645th Tank Destroyer Battalion

I have scanned at 300 dpi GOs 1 and 2 of
the 645th Tank Destroyer Bn for 1944, which
I copied at the NARA last weekend.

Both GOs are exclusively for Good Conduct
Medal awards. GO 1 is nine pages with many
names; GO 2 is two pages.

These were the only two GOs I found in the
box for 1944. There were none for 1945, surprisingly.

Here is the 645th TD Bn page at the tankdestroyer.net website. It has links to a brief history and photos of the 645th TD Bn on the 45th ID website. There are also downloadable PDFs of the After Action Reports from Sep 1943 to Apr 1945. Some of the AARs include casualty lists. The 645th page also has a picture gallery.

 

TD,the link you add is a gold mine!!!The battle reports in southern France are awesome,with geo-localized places.Yum-yum!My french diggers will surely thank you very much,as i do!

 

I hope you'll find nice relics after checking this information . Let us know about it.

 

I'm glad you have such appreciation for that info and I hope it will be useful to you. However, much thanks should go to Rob, Steve and others at tankdestroyer.net for doing the hard work of finding those documents and putting them on their website. As Skipper said, let us know if you come across any interesting finds.

 

Indeed Tommy,these men are doing a great job with their site.I will soon begin to spot the places and find some detectorists in Southern France.Will keep you informed.
