I have been searching for this poster for roughly 5+ years. It was published in Germany while the 2nd Battalion of the 417th was on occupation duties after hostilities ended in June of 1945. It details the path the 417th took through the ETO and has quite a few funny caricatures of the veterans and also of the Germans. The wait was worth it for this one! Not attributed to a veteran but it was a must have for my collection. With this addition, only ONE piece of 76th literature remains unaccounted for. The booklet's title is "The First Battalion, 417th Infantry Regiment, 76th Infantry Division" and it was published before they shipped overseas at Camp McCoy. If anybody has this booklet please contact me at wwii_research_investigations@yahoo.com
Thanks for looking!
Can you make a copy available for a price? My dad was in the 417th and I'd love to have something like this. Thanks Jim Priest okcpriest@yahoo.com
