Hi, wondering if there is anyone out there who served during the cold war,specifically early 1950's, with the 56th ENG BN who may remember my dad Harold (aka Red) Herzberg.

Regarding the Koehler 63rd Armored Infantry Battalion photos. My father S/Sgt. Thomas McNally C. Co / 63rd AIB was also good friends with S/Sgt. Frank Erbio KIA 1.13.45. I also have photos of Sgt. Erbio's gravesite having visited there in 2005. I would welcome the opportunity to speak with anyone with any additional photos or information pertaining to C Company 63rd AIB of the 11th AD.

I writing on behalf of by Ralph Angione who is watching me type this for him. He served in Company C 22nd Tank Battalion. He thanks the Lord he still here is has used in him as a preacher/teacher of Gospel of Jesus Christ

I saw a note in Google asking about my Dad's Division during WWII. My Dad was in Patton's 3rd Army 11th Armored Division. Anyone that cares to contact me I am more than happy to talk about my Dad and how proud he was serving our country. From his Loving Daughter, Susan for PFC Willard T. Barrowman

We were just going thru some of my mother's old scrapbooks. I came across some of my father's paperwork from when he was in the Army, his promotion orders dated 23 Apr 1943 and signed by Thomas N. Stark Colonel 41st Armored Regiment. My father, Harold W. Logan, is deceased now, but his great-grandson just joined the Army. This makes the fourth generation to serve this country.

Hello, My grandfather was in the 11th armored division. SSGT Claudius A. Wold, from North Dakota and still lives in North Dakota. If there is anyone out there reading this , I sure would appreciate any information you might have about Grandpa. my email address is faithrehling@yahoo.com. Thank you

I am searching for William P. Butler (ASN 35449427), member of Co. B, 21 st Arm. Bn.. He was at the Battle of the Bulge. Probably he was seriously wounded as his place of separation was Thayer General Hospital (Nashville, Tennessee). He enlisted in 1942 in Huntington, West Virginia.
Looking forward to hearing from anyone who can provide details on him/his next of kin.
Thanks in advance,
Best regards,
Antoine

When the snow sweeps thru the northern states at this time of year, I think back to those days of cold & misery and give thanks that so many of us survived. I toast you this December and trust your health is at least on a plateau and not degrading. After all, the best we can expect at our age is a plateau. And remember that at our age "Living is a full time job."

To Whom It May Concern,

I am trying to find out some information on my late uncle, Cpl Thomas Benjamin Snow, who was from Lima Ohio. I found a photo of him wearing the 11th patch on his right sleeve in two photos and I know tha he was an infantryman.

My uncle was murdered in 1957 so I never knew him and I am trying to find someone he served with to learn more about him. His discahrge reflects his later service with the Office of Military Government in Berlin from late 1945 - 1946.

He is credited with the Rhineland Campaign and the award of the CIB, but that is about as much as I know. I am attaching a photo taken of him after the war when he was in the reserves in the hopes someone might recognize him. I would be grateful for any help.

Sincerely,

Robert B. Snow

My dad Reinhold Schneider was with the 11th armored as best as I can tell from his papers that I have. I heard stories that he was infantry, and somewhere in the battles he started driving halftrack. If anyone knew my father please contact me as he like many did not discuss the war and I would like to learn about what happened to my dad. He died in 1970 from a farming accident in Wisconsin.

My father, Bruce Huish was in Troop B, 41 Cavalry Recon Squadron Mechanized. He passed away 10/2001.
Wish I would have found this site much earlier. He always had stories about his service, and attended reunions throughout the country.

I was noticing from the list that attended the reunion recently that there was a George Baur who was in the 490th AFA. My father, Frank Hass, was in the 490th as well. I was wondering if there is any way that maybe Mr. Baur knoew of my father. I have a picture of my father with two men in southern France, and I do not know who they are. My father passed away Jan. 21, 2008. If I can get in contact with Mr. Baur, please let me know.

We are looking for any information regarding my Grandfather Gregorio Gomez, he was 41st Cavalry Recon Sqdn. I hope this finds someone that can help or remembers.

Technician Fourth Grade Alexander Kertok, Mess Sergeant with the 713th Tank Battalion, Headquarters Company, who served on Okinawa, passed away on Friday, August 14th at the age of 92. After the war, he married and raised two sons. He is survived by his wife of 62 years, two sons, two grandsons, and three great grandsons.

