January 24, 2009 -- Added History of Combat Command B, courtesy of Pat Lennon. Pat's late husband Horace (25th Armored Combat Engineer Bn.) had been given this document for safe-keeping just before leaving for Europe for home, and he held on to it for 60+ years. Pat and son Warren scanned every page and saved them as PDFs. Now this day-by-day account of 6th Armored Division combat operations is available for everybody.

January 3, 2009 -- Replaced the original, tiny photos in the History of the 212th AFA Bn. with new scans. When this site first went on-line, we were on AOL, and had to fit everything within 2 Megabytes. The graphics were kept small and compressed to minimize space, and the scanner & software used in 1995 left some room for improvement anyhow.

December 29, 2008 -- RESCANNED CAMPAIGN MAP
The 6th Armored Division Campaign Map has been rescanned, replacing the 14-year-old low-res version which has been provided here in multiple segments with areas cropped off.

December 28, 2008 -- REUNION: OCTOBER, 2009, Memphis, TN
Although the Sixth Armored Division Association officially disbanded in 2000, the 9th AIB has opened its battalion reunions to ALL division veterans and family members.

December 28, 2008 -- 25th Eng. now on-line! Companies A and B of the 25th Armored Combat Engineer Battalion now have PDF histories available on this site, thanks to the efforts of Pat Lennon (widow of Horace Lennon) and Jared Opalinski (grandson of Dewitt Green.

February 25, 2008 -- A site devoted to the Super Sixth's 76th Armored Medical Battalion has come on-line, thanks to Al Sims, son of battalion veteran T/Sgt John Sims. Lots of new photos and information about both the Division and this under-recognized unit.

November 17, 2007 -- The Combat History of the 50th Armored Infantry Battalion has been added to the web site, thanks to the effort of Marian Deeney (Assoc., 146th Sig. Co.).

Charlie Barbour's 86th Cavalry Recon site, "Mount Up!", has relocated here from its longtime home on mindspring/earthlink.

The late Forrest C. Longwell, a Sergeant in the 9th AIB, took the time to pen this moving piece based on his experience in April 1945:

New titles and address for Hofmann titles

Fans of the 6th Armored Division know that Dr. George Hofmann is the authority on the Division's history, as well as on armor topics in general. Dr. Hofmann has a new ordering address, and a new book as well .

Note about super6th e-mail: After 10 years on the web, the world.std.com mail account featured on this web site has become so spam infested that it is practically useless. My sincerest apologies to anybody who has tried to send a legitimate query to that address over the past year, only to have it ignored. This new address (super6th at verizon period net) is new and should be good for a while.
