Tank-On-Tank Combat: Destroying Hitler’s Panzer Division | Battle of the Bulge | Harry Miller - American Veterans Center

While growing up during the Depression, Harry Miller would watch with admiration as Civil War veterans marched in parades in his native Ohio. The sight inspired him lie about his age & join the military. When he applied for active duty, Miller was assigned to Ft. Knox, Kentucky where he joined a mechanized unit.
During WWII, Harry served with the 740th Tank Battalion as a tank crewman. On Oct. 29, 1944, Miller’s battalion departed England & arrived in France via Utah Beach. Seeing little combat at first, Miller feared he had missed most the action. That all changed on Dec 16, when German forces launched their last great offensive or World War II - The Battle of the Bulge.
