- My father Geroge Grawe of Quincy, IL, served in the 601st from 1943 to 1945. Not sure of the months, but I know he came up from North Africa through parts of Italy, France and then into Germany. Their Tank was hit in January of 1945. Some of the men who were in the tank with him I have met, such as Mr. Harold Claycomb. I would love to know if any other pictures may exist of my father. Thanks Paul Grawe
