I am looking for any information, or friends of my father Janos Gulyas. He was worker in Neukirchen GE and taken to Tittling camp at Passau and dismissed as civilian at June 1945.
Anyone knows something?

Enjoy photos and stories of his experience of WW2 and General Patton. Visit my photos and video interview of my grandfather, Aaron Teeple, by clicking on that little house icon under my name to the left. It will take you there. Let me know if you knew my grandfather and would like to say hello.

Sgt.Murray Lefkowitz - my father was part of the 11th Armored Division.

He said little about his experiences during the war.
I know he was a Yiddush/German speaking interviewer @ Matthausen, as well as some sort of military governor at Attersee Austria at the end of the war. I would greatly appreciate learning anything anyone can offer in the way of information about him and his role in the 11th Armored Div.
Thanks

I am an author of a book on a Spanish survivor of the Mauthausen death camp. In interviews, the survivor describes being assigned to a work detail outside Mauthausen when he met approaching U.S. forces, most likely the 26th Infantry and/or 11th Armored Divisions. He speaks of a deep friendship he developed with an Army official named Ramon Navarro (Novarro/Nobarro/Nabarro?), who assisted as an interpreter when the survivor was debriefed outside of the Mauthausen prior to the assault on the town and camp.

I would be very much interested in getting in touch with this soldier, if he is living. The only information I have about this officer is that he was among the U.S. forces to liberate Mauthausen, and he was Hispanic, fluent in Spanish. The survivor believed he was an officer, but this may be inaccurate.

If Ramon could be identified and located, I would be willing to reunite captive and liberator at my expense, possibly for your next reunion.

I would be extremely grateful for your help.

Hello. I have written the biography of a Spanish communist called Luis Montero. I was wondering if your man, Ramon Navarro was one of the Pochacas, and if he ever mentioned Luis Montero. He was the Secretary General of the Spanish Communist Party in the camp. Also, could you please give me the title of your book? Thank you.

In reading the many messages I noticed that so many descendants were searching for info on a father or grandfather. To all of you of the 11th who remain, please record your story on tape, in a scrapbook,or some way for your descendants. I have transcribed & edited around 200 letters that I wrote home during WWII, letters that mother saved. You should do this for your children.

My uncle was part of the 11th Armored Division and was killed in action at the Battle of the Bulge. His Name was Wilbur A. Hochman PFC. I am doing my best to find information about him but it has been spotty. I think he was in the 55th armored infantry battalion and I think he died between 12/31/44 and 1/31/45. He was from Chicago and had three sisters and a brother. I would appreciate any information I can get. Thanks! God Bless Our Military!

(391) I am searching for my grandfather. He could be a member of the 11th division in WWII. My grandmother was working in Austria, M?nzkirchen until the year 1945. My mother was born in February 1946. It is very important for me to find my grandfather, because he is a part of my family. Perhaps my grandfather is still living?
This man on the picture could be my grandfather. I only have this picture, nothing else. Please who can help me? Thank you.

Hi. I've written before because not only was my father, Eli Warach, a member (in fact, he was president at the time of his death in 2001), but I have been writing about WW II, liberators, etc. for several years. I am now in the process of writing an article on liberators in the Houston, TX area. If anyone can point me in the right direction to interview people in this area, I'd love it. Thanks!

He lost his "collar brass". They were rhomboid shaped with a tank on each one - no rifles or swords. Does anyone know of a source where I can purchase these?

Jules G Musyl
11th Armored Div. Thunderbolt
55th AIB, Company A
Served 1943-1945
I see from his scrapbook that he was in Austria, Russia, England, etc.during these years. I believe he was a staff sgt, but not sure. There are also pictures from bases in Madison, WI and Salt Lake City, UT.
He was very tall, 6'4" so I'm sure he would have been memorable. Hoping to find anyone who may have known him during that time. He did not talk much about the war until he became ill in 1978.

My father is Joseph R. Sweeney. 11th Armored Division - B Troop. He served overseas, was wounded in action and received a Purple Heart. I went to several reunions with my parents over the years and am wondering if any of the troop still get together for their reunions. Dad passed away 5-20-1987. I was unable to obtain his military records because of the fire in 1973. They tell me that his records may have been destroyed. I would be interested in hearing from anyone who would have information about my father. We are trying to put together his military record and information. Thanks for any help or correspondence.

