Col. Doug Dillard

Hero of the last allied bayonet charge of WWII and survivor of the massacre at Rochelinval (The Bulge), Col Doug Dillard 551st P.I.B (rtd), appears in The Americans in The Bulge due to air across America this Memorial Day weekend.
“When we finally took Rochelinval we sent a runner down to bring up the guys, who were trapped in the valley.” There is no point, Sir” he said “They are all dead.” “That earned us the name of ‘The Lost Battalion.’
