Battle of the Bulge
Joseph Robertson: ‘I Still Had to Shoot Him’

Joseph Robertson was an infantryman in the U.S. Army during World War II. Here, Robertson recalls fighting in the Battle of the Bulge and having to take the life of a young German soldier that wouldn’t surrender to him. He calls it “the saddest memory of his life” and would continuously wake up in the middle of the night with the image of the young boy etched into his mind.
