Bio

Joe Dagle joined the U.S. Army on 19 March 1941 at Houston, Texas. He served as a Technician 5th Grade with the 222nd Infantry Regiment, 2nd Battalion. Serial number: 38054467. His unit arrived in France in November 1944 and was attached to "Task Force Linden." They saw combat at the Battle of the Moder River near Strasbourg in December 1944. They fought off a major German counterattack in January 1945, a courageous action that earned them a Presidential Unit Citation. The regiment advanced into Germany and broke through the Siegfried Line. It captured several key German cities, including Würzburg, Schweinfurt, and Fürth after intense hand-to-hand combat. Then they were involved in the liberation of the Dachau concentration camp on 29 April 1945. The regiment continued its advance and reached Salzburg, Austria at the end of the war in Europe. Dagle was discharged 15 September 1945.
