Dear Mr. Heffron,

Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!

We searched the National Archives Catalog and located  World War II Operations Reports, 1940-1948 in the Records of the Adjutant General's Office, 1917-1981 (Record Group 407) that may contain unit records of the 910th Antiaircraft Artillery Battalion, Automatic Weapons, as well as any predecessor units. For more information about these records, please contact the National Archives at College Park - Textual Reference (RDT2) via email at archives2reference@nara.gov.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and pursuant to guidance received from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), NARA has adjusted its normal operations to balance the need of completing its mission-critical work while also adhering to the recommended social distancing for the safety of NARA staff. As a result of this re-prioritization of activities, you may experience a delay in receiving an initial acknowledgement as well as a substantive response to your reference request from RDT2. We apologize for this inconvenience and appreciate your understanding and patience.

We also searched the Ike Skelton Combined Arms Research Library Digital Library for “910th AAA” and “910th Antiaircraft” with multiple results. In addition, we searched the website of the US Army Heritage and Education Center (USAHEC) and located A history of the 11th Antiaircraft Artillery Battalion Automatic Weapons Self-Propelled, April 1907-July 1954 : with ancestry and battle honors of the parent units which is not available online. Please contact USAHEC to inquire about the availability of this unit history.

Plus, we searched online and located a list of regimental histories for Coast Artillery units in the The Coast Defense Journal. Page 41 through 42 give the history of the 66th Coast Artillery (AA) Regiment, which was the predecessor for the 910th AAA (AW) Bn. A brief history of the unit and its predecessor and successors units is also available on the 11th AAA Battalion (AW) (SP) page of https://www.usarmygermany.com/.  Also, the US Army Center of Military History lists a platoon of the battalion being attached to the 101st Airborne Division for a brief period of time. Lastly, we located an oral history of a member of the unit on the website of the US Holocaust Museum.

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