Interview with Norman J. Feitelson, WWII veteran. CCSU Veterans History Project
Interview conducted by Eileen Hurst. Norman Feitelson tried to enlist in the US Air Force in 1942, but failed the entrance exam due to an eye test. He then decided to wait to enter the service until he was drafted. He was drafted into the US Army with 18 others from Waterbury, Ct in June of 1943. He went to basic training at Camp Edwards, which was in Cape Cod, Ma. He attended basic training for eleven months, where he learned how to be a range setter for an anti-aircraft unit. He describes the training as very difficult because of the weather and terrain of Massachusetts in the summertime. Although his unit (836th Anti-aircraft Battalion), was supposed to ship overseas in anticipation of D-Day, instead the unit was disassembled and the soldiers were broken into different divisions. Feitelson was placed in an infantry unit, and shipped to Fort Dix for infantry and artillery training. He was then sent to Louisiana and Fort Bragg before going overseas. Feitelson sailed to Scotland with 30, 000 other soldiers and was assigned to the 5th infantry division, 11th infantry regiment as a replacement just after the Battle of the Bulge. His job in this unit was to operate an automatic rifle which weighed 17 ½ pounds, and had to be carried everywhere. Just two days after landing in France to join his unit, he experienced combat during the Battle of Bitburg. On his very first patrol he saw men killed. Feitelson describes what the men ate and the conditions of living in a combat ...

Interview with Donald G. Martin, WWII veteran. CCSU Veterans History Project
Interview conducted by Vincent Roche. Donald Martin was drafted into the US Navy in the spring of 1944. He went to Bainbridge, MD for basic training, and then received an addition 12 weeks of specialized training as a navy hospital corpsman. His first job was in the Naval Hospital in Bethesda, MD where he worked in the venereal disease ward. After about 8 weeks of hospital duty, he was reassigned overseas to Tinian Island. He was assigned to the Navy Military Hospital #204 where he was promoted to a Pharmacist's Mate 3rd class. The hospital was relatively small, although it was well supplied. This hospital was specifically for Japanese and Korean civilians on Tinian Island, and many of the doctors and nurses in the hospital were Japanese citizens. Although, the war was declared over, Martin was stationed on the island until May of 1946. He was discharged as a Pharmacist's Mate 2nd class by the end of May 1946. He then returned to Penn State to continue his studies as an industrial engineer, at which time he also joined a reserve unit, which he notes was an extremely inactive unit. After graduation he was working in Detroit at the Ingersoll Rand Company, when he was called to report for duty in Sept. 1950. When he reported for duty he was instead inducted into the Marine Corps as a Staff Sergeant, and went to Field Medical Service School at Camp Lejeune for eight weeks of training. By December of 1950, Martin was in Korea and assigned to the Charlie Medical unit, part of ...

Interview with Francis J. Vail, WWII veteran. CCSU Veterans History Project.
Interview conducted by Eileen Hurst. Francis "Jim" Vail enlisted in the US Army Air Corps in September of 1942. He was living in Stafford Springs, CT at the time, and applied to be a pilot. Although, he failed the eye test, he wanted to remain in the Air Corps, because it seemed more "exciting" than the infantry. Vail's basic training was in Atlantic City, NJ, just off of the boardwalk. He stayed in the Dennis Hotel, which was next to where the Miss America pageant was staged, and the men in basic training were able to see the entire show from their hotel. From basic training, Vail was sent to the Long Island Institute of Technology to learn airplane mechanics, and lived in an apartment building while going to school. The 16 week program was taught by civilians, and the men in the program lived as civilians for the most part, as they only had one hour a day where instruction was given by the army. Vail was then stationed at Kirtland Air Force Base, NM just after it was built, where he remained for nine months working in the airplane hangar. While stationed there the movie premier for "Bombardier" was held, as it had been filmed primarily on the base, and all of the soldiers were invited to attend. From there, Vail received his orders to go overseas, and shipped out of New Jersey in a convoy of over 100, 000 soldiers. They were sent to Bizerte, Africa to await their orders, and after two weeks, Vail was transferred to Bari, Italy to work as a mechanic at the air field as ...

Interview with Franklin E. Johnson, WWII veteran. CCSU Veterans History Project
Interview conducted by Shawn Ingraham. Frank Johnson enlisted in the US Army just after his graduation from high school in 1942. Pearl Harbor had been bombed during his senior year of high school, and it was very important to him to become a part of the military. He did his basic training at Camp Edwards, Mass., where he also joined the 110th Anti Aircraft Artillery battalion. His unit was sent overseas to Europe just before Christmas of 1943, riding over on the Queen Mary with over 20, 000 other troops. Johnson's first combat experience was on D-Day at Omaha beach in France, which he describes in great detail. His unit also fought in battles for the Liberation of Paris, The Battle of the Bulge, and the battle for Remagen Bridge. After the fighting ended, Johnson's unit was in charge of helping the "displaced persons" left in Germany. Many of these people were citizens that the Germans had captured and put to work in factories, etc. for no wages. When the war in Europe was officially declared over, Johnson's unit began training for the impending battles in Japan, however, after the Atom bomb was dropped, they were instead sent back to the United States for discharge. After his discharge, he went to college on the GI Bill, and became a teacher, guidance counselor, and coach at Naugatuck High School, where he retired from.

