Seeking mother's courts-martial records

Claudia Chidester Oct 9, 2019 10:36 AM

I am trying to find the date and details of an incident my mother mentioned. She said a WAC was arrested on the Frankfurt-Basel train in 1947-48 time frame carrying $50,000 on her ( presumably to help the Jewish Underground). She was sent back to the states. Are the court martial records searchable?

Dear Ms. Chidester,

Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!

U.S. Army general courts-martial (GCM) records from 1917 to 1976 are in the custody of the National Archives at St. Louis (RL-SL). For access to the records, please contact RL-SL via email at stl.archives@nara.gov.

We hope this is helpful. Best of luck with your research!
