Home • PFC John Gurecki

John Gurecki fought with the US First Army in Europe during World War II. During his time in the army, he documented his experience through photographs and writing his thoughts down in a notebook, a postcard book he bought in Versailles, and a passport he took from a Nazi solider whom he killed in combat. PFC John Gurecki shares his experience through his own words and photographs.

“Passionate about the Second World War, I came across this little book describing the months spent by PFC John Gurecki in the trenches during WWII. The book is a pleasant mixture of excerpts from his journal and unpublished photographs, undoubtedly unknown to historians, since it is a personal diary. Military history lovers will greatly appreciate this book.”
