As a young child I remember him telling stories about Christmas and the S.S. Leopoldville. I was wondering if he was abord this ship. I have tried to look up his records but, they where destroyed in a fire in the early 70's. St. Louis Mo. I was also trying to find out where he fought and what medals he may have recieved. I want to make a memorial to him. He had the Ruptured Duck pin. I need to find out more. My father passed in 1990 and I wished I would have asked more questions about his military service.. His Son Chris

I know some are always exluded for one reason or another, but there seems to be a bad clerical error for this unit. He was one of the survivors when they sunk the ship but was also excluded in any reports. Is there anywhere we can look for records for him? Thank you.

Our grandfather was from New York and passed when I was a very small child. We did not have the opportunity to hear stories of the war or to even know what kind of person he was. We know this may be a long shot, but anyone who may have knew him or could tell us any stories, or have any pictures that include him, feel free to contact us..Thank You and God Bless

Thank you!

I do not know what company he was assigned to but I do know he was in the field artillery. After the war he was reasigned to a military police unit and served in Austria. He was in the C.I. D.. Perhaps someone will remember him.

Hahn who served in the 264th (66th) and later in the 359th Regiment (90th), he was Lt. and I believe he replaced a Co of C company after the Co was wounded and taken out of the field. I believe he lived in Pennsylvania before the war. I would like to hear from any vets, or anyone who has photos and information. He never talked with my dad about the war, but he always told my dad, if you are going to join the army/navy/air force, don't be in the infantry. He was awarded two bronze stars during the war, and later fought in Korean War. Does anyone have the company photo at either Camp Blanding or Fort Mcclellan? And does any one have other pictures of the 264th? You could email me at jthahn2009@yahoo.com

When the 66th was disbanded after WWII I, and a number of my 66th budddies, were sent to the 42nd Division in Austria. I ended up in Zell am See, a beautiful ski town in the mountains. I am seeking information regarding what happened to a non 66th guy named Joe Dooley. We were both on detached duty as MP's in Zell. Joe was quite a bit younger than us and remained in the 42nd when we went back home to the US. Joe was a great guy and a real pleasure to be around. I did establish contact with him several years after the war, maybe in '46 or '47. He was in Philadelphia, still in the service having voluntered for some super secret duty. My contact with Joe ended there. If any one has info regarding this Joe Dooley I would appreciate hearing from you. Please use 66th in the Subject box. Thanks

2007-01-13 - Patrick McKenna wrote: Jim Madigan, is a very close friend of mine. He was part of the 66th "Black" Panthers Division. Getting him to speak of his memories of the war is like pulling teeth. He recalls the tragedy of watching the Leoupoldville sinking; he has also mentioned that he used the Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR), and his overall experiences in the Battle of the Bulge. However he fondly recalls his time spent in Vienna postwar. I was wondering if anyone recalls any experiences with my friend Jim Madigan. Thank you very much.

Any info, photos, anything would be greatly appreciated! He died in 1985 and most of his war memorabilia was stolen many years ago and like many others he very rarely spoke about the war at all. All he ever said was that ,"he got very sick on the boat on the way over", and "he walked all over Germany." That was about all he would say...thanks to all of you!