As I read the postings on the bulletin board, I am struck by the many later generations who are seeking info on their ancestor who fouight in WWII. If you haven't written your story & memos of that era you are doing your family and others are disservice. So get busy while you have time!

Today, August 6, 2009, my family buried my grandfather, Robert Barrow. He was a proud member of the 11th Armored Division. He was also a loving husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, and a real American hero. He spoke so fondly of his fellow soldiers.

DO YOU REMEMBER CAMP BARKELEY HOSPITAL?
I am doing research on the Barkeley Station Hospital and would like to confirm the location of the Emergency entrance, X-ray department, Nurses' quarters, and Administrative entrance. Also was the large building just to the west of the hospital a movie theater?

If you can confirm or correct any of the locations in the accompanying aerial photo, please email me.

A better quality photo and also a postcard photo are located at:

My dad was in the 276th armored field artillery .Was discharged june 30 th 1946. His name is Fred c Barton.
He is gone now . But he had many stories from that time. Thanks for reading.

My dad Paul Parichuk who served in the 492nd Field Artillery from 1942 to 1946 passed away on July 10, 2009.

This guy 's name is David W. Houston, Jr.
He was living in Aberdeen, Mississippi.
During the war he was in an Armored Division but we don't know what division ?
After Christmas 1944, he was billeted for 2 to 3 days in the Mernier Family at Bernimont, a tiny village close to Neufch?teau, Belgium.
Do you maybe know him and do you know what was his former unit ?

My father Maj Leo F Kelly, Quartermaster Corps, trained with the 11th in the US. He spent the European campaign with the XIX Corps.

i am looking for any info on my dad. arthur c swartz he was with company a 22nd tank bn. he was wounded before the bulge.

I discovered this site through my Great Uncle who found out I was interested in history, especially concerning WWII. My Step Great Grandfather, Grandpa Albert, aka Albert Foret, served in the 11th Armored Division, and though I did have the chance to meet him, I was very little and don't really remember him. I never really got the chance to talk to him about his time in the service and would love to find out more about him. If anyone can maybe offer me any stories or tidbits about him or of his travels during his time in the 11th, I would be very thankful!Thanks and God bless!

i found your link on the homapage of the memorial of mauthausen!! i only want to send the soldiers, which stopped the killing in mauthausen, a big "thank you and god bless you"!!!! we should never forgett what happened at that time and we should never forgett the us army, which stopped that terrible part of our history!! thank you very much! greetings from austria

I am trying to find out if there is anyone still alive who can share any stories about my father pfc Gail Nelson Blakely-he was a member of the 575th and told very little to his wife Esther, ,or any of his seven children.

I have tried for years to find a site that has free access, I just am curious if someone could tell me anything??

Here is what we know:
he was a gunner repair man on a half track
he freed prisoners at a concentration camp
he was 18 when he entered the war

from all we hear he knew how to make danishes???

he was married for 34 years, and most of his battalion mates are from Ohio.

Thomas Camby from Ohio was one of his closest friends from the war.

he died in 1986 and he is my greatest hero because of his military service.
He had me when he was 47 years old and he would be 85 in September if he was still living.
the picture is of me, my sister, Lori Gayle, and my wife-whom he never met.

Any antedotal stories or battle stories from anyone would be greatly appreciated

I just discovered this site as a result of an organization in Philadelphia for WWII Vets. I guess I am doing the same as a lot of folks I see in trying to locate anyone that may have known my Dad during the time he served with the 11th Armored Division. He passed away in 96, but I have been getting more involved in all of the things that he just could never speak of as a 19 year old in combat. His name is Willard T. Barrowman. Anyone that recalls him please feel free to e-mail me!
His Loving Daughter, Sue

My Dad, Rudy Deuter, served in WWII, 11th Armored Division. I have one of his uniforms that I am interested in selling.
Anybody know what the best way/where the best venue is to go about this?
Thank you.

Hello my name is Jerry Coburn,son of Charles Coburn.Dad is gone now,and so is most of his history in the 11th.I guess i was hoping someone might have seen his name in some pictures or text on the 11th.Thank You J.C

My Great Uncle Robley C. Reher served in the 11th armored in WWII. I know he met with his fellow comrades before he passed away in 2001. I was wondering if any still meet in the Chino, CA area. If so i would love to meet them. I currently working on my masters and plan on teaching history. I would love to talk with those who served so that one day i may convey to my students the importance of the greatest generation. Any help or direction would be so very appreciated.

