Info about 664th Tank Destroyer Battalion

While I was researching my grandfather's WWII service, I decided to start researching my step-grandfather's service. Anyone out there have any unique information pertaining to the 664th Tank Destroyer Battalion? I have found two websites which have a substantial amount on there, and I did find my step-granfather's name listed in a company listing.

Any additional info would be greatly appreciated.

 

The "664th Tank Destroyer Battalion?" I can find no record of the unit going overseas during WW 2.

According to Stanton's book, WWII Order of Battle, the 664th was activated at Fort Hood, Texas on 8 May 1943 and inactivated at Camp Maxey, Texas on12 May 1944. The personnel were transfered to the 125th Infantry Regiment.

After several assignments in the US, the 125th Infantry ended up as part of the Replacement and School Command, and was inactivated at Camp Rucker, Alabama on 20 September 1945.

Here is what "Order of Battle; US Army in World War II by Shelby L. Stanton has to say about the 664th TD Battalion: Activated 8 May 43 at Camp Hood, TX. Deactivated 12 May 44 at Camp Maxey, TX. Personnel transferred to 125rd Infantry (Separate).

 

Sorry to all, I posted my question in the early morning hours and misstated the Battalion. It was the 644th TD Battalion (not the 664th). SORRY for taking up your time with that mistake.

I have found a couple of websites which tell the 644th's history in great detail. I was wondering if any members had any unique persepective or possessed any good info on the Battalion.

One fact I did discover that was amazing was that, my grandfather was killed in the Battle of the Bulge as a member of the 2nd Inf Division. My grandmother remarried a couple years after the War to a gentleman who fought with the 644th TD Batttalion. Come to find out, on the day my grandfather was killed near Krinkelt, my step-grandfather was a member of the 644th, which was actually attached to the 2nd INf Division. Which is kind of amazing when you think about how many soldiers there were and how spread out they were, to be attached to the same Inf Division kind of makes you think.

Anyways, sorry for the mistake, still looking to see what you all have. Thanks again.