Hello,
My grandfather Leo Guerrettaz just past away this week. Before he passed he told me some stories from the war. He was a tank gunner, I have papers from where he was promoted to corporal in the 55 armored infantry battalion. I think he was promoted again but I am not sure. I have a picture of him and some others with their tank. I would like to know if he received any awards or medals during his service, he didn't like talking about the war much. I am trying to gather information on his military service to make a small memorial for him. I have been able to find a picture on here that was also in a book that he knew the men in the picture. If anyone has heard their fathers or grandfathers talk of my grandfather I would like to hear from you.

My father, Sgt. Ralph Edwin Snowberger, past away Aug. 2006. Before he died, he told me of a son he had in 1948,named Joseph Edwin Snowberger. Joseph would be 59 or 60 yrs. old, and he was born in North Rhine-Westphalia area. Does anyone have suggestions on how I could locate him??? Just trying to put my heart and mind to ease!

Sincerely, Ron Snowberger

Although I apoligize for the delay I regret to anounce the passing of my father Joseph Fiteni (D 22nd Tank)in July of 2007. At a very early age dad made it clear the importance that his role in the 11th and in the battles that they faced had a profound effect on him.
He and mom always looked forward to reunions when they were able to travel! On behalf of the family thank you for keeping this part of the "greatest generation alive"

My dad was one of those great boy/men who served in Europe during WWII. He was stationed in Iceland building and maintaining airfields then went to France. He has never talked about it much until now and he is confused about dates and which units he was with. He has mentioned the 56th Engineers Company C 2nd Platoon. Also the 475th Engineers and the 17th Ground Force Replacement Center. He says he shipped out of New York on Dec 23rd 1941 and left for home in March of 1944. His name was Perry Brown. Can anyone help with more information. I would love to be able to share this with siblings and grandkids.
Thanks to all who did serve or are serving today. So far I have a son-in-law and a grandson proudly serving their country.

I was born in Mauthausen on 29 April 1945. My mother, Anna Bergman, says that '100s' of photos. were taken of us by US soldiers but we have never found any. We would be most grateful to hear of the existence of any mother and baby photos. Our story features in the Thunderbolt.

We were recently given many of my father-in-laws medals and shoulder sleeve insignias. I am earnestly attempting to identify and chronicle his efforts for our family. Does any one have good online info about how to identify odd medals and patches. I've been to the army recruiters and have perused many "medal sites", but I still have several that remain mystery medals/patches.

I was wondering if you could point me in the right direction. I'm looking for all the information on my grandfather's military history as possible. I do know that he was a corporal in the 11th armored division 3rd army. I know he was in Patton's 3rd army throughout the whole duration of that war. I know his enlist and discharge dates but this is as far as it goes. I wish I could of gotten this information from him before he died in 2004. However like many veterans of WWII he didn't like to talk about it. Any help in this matter would greatly be appreciated. His name was Harold E. Fangmeier, he either enlisted in Mason Co. IL or Peoria, IL.

My Father was Matthew Ostrowski. He was an MP in the 11th Armored Division and was at the battle of the Bulge. I find myself looking at this website today on Feb 20, 2008. Tomorrow Feb. 21 will be the first anniversary of my Dear Dad's Death. He lived to be 95. When he was younger he didn't talk much about the War but as he got older he talked about it daily.
Dad was a great man. He was a Buffalo Policeman and retired as a Captain. I am now a Lieutenant in the Buffalo Police department.My Dad always said that it took his daughter to follow in his footsteps. My brothers chose other occupations.
I must say that my Father and also my Mother are surely members of the Greatest Generation. They grew up during the depression and were both very poor. They worked hard and were decent honorable people who taught their children to be the same and taught by example.
I know that my parents are only 2 of those people and that you genltemen are also of that generation. I would like to thank all of you for everything you have done to make this world that you have passed down to your children such a phenomenal place.
I have had the opportunity to travel to Eurpoe several times and each time I come home I realize just what a great country America is. I know that I have you men, many of whom were young boys when you fought for our counrty, to thank.
From the bottom of the heart of a daughter of a Soldier in the 11th Armored Division.......THANKYOU !

(346) I have been going through paperwork from my grandfather?s service in Bravo (B) Battery, 491st Armored Field Artillery Battalion during WWII, in the attempt to produce a booklet for my Grandmother, Mother and Sister to have as mementos, as my Grandfather passed away in 1989. I have very little information on his service (since he refused to talk openly about it, which for obvious resaons, is the case with all older veterns. His name was William "Bill" E. Coplin, and at the time of his discharged he was the rank of TEC 4. He entered into active service on 6 Nov 42, and 14 Nov 1945 was his separation date from Carson Colorado Hospital Center. I have his medals which include the Good Conduct Ribbon, WWII Victory Ribbon, EAME Ribbon w/ 3 Bronze Service Stars, Purple Heart w/ 2 Stars and the ATCM (?). I know it?s pretty improbable, but if there are any other photos,information, or possibly someone who served with him...I would greatly appreciate any information.

