  87th Inf Div in Walsheim
Posted by: Walt's Daughter - 11-17-2017, 03:03 PM - Forum: LOOKING FOR... - Replies (3)

Hello,
I am a private person from Walsheim saargebiet Germany, looking for our club images and movie recordings
from entering the American armed forces in Walsheim
87. Infant.Div. ; December 1944
can you help me?

Viele Grüße
Peter Leiner

============


I wrote back saying this might be difficult and we talked back and forth a few times. He later wrote:


 


Hello Marion, 
I found out that there is footage of the "Operation Nordwind" from the time Dec.1944-March 1945 from the region Nord-Elsass (lorraine), right next to my place Walsheim. Could you please inquire whether there is some material for this operation of Walsheim? Many Thanks.
Peter


 




 




 


I told him to contact the association to see if they could assist.

  NEW! SAVING THE STORIES OF WWII VETERANS
Posted by: Walt's Daughter - 11-17-2017, 02:17 PM - Forum: Announcements, Get Well Wishes & Farewells - No Replies


Many thanks to Karen Culler for sharing this with all of us.


 


SAVING THE STORIES OF WWII VETERANS - From Ancestry.com

Help us record the story of WWII, as told by the people who lived it.
The memories of our veterans paint a more vivid picture than any history book. But with each year, as veterans pass on, their stories are lost, too.


Together, we can change that. Send us a video, documenting their experiences of the war and preserve this history before it slips away.
