Sergeant Forrest L. Guth (6 February 1921 – 9 August 2009)〔Sgt. Forrest Guth, p. 5.〕 was one of the 140 original members of the Easy Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment in the 101st Airborne Division, United States Army during the Second World War. ==Youth== Forrest Guth (pronounced ''"Gooth"'')〔Cpl. Forrest Guth, p.27.〕 was born to John H. R. and Mayme L. Guth in the small district of Lehigh County, Pennsylvania. He is a direct descendant of the original German settlers who established themselves in the inland counties of eastern Pennsylvania in the 1700s. These early colonizers were known as the Pennsylvania Dutch, although they were not Dutch, but rather of Germanic origin and German-speaking heritage.〔Cpl. Forrest Guth, p.5.〕〔 Forrest was brought up in Fogelsville, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Allentown, in Upper Macungie Township. Guth was fluent in the Pennsylvania Dutch language and would speak it with his best friends Carl Fenstermaker and Roderick Strohl. In 1941, Guth was working for Bethlehem Steel making armor plates for the Navy〔 when the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor occurred. At that time, working for the defense industry meant that he was advised not to join the army, as he was needed back at home producing steel plates. But Guth chose to enlist, with Strohl and Fenstermaker, and volunteered for the paratroopers in 1942.〔 The three became part of the original Easy Company of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, although later C. Fenstermaker volunteered for the Pathfinders and was transferred from 'Easy'.〔Cpl. Forrest Guth, p.7.〕
