Description
Shintani speaks about the various weapons that the German soldiers used and more of his combat duties, including the Gothic Line push. Next, he talks about his various combat duties in France, including the rescue of the Lost Battalion. Once the war had ended, he headed back to the United States where he saw the Statue of Liberty upon landing in New Jersey. From there, he went back to Chicago to stay with family, before ultimately settling down and starting a family in Texas. Shintani talks proudly about his children and grandchildren and the interview extends to his wife at the end.
