David Johnson

  • My Dad,PFC Albert E. Johnson, was a radioman assigned to the 771tank destroyer unit Company C. He was wounded on or about November 20, 1944 near Apweiler, Germany. He was sent to a hospital in Belgium for a few months and them reassigned to the Army Air Corps, still in radio communications.

Brenda Gaunt

  • My uncle Glenn A Granquist of Wayne, Nebraska served with the 636th Tank Destroyer Battalion. According to his obituary, he drove the lead tank into Rome. Thanks to the information I discovered at this site, I now know that would have been in June 1944. Fortunately Uncle Glenn survived the war and returned home to raise a family and to farm.

Allen Haschke

  • My great uncles, Adolph & Albert Haschke served in the 692nd TD Battalion "B" Company. Albert Haschke was on Jack Myers tank crew and, unfortunately didn't make it home. He was a casualty of the Rhineland Campaign in early March of 1945. The pictures and information provided here on tankdestroyer.net has been a great help in learning more about my uncles and the great men they served with.

John Kukitz

  • My father, John F. Kukitz was a Hellcat. He passed many years ago and I don’t have much information about his time in the military. Any help / suggestions as to where I could find some of his history would be greatly appreciated.

Travis Burgess

  • My uncle, Paul Burgess, of Texas was a crewman of an M-18 in the 704th. He received the Bronze Star in Germany for an action in which his vehicle was destroyed. He suffered severe shell shock in that action.

Megan Rideout

  • My grandfather Emmitt ‘Red’ Rideout was in the 705 TD battalion c company, 3rd platoon. He was apart of the tanks that came to help in Bastogne. My family doesn’t know a lot about my grandfathers time during Ww2.. or even photos. He must have missed picture day for his platoon photos at fort Lewis (1944). If anyone has any info or if anyone knows any vets still alive who may have knew him, please email. Its really important to me to know. ANYTHING will help
