http://history06.photos.military.com/gallery/2041525_F3Zn5/ John S. Nelson II was an officer in the 87th Signal Company, responsible for the 87th Signal Company photos. His son, John III, also has censor's proofs of many combat and operations photos. He also has some interesting memorabilia...a section of communications cable they removed from behind enemy lines along the Siegfried line, a waffen ss sword that he believes came from Buchenwald. Per Mr. Nelson's son: "Friends, I have gone to Buchenwald each of the past two years - along with Koblenz, Bastogne, etc - trying to figure out where they really were. The written records are incomplete and contradictory. My dad died long ago after a tough life. It would be most helpful to find someone who knew him. I went to the 2003 reunion courtesy of Gladwin but no one there knew anyone from the 87th Signal Company. It also seemed like these were mostly enlisted men and the officers were - well, officers and separate. So I could really use some actual details, like how did they get to Buchenwald to take the photo in this gallery I submitted to you. Can anyone help? Not many of my materials are scanned as they are in a scrapbook that I have been reluctant to disassemble. But I could if they would be of real value. Thanks in advance for any advice you can give."
