Meeting Edward G. Miller – October 2018.
During the 4th edition of the annual “Meeting of the sons, daughters and veterans of the Huertgen Forest Battle” weekend in Duren early October, I met the great author and historian Edward G. Miller. Mr. Miller wrote the best book available on the Battle in the Huertgen Forest, “A dark and bloody ground”. This book has been my main inspiration to start researching the 9th Infantry Division, and his book, info and sources have been a tremendous help in finding out more about the subject. It was great to finally meet him in person.
