    The website Fold3.com has a collection of scanned copies of various records for the 63rd Infantry Division. The records include unit histories, operations reports, division orders, photos, personal memoirs and morning reports. All documents can be downloaded, though you will have to sign up. I posted this link in this section because of the availability of the morning reports which can be very helpful for those doing research of family members who served in the 63rd Division.

    Credit needs to be given to Forum member mjmikelson who referenced this website in a different thread with respect to Missing Aircrew Reports (MACR).

    Just to clarify my previous post, the morning reports available are at the regimental, battalion and company levels. Another thing to clarify is that you do not have to sign up to view the documents, but you do if you wish to download them.

    This might help me with figuring out the name of the camp that resident that I know who was in the 63rd helped liberate. Thank you for sharing TD-Tommy! :)

    No problem, Smiley. Fortunately, the 63rd Division records are free. Other records on Fold3 require a membership to download. I elected to join and do not regret it.
