I am very pleased to have found this site dedicated to the 733rd. My Dad joined in Texas and continued until the end at Passau. He did not talk about the war often, but did some in his later years after reconnecting with some 733 alums in our area. I believe he served doing advance party work to set up op’s and radio wire. I have some reunion photos and a couple of wartime photos that might be of interest particularly one of a baseball catch on a bridge. I’d be delighted to catch up with Paul or others to share and maybe fill in a couple of gaps.

I thought I had replied to this, but apparently it got by me!

Welcome to the group, and yes I would love to connect with you on this and hear more. Please email me at

It sounds like it’s possible that your father and my grandfather may have spent some time together or even served together side by side! Small world.

If you have any photos, you can send them to that address and I’ll upload them to this website. Please send them with captions if you have them.

Look forward to hearing from you!
Paul
