Synopsis:
Captain Charles Scheffel is one of 12 persons whose war experiences are featured in the History Channel production, WWII IN HD, a 10-hour color series narrated by Gary Sinise. CRACK! AND THUMP is Scheffel's chilling account of ground combat of a young company-grade officer who fought with the 9th Infantry Division in North Africa, Sicily, France, Belgium, and Germany. Scheffel vividly recalls the terror, mind-numbing fatigue, raw emotions, and horrific conditions fighting men endured to achieve victory in World War II.
About the Author: A star athlete at Oklahoma A&M, Charles Scheffel entered the U.S Army as a 2nd lieutenant after graduation in 1942. During his military service, he earned the combat infantry badge, two purple hearts, the bronze and silver stars, and the French Croix de Guerre. After extended stays in various military and veterans hospitals, he retired in January 1946 from disabilities caused by wounds suffered at the Siegfried Line along the German-Belgium border.
