My heartfelt thanks to the 11th vets and their family members who were on a trip to Germany and Europe just recently, and held a commemoration service in the town of Tittling in honor of my father, PFC. James M. Bishop. My Dad was a rifleman in the 1st platoon, Co. A, 21 AIB, 11th AD. He died of wounds April 24, 1945 when he was shot off a vehicle and then run over by another vehicle, prob. a tank. He was buried in the yard of a home just outside the town, later disinterred and buried in the Nuremberg Cemetery.
The former mayor of Tittling, Hr, Herbert Zauhar, has been very helpful in my research of my Dad's death.
May God continue to bless all the vets of WW II, and especially those of the 11th AD.
