Fellow historians,

I'm hoping one of you has a grandfather, or father, who may know the history of the Army's 786th Engineering Company in WWII. My grandfather landed on Omaha Beach, Dog Green Sector (same as Saving Private Ryan) on D-Day plus two. I know only a few things about his service: he served as a medic, fought through Normandy (obviously); was in Paris; fought through Belgium; and fought at Bastogne (Battle of the Bulge). He never spoke about his service (understandably so), but the archive where his Company's records were stored burnt down a few years ago. Thus, I have no means of researching where, specifically, he fought, or if he made it to Berlin.

I'm hoping one of you has some resource or knowledge that I don't have. I'm asking on behalf of my father who doesn't know where his own dad fought.

Thanks for your help!
