Howard Hoffman fought in World War II from Cassino to the Elbe as a mortar crewman and a forward observer. His war experiences are of intrinsic interest to readers who seek a foot soldier's view of those historic events. But the principal purpose of this study was to explore the bounds of memory, to gauge its accuracy and its stability over time, and to determine the effects of various efforts to enhance it. Alice Hoffman, a historian, initiated the study because she recognized the World War, 1939-1945Personal narratives, AmericanWorld War, 1939-1945CampaignsWestern FrontSoldiersUnited StatesBiographyOral historyElectronic books.World War, 1939-1945World War, 1939-1945CampaignsSoldiersOral history.940.54/21/092BHoffman Alice M.1929-1037269Hoffman Howard S.1925-2006,MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910459623903321Archives of memory2458120UNINA
