Ludwig Faistenhammer was born in Germany but his family moved to the U.S. before the Nazis rose to power. After the U.S. entered World War II, he joined the Army, never once deterred by having to fight the nation in which he was born. He would later be among the first in the Army to join Special Forces. He also served in Korea and Vietnam.
In this edition of "Veterans Chronicles," Faistenhammer takes us through his time as a tank commander at the Battle of the Bulge and Lyons. He also describes his dangerous reconnaissance mission in France that helped the U.S. capture a key German position and resulted in Faistenhammer receiving a Bronze Star.
He also tells us about his injuries in Korea,his success as a Special Forces commander in Vietnam, and his fascinating five-year stint commanding troops in a divided Germany during the Cold War.
