In WWII Gus Maisel and Fred James Steck were enemies. The former a U.S. Army soldier and the latter a German paratrooper. But in 1960s America they are fellow citizens. In this episode of Battleline they look back on their time in combat, realising how close they came to one another in the battle for Sicily in 1943.
