778 AAA AW BN (SP) from Activation to Victory PDF?

Hello,

Unfortunately, a source that often has these publications available as a pdf (for a reasonable fee), Wartime Press, has a pre-order notice for the publication you need. I assume they are still looking for a copy to digitize. You might contact them to see if they have a timeline for when it might be available. You’ll have to search to find them, as I don’t want to get dinged for endorsing a commercial site, etc.

Hi Dan,

Thank you for the recommendation!! I reached out to Wartime Press and they indeed have it, just not scanned yet. Looks like I am all set on getting this book.

Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!

In addition to the information already provided by another community member, you may also be interested in records in the custody of the Textual Reference Branch at the National Archives in College Park, MD (Archives II). We search the finding aids to series World War II Operations Reports, 1940-1948 (entry NM-3 427) in the Records of the Adjutant General's Office (Record Group 407) and located several files related to the 778th Anti-Aircraft Artillery (Automatic Weapons) Battalion under the filing code CABN-778-. These records have not been digitized. Please email the Textual Reference Branch at archives2reference@nara.gov for assistance with these and similar records.

Plus, we suggest that you contact the U.S. Army Center of Military History or the U.S. Army Heritage and Education Center, which has a large collection of published unit histories, directly for further assistance. You may also wish to search their websites for additional information and resources.

We invite you to continue the conversation with community members on History Hub, but should you have follow up questions for the staff at Archives II, please email us at archives2reference@nara.gov so that we can assist you further. 

We hope this is helpful for your research! 

Sincerely,

Textual Reference Archives II Branch (RR2RR)

Hello,

My dad served in WW2 in the 778th AAA AW BN (SP). I would love to talk to you. I have the book I believe your looking for, if you haven't received a digital copy yet.

Hello Audrey, yes a copy of the book would be fantastic. Wartime Press is backed up with scanning books right bow. Let's connect, I'd love to hear about your father's experience and I can share what I know so far about my grandfather.

Hello,

Since we are unable to share any personal information, such as an email address, and I am unable to send you a message privately, I don't know how I can connect with you. I have tried. If you have any suggestions, please let me know. 

Audrey 

Hello,

if you contact wartime press again, they should be able to get you a copy.
