Christoph, it is late and man did I need a big laugh! You are great!
I had a lot happen while the site was down. Well, by that I mean another incredible thing. I am so thrilled I can hardly stand it. I can't wait to hear what you think. I talked to 2 men who were in the 97th Division, 303rd Regiment, who were in the battle of Siegburg! Neither were in Co. B which were the men who actually went up to the Abbey, but these are great men and willing to share their experiences and knowledge! I am soooo excited! These were the guys that were on the South while 386th and 387th were father to the East on their invasion of Siegburg. I hope to go visit them. I will tell you more as time permits.
I wonder if where they came into Siegburg is where Dad went out. Time will reveal it, I am confident.
NARA in St. Louis has some records I requested. But I have to go there, and Mom is not doing good. Just got the call from NARA today. It is info on a few of the flight crews and a couple of the men buried at Siegburg and also on McClara who I believe was a prisoner there and at Waldbrol.
Bye for the moment,
JJ
