Emilio DiPalma was drafted into the Army in September of 1944. After basic training at Camp Blanding, Florida, Emilio was ordered to the European Theater on the Isle de France arriving in January 1945. In the fall, after the end of the war, Emilio, as part of the 79th Infantry Division, moved into Nuremberg. He was soon tasked with guard duty, remembering guarding Albert Speer and Hermann Goering. When in the courtroom, he stood at the witness stand. Emilio returned to the United States in the summer of 1946 and was discharged shortly thereafter in July. |
