Robert Izumi joined the Army in WWII as a member of the Japanese-American Nisei Battalion and saw action in Italy before joining the 101st Airborne Division as a paratrooper. The 101st was deeply involved in fighting the Germans in Belgium and Luxembourg during the bitter winter of the Battle of the Bulge.
Izumi helped liberate many people from concentration camps and, in May 1945, moved on to Berchtesgaden, Hitler's hideout in the Bavarian Alps. Watch and share his compelling story.
