As the guns from the world's largest invasion fleet blasted the French coast on that cold morning on June 6th, 1944, and
Allied aircraft pounded German positions, five hundred men from the United States Army's 238th Engineer Battalion prepared themselves for landings on Utah Beach. These men cam the four corners of America - from Boca Raton, Florida, to Detroit, Michigan; from Kerrville, Tennesse, to Ord, Nebraska and everywhere in between. They answered President Roosevelt's call to battle by leaving their homes and loved ones in the cities of America and the farmlands of the Midwest. They were young, well-trained, courageous soldiers who would fight their way from Utah Beach to the Elbe River. In the process, these combat engineers would build hundreds of bridges under fire, lay thousands of mines, help liberate Aachen, fight at the bridge at Remagan, discover the Nazi baby factories in the Harz Mountains, survive the onslaught in the Ardennes and liberate the Dora-Mittlebau concentration camp shortly before the final destruction of the Third Reich. In this book, Paul Michael Frazee' tells the story of one of America's most highly-decorated combat engineer units in WWII. This is the story of those Cornfield Soldiers.
