- I am writing a biography to be entitled "Cold Blooded Honour", which will centre around 5 family members, my tanker Dad being one.Your site is such an eye-opener. In 1961 Dad drove us to Normandy and then for the next 3 weeks, followed by road the route his tanks took to Remagen and to his last battle,at Aachen. His tank was on the front page in Stars and Stripes as hhe was one of the 1st Yanks across the bridge.