If Johnny Lettini or Syd Meyer are still alive, please contact me. I am Ray cohen's son. You may call me at 678-778-6963.

And by the way, thank you for your service at the Buldge and beyond...you are the greatest Americans our history has known.

Allen Cohen

I've recently begun researching the military service of my great uncle and I'm trying to locate anyone that may have known him.

His name is SSGT Elmer R. Miller from Wisconsin. He was a Tank Commander in the 22nd Tank Battalion, 11th Armored Division. Elmer was KIA on January 5, 1945 during the Battle of the Bulge. He is buried in the Luxembourg American Cemetery.

I would be extremely grateful for any information.

I JUST FOUND THIS WEBSITE...I'M JIM SPEAR'S DAUGHTER. Does anyone remember Big Jim Spear? Please e-mail me.

My father Art "Jake" Axmear of Cedar Rapids, IA served in the 11th Armoured Division. I believe he drove a truck and played tenor sax in the company band. He passed away in '04 and we miss him dearly. Other than expressing fondness for his old friends & comrades he never spoke of the war. Our family would love to hear from anyone who knew him.

Keep up your great work!

HR 1818 is a bill To amend title 10, United States Code, to extend military commissary and exchange store privileges to veterans with a compensable service-connected disability and to their dependents. Currently it has been referred to the House Armed Services Committee, Subcommittee on Military Personnel. I urge everyone to contact their U.S. Congressional Representative to show support for this benefit for our vets. Don't let this bill die in committee.

My dad, Robert A. Vogel, was in Battery A of the 491st Armored Field Artillery Battalion. He never talked much about his experiences in the war, but reading the history of the 491st just now was very interesting. He died in 1998.

My grandfather, Frank Logozzo, was with the 11th at the Battle of the Bulge. He passed away 2 weeks ago and now we are all kicking ourselves for not writing down any of his stories. As I struggle with this loss, I have also come to realize that his passing signifies the end of an era, not only for me but for our country. Men of his generation are a different breed aqnd I know that if the generations of today had half the pride and work ethic he had, we may not be facing such hard time now. To all of you who are left from this era, I truly thank you and appreciate all you have sacrificed. I wish I had told my grandfather that.

Delving into the 11th AD from my father's day's as a tank commander during WWII. His name was Stanley W. Gazda...

Looking for information about My Uncle William (Bill) Reap. He served under Gen. Holbrook CCA. He mentions my uncle in a story printed in The Tunderbolt new letter."The Tight Spot". He was from Scranton, Pa but move to New York city. He past away 1969 and have lost contact with his family. I have his Thunderbolt book and a 1955 newsletter. Any information would be greatly appreciated

Looking for anyone who served with Charles Abraham. He srerved with Company B, 55th AIB during WWII

My Uncle, Walter Trought served with the 11th Armored during the Battle of the Bulge. I do not know what unit he belonged to because he never spoke of the war. If anyone knew him I would appreciate any information you could give me about his unit, what the unit did, and any stories you might remember. My Uncle died quite a few years ago and anything you could give would fill in some of the gaps.

I am currently doing some research on my grandfather, Elliott E. Lanier (Earl)Georgia, PFC, 778th Tank battallion, 11th Armored Division, Company D. I have a lot of pictures of his time during the war. I have pictures of him and friends at the 11th Batallion Recreation Hall, loading the U.S.S. Clairmont, in Czechlosvkia and Austria. I have just began my intensive research and would appreciate any help or assistance. My grandfather never felt like a hero, he always said that those men who died during the war were the real heroes, so I guess that is why he never felt like telling stories about his time in the war. I have a picture in which he wrote down some of the men's names. The men in the picture are as follows:

T4- McJay(Iowa)
Sgt. Van De Hey ? (Wis)
Sgt. Nass (Ill)?
T5 Cook (N.J.)
PFC Brewer (N.Y)
PFC Sitter(Mich)
T5 Buchs (Wis)
PFC Blackwell(ILL)
PFC Wilbur (Mass)
T4 Musitano (Pa)
T4 Timmian (Minn)
Harold Moen (Iowa)
Louis Spanish? (N.Y.)
Seraphain Fidow? (N.Y)
Feel free to contact me via email with any information on these men or my grandfather. Thanks

I am looking for information on my Father-in-law, PFC Henry Dudziec. He was from the Greenpoint section of Brooklyn, New York, and served in the 11th at the Battle of the Bulge. As he was the typical soldier who kept his war experiences to himself, his daughter (my wife Allison) would love some info on this early part of his life. This past February was the 4th anniversary of his passing at age 79. Please drop a line if you can help me out....

