M1: Maybe you or others can help answer some questions.
In the Salerno Report, which General Gardes wrote in 1959, he comments on a chapter of the Engineers in the War Against Germany. Was he referring to a draft of the book The Corps of Engineers: The War Against Germany, published much later in 1985?
Also in his cover letter to Mr. Remington, Gardes says the history of the 36th written by an officer is misleading or contrary to his personal knowledge. Is this the 17-page history from the Adjutant? Or is there another history someone compiled on the 36th Engineers (aside from sitreps)?
And do you know who is Col. Shotwell that conducted the Gardes/Chubbuck interview?
Both of these papers are very interesting.
