Whew! Lots of questions. That's how I was in the beginning too. Couldn't get enough info and fast enough! Been there, done that!

 

The 257th was a "bastard" unit, meaning they weren't part of a division. They were an independent engineering unit, just like my dad's unit, the 540th. They would have been under the "direction" of an Army Group or Corps.

 

In this post you will see that smosc already has many pages of the unit's official history from NARA in Maryland, so you should contact him directly through PM via the forum.

No sense in duplicating someone's work. I'm sure he'd be happy to share info with you.

 

More in a second....
