Julius C. Wittenberg was born on May 2, 1920, in La Crosse to Frank and Sylvia (Miles) Wittenberg.1 He was named after his grandfather, Julius Wittenberg.2 Frank Wittenberg was a painter and wallpaper hanger.3 Young Julius was just four years old when Sylvia Wittenberg filed for divorce in September 1924 from her husband of 18 years. She alleged that Frank Wittenberg had "repeatedly struck her, used abusive language toward her and failed to properly support her."4 2 Four years later, Frank Wittenberg was living in Waupun, Wisconsin.5 He had taken a job as a guard at the Wisconsin state prison in Waupun. Julius, and his brother, Frank Jr., who was two years older, lived with their father at Waupun, as did a 21-year-old housekeeper named Virginia H. Ebner.6 Sylvia Wittenberg had also moved on. In October 1929, she married Arthur Hoeft in the German Lutheran parsonage in Caledonia, Minnesota.7 Arthur Hoeft of La Crosse was a veteran of World War I.8 In 1924, he had started working for his sister, Helen Mae Hoeft, at the Paramount Photo Shop at 225 Main Street.

  • Lance Corporal Peter Conacher Died
    Name: Peter Conacher Position: Lance Corporal DOB-DOD: 1919- 9 September 1943 Peter Conacher, Lance Corporal for the Royal Signals 231st Brigade, British Army, died during the period of Allied invasion of the Italian mainland. The Allied invasion of Sicily was to be the first of three amphibious assault landings conducted by the 231st Brigade during the war. The brigade was constituted as an independent brigade group under the command of Brigadier Roy Urquhart (later famous as commander of the 1st Airborne Division which was destroyed at Arnhem in September 1944). After some hard fighting, including the 2nd Devons at Regalbuto amongst the foothills of Mount Etna, the Germans were driven from Sicily and the Allies prepared to invade Italy. The 231st Brigade's second assault landing was at Porto San Venere on 7 September 1943, when the Allies invaded Italy. They were now experienced amphibious assault troops, however during this period Lance Corporal Peter Conacher died. After the September assault, the 231st Brigade became an integral part of the veteran 50th (Northumbrian) Infantry Division and was recalled to England with the division, to prepare for the Allied invasion of Normandy, scheduled for the spring of 1944. In February 1944 Brigadier Sir A.B.G. Stanier assumed command of the brigade. Peter was remembered by his parents Hugh and Marion Conacher of Dundee. He is buried in Salerno War Cemetery and his name is also recorded on a memorial situated in Dundee Telephone Hse having joined PO Engineering in March 1942. His parents provided a very touching and deeply moving inscription in memory of their son “THOUGH ABSENT HE IS EVER NEAR STILL MISSED, STILL LOVED EVER DEAR”.

SITUATION Enemy Forces (S/NATO) Although the city of STOCKHOLM itself has been shattered by Soviet nuclear missiles, the enemy forces near STOCKHOLM include 336th Guards Naval Infantry Brigade (UPPSALA), 76th Guards Airborne Division (ARBOGA), 125th Tank Battalion (KATRINEHOLM), and 317th Naval Infantry Battalion (NYKÖPING). These units are understrength and consist mainly of light infantry with few serviceable armored fighting vehicles. Nearby units to the south include 318th Naval Infantry Battalion (NORRKÖPING), 1st Guards Motor-Rifle Division (LINKÖPING), and 131st Pechenga Motor-Rifle Division (VÄSTERVIK). (S/NATO) The enemy’s Capabilities include defensive positions in their cantonment areas. They might have increased supplies of ammunition and prepared additional fighting positions over the winter. Enemy Limitations include understrength units weakened by continued combat against Swedish partisans, insufficient food and fuel, poor communications, lack of air cover, no direct land supply routes, and a doctrinal tendency toward low-momentum operations. (S/NATO) The enemy’s most likely Course of Action (EMLCOA) is to hold and defend. (S/NATO) The enemy’s most dangerous Course of Action for the success of this operation would be to hold their positions and counterattack with their southern units into our flanks.
