STORY

Bernard is the sixth son of seven children of Conrad Carl Wingerter and Elizabeth Ann Schmaltz, he was the twin of Fred Conrad Wingerter.

He enlisted in the US Army in Spokane, Washington, on July 28, 1943 and assigned to the 712nd Tank Battalion.

He was the first of two sons killed in action during the Second World War.

On September 20, 1943 the 712nd Tank Battalion was activated. This date is misleading because the 712nd existed before in the 10th Armd Division
