We have attempted to limit the number of records one needs to search to find specific information by ordering the records by unit, type and date. You may find documents for a specific period in the various command levels. Generally, reports from the 101st Airborne Division will not have as much specific detail as Daily Staff Journals filed from the battalion level.
If you have documents pertaining to the 506th Infantry that you are willing to share please pass them on and we will add them to this site. As we receive documents this section will be updated.
