Eric V, Joseph Heller, who wrote Catch-22, flew over 60 missions as a bombardier, and Kurt Vonnegut, who wrote “S5,” also fought extensively in that War and famously lived through the firebombing of Dresden, where he was trapped in a Slaughterhouse. Just let the record reflect all that, in case others here don’t know them…. And also, rather than merely parroting stuff you probably read on a blog much like this one, can you suggest any WWII writers whose novels that are MORE enduring? Hemingway is all that comes to mind for me.
