Jim Landt
I just learned that my father James Frederick Landt "Fred" was in the 9th Armored Division. I thought I new my dad well, but he never told me specifics about his service. I knew he was in WWII. He told me some fun stories, mostly during the occupation after VE Day. He died of cancer in '88. I learned he was in the 9th from one of his best friends who was a coworker for 22 years. I was shocked to learn he was deployed Dec.'44 in 9th Armored Div. and that he was part of the Ludendorff Bridge operation at Remagen. I'm not sure about his service between his deployment and Remagen. It's opened up a world of questions and a lot of compassion for him, understanding why he might never mention this part of his life to me, his son.
