- It is so nice to see places like this that preserve and acknowledge the people, who at the time, literally saved the world! Two of these people were Sgt Douglas Filbeck, was my Uncle. He drove a tank destroyer named "Blazing ***," and Sgt William R. Norvell, 44th Infantry Division, 324th Inf, Company "C," my dad. We are loosing these special men at an alarming rate,so I wish to thank all who have taken the time to establish and maintain sites like this.
