I want to thank all who served in the tank destroyer
battalions in ww2. I had an uncle that served in europe
named Claude Hitte but do not know his unit.
God Bless All

The Detailed History of the 692nd Tank Destroyer Bn provided in the Unit section of the site asserts that the 692nd liberated Dachau KZ.
This statement requires clarification since history is clear that the main Camp at Dachau was liberated by the 222nd Infantry Regiment, 42nd Infantry Division, and the 3rd Bn, 157th Infantry Regiment, 45th Infantry Division on 29 April 1945.
During the weeks and months that followed the initial liberation many units and personnel, including members of the 692nd, assisted with the sick, the burial of the dead and eventual use of the facilities for war crimes trials. The role played by these personnel is not to be minimized but it should also not be confused with the role of the infantry in the initial seizing of the camp and freeing of its 32,000 inmates.

My Father Raymond Derome was a Surgical Technician for the 629th Tank Battalion. We are interested in getting more information and possibly furnishing you with more pictures. Is there anywhere that would have more information on the medical units?
My Dad is 91 and this website has definitely peaked his interest. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

My grandfather was Lt. Col. Leslie H. Cornaby who commanded the 640th TD Battalion. The men in his unit meant a lot to him and I thank you so much for creating this site to honor all these veterans.

My father, 1st Sgt Marshall Epperson was with HQ Company of the 822nd TD Battalion during WWII. His nickname was Epp. Two friends that he talked about when I was a child were Sloan and Stejano. My father passed away in 1974 so it's been great to look at this site and get some information about the tank destroyers.

My great uncle was SSgt. Marvin L. Bowlin. He was in the 899th Company "B." My understanding, based on what his sister (my Grandma) told us was that he was killed by friendly's. I would love to know more. Thank you for such a fabulous site. God bless our Veterans!
