U.S. Navy 913 |
I was stationed at the Marine School in Bremerhaven from 24 December 1946 - 10 June 1948. It was called U.S. Navy 913. I was a Commissary Storekeeper (SN 1/C). I landed in Bremerhaven on my 18th birthday. It was just after the war had ended. Email John at: jwkrebs2428@verizion.net |
