Breuer’s book The Great Raid on Cabanatuan was adapted into the 2005 film The Great Raid.
Breuer volunteered for combat duty during World War II, landing with the first assault waves on D-Day in Normandy and fighting through five campaigns in the European Theatre, including the Battle of the Bulge.
