My father, Herman Ernest Brown, served in Co. B of the 385th. He met my mother in Antwerp, they're happily married still. Watching the movie "Band of Brothers" opened discussion of his war experience for the first time. We were surprised how fresh the emotions were after so many years but it was wonderful to have him speak of it finally.

It was a great surprise when I placed my grandfathers name into a search engine to find out that there's actually a picture of him on the internet. My grandfather was H.V. Combass, Red Batallion, C Company, 2nd Platoon. I never got the please to ever see him in person because he died shortly before the beginning of my existence, so any kind of picture of him is a great thing to see. I was named after this man he was also known as H.V. ''Tommy'' Combass. Thank You for posting the picture. He has four surviving brothers currently as of 17 Dec 04.

Heman S. Blackwell of Saddleback, Maine was my grandfather. His enlistment record and honorable discharge show he was a cook in Co. A, 302 Infantry in France in 1918. He got out early due to some illness and a stay in a hospital in France. Interestingly, he got $93 mustering out pay. I'm sure that was quite a sum in those days.

My wife's father Arnold D.Holman (HQ/901) passed away March 31st of this year. We have his uniform and ribbons as well as many wonderful stories. What we cannot find is a black binder book he had with photos and maps. We intended to pass this with his other items to his only grandson who is currently serving with the U S Airforce. Arnold truly was a member of this country's Greatest Generation, he was the real deal no phony airs just a wonderful caring man. Any help in finding a replacement for this book would be truly appreciated.

I am looking for any information about the history of the 90th regarding the area of SOUTHERN THURINGIA, county of SAALFELD, a region where mountains are covered with black stones from the slate mines. I am desperately looking for veterans who have been in that area or for any material (pictures, notes) which they might have left to someone. IG Farben had started to built an underground fuel production site in Unterlockwitz. The slate mine in Unterlockwitz was than guarded and closed for public. US military searched the mine for 4 weeks but NARA does not have any documentation. Also IG Farben had hidden 50 boxes with secret papers (also other content?) in the mine and it remains unclear what happend to them. Where are there no records or why are they not available in US archives? Any help about that subject is highly appreciated.

My Father (Charles B. Schatz, SR) belonged to the 417th reg. Company I, 76th Infantry Division. My Dad passed away in June, 1994. He was very proud of his service during the War and passed on his experiences to me, his oldest son. He landed in Le Havre, France in Jan, 1945. I believe his unit fought in Luxembourg and crossed the Rhine between Boppard & St Goar. He was almost killed on Good Friday during a skirmish in the town of Schmitten. I think his unit was fighting SS Cadets. He remembers helping to liberate a Concentration Camp somewhere in Eastern Germany. He took a Swastika Souvenier off a house in Liepzig and then headed south ending up on VE Day in Chemnitz, Czechoslovakia. Several years before his death I had the pleasure of going with him to the National Archives Library in Washington DC to retrace his units path thru Europe. It brought back many memories for him. Like most WW II Vets he played down what he had done in the War, but to me he was,as are all Vets my Heros.

My great-uncle was Jay Q. Spahr. He was in Co. L, 304th Regiment, 76th Infantry. He trained at Camp McCoy, WI and then shipped overseas. He was in Bornmoth England for 2 months before being sent to the front. He tells of traveling in boxcars through France. He was in the Battle of the Bulge. According to his story, he was in a jeep that ran over a land mine somewhere in Luxemborg, was thrown out with shrapnel injuries to his leg which apparently froze to the ground and was immoblized there for several hours. He was discovered finally and transported to a med unit in an old school house, then transported to a hospital ship and then back to England. He was mustered out as a Master Sgt. Uncle Jay passed away a few years ago. I would really appreciate if any one who knew him and/or knew more of him or those circumstances would contact me. We are compiling a family history and would like to add more details to his story.
Thank you.

Still searching for information on my paternal grandfather, Woodrow Knox who was at Fort McCoy in 1946 and met my grandmother there.

My dad, Eli Gerowitz, served with Company F, 304th Regiment, 76th

I would love to find someone who served with him. He passed away almost
3 years ago and never really talked about his war experience. My son
and I are trying to learn as much as we can about his service. We know
he was at one of the beaches at Normandy, but do not know which one. I
also know there was a concentration camp that he was one of the
liberators of and I would like to find out which one.
I can be contacted at this e-mail: lbfreeman@hahnlaw.com or at the phone number
below as well. I did printout the book, "We Ripened Fast" and located
his picture in it. He enlisted at 17 out of Rochester, New York.
