1302nd Engineers Company B (US Army) in World War 2, I've exhausted my resources, anyone know anything?

by Billebill

My grandfather served in this company in WW2, doesn't talk about it much. He had an incredible photo album I remember looking through growing up that was stolen, photos of a concentration camp. Just lots of photos of bodies stacked to the ceiling, ovens, everything you've heard of. He wouldn't talk about it but he left it out for people to see. One day I sat with him and from the little he told me I only know that he was in Britain for a little while at desk jobs and he and a friend were getting bored and volunteered to go fight, moving across Europe and ending in Germany. I'll spare the minute details for the sake of wasting my own time but he did mention being briefly involved in the Battle of the Bulge, I found a booklet on his desk that looked like it was handed out by the Army with "Co. B 1302 Engineers, ADDRESS BOOK" with a bunch of contact information of men in the company, the only reason I even knew to search for this particular group.

The Army employs historians at most of its major centers - in your case, the US Army Engineer School, Fort Leonard Wood, MO. Their staff historian and or museum director could point out resources, you might email them.
