Received this today and will doing some research for him:

Looking for the location where my uncle was killed in battle WWII. Is it possible to know the whereabouts of his unit on September 22, 1944?

Staff Sergeant Herman J. Foehrer

Co. H 36th Armored Infantry Regiment

Return address also included APO # 253, if that is useful.

Thanks you for any help you can provide.

I placed this in the What's New section but am placing it here too because I want to add some info. If you go to this site The Italian Campaign, they also have a great animated map (Flash file).

I sure would like to have maps like this on my site eventually for the engineers. I have the technology, but it takes some playing around. Ah, that's something for the future!

MAAM will have http://www.maam.org/wwii/wwiiadver.html the annual WW2 reenactment at Reading http://www.maam.org
