MsG asked:

I am a researcher who has been trying to find information on a civilian army employee in WWII, especially during the Berlin Airlift (1948-1949). He was a welder from the midwest who took apart large equipment so it could be flown oversees, reassembled so bases could be built. I have contacted NARA, the welding associations, the equipment suppliers of that time, ancestry.com and even have a letter into NARA’s civilian personnel records dept (no response yet). All sources that mention him are vague and redundant. We want to find the man or his family for his story. Looking for new ideas…

If it hadn’t been for the cold, would the Germans have conquered Russia in WWII?

WW 2 Soldiers — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 08:08:06 +0000

I saw this documentary on the History Channel that pretty much attributed Germany’s defeat on the Eastern front in WWII to Russia’s climate. As the Germans were about to take over Moscow in 1941, winter caught them almost by surprise. They then realized their troops were not equipped to fight or neutralize an attack amidst such a terrible cold. German soldiers who survived depicted horryfying scenes. Most of their comrades were dead-frozen in the position they fought. The documentary made particular emphasis on the might of the German army in comparison to the Russian, which was rather weak by all standards. Stalin even forced the prisoners deported to Siberia to put on a uniform and fight at all costs or else they’d be shot.

Is there an expert on the topic who can offer more information? What are the other theories as to why Germany lost WWII?

whateverkimme asked:

I just learned that my grandfather won a bronze star in WWII. My dad doesn’t know what it was for and most of the family who would know has passed away. Is there somewhere / someone I could write or e-mail to find out this information?
Unfortunatly, Grandma passed away years ago, and apparently did not keep any of his records.

Preferably 101st Airborne during WWII, but will take anything at this point. U.S. Army infantry will be just as good.

poemman16 asked:

In my father’s New Testament carried in WWII, he wrote: 3rd signal company, 29th service group, then his name, service # and social. At ancestry.com I discovered a little more info from U.S. World War II Army enlistment Records, but these items I do not understand: under branch, it says “branch immaterial-warrant officers, USA” & same thing under branch code. Under component, it says “Selectees (enlisted men).” Under term of enlistment it says: “Enlistment for Phillipine department” but dad only served in Europe. How I know this: I discovered that the 3rd signal company was in the 3rd infantry, so they were only in Europe. Dad went in at Fort McPherson, Atlanta, HQ, Third U.S. Army. (Patton’s Army in part of WWII). Can anyone help me understand what the 3rd signal company was and what type of jobs they did so I can understand what dad did in the War? What is a service group? Thanks in advance!!
