Dear Stuart,
Great to see this note about your father's service in the 133rd. My father too, was a member of that same Engineer Battalion. At present I am engaged in a research project and have many details to share. I've also been interviewing surviving members over the years. We just lost Lt. Col. John C. Simcik who was captured at Lusigny.
Please let me know if your father would welcome a phone conversation or perhaps a visit ( depending on where you live of course! I live in Vermont.
With all the best regards and with utmost respect for what your father endured during that terrible time.
Eric Aho, son of Tech5 David A. Aho 133rd Armored Combat Engineers
