The Sir Lancelot G.I. of World War II: Battle of the Bulge

This is a true story of the most unusual, outstanding, unsung hero. This ex-G.I.’s rebellious nature toward the U.S. Army after his peacetime draft induction was, without question, extremely noticeable. His true blood lines may well exceed the blueblood of Lord Fauntleroy; however, his actions in that respect surely would not. Rebellious and unruly as he may have been at the start of his U.S. Army career, once he entered the war zone in the European Theater of Operations, the true record of his accomplishments and heroism seemed to be unmatchable.

This unusual man, known as Private Earl J. Berndt, of Company A, First Battalion, 394th Infantry, 99th Division, with little regard for his own safety and with his cunning ways, saved the lives of countless U.S. Army soldiers including a very great number of the wounded enemy. He personally and with sheer cunningness captured the German General Von Rundstedt’s orders of the "Battle of the Bulge"; thus, bringing this very important war action by the enemy to the immediate attention of the U.S. Army high command. His ingenuity and daring actions were the major instrumental parts in preventing the surrender of the entire U.S. 394th Infantry Regiment.

Several more very important actions on his part that deserve high decorations are clearly written in this book for record. He lived in absolute obscurity, entirely unnoticed by the public in Southern California; however, his seemingly unmatchable accomplishments during World War II should unquestionably be brought to the attention of the public.

His brave, outstanding, unselfish actions during the "Battle of the Bulge" were so very unusual that they unquestionably may have altered the entire course of the war.
