Frank Cardimen, Professor - Oakland University
The 45th Division was involved in Africa, Sicily, Italy, France and Germany ending up in Dachau at Germany’s first prison camp. The presentation will be with the 180th Regiment where
Professor Cardimen’s uncle fought. The battles and the experiences seen through the eyes of one soldier during three years of heavy fighting will remind us of the sacrifices our soldiers made in World War II. The 180th was under Patton in Sicily – US 7th Army and ended up with Patton who commanded the United States 3rd Army.
