I'm glad you took the time to give us a few excerpts. Classic entries. I love how you listed all the slang words and their translations too. 
All this gives a real feel for day-to-day life amongst the engineers. Can't wait to see more that for sure.
How I wish my dad had kept a diary. When you get hold of an entire one, it sure is a real present.
Oh I sent a letter to David Wagner. Said he didn't recognize any of the names, probably because they weren't in his unit, but he is passing on the info to a few others.
I should probably start copying in the History of 39th. If I did it little by little it wouldn't seem so cumbersome. I still have to do this for the 36th too. As you can see I have a lot of work ahead of me. I just finished writing a brief history of the 540th and sent it in to WWII Magazine. Hopefully they will print it. Eventually would like to do the same for the 36th and the 39th. Ah, but this all takes time...
