The Battle for Snow Mountain - Donald J Young - Bog

The Battle for Snow Mountain is a comic novel which begins with a surreal picture of The Snow Mountains, during the German WWII breakthrough into the Ardennes in the winter of '44. Richard thinks their first days at the front make sense. Timmons believes their actions are ridiculous. Because their inept, absurd Captain takes them up the wrong road, the two GIs are captured and sent to a POW camp. During an American air raid, the soldiers escape from the camp to the Russian zone, and then end up in Paris. After their misadventures, Timmons still thinks their war effort made no sense, whereas Richard believes their actions were necessary and meaningful.
