From: CONKW@aol.com Hello just found your web page on the internet. My father was in the 94th
infdiv and also in the 301st inf. Does this information you have is it
about the infantry in general or is it about some of the men. I would
like to find out more about my father. His name was Jack L Bonnichsen
He went in Dec 1942 and was discharged in Dec 1945. His sister that is
the only living relative left will not tell me much at all. So before
I order this I was interested in knowing what might be on the tape. All
I do know about him is that he was at the Battle of the Bulge and was
walking behind the tank that Gen. Patton was riding on. |

| From: "Peter
Kiefer" Date: Tue, 20 Jun 2006 Subject: Translation of “Part Four” of the book “History of the 94th Infantry Division in World War II” into the German language. ISBN: 0-89839-064-8 Peter Kiefer June 20.2006 St. Gangolfstrasse 10 66706 Perl Germany Background: During a 10-week visit of Richmond VA in 1988, I discovered in a library the above mentioned book. After having opened it, the first word that stuck to my eyes, was the name of my home village in Germany; “Borg”. I bought the book and read fascinated the story of the 94th Division, as they fought against the Germans in the villages of my homeland (Saar-Mosel triangle, in the “Siegfried Switch Line”), to free our nation from the terror of the Nazi-Regime. The inhabitants of the villages in the region had been evacuated to other areas at that time, therefore not much is known about the details on the terrible battles that went on in our region. When they came back, they found there villages totally destroyed and the farm land mined. I was a 6 years old child, when I saw the first American tanks entering and capturing my village on 19. November 1944. Now having retired after working for the DuPont de Nemours Company in Luxembourg for 38 years, I found the time to translate the part of the book, dealing with the war in my home area into the German language. This part of the book, combined with personal stories of civilians and German soldiers, provide an excellent documentation of this episode of WWII, for the benefit of future generations. As the 94th Infantry Division only came to the area in January 1945, the documentation also includes many internet reports and stories from the 90th Infantry Division and the 10th Armoured Division and others, which were fighting in my home area since beginning of November 1944. Now my question and appeal to you dear Ladies and Gentlemen. Concerning the copy right, I am not sure, what the requirements are. Facts are:
I would appreciate very much, if you could help me and give me your opinion on this matter, and let me know what the requirements would be! Thank you very much, Peter Kiefer |

here to email me Subject: Armand Pelletier Date: Mon, 29 May 2006 Thank you to all who served in the Third Army, 94th Infantry division. My dad was with you when you liberated Buchenwald. Like so many of you, it was difficult to get dad to talk about his experiences during the war. If there is anyone who remembers my dad from the war, I would so appreciate hearing from you. Watching the History Channel just increases my hunger to know more about dad s experiences. He was from Lynn, Massachusetts and I believe he shipped out of Fort Devans, Mass. Words cannot express my appreciation for all who served and saved the world from your generation s tyrant. Thank you in advance for your help and information. Positively yours, Lee Pelletier |

here to email me Subject: Letter to veterans WW II Date: Tue, 16 May 2006 I have translated Part 4 of the book, History of the 94th Infantry Division in World War II” into the German language. This part of the book deals with capturing the Saar – Mosel Triangle, a section of the “Siegfried Line Switch” also called “The Orscholz Riegel” and involving the villages Nennig, Wies, Berg, Wochern, Sinz, Tettingen, Butzdorf, Borg, Oberleuken, Tünsdorf and Orscholz. The time period when the battles for these villages went on, was between beginning of November 1944 and end of February 1945. I had still been a child at that time, but I remember well when the first American soldiers and tanks came to my village Borg, on November 19th 1944 and occupied it. The first combat teams coming to Borg were probably from the 90th Infantry Division (358th Infantry), the 3rd Armoured Cavalry Group and the 10th Armoured Tank Division. Because of the severe fighting that was expected in order to take the Siegfried Line Switch, the American Head Quarter ordered the evacuation of the civilian population to other towns behind the front line. Because of that, not much is known today of the terrible fighting that went on during the following months. When the inhabitants of the villages came back home from evacuation in March 1945, they found there villages totally destroyed and the roads and farmland mined. Beside little information in reports from the German Wehrmacht (from there sight of view), not much is known of what was really going on at this phase of the war. I have found some useful information in the American internet from people that took part during the combats around the Orscholz Riegel. I would be very glad and thankful to find more personal stories and reports from that period. Maybe there is someone out there who can help me. I am collecting all this information for the benefit of letting the present and future generations know what cruel and terrible fights were carried out to free there homeland from the terror of nationalism. Please, if you have reports, pictures or personal experience, or know someone who has, send them to me.
Many thanks Peter Kiefer |

| From: Erik Sweet Subject: John Benjamin Sweet Jr. Date: Thu, 20 Apr 2006 My name is Erik J. Sweet, and I am looking for information about my grandfather. John Benjamin Sweet Jr. He was with the 94th Inf Div. I do not know a unit or regiment, but have some of his ribbons, purple heart, I believe a bronze star, and unit crests. He was wounded in the Ardennes, and was sent to UK, and then home from there. I have a few pictures of him with buddies in St Moritz, and while he was sent to the Univ of Mississippi prior to shipping out for Europe, we was at Ole Miss in 1943. He has since passed, but any information that someone may have or remember would be great. Feel free to contact me at sweetpartyof5@comcast.net

Subject: Alfred J. Dreyer Date: Tue, 28 Feb 2006 I am trying to locate Alfred J. Dreyer. He was a Staff Sergeant in "C" Company, 302 Regiment, 94th Infantry Division during World War 2. At that time, he was from New York City. Does anyone know if he is still alive, and if so, where he can be found? If not, are there any other members of "C" Company that I could contact? He (Al Dreyer) was a good friend of my mother's (maiden name "Teresa Plonska"). He had given my mother a Nazi flag that his Company had captured during the war. All or most of the men in "C" Company signed the flag along with other comments. My mother passed away in 1983 and left this flag to me. It is still in near perfect condition and you can still read every name on it. I know I have waited a long time to try to make this contact, but my wife and I visited the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in DC two weeks ago and it made me realize how significant and important this might be for Mr. Dreyer, his family or any of the other soldiers in his Company. Does "C" Company ever have any reunions? I am thinking about having the flag scanned so I can make prints of it to give to any of the surviving men of "C" Company that signed it. Thanks, |

He passed away May of 2002 and I would like to gather any information that anyone would have about him. My father did not discuss his time in the service with his two children. My brother also passed away so I am at a loss of any information regarding his time in the service. I am very proud of my father’s service in the 94th as I am with all members of the armed forces during WWII. I do remember attending reunions with my family in Pittsburg and St. Louis many many years ago.

here to email me Subject: Edgington Date: Sun, 1 Jan 2006 I have been trying to confirm the unit my father was assigned to or any information about the unit.. His discharge papers stated that he earned the EIB on 12 May 1944 while assigned to the 256th HQ, 94th Division. It then stated that he was given the CIB on 10 Nov 1944 while assigned with the 22nd HQ, 94th Division. I'm not sure if these units really were part of the 94th Infantry Division and I would like to know if so, what battalion was he a part of, I think my dad stated once that he was in the 3rd Battalion, 376th Infantry.
