Dad arrived after D-Day.  He was with the Quartermaster Corps, doing 
mop-up - going from town to town, securing arsenals (and using up German 
ammo.)  All he would tell me about were when they found and 
"requisitioned" a cellarful of Mosel Champagne, and a rare moment of 
bliss just sitting alone in a dining-car with music on the radio and a 
very good meal.
