    1945 November 26-December 2 from Red Raider to Marine Raider

    1 1945 November 26-December 2 From Red Raider to Marine Raider (La Crosse Tribune, 1945 December 2, page 13) (La Crosse Tribune, 1944 March 5, page 7) Julius Wittenberg of La Crosse was a kid from a broken home who made his mark as a high school athlete and went on to become a member of one of the elite fighting units of World War II. 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. Helen Hoeft and photographer Millard Reynolds had created the first mail-order photo finishing business in the nation, and she named it Ray's Photo Service.

  • Modern Application of Mechanized-Cavalry Groups for Cavalry Echelons Above Brigade by MAJ Joseph J

    Modern Application of Mechanized-Cavalry Groups for Cavalry Echelons Above Brigade by MAJ Joseph J

    Modern Application of Mechanized-Cavalry Groups for Cavalry Echelons Above Brigade by MAJ Joseph J. Dumas The Army faces a dilemma much like it did at the onset of World War II: although the war provided an opportunity to rapidly codify cavalry organizations and doctrine, the Army squandered the opportunity to do so in the period before the war, when the branch bifurcated and the Army’s mounted arm floundered. This bifurcation had repercussions on the United States’ warfighting ability as we entered World War II, as branch identity then – tied to the platform known as the “noble companion” (the horse) – stifled organizational and doctrinal development right up to our nation’s entrance into the war. Consequently, mechanized-cavalry formations entered combat with theoretical concepts about their employment and their vehicle platforms underpowered against the Axis.1 As an example of this mismatch in theoretical concepts, early mechanized-cavalry doctrine peddled stealthy reconnaissance, but combat experience in North Africa during Operation Torch didn’t validate pre-war doctrinal theory.2 However, organization of the mechanized-cavalry groups (MCGs) created effective formations (see Figure 1)3 even if the platforms they fought from were not always optimal. Figure 1. MCG structure in World War II. In spite of these problems, the MCGs’ performance in the European Theater of Operations (ETO) during World War II made a profound impression of operational relevancy on Army senior leaders who fought in the ETO.4 As noted by Armor Branch historian Dr. Robert S. Cameron, MCGs – enabled with combined-arms attachments – became capable combat organizations able to execute a broad range of mission sets for their assigned corps headquarters.5 Like its World War II predecessor, it seems as if today’s Army has some capability gaps and some relevancy concerns regarding cavalry organizations and doctrine.

    This Index Lists the Army Units for Which Records Are Available at the Eisenhower Library

    DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER LIBRARY ABILENE, KANSAS U.S. ARMY: Unit Records, 1917-1950 Linear feet: 687 Approximate number of pages: 1,300,000 The U.S. Army Unit Records collection (formerly: U.S. Army, U.S. Forces, European Theater: Selected After Action Reports, 1941-45) primarily spans the period from 1917 to 1950, with the bulk of the material covering the World War II years (1942-45). The collection is comprised of organizational and operational records and miscellaneous historical material from the files of army units that served in World War II. The collection was originally in the custody of the World War II Records Division (now the Modern Military Records Branch), National Archives and Records Service. The material was withdrawn from their holdings in 1960 and sent to the Kansas City Federal Records Center for shipment to the Eisenhower Library. The records were received by the Library from the Kansas City Records Center on June 1, 1962. Most of the collection contained formerly classified material that was bulk-declassified on June 29, 1973, under declassification project number 735035. General restrictions on the use of records in the National Archives still apply. The collection consists primarily of material from infantry, airborne, cavalry, armor, artillery, engineer, and tank destroyer units; roughly half of the collection consists of material from infantry units, division through company levels. Although the collection contains material from over 2,000 units, with each unit forming a separate series, every army unit that served in World War II is not represented. Approximately seventy-five percent of the documents are from units in the European Theater of Operations, about twenty percent from the Pacific theater, and about five percent from units that served in the western hemisphere during World War II.
