The man who drew the war

He jumped into Normandy with a sketchbook.

On the night of June 5, 1944, eighteen men climbed aboard the plane. The first man out the door was Lieutenant Dick Winters. The second was T/Sgt. Burton “Pat” Christenson. He carried a light machine gun, a .45, and a sketchpad.

Through Normandy, Holland, Bastogne, and into Germany, he drew what he saw. The world saw his work and never knew his name. Until now.

“Almost priceless.”
Stephen E. Ambrose
“The number two man. And that was Pat.”
Major Dick Winters