Thanks so much,

Hello,
I am looking for information about my grandfather, Earl M. Gibb. I believe he was in the 492d AFA. I'm just curious if anybody knew him, and if so, would be willing to share any stories they may have.
Thanks.

If Roy Duncan still visits this site, could you please contact me? Upon a further search of the site, I discovered you served in the same unit as my great-uncle (Michael Chernansky). I was wondering if you knew him? THANK YOU!!!

Hi - I'm looking for any information about Michael Chernansky (from Pennsylvania), who was my dad's uncle. He was in unit C21AIB and was KIA on April 3, 1945, at age 24 or 25. My dad was only 8 when his beloved Uncle Mike died and would appreciate any info anyone can share. I don't believe my family has any pictures of him, but Michael was very tall, about 6'8".

My family would be so grateful if anyone who knew our uncle would share a memory with us. Thank you!

Letter received by mail - I wish to share here (Vic at Buzz Creek)

Recently Received from Mrs Harry DeSoto of PO Box 11086 Tacoma, WA 98411-0086

(Included with a request for a replacement DVD of Mauthhausen that did not play - am sending now)

Harry was in the 491st Field Artillary. There were there (at Mauthausen) ad were even hugged by prisoners. He said he really knew why he was there that day.
He has some photos in Germany of tanks and rivers(?). I don't know if any are interesting enough to print more. He wonders if any 491st men are still living. Hrry is 87.

He entered the army in 1942. Went through Frnce, Belgium, Germany, Luxemburg near Chezekstonm(?). Is there a log of the 491st travels? Or battery C? Thanks you - Mrs Harry DeSoto

(I worked in the shipyards the whole time on aircraft carriers. his hearing is so bad he can't enjoy movies, music, visiting at all. He now gets compensation.)

My father, Glenn Fankhauser served in the 11th Armored Div,Troop B,41st Cav.
during World War II. I am interested in hearing from anyone who knew my dad.

Looking for any information on a Mr. Robert Godwin who is with the Division from 1942-45. I will be doing an interview with Mr. Godwin soon and am trying to do some research on his history.

Im not sure but i heard from my Grandfather that i may be related to Heinrich Himmler. I have been increasingly more intriged in finding out about my antcestors and my family back round. P.S. im only on myspace...i dont have a working E mail.

I just sent this note to Mr. Vine who wanted a copy of one of the DVD's about the 11th AD. .... I wish him well. I wish you all a Blessed Season.

Dear Mr. Vine

Enclosed are the DVD's you asked about.
I am including some extras you might enjoy and want to share with friends.

I normally charge $20 each in advance but this is a Christmas gift to you. I you'd like to send money to the 11thAD Association for their general fund I would be honored that you do that rather than send me a check.
(address included)

Merry Christmas,

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.

http://picasaweb.google.com/HartmansDK/AaronMTeeple#

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 WAS IN THE 11TH ARMORED DIVISION IN WWII AND MY DAUGHTER IN LAW FOUND THIS WEB SITE. HELLO TO ALL MY ARMY FREINDS.

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! What a wonderful website. My grandfather Clarence William Thomas was part of the 11th. I am trying to piece together his military service. I would love to hear from anyone who knew him or any advice on how to start researching his military history.
God Bless Our Troops!
A grateful citizen, Juli

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.

God bless all of our American veterans, on this 2008 Veteran's Day. Especially the members of the 11th Armored Division! My dad, Jim Burkemper,SV battery, 490th AFA, passed in 1999. He always stood and saluted the flag, and was proud of his association with his comrades.

My previous post I miss spelled my uncle's name, it's Hockman not Hochman.

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!

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.

Just googled 480th Ambulance & came up with this site & a post from 6/28/07 from Tom Karnes. My dad, too, was ambulance driver for 480th & have a few pictures. I have been trying to get info on the 480th for some time with no avail. This is the first. Anyone who can help route me to someplace for historical records, pictures, would be appreciated.

My dear Father passed away last week. He was such a proud American and taught me to be just like him. Please keep us in your thoughts. Kelly

My father, Harold N. Hicks served with the 11th AD, 63rd AIB. He never talked about the war and I never asked him aout it. He passed away in 1999. I would love to hear from anyone who may have served with him.
