In this 1944 photo titled "Hell In Hurtgen" by photographer Tony Vaccaro, shows an American soldier in Germany's Hurtgen Forest. Vaccaro, 97, was thrown into WWII with the 83rd Infantry division which fought, like Charles Shay, in Normandy, and then came to Schmetz's doorstep for the Battle of the Bulge. On top of his military gear, he also carried a camera, and became a fashion and celebrity photographer after the war. COVID-19 caught up with him last month. Like everything bad life threw at him, he shook it off, attributing his survival to plain "fortune." (Photo courtesy Tony Vaccaro via AP)
