Talk:Jack VanderGeest

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I am currently looking for reference material on the internet. Will complete soon.

Also, please be aware of name variations, most commonly "Jack Van Der Geest"

In regards to Notability:

He was 1 of only 8 people ever to escape from Buchenwald Concentration Camp

He was involved in every military operation the 101st Airborne took part in from D-1 until the Battle of the Bulge, including the siege of Bastogne.

   -He was the interpreter who had to translate the famous response "Nuts" 
   to the German who brought the demand to surrender. Note: He was forced to say "Go to Hell"
   to convey the proper understanding.
