Foundation Archivist
T
he Detroit Jewish News
Archives holds some fascinat-
ing stories, to say the least.
While working with the archives last
week, I ran across a story about a mili-
tary hero that you may not have heard
of, but is someone you may know.
As the U.S Army, along with its
British and Canadian allies, began
closing in on Nazi Germany itself,
the fighting was hot and heavy. In
November 1944, as a German artillery
barrage created numerous casualties
among the American soldiers, one
man took it upon himself to jump out
of the relative safety of his foxhole
to help his wounded comrades. He
dragged as many of them as he could
to safety while shells were exploding
all around him and administered first
aid as best he could.
For his bravery as noted above,

Pfc. G. H. Landau Wins Commendation
From General for Heroism Under Fire
A unique commendation for
heroism was recently awarded to
Pfc. Graham H. Landau by Maj.
Gen. William A. Burris,.
The photograph shows Maj.-
Gen. Burriss presenting the com-
mendation to Pfc. Landau, 20, son
of Mr. and Mrs. Maurice Landau
of 2291 Longfellow.
The citation, presented at an
overseas post, reads:
"On 20 November 1944, during
an intense artillery barrage which
inflicted numerous casualties,
Private Landau voluntarily left
his foxhole to administer aid to
his wounded comrades; then, dur-
ing the continuing barrage, help-
ed to evacuate the injured to a
place of safety."
Pfc. Landau has been in serv-
ice since May, 1993, and has been
overseas since October. He is
with the 100th Infantry Division
with the 7th Army somewhere in
Germany.
A graduate of the United He-
brew Schools and Central High,
Pfc. Landau excelled on the track
and football teams at Central.
Maj. Gen. William A. Burriss gave Pfc.
Graham H. Landau an accommoda-
tion for heroism under fire. This was
reported in the DJN in February 1945.
Landau returned from the war and
became a successful businessman in
Detroit.
