My Dad and Buddy 1944 Ca

The 442nd is also known for accomplishing what no other U.S. Army unit had done before: the capture of an enemy submarine. A Nisei soldier noticed what looked like an animal in the water but upon closer look it was actually a one-man German submarine. The German and the submarine were captured and handed over to the U.S. Navy. On March 23, 1945, the 442nd Regimental Combat Team sailed back to Italy and returned to the Gothic Line.
