Subject: Information about PFC Robert E Jordan, Co B 15th Inf Regiment 3rd Infantry Division WWII

Comments: Would like any information regarding my father who served in Co B 15th Infantry Regiment 3rd Infantry Division during WWII. 
His name was PFC Robert E Jordan and when he left the states he was with the first landings of his unit in 1942 and served until the end of the war. 

He was at Tunisia, Anzio beachhead, North Africa, Morocco, wounded in France, and finally his last days of duty was in Germany. 
He was drafted at the age of 26; Dec. 5, 1941 so he was older than the usual young soldiers. 

He died in 1995 so I am trying to piece some things together and I have his discharge and other things he collected during the war. 
He never talked much about the war but I have some of his mail he sent home to family when he was there.   It would be interesting
to know if anyone who knew him could contact me.  He served with Audie Murphy, too. 
He did tell us he was the company barber if that helps and he still cut his own hair up unto he died.

Subject: Col. Merritt Hutton Hursh

Comments: I am researching a soldier by the name of Col. Merritt Hutton Hursh who was a member of the 313th Intelligence
Batallion, T-Force, 6th Army Group and reportedly one of the advance parties at the capture of the Berghof.
He won the Silver Star and oakleaf cluster, the Bronze Star and oakleaf cluster, the D.S.C., the Legion of Merit,
Combat Infantry Badge and was deputy commander of this occupying force.

I am trying to locate anyone who served with him and that might have been with him at the Berghof.
Would you have any leads I might follow in this quest. There seems to have been MANY groups at the Eagle's Nest
as the existing feuding between the 3rd Army and the 101st Airborne suggests.

I have seen Hutton's unit listed under numerous titles including the 6860th Headquarters Detachment Force,
7th Army; the Intelligence Assault Force, 313th Intelligence Battalion and other names. They were supposed to be advance
troops in charge of securing important documents and other intelligence data.
Anything you could contribute to this mystery would be appreciated.
Thanks-Jemison Beshears

Dear Jemison,
    I was a 1st Lt, commander of the 7th Inf, 3rd Infantry Division Intelligence & Reconnaissance Platoon, at the time the Berghof and
Eagles Nest were taken on the afternoon of May 4, 1945.  I was there for three days, before we moved on to Salzburg. 
The only colonel I saw there was my Regimental Commander, Col. John A. Heintges.   There were no personnel from other units there,
not the 101st Airborne, not the 1st French Army, not even Stephen Ambrose! 

One good reason for that is that there were only two shattered bridges over the Salaach River and Col. Heintges posted strong
roadblocks on both to assure that no other unit could claim to have been there first.  I'm curious to hear why you say you "know"
that a Col. Hursh was there??  I never heard of a 313th Intelligence Battalion, nor any other Intelligence Battalion.
There is no Col. Hursh listed in the 3rd Infantry Division WWII History.

    The only man I know that knows more about the capture of the Berghof and the Eagles Nest is Sherman Pratt, Lt. Col. Ret'd. 
 At the time, he was a captain commanding L Company, 7th Infantry, first into Berchtesgaden, the Berghof and the Eagles Nest. 
His E mail address is swpratt@juno.com  A few weeks ago Sherm was recovering from a stroke.  I know he will be glad to
help you if he is able.

Comments: I was hoping that you could answer a question for me concerning the Signal Corps and World War II.
I have a photograph taken at Camp Bad Orb upon liberation, by Signal Corps on April 3, 1945. The signal corps also made a filmstrip
about the camp. Now, I have no idea how the Signal Corps worked during World War II.

Would that particular signal corps have been assigned to the liberating units? According to the documentation that I have,
the 44th infantry division, 106th cavalry group XV Corps, seventh u.s. army liberated the POW's. Can you explain, then, how the Signal Corps came into the picture (no pun intended) here?

The photo is of interest to me because my in-laws have always believed that one of the soldiers in that picture was a brother
who was listed as MIA, and never came home. But, I , personally, think that the POW's look pretty good for the conditions
that they would have undergone being in that camp. I am attaching the photo for your perusal.

