  Revamped Main Site - NEW LOOK!!!!
Posted by: Walt's Daughter - 06-16-2017, 01:38 PM - Forum: MARION'S NEWS n UPDATES n BABBLINGS... - Replies (3)


Well, it's been in the works - a revamping of the main site. Let's face it, it was getting old and it no longer matched the forum and gallery. So over the last several days, I've been working on a new format/design/layout. I hope you like it. 


It's being uploaded as I type, so it will probably take an hour or so for all the templates and pages to upload. 


Over the next month or so, I will be removing any outdated links, so thanks for your patience. It's a huge job. Little by little we are getting there.

  360th Engr. GS Regt.
Posted by: Scott Randolph - 06-10-2017, 05:07 PM - Forum: LOOKING FOR... - Replies (13)


I have tried to determine which Division the 360th Engr. GS Regt. was in/attached in April - October, 1944 without success.  The unit was involved in repairing ports, etc. in St. Malo, Cancale, Brieve before moving on to Brest. My stepbrother was in that unit at that time and his records were almost totally destroyed in the 1973 fire at the National Personnel Records Center, St. Louis, Mo.  He is now deceased.  His final payment work sheet prepared at the time of his discharge on 11-14-45 showed him as being in the 264th Infantry Regt. which was part of the 66th Infantry Division.  However, part of that Division only sailed for England on 11-15-44 and the remainder on 12-01-44 and the 360th was not listed as being part of that Division at that time.  That has left me wondering about his Division during April - October 1944.


Hopefully, some reading this will have the answer.


Thanks,


Kirk

This sounds awesome - and it's a story I hadn't heard of before. It is the story of the German POWs that were used to clear millions of land mines from the Danish coast. The movie focuses on a small group of young (and I do mean young) POWs that had to clear a certain beach for 40,000 or so mines. When they were done, they could go home - not everyone made it. Looking forward to watching it!
