And all I've got was that the Franz Haniel XI was a German Tug "acquired" by US troops to assist in river work. Scapped in 1960, built 1902.

 

My grandfather was in that area of the Ruhr and Rhine. I'll check the the roster for the 280th for a patterson.

 

I can't even begin to tell you the number of engineering units in this area though. First name would help the search! OR his military records from the vault would SAY who he's assigned to.
