It appears that 601st tank destroyer batallion was attached to the 103d division as part of Task Force Selestat. What was the role of the tank destroyers at Selestat with 103d division. Thanks and thanks for your service. Greg Underwood at GregColmar@hotmail.com

Thompson, Captain Patrick N.

  • Came across this site while doing some research for my wife into her father Louis Kline and his service with the 605th TD Batt. 102nd Infantry. He joined at Ft.Custer, apparently Camp Custer back then. Have some of his documents, but he spoke little of his service other than being a Corpsman and while suffering pneumonia, the aid station he was assigned to and a patient at was captured. Released by the Germans, he later apparently spend time as a Corpsman on prisoner transport ships out of Nice France. Just a bit confusing to the family.

  • According to his discharge papers, my grandfather, Vernon Hafer, was a Staff Sgt with the 671st Tank Destroyer Battalion. His military occupation specialty was was Motor Transportation. I know it is a long shot, but I would love to see any photos that he may be in or hear any stories he may be a part of. Thanks in advance!

  • My father was in the 670th Tank Destroyer Battalion and I'm looking for information about this unit. The records I've seen show it was activated on 12 June 1943 and inactivated on 10 April 1945 and in all that time they were never deployed into combat. I don't understand why they never left the states.
