Germans in the Woods is a moving animation that illustrates the scarring experience of Joseph Robertson, a 86-year-old World War II veteran who fought for the Allies at the Battle of the Bulge, Hitler’s last major offensive. Amidst fierce combat and harsh winter weather, both the Germans and the Allies suffered heavy casualties. But Mr. Robertson has never been able to forget one young soldier he killed there. In July 2005, he shared this memory with son-in-law John Fish, Jr. at a StoryCorps MobileBooth in Columbus, Ohio.
The short story was animated by New York based animators the Rauch Brothers.
