So are you talking the 3rd Engineer Combat Battalion, or engineer combat battalions assigned to Patton's Third Army, and specifically, their S-2 reports?
Specifically, I am looking to understand the actions of the 1109th to write the biography of one of their members who was an S-2. I know he was an S-2 with the 1109th from 43-45. I am in the early stages of being fire-hosed with information as I embark on this research. Appreciate any and all help in understanding an navigating this.
Thank you for posting your inquiry on History Hub!
In addition to the suggestions provided by Mr. Hall, you might want to consider looking into records located in the series titled World War II Operations Reports, 1940–1948 in the Records of the Adjutant General's Office (Record Group 407) and the seriesUnit Histories, 1943–1967 in the Records of U.S. Army Operational, Tactical, and Support Organizations (World War II and Thereafter) (Record Group 338). Military unit files among these records consist mostly of historical reports, after action reports, unit journals, and general orders. The records do not include personnel or medical information. We do not have a name index to these records.
We will be happy to make the records and their finding aids available to you or your representative in the Textual Research Room (Room 2000) here at the National Archives at College Park, Maryland.
