Sara Lamb .     Civilian

I know what it is like to lose members of your family, or even a friend. I lost my mum, dad, three-year-old brother and a friend when we were bombed. My friend and I had not been evacuated. All my family went into the Anderson shelter, but a bomb landed four houses away. It killed 10 people in my street, most were under 40. I escaped with burns and both legs broken. I visit all their graves.

Edward Lambert .     United States Army   from Collingswood, NJ

Army tank commander Ed Lambert of Collingswood remembers losing three tanks in the war, the last one during the Battle of the Bulge, outside Bastogne, Belgium. It was hit by an artillery shell. "Our Sherman tanks were iron caskets. None of my original crew survived the war. We didn't have any heat in the tank. My toes have been cold from the time I came home. Any time the temperature is low like this I wear heavy-gauge socks." Lambert's tank was hit near Bastogne, where the American commander had once famously rejected the Germans' call for surrender with one word: Nuts. "I was with Gen. George Patton. He was a crazy man but anything that would get us the hell home, that was OK with me."
