Publisher's Synopsis
This World War II diary of Albert E. Klumpp is unique because it was written with full knowledge of the skipper of the L.S.T. 351, even though United States military regulations prohibited servicemen from keeping personal diaries. Through Al's diary, we get a firsthand account of what he experienced while overseas during the war. The L.S.T. 351 was assigned to the European theater and participated in, the Sicilian occupation, Salerno landings, Anzio-Nettunno and the Invasion of Normandy. This diary shows a small glimpse of the daily maneuvers, red alerts, air raids, convoys and fear.
