Does someone know the best source to find information on WWII personal accounts from the soldiers in the 824th who fought in the towns of Oberheinriet and Unterheinriet, Germany during April 13th to 15th, 1945? They were attached with the 100th Division at that time.

I came across this website because my Grand Uncle Charles Frost's grave has the 635th tank destroyer battalion on it. He was a Tech 5th Grade? Just wanted to find out what the unit was about.
Excellent Website

My Father in Law Walter "Roy" Collis was in the 705 TD Bn. Thanks for this very informative site. I found myself engulfed by the history of the Bn and particularly their role in the defense of Bastogne Dec '44 - Jan '45.
If anyone reading this new Roy (or Walt if you knew him that way) I'd love to hear from you. Walt passed in 1999 and I'm so fortunate to be married for almost 35 years to his wonderful daughter Sandy. Walt - as I knew him, didn't talk much about his experience in WWII, but I know it impacted him deeply. Best wishes to all of you and thanks again for this site.

I discovered this website thanks to a fine fellow, Keith Campbell, at the National D-Day Memorial in Bedford,Virginia,this past week . I was in the area on family business and located, and toured the Memorial along with other family members.
I inquired as to information regarding my late father , Francis {Frank } J. Blatterspiel who was a tank driver with Company A, 610th T/D Battalion during WW II.
Mr. Campbell referred me to this website and I have been able to find out a lot more about Pop, and his experiences during the war , than I was ever able to find either from him {like most war/ combat vets, did not talk much about what happened},or any searches I've done in the past. You have a great website, THANK YOU !
PS : The National D-Day Memorial in Bedford, Virginia is a MUST SEE , do NOT pass it up. It is non-profit,and exists on private, corporate, and admission money only, and IS NOT run by the U.S. Government in any way.
