This Web Site is dedicated to the Veterans of World War II.  It is for them that we do all that we do, to let the world know that what they did was for a good and just cause.  The gentleman we most admire is Master Sergeant Jules Desgain (ret).  Master Sergeant Desgain was in the 83rd Infantry Division, 908th Field Artillery, B Battery during World War II, then after the war he joined the 28th Infantry Division, 107th Field Artillery and retired from there as a Master Sergeant.  Master Sergeant Desgain's picture is forth coming and so is the history of this fine gentleman.  Last but not least this is only one of the brave young men who went to war and put their life's on the line so that you and I could enjoy the freedom that we enjoy today.  We salute all those who went to war and those that supported them on the home front.

My Website Honors Soldiers of World War II, from the 28th Division, 110th Infantry Regiment, K Company.  My purpose is to Honor the Veterans of World War II, and present it in an Educational manner as accurately and objectively as possible. I must stress "objectively" - I concentrate on the military aspects of the soldier I DO NOT support or in any way condone the politics which directed them.

My Website and its people do not represent or advocate National Socialism or any of its outgrowths.  The display of the National Emblem or other insignia is done as a part of the accurate portrayal of the soldiers of the period.  This Website and its people try to portray the common soldier in a Company.  The Axis Historians provide an important foil to the Allied Historians at public display battles and living history events.  The victory of the American, British and Soviet forces did not come easily.  An accurate portrayal may permit the uninformed to gauge more accurately the difficulty and the sacrifice made by all soldiers in achieving what General Eisenhower titled: "The Crusade in Europe."

Period politics are neither condoned nor tolerated.  Nor is the display of the Nazi Political Party Flags, Banners, or Arm Bands.

28th Division Prayer
Our Father, Creator of beauty and life,
Spare this earth from wanton strife.
28th men, who through history long,
To thy Kingdom now belong,
Bless and abide with them there.
God in Heaven, Eternal Love,
Protect their homes with grace from above;
Their loved ones, who Thy will endure, 		Comfort their hearts, keep them secure,
Bless and abide with them here.
We, on earth, who await Thy call,
Help us to keep the Faith with all,
With banners high and hearts in line,
In Thy holy light may the Keystone shine,
Bless and abide with us all.
AMEN


"GENTLEMEN FROM HELL"
They were formed in Pennsylvania,
Joined by men from every state,
With the Keystone for their emblem,
They were called the Twenty-Eighth.

They hit the beach at Omaha,
Crossed the hedges, row-by-row,
Where the Jerry learned to hate, and fear,
The Keystone's ruddy glow.

Fire and movement were their watchwords,
As they climbed hill 210,
Wrote a bloody page of history,
In the words at Campaign.

A victory march in Paris,
Ever forward with the dawn,
Through Belgium, France and Luxembourg,
The "Twenty-Eighth" rolled on.		 The Siegfried line has seen them,
All along its mighty wall,
From Achen, south to Alsace,
Where they fought at Colmar's fall.

There are towns they'll long remember,
Vossenack, Schmidt and Kommerscheid,
And the break-through in December,
Whey they slowed the German tide.

With blood and sweat they carved a niche,
In history's Hall of Fame,
With deeds of valor shinning bright,
And victory was their aim.

In Valhalla's halls, their heroes live,
Who fell along the way,
They're resting now, awaiting call,
To march on Judgment day.

When my last recall is sounded,
May I go up there to dwell,
And march again with the legions,
of the "GENTLEMEN FROM HELL."
