THE JEWISH NEWS .
Wins Bronze Star
Pfc. S. Rosenberg
A Hero in France
John M. Carlisle, Detroit News
staff correspondent now covering
the activities of Detroit soldiers
with the American forces in Nor-
mandy, has written many inter-
esting and touching stories of our
heroes. In last Tuesday's News,
Carlisle relates the heroic deeds
of a Jewish soldier.
Carlisle's story centered around
Pfc. Sidney Rosenberg, 24, of
2031 Hazelwood Ave., who has
received the Army's Bronze Star
for "meritorious service in
France during military opera-
tions against the enemy."
Pfc. Rosenberg, a medical aide
in a fighting Armored Force, was
quite surprised when he learned
of the award, even after his
doctor-captain told him a few
days before that he was going to
receive the medal.
Pfc. Rosenberg and a group
of Detroiters, including another
Jewish lad, Cpl. Sidney Katz, 27,
of 1317 Lawndale Ave., an am-
bulance driver, were sleeping in
their ambulances or fox hole on
a particular night, about 10 miles
from the Yank beachhead, when
a Nazi bomber sneaked in
through the fog and dropped two
1,000-pound bombs that hit the
camp.
Prompt action by these De-
troiters saved the lives of the
wounded, with Pfc. Rosenberg, a
Purple Heart winner for previous
wounds, stayed on the job for
two hours attending the injured
despite the fact that he could
not stand erect. He was hit in
the left hip by a piece of hard
clay, catapulted at him from the
bomb explosion. Hardly able to
move about, he refused treat-
ment until all the wounded had
been doctored.
He was back in action two days
later.
