  Tracing an Army Group's Path During WWII
Posted by: lsedels - 03-26-2023, 01:44 AM - Forum: INSTRUCTIONS FOR RESEARCH - No Replies

My Dad was a 49th Combat Engineer in the Normandy invasion. I know that this unit landed on Utah Beach. But I would like to find out what happened to them in the weeks/months afterwards. I believe my Dad had pictures of one of the concentration camps so I have reason to believe that he was eventually in Germany. But I'd like to trace his unit for at least a few weeks after landing at Utah in possible preparation for a trip to Normandy where I wanted to hire a private tour guide.

Has anyone been through this before?

Hello everyone:

A friend called the other day and told me of his involvement in a WWII music-filled event taking place at the Novi, Michigan library on May 20, 2023. They are looking for a Bob Hope like emcee to introduce the acts, tell some jokes, etc. If you or anyone else might be interested, please contact ASAP! 

This will be a fun day and who knows, you may get to meet yours truly too.  Tongue  

P.S. There is a small monetary pay-out, but the big plus is taking a trip down memory lane.   Shy

Hope everyone has a good one. Hoping that 2023 will see some more traffic at this site. I really miss those heady days of yore when we have some many active people (including many WWII vets). Here's to you, members past and present!

Hi everyone: 

Posting this information for my friend, Trapper54.

"Hi Marion

I am working on the 187th engineer combat battalion and was wondering if you could add a note on your site which would send people looking for the 187th to my page. I am running out of information to post and need some help. Thanks, Ron

Contact us at the187thengcobn@aol.com

P.S. As a note of interest, Ron sent a kind donation to me earlier this year in support of our WWII site. Many thanks and Merry Christmas and Happy 2023!

He passed away in 2000 and come from NJ.

Thanks for the help.
