Показать описание
A Bay Area veteran had a front seat to history and sometimes that seat was driving alongside General George Patton. On his 100th birthday, Walter Tuglus reveals his advice to living a long life.
The World War II veteran has immaculately documented his battlefield memories.
Tuglus served in the U.S. Army’s Company B under Gen. George Patton. He even had the chance to serve as Patton’s driver for a month.
Once, Tuglus and his buddies discovered a treasure trove of stolen sauerkraut the Germans kept hidden in the Notre Dame Cathedral, and they stole it.
"They captured food for themselves, but we ate it. We were stealing their steal."
