But following the death of his wife Alfred quietly started sharing a glimpse into his actual wartime experiences. His daughter first began capturing those fractions of stories on napkins during her weekly nursing home visits which grew into a nearly two-decade deep dive into his true role in the war-a reluctant front-line machine gunner in Europe from 1944 to 1945.</p><p>     Intensely researched and thoroughly human <em><strong>Alfred </strong></em>compiles a lifetime panorama of one infantryman who never wanted a part in the war but accepted it. He returned home discernibly the gentle Wisconsin farmer he was when he left to a family unknowing what he had done and what he had survived.</p><p> </p>