Interview with Donald F. Moss, WWII Veteran. CCSU Veterans History Project.
Interview conducted by Judi Houpert. Donald Moss joined the US Marine Corps in February of 1942, shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor. At the time he had just finished art school in Boston, MA, and was working for a printing company. He attended basic training at Parris Island, SC, where he described the training as very rigorous. Moss then went to Guadalcanal, where he and others would go on patrols in enemy territory to scout out the placement of enemy troops. After the intense battle that took place in Guadalcanal, the Marines were sent on a 30-day furlough in Melbourne, Australia, and then sent on to Guam. Moss continued working for regimental intelligence in Guam, drawing battle maps for the invasion of Japan, which he did for the duration of the war. While there, he also made prints of his painting of the Battle of Guadalcanal, of which he sold hundreds of copies. It was also in Guam, where Moss worked under Capt. Gene Davis, who would later assist Moss with finding free-lance work with Colliers magazine after the war. He returned home when the war ended, but was not discharged until March of 1946. After his discharge he moved to New York City, where he went to Pratt Institute, and later became an illustrator for Sports Illustrated Magazine. Moss painted scenes from the Lake Placid Olympics and champion golf courses, among other things, which he did for 30 years, until his semi-retirement in 1984. He also became the Chairman and Vice President of the Society of ...

Interview with Joseph R. Horanzy, WWII veteran. CCSU Veterans History Project.
Interview conducted by Shawn Ingraham. Joseph Horanzy enlisted in the US Army in 1943. He was part of the infantry for nine months before becoming a member of the Army Air Corps, where he underwent training to become a ball turret gunner. Horanzy, part of a ten man crew, flew combat missions over much of Europe in a B-24. He flew a total of 35 missions out of Foggia, Italy. It was on the 24th mission that his crew was shot down by enemy fire, and the crew members had to bail out of the plane over Yugoslavia. Horanzy tells the story of what he encountered during the time he spent trying to get back to Allied territory. He describes what happened to each of the men in his crew, including three men that were captured by the Germans and held as POWs. After 6-7 weeks of being hidden by Allied Power sympathizers in Yugoslavia, the remaining members of his crew were taken back to Italy by a British war ship. Horanzy returned to Italy and flew his remaining 11 missions before being discharged from the Army. Upon his return to New Britain, CT, he attended Central Connecticut State University and obtained a degree in teaching. He taught the 4th grade and became principal of the elementary school in Berlin, CT where he worked for more than 32 years.

Interview with Joseph J. Menditto, WWII veteran. CCSU Veterans History Project
Interview with Joseph J. Menditto of New Britain, CT conducted by Eileen Hurst. Menditto was drafted into the US Army in 1942 and was sent to Camp Gruber in Oklahoma for basic training. There he had military intelligence training, learning how to operate observation posts for the front lines. His battalion shipped out in October of 1943 for North Africa in a convoy of 105 ships. The large number of ships helped to defer the possibility of being torpedoed by German submarines. Menditto's company remained in North Africa for 4 months before sailing to Italy to back up forces there. There Menditto, fought in the Battle of Monte Cassino, and witnessed a friend from New Britain sustain injuries that led to the amputation of both his legs. Menditto describes the procedure followed by the radio man, in particular the procedures they followed during the Battle for Santa Maria Infante. Menditto also describes his experiences in Angio, Italy, where it was his unit's job to cut off the use of the road to the German soldiers who were using it to receive supplies. It was also at this time that the US soldiers ran low on supplies and became desperate for food at times. He describes the hard conditions that the soldiers were met with. It was in Mount Capello, Italy, that Meditto was injured not once but twice. After healing in a hospital in Rome, he was sent back to the front in Bologna, which was attacked just before the end of the war was announced. After volunteering to help return ...

After completion of basic training, Pease was sent to Camp Lejeune (NC) for additional training and unit assignment. His unit shipped to American Samoa on a former luxury liner. On American Samoa, he learned how to use the 30 caliber Browning machine gun, and he and a squad of eight others kept guard on the island. After five months on American Samoa, his unit was shipped to Wellington, New Zealand to pick up additional troops. Pease's unit spent 57 days aboard the ship awaiting the troop's arrival. From there they sailed to the Tarawa Atoll, where the "Battle of Tarawa" had just begun. Pease describes the battle in detail, and what the typical marine survived during the battle with the Japanese. From Tarawa he was sent to a naval hospital in Hawaii because he contracted Filariasis, a disease that is passed to humans from mosquitoes. Due to this disease Pease was not sent back to the Pacific theater after his hospitalization. Instead he was sent to a naval shipyard in Birmington, WA, where he worked as a guard for the rest of his service time. He was discharged in February of 1946 and returned home to Connecticut.

Interview with William Burrows, WWII veteran. CCSU Veterans History Project
Interview conducted by Michael Van Buren. William T. Burrows enlisted in the US Navy and went to basic training in Sampson, NY. He was sent to Newport, RI for gunnery school, and then Boston before being assigned to the crew of the USS Drexler. The Drexler sailed around the Panama Canal and gathered provisions in Hawaii, and then sailed to the Pacific Theatre of the War. Their first stop was Guadalcanal, then Tarawa, and finally Okinawa. Their duty was to prepare the islands for battle. Burrows describes seeing ships as far as the eye could see during these battles. In Okinawa, the Drexler was part of a "picket line", which was a line of ships that the Japanese planes had to pass before being able to bomb the island. It was during the "picket line" that the Drexler was hit by two kamikaze pilots and sunk. Burrows describes the bombing and the subsequent rescue after the sinking. He was then sent back to the US for a mandatory leave before being reassigned to a seagoing tug out of Bath, Me. He was discharged and went to work for Potter and Johnson in RI and later the Post Office. At the time of the interview he had not yet retired, and still worked as a driver.
