I guess what he saw was too gruesome or he didn't want to relive his experiences.
GOD bless The Greatest generation for the sacrifices they made so we can enjoy freedom. The USA is the greatest country one could be in.

My father was the captain of a B-24 and he never talked about the war. If I'd ask him a specific question he'd answer, but it wasn't something he openly talked about. What men I knew from WW-2 were pretty much the same way.
One of the most interesting people I ever met was the chief engineer at the very first radio station I worked at. This man was not a combatant in WW-2, but spent part of his life in one of Mr. Hitler's Polish Resort Hotels. He still had his prison number tattooed onto his arm. He was soon to be executed, but was spared because the Russians came crashing through the gates, and he was saved.
