- Summary:
- In the presence of Nazi guards, Milton Feldman stood proud as an American Jew; Milton Feldman was born in 1924 to hard-working immigrants from Russia. His parents had a candy store in Brooklyn and he vividly remembers the social transformations that followed the Great Depression, a time in which the quiet Jewish neighborhood where he grew up, bared witness to the Nazi youth parading swastikas alongside the Stars and Stripes. By 1937, the echoes of Fascism in Europe were an open invitation for thousands to gather at Madison Square Garden where thousands of Hitler sympathizers cheered the speech of rightwing Nationalists. The fall of 1944 will find Milt amongst the troops of the 106th Infantry Division, onboard the HMS Queen Elizabeth on his way to Europe. He was ready to do his part of the American deal, just as his father Jack and done before him in some of the major battles of World War I. Milt's was going to be an easy ride, after all, most of France and Belgium had already been liberated and it was a matter of time before the Third Reich would collapse. However, on the morning of December 16th Hitler launched a massive offensive in the Western Front in what came to be known as The Battle of the Bulge. Private Milton Feldman was captured, then marched and shipped by train on a boxcar to Stalag IV-B, a POW camp deep into German territory. Now, the elderly gentleman, the veteran of The Bulge, approaching 94, becomes the subject of "Milt Feldman: A Soldier's Dream".
