One night, near dawn on May 13, he heard that his friend Krupkowski “got it.” Lanciotti reacted by running around saying he was going to kill Japanese. He wrote that later this embarrassed him. “The only reference points I had for mourning were movies that depicted a similar situation, so I played the role as I had learned it from Hollywood.”
To keep a promise they made to each other, he wrote a letter to “Krup’s” parents.
What I really felt was that I was ashamed to be alive and able to write this useless letter to a mother and father who had lost their son, and his siblings who had lost their brother. But a promise is a promise, and I kept it even if I did not tell the story exactly as it happened. Civilians would never understand anyway. And who knows what happened? I didn’t, and I was there.
Each day took away more of our men so that we had suffered over two hundred percent in casualties. It was just a matter of time for the odds to catch up.