My grandfather,PFC Charles F. Fletcher, who passed away before I was one, served with C 63rd AIB. It is my understanding that on Apr. 9th 1945 he was near Wiedersbach, Germany looking for his brother, Malcolm (unk which unit). He was in front of our lines and was shot and captured by German forces (possibly SS). He was eventually rescued and was sent home. Anyone who knew him or has additional information please write me. I am in the Army and look upon all vets with honor. God Bless you all.

I have the group picture from my father of Company D, 63rd Bn, Camp Barkeley, Texas circa June(?) 1943 if anyone is interested in finding a loved one in the photo, I will e-mail copy to you. I would also like to hear from anyone out there that would have any memories of my Dad. His name was C.B.Barbary from Greer, SC. He often went by the nickname "Bob" because he had only intials as his name. I know that he was in the Medical Replacement Training Center at Barkeley from about June 1943 until Overseas deployment in Sept 1944 (?). He was for sure at Southampton, England in 1944 and I believe went on to Cherbourg, France.

Hi my Grandfather served with company B of the 811th TD Batt. First and foremost God Bless Veterans! My Grandfather Raymond Oscar Hofmann. or Bill was with a 11th Armored Division. I know he trained in Fort Hood Texas. I know he was on the second wave at Omaha beach, also fought in the Battle of the Bulge, and the Seigfreid Line. He also went through St.Lo, where I believe his tank was hit when he was not in it.(Possibly his commanders life was taken here) Pictures from a book called "THINK".

Dad was from Oklahoma, and the guys called him "pop" as he was 28 years old when they shipped out to North Africa and most of the guys were 19 or 20. Dad died in a tractor accident back in 1980.

I was wondering if anyone here can help me with some research. I write children?s books, and I am beginning a historical fiction book on the liberators and survivors of Mathausen. My premise is an American soldier befriending a young man from the camp after liberation. Of course, it is fictional, but I need some background to write this. I will be interviewing people, but I was hoping someone here could suggest specific sites to go to or specific people to interview. I?m mainly looking to see what the protocol after the war was. Where did the survivors go? Was there anything done for the young ones?
I grew up hearing stories of the Eleventh Armored Division from my father, Eli Warach of the 42nd Tank Battalion; Company D. He happened to be president of your group at the time of his death in 2001. I still have copies of the beautiful tributes many of you had written. I have written essays having to do with the Battle of the Bulge and the subsequent liberation of Mathausen based on his and others? remarks, but since I mainly write for children, I am now working on this upper elementary picture book.
Any suggestions to help with research would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

To anyone in the 11th AD/CCR/55th AIB/Co. A-

I happened to read Wm. Fee's diary about his experiences through Europe during WWII, and saw mention of my father, ANGELO MAGELLI- at least, I assume it was my father. I know he was in the 11th AD, and I don't think there were too many Angelo Magelli's. In the diary, he has the nickname "Doc", which I had never heard before. My mother says he was a medic, but, how did he then end up as 1st. Sgt. of an infantry company? Unfortunately, the diary ends before the date when my father was wounded and finished with the war. Does anyone know how to contact Mr. Fee or have any additional information about my Dad so I might fill in some blanks about his life? My dad died several years ago, so I can get no stories from him.

If you get notice of this comment, please contact me. My name is Roger Schulman and it's quite possible your father knew my father, Cpl. Hyman I Schulman of Company A, 55th AIB. I am writing a book about my parents' wartime correspondence and would appreciate hearing from you. You may contact me at ohrogerchester@gmail.com.

I'm looking for information about my grandfather's time in Company A of the 56th Armored Infantry Div. Rhineland and Central Europe. At Fame Theatre he was wounded. And he told a story of using wench trucks to lift all equipment and vehicles out of a dead end canyon. He was a Auto Mechanic 014 combat infantryman and we know he entered the service in Tulsa, OK in 1942. His name was P.J. Robinson.

If anyone knows anything about his division or knew him, please contact me at nscheffler[at]gmail.com

I am an author of a book on a Spanish survivor of the Mauthausen death camp. In interviews, the survivor describes being assigned to a work detail outside Mauthausen when he met approaching U.S. forces, most likely the 26th Infantry and/or 11th Armored Divisions. He speaks at length about a deep friendship he developed with an Army official named Ramon Navarro (Novarro/Nobarro/Nabarro?), who assisted as an interpreter when the survivor was debriefed outside of the Mauthausen prior to the assault on the town and camp.

