How do you find out who your grandad served with in world war 2 - 3rd army - 4th armored division - 704th tank destroyer battalion - recon company - 3rd platoon?
I found a reference to a Veteran's Association of the 704 TD Battalion. However, the date was a few years ago so they may no longer exist. You can try this info: http://www.amazon.com/Men-704th-Illustrated-Destroyer-Battalion/dp/188585112X Here are books and references that may mention your grandfater. The Men of the 704th by Richard Buchanan, Saint Vincent College Center (Jun 1998), ISBN-13: 978-1885851123 Reluctant Valor: The Oral History of Captain Thomas J. Evans, United States Third Army, 4th Armored Division, 704th Tank Destroyer Battalionby Thomas Evans, Saint Vincent College Center (Jun 1995), ISBN-13: 978-1885851055 CODE NAME: HARPOON THE COMBAT HISTORY OF THE 704TH TANK DESTROYER BATTALION (SELF-PROPELLED), paperback book, Publisher: La Puente, CA Baron Publishing Co. 1982 http://www.allbusiness.com/amusement-recreation-services/miscellaneous-amusement/4045059-1.html The 704th Tank Destroyer Battalion was formed in December 1941 at Pine Camp, New York, departed US 3 September 1943 for England.

They also served with the 101st Airborne, 26th, 87th and 94th Infantry Divisions and the 6th Cavalry Group during the war. They used the M-18 Hellcat during their service.
How can you find the battle history of your uncle an-anti tank driver during WW II in Europe?
Please identify the unit. That might help. First, I have to assume you refer to US Army. Your reference to "anti-tank driver" could mean he served with either a Tank Destroyer Battalion or maybe Tank Battalion. Maybe you refer to an Anti-Tank Company which was a light field gun used to knock out tanks and was part of every infantry division.I will assume you mean a US Tank Destroyer Battalion.Generally, the history books seldom mention the Tank Destroyer Battalions. You can start by identifying the theater that the unit served in. Then find the volume of the US Army History series that covers that campaign and check the index. These volumes can be found in many libraries.Next, try to find out if it was attached to any other unit. Usually the T-D Battalions were independent but attached to an army, corps or an armored or infantry division. If you find one, then locate the unit history for that armored or infantry division and see if it mentions the T-D Battalion. If you follow the history of the parent unit then you will learn something about the T-D unit. Some books will mention these "support units" but some are reluctant to give them credit.Lastly, there are some websites for Tank Destroyer Battalions. Search for those. Contact the webmaster and ask for help. Usually they know of other T-D units and can direct you to a good source.Tank Destroyer Battalions that served in Italy:679, 757, 776, 791, 804, 805, 894Tank Battalions that served in Italy:751, 752, 756, 758(Light), 760Website for 752 Tank Battalion:http://www.752ndtank.com/index.HTMLHope that helped.Custermen
