Small Town America in World War II: War Stories From Wrightsville, Pennsylvania
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Historians acknowledge that World War II touched every man, woman, and child in the United States. In Small Town America in World War II, Ronald E. Marcello uses oral history interviews with civilians and veterans to explore how the citizens of Wrightsville, Pennsylvania, responded to the war effort. Interviews with citizens and veterans are organized in sections on the home front; the North African-Italian, European, and Pacific theatres; stateside military service; and occupation in Germany. Throughout Marcello provides introductions and contextual narrative on World War II as well as annotations for events and military terms. Overseas the citizens of Wrightsville turned into soldiers. A veteran of the Battle of the Bulge, Edward Reisinger, remembered, “Replacements had little chance of surviving. They were sent to the front one day, and the next day they were coming back with mattress covers over them.” Tanker Mervin Haugh recalls, “The next thing we knew, the German tanks attacked us. They knocked out five of our tanks quickly, and they all burned up in flames.”

Remembering the Forgotten D-day: the Amphibious Landing at Collado Beach During the Mexican War
The current historiography of the Mexican War does not give due credit to the significance of the landing at Collado Beach. No one source addresses all aspects of the landing, nor have any included an analysis of the logistical side of the operation. This thesis presents a comprehensive analysis of the operation from conception to execution in an attempt to fill the gap in the historiography. Additionally, the lessons learned and lessons forgotten from this landing are addressed as to how this landing shaped American military doctrine regarding joint operations and amphibious operations. The conclusion drawn from the historical sources supports the argument that this operation had a significant impact on the American military. The influence of this operation shows itself throughout American military history, including the establishment of amphibious doctrine by the Unites States Marine Corps and during World War II.

The National Museum of the Pacific War presents an oral interview with Milford Lee. After high school, Lee performed in a traveling big band. Once the war started, he became a draftsman at Boeing and took the aviation cadet exam. In January 1943 he began flight training, earning his wings that fall.

He details the protocol for conducting large raids, from briefing to debriefing, describing intense antiaircraft fire over the target. In Southern France, his plane was experimentally modified to carry 3,000 pounds' worth of bombs. In the fall of 1944, Lee was recruited for an Army big band that traveled to remote bases and emergency landing strips. While performing in the Balkans, he was captivated by a Partisan commander, later revealed to be Tito. After 56 missions, Lee was rotated to the States and in November 1945 was discharged. He went on to earn a doctorate in nuclear physics and joined a small research team that revolutionized fiber-optic communication.