I was just wondering how taking the pictures would have come about. Would people volunteer to be in the photo?
Could you please explain how photographing would take place.
Several people have told me that the photo was "staged" by the signal corps.
Perhaps you could send some light on the subject for me. I appreciate any help that you can send my way.
Thank you.

Comments:

My name is Marco and my surname is Viti. I am an university student in my last year of an Economics and Business Studies degree.
I am an Italian researcher of the World War II, in fact I am writing a book about the World War II: in particular  I would like
to reconstruct the events which took place in my little town, PRESENZANO, a little village in the Volturno area, next to
Mignano Monte Lungo (about 10 Kilometres), San Pietro Infine (about 16 Kilometres) and Venafro (about 15 Kilometres).

I am writing to you because I know that you are a good source of historical facts about military operations and units.
According to my documentation the general Mark Clark's Fifth Army camped in PRESENZANO from November 1943
and in my town there was an American field hospital. As you certainly know, PRESENZANO is situated in the vicinity of
Mignano Monte Lungo (about 10 Kilometres) where for the first time from 8 September 1943, the Italian Army
(First Motorized Group) fought with the allied nations and Americans.

I have a copy of a letter written by Mark Clark on 25 February 1980 to a citizen of my little village (PRESENZANO), where the
General Mark Clark affirmed that Fifth Army Headquarters was at PRESENZANO as were Headquarters of other units before.

I have also several articles about PRESENZANO written by E. Pyle on November and December 1943.
From the National Archives and Records Administration I have found a motion picture film with this title:
“American soldiers, Presenzano, Italy (New year’ s Day Meal)”; Production Date: 1944.
From This Archive I have obtained 15 photos that prove that General Mark Clark’ s Fifth Army camped in Presenzano
during this period. On a photo there are Lientenant General George Patton, Jr., CG, U.S. 7th Army, and Maj. Gen. Geoffrey Keyes, CG, II Corps, at Presenzano area on 8 January 1944.

On another photo of 29 February 1944 I can see Lt. General Mark W. Clark, CG, U.S. Fifth Army, with to Maj. Gen. Willis D. Crittenberger and Maj. Henry C. Lodge, staff officer, at Fifth Army Headquarters of Presenzano.

On a photograph of 6 November 1943 there is an American soldier, Cpl. John E. Iovino, Lawrence, Mass.,
that is hugging his aunt whom he discovered in the Italian town of Presenzano. The aunt and family had lived in the U.S.
until 1930, when they returned to Italy.

On a photo of 27 February 1944 there is the Visit of General Giraud, Commander in Chief of French Forces,  to
Lt. General Mark W. Clark at Fifth Army Headquarters.

On the "LIFE" magazine of January 1944 there is a sketch of George Biddle, one of best-known U.S. artists
(that probably was with a battalion of the U.S. Third Infantry Division) of a dead citizen of PRESENZANO.
The article on this magazine is: "A dead Italian lies in a coffin. Americans found him when they come into PRESENZANO.
He had been put to work by the Germans digging gun emplacements and trenches.

Later, on Halloween, they shot him at night behind haystack. In spite of such cruelties as this, the Germans are
usually well disciplined and commit few wanton atrocities. They are, however, ruthlessly logical, will do anything necessary
for military advantage".

During World War II  several people died of PRESENZANO: The Germans killed 10 Presenzano citizens.
I do not know Germans units in my little town, and of others nations.

Do you know any soldier who stopped at PRESENZANO during the war, even if  for few days?
On the book "Countdown to Cassino", A. Bowlby, London 1995, Pen e Sword Books Ltd, pp. 103  and 108,
there is the narration of the presence and of the transit of 1^ Special Service Force US-Canadian at PRESENZANO.
Do you know if there was any Canadian units in my little town?

I hope that you will be able to provide me with some materials of these events of the World War II in my little town
PRESENZANO (military map, videos, images, pictures, magazine articles, any information): it would be very useful for me.
I would like to thank you in advance for your cooperation. Yours Sincerely Viti Marco
