Charles durning military history7/3/2023 rogerd 20:07, 4 July 2006 (UTC) Reply In order for you to post it on wikipedia, um, yes, you do need to. I am sure that if you search the internet or your local public library enough, you will find what you are looking for. Durning has talked about all of this in interviews that I have seen. How do I know he wasn't lying? Because he told me and I believed him. Can I point you to a URL that documents what units and when he served with each? No. Michael Dorosh 01:12, 3 July 2006 (UTC) Reply My father also served in WWII. I stand to be corrected by actual documentary evidence. I would suggest that the odds of a rifleman in the 1st Infanty Division surviving Omaha Beach and "just missing" the Malmedy Massacre are extremely slim. As for your comment "very", I have a hard time believing you understood the implication of the question. Do you have a copy of the book? I'd be interested in knowing what cites/footnotes the author provides. rogerd 00:54, 3 July 2006 (UTC) Reply Nothing in that link you provided shows any evidence whatsoever that the claims made are true. Try doing a google if you don't believe me. This is a well known fact, written about several books including one written by the Naval Institute Press reviewed here. How likely is it for a rifleman in the 1st Infantry Division on Omaha Beach to later be reassigned to an artillery oberservation battalion (which comprised the victims of the Malmedy massacre)?

I wish we had a good source for his WWII exploits: unit, rank, etc. Durning, my gratitude and utmost respect go out to you. However, I just recently found out about his heroism during WWII which included being in the first wave on Omaha Beach at Normandy, being one of the few survivors of the Malmedy Massacre and being awarded the Silver Star and three Purple Hearts. I have known of Charles Durning as an accomplished actor for many years. This article has been rated as C-Class on the quality assessment scale. To use this banner, please see the full instructions.
