Herbert Menno Amstutz Interview

At 41, Herbert Amstutz was older than your average enlistee in 1942, but as a practicing physician he had a lot to offer the U.S. Army. He trained at the University of Pennsylvania in surgery on "everything from the neck up." Amstutz became an important member of the medical team that worked in the days after the Normandy invasion to treat soldiers with wounds in the most vulnerable areas of the anatomy.

Interviewed at the age of 101, Amstutz displays a remarkable memory for the details of those perilous times.
