My father was in the 36th Engineers and at the end of the war transferred to the 304th. I have blue prints of a bridge he designed that went over the Danube July 1945. It says on the plans "Autobahn bypass bridge across the Danube River. Vic. in Goldstadt." Blueprints are light sensitive so it's amazing it's still readable. I still have the seahorse and engineers pin. Cudos to you for doing this site!

How did you find my website?   Web search Where are you from?   Rochester Hills, Michigan Please enter your comments:   My father, Richard B. Koch (still with us), was a Corporal (ended up a Sargent while en route to the Pacific) in the 1301st Engineers, Company C. As a company clerk (was referred to as "Bubbles" because he also ran the switchboard) during the preparations for D-Day, he volunteered for motorcycle courier duties (the guys in the Motor Pool painted "Krash Koch" on the third motorcycle he drew). In Germany, classified as a "construction foreman", Dad built Bailey Bridges, took them out later and built wooden replacements. Among other things, he cleared roads of mines, fixed sewers and cleared up after the spearhead. I'd appreciate hearing any information or recollections about these activities, hopefully, even from others who may have known him. Thanks for the great site. Carolyn Koch

My cousin, Pvt Ralph Leslie is one of your honored dead. He was an only child and both his parents are deceased for many, many years. He was killed 3 days after I was born and I have the last letter he wrote home (which was to my parents) and arrived a few weeks after his death. My parents always spoke so highly of him, I feel like I know him but never had the chance to meet him. He was still in his teens. Your site has helped me walk with him in his last days. Thank you so very much.

Please enter your comments:   I happened upon this site while trying to find out where my father had been during WWII. He was always rather reluctant to talk about anything related to actual combat. I have tons of silly stories, but nothing that helps me understand where he was during that time and what he endured. A Certificate of Service record says he was with the 540th, maybe between 7/42 and 2/46, but I don't understand Army lingo so I'm rather confused. I'm hoping this site and any others like it can aid in my quest. (Originally posted Sunday, February 20, 2005)

Please enter your comments:   Dear Marion, I'm the airfield historian of Coleman Army Airfield at Sandhofen/Mannheim, Germany. This base was called during ww2 Fliegerhorst Sandhofen. I do write a book on its history and during my research came across your site. Really nice and so much info. I still search for info on the units or pictures of the bailey bridge that the US Engineers build during their crossing here on 26th March 1945. The units were supposedly the 7th INF, 3rd DIV with the 540th Engineering Combat Group, the 85th Engineering heavy Pontoon Bat, the 2832 and 2833d Eng Regt and the 343rd and 344th Eng Regt. I have searched so much but could find no details on that bridge that was build in the vicinity of Sandhofen, where also a small battle was fought. I know there is a picture out there but can't find it anymore. Can anyone help me, Please!! Thanks from Germany Dirk (Originally posted Monday, February 07, 2005)

I prefer to obtain the items directly from the veteran or the family if possible. This way i have a name, face, and stories to go with the item. This makes it more interesting to me and also helps to keep that veterans experiences around for as long as possible.

There's a lot of good stuff there. Also wanted to mention that I'm related to Maj. Gen'l Crittenberger whose photo you've displayed. For some reason, he changed the spelling of our last name while he was in college. I have found and have visited his gravesite in Arlington National Cemetary in Va. Two of his sons are buried there also. (Originally posted Monday, November 15, 2004)

Please enter your comments:   Through the ages, we all question the heritage and lineage that has gotten us to where we are. The history of our fathers and grandfathers are not written into the academic courses and studies in our schools today. By sharing the stories and pictures, through the wonders of the "WWW" world, we are able to document and save the legacies that have been passed from one generation to the next. Through your efforts, and mine, and the efforts of many others like us, some day a young child will be able to view the pictures and read the stories to find the answer to "Daddy, what did you do in the war?"..... Keep up the good work and keep digging for the answers, for someday a child will ask the question. (Originally posted Sunday, November 14, 2004)

Please enter your comments:   Excellent website. Perhaps you'd enjoy reading ours. Please check out www.georgethomasclark.com -- the author's official web page, which features information about his biographical novel HITLER HERE. This work is unique because all the characters have bylines and thus the opportunity to reveal what they did and how they felt during an era of unprecedented destruction. The online excerpts are from the points-of-view of Hitler and six other characters. At the recent Frankfurt Book Fair, HITLER HERE generated reading copy requests from several foreign publishers, and the English language rights in India have just been sold to Mastermind Books.

Please enter your comments:   Hi Mare: I've known you but a short time, although through my good buddy Art, it is much longer. We enjoyed our visit up in ALGER with you and hubby Lee. I really don't know how you do everything you do in 24 hours. You really are a 10 foot dynamo in a 5 foot frame. It tickled me the way you chewed out that(little boy hacker ) that's been messing up your site. His MOMMY should take the razor strop to his pink little bottom. Enough of that. Good luck on your site. I know you truly love what you are doing. It's nice to see young people like you, who want to know what it was like for their loved ones to be away from home and family, fighting, but too young to know why.and praying they luck out. I enlisted in the Army Air Corps but was in radio & radar schools till the war in Europe ended, which put me on a much different "Ship" than a B-17. That I will enlarge upon later. God bless all those who faught the good fight and those who gave their all. The Best, Chuck (Originally posted Thursday, October 14, 2004)

Please enter your comments:   Marion this is such a wonderful site, a wealth of information. I am very grateful for the help that you have given me in my search for records of my father and hopefully to find some of the men he served with, all the pictures he had taken were lost and we are hoping that somebody out there might have some of him and his buddies. He didn't talk much about his experiences so we didn't have much to go on. I was able to obtain some letters he had written to a relative and found out that he was in the 97th "Trident" Division which saw overseas service in Europe from late January 45. From his address on his letters it also states he was in the Army Ground Forces Replacement Depot. If anybody out there knew a Sgt. Eric Lavere Frisell, which I guess was known as "Fizz", I would appreciate hearing from them. He also speaks of being at Fort Ord, and Camp Roberts and San Fransisco. Again thank you so much Marion, such a tribute to the greatest generation, which I truly feel they were. Sincerely, Glory Ann (Originally posted Saturday, October 09, 2004)

Glad also to see that we have a mutual friend in that old aviator, Art Morneweck. The web address I've entered here is my new Christian website. No one has signed that guestbook yet. Would you and Art care to initiate it? God bless. --- John Christian (Originally posted Sunday, October 03, 2004)
