Die Menschen sind die wahren Helden

Ernest Taylor Pyle (August 3, 1900 - April 18, 1945), known everywhere as 'Ernie', was a Pulitzer Prize-winning American journalist and war correspondent, best known for his stories about ordinary American soldiers during World War II. When the United States entered World War II, he infused his war reports from Europe (1942-44) and the Pacific (1945) with the same distinctive, folksy style as his other everyday stories. In December 1940, Pyle volunteered to go to London to report on the Battle of Britain. He witnessed the German incendiary bomb attacks on the city and reported on the escalating conflict in Europe. His memories of his experiences during this time were published in his book 'The People Are the Real Heroes'.
