Pacific: Episode 9 (2 Viewers)

Snafu and Sledgehammer both died as old men in 2001. Snafu became an AC installer/repairman up around Baton Rouge, LA after the war, lived a quiet and peaceful life from what I heard. Like so many others tried to put it all behind them and move on. My dad went to work at a local brewery after he came home..Wound up working with former German POWs for years afterwards..He had no problem with them..To him, they weren't his enemy...
