My granddad was a medic but was across the sea in England and followed behind the wave to Berlin working mostly in the field hospitals from my understanding. He didn't talk about it very much.
The Ironic part for me is that he had boots on the ground in England, France, Germany and was in Berlin during the occupation hating Russians(hated them and said in many ways we fought the wrong People..not to dilute the obvious reasons to fight Germany, he said the German people were good.)
He was one of the guys who wouldn't stand to be honored when they ask for veterans and didn't want a Military funeral because he didn't think he deserved it because he wasn't Infantry. I understand...but I don't understand. Perspective I guess and he saw so many bad things that happened to the men he called the true heroes.
