The 652nd Tank Destroyer Battalion was based at Camp Hood (now Fort Hood) in Texas, the home of the Tank Destroyer Forces. The unit was one of seven tank destroyer battalions that remained in the U.S. and was not deployed overseas. It is known that the 652nd was engaged in combat training at Camp Robinson in Arkansas on March 13, 1944 when an anti-personnel mine accidentally exploded during weapons instruction, killing 12 soldiers and injuring 14. During 1944 and 1945, members of the 652nd were assigned as armed escorts to watch over German prisoners of war arriving aboard ships on the east coast and guarded them as they were transported on trains to POW camps throughout the U.S.

Is there any record of 733rd field artillery battalion US Army stationed in Denbigh April through June 1944?

I couldn't find specific records for the 733rd Field Artillery Battalion in Denbigh for the months of April through June 1944. However, during that time, the United States Army was heavily involved in World War II, and many units were deployed and stationed in various locations. To obtain more precise information about the battalion's activities during that period, it may be best to consult official military records or archives.
