published this past October. It can be found as a book and eBook on Amazon, or at the Deeds Publishing website. (I will be doing a Goodreads giveaway early next year as well.) Here is a short description:
Through his journal entries, von der Osten takes us with him to war, from his training days in the newly created amphibious force, to practice beachings on the Chesapeake Bay; from the ports of North Africa and the United Kingdom, to the hostile shores of Sicily, Salerno, and Normandy. All the while serving as a radioman aboard this new kind of ship, the landing ship, tank (LST).
If you, or someone you know, enjoys history on a more personal level, please check it out.