I would be very much interested in getting in touch with this soldier, if he is living. The only information I have about this officer is that he was among the U.S. forces to liberate Mauthausen, and was Hispanic, fluent in Spanish. The survivor believed he was adorned with 4 stripes, but this may be inaccurate.

If Ramon could be identified and located, I would be willing to fly the survivor up from Bolivia at my own expense to reunite captive and liberator, possibly for your next reunion.

I would be extremely grateful for your help.

Have just found this site. Should have done this years ago. My dad, George Pawlo of Jersey City, NJ served in Company B, 42nd Battalion. He passed away in 1963. He was a SGT and received a purple heart. He never said much about his service time. Would like to have information on how to find service details and/or if photos exist. Cannot find him in any photos on this site. I saw March 2007 posting about full company picture ?? is this available yet ?? Thanks to all in advance

My dad, Walter White from Boston, Mass. served in C Co., 63rd AIB, 11th AD from Fall 1944 to VE Day. Prior to that he was with the AAF in England driving trucks and loading planes. Would greatly appreciate hearing from anyone who served with him. He passed away in 1968 so we know little of his war experience, other than what we have gleaned from letters he wrote home to our Grandmother from. I'm at wcw188@aol.com. Eternally grateful for your service and our freedom.

My late father, Marvin Krumholz of Newark, NJ, was in the 11th Armored Division. I just watched the Ken Burns' documentary "The War" and heard the remarks of former division member Burnett Miller of Sacramento. Many of the recollections of Mr. Miller were familiar as my father used to tell me and my brothers about his time in the Army and The Battle of the Bulge. I would be very happy to hear from anyone who knew my Dad. My email address is mfkrumholz@yahoo.com.

My father Clarence Deutsch fought in the Battle of the Bulge. He recently passed away. I wish we would have known about this website before. Over the years he told good and bad stories of the times in war. I think, but am not sure, that he was in the 41st Calvary Recon. He was very close to his grandchildren and we would like as much information as possible about anyone who knew him during the war. I was substitute teaching in a 3rd grade class and they were reading the book "The Flag with Fifty-Six Stars" and I was blessed to hear the 11th Armored Division. The book is incredible. I cried as we finished reading it. Any information would be great!!

My father, Private Nicholas J. Orban, served with the 11th Armored Division from November 1942 until his discharge in June 1946. I know that he was in Europe from Feb 1945 until June 1946. I would love to correspond with anyone that may have knew him. Thank you!

I am the sixty year old nephew of Adolph Jastrzemski. Adolph was a gunner on a Hellcat Tank Destroyer. He fought in Bastogne, as well as other places in Europe. He received his training at Camp Hood, Texas. He is 82 years old and belonged to the 705 Tank destroyer batallion.

I am currently in the process of conserving the letters that my grandfather, Anthony J. Curcio, from Brooklyn, NY, wrote my grandmother and great-grandmother from 1943-1946. He was in the 11th AD, 22nd Tank Battalion, B Company. If anyone knows, or has heard of my grandfather, please contact me. I never knew him, he passed away in 1955 when my mother was 7.

(307) My Dad, Bob Kinsley, of Belleville, NJ, served in the 11th Armor, 42nd Tank Division, Company B, during WWII.

I would love to have more pictures. Sadly, a lot of his WWII books that he gave me were ruined in storage. I remember looking at them all the time when I was young. Any photos would be greatly appreciated. I saw his picture posted with Leo Zamparelli on your members photos section of your website.

Dad was very proud of the division that he served in and so are we! Dad passed away on August 22, 1995 after a long illness.

I would love to hear from other people or their families that served with my Dad. My Mom, Charlotte Kinsley, is still alive and lives out here in Arkansas by me. Thanks. I will be looking for emails!

My father drove ambulance for the 480th Motor Ambulance Company. I just thought I would let anyone interested know that the surviving members hold their annual reunion in Kentucky. Last years was held in Paducah, KY. This year's reunion will be held at Kenlake State Resort Park in Kentucky (Land Between the Lakes). These reunions are held over the Labor Day weekend every year.

I am trying to find any information on my father his name was Paul Benjamin Davis. We did not know that he even fought in WW II until I found a box of pictures last year.

Here is my website with the pictures of my father that we found. We knew he fought in Korea. I hope by these pictures someone can help me.
