This history of the 28th Signal Company covers the activities of the unit from 1936 through 1945. It contains personal anecdotes, recollections and photographs of Company veterans from the World War II period, as well as reports from a wide range of military and civilian sources. Because the Signal Company moved with the Division Headquarters, this account also includes much information about the 28th Infantry Division itself. Of particular interest to historians and researchers is a highly original examination of the events that led to The Battle of the Bulge. Based on declassifi ed secret information as well as personal accounts, this controversial and compelling analysis explains how The Bulge was not a "surprise attack" - but rather the springing of a carefully laid trap by Generals Eisenhower and Bradley to draw the Germans out from behind the heavily fortified Sigfried Line and engage them in the open. Also published here for the first time are the personal experiences of individual Bulge survivors recounting the opening days of the battle. With orders TO HOLD AT ALL COSTS, the men of the 28th Infantry Division stalled an overwhelmingly superior German force for three days, enabling the 101st Airborne Division to move into Bastogne. The author, Robert W. Cronenweth, served over a period of twenty-eight years in the 28th Signal Company and 28th Signal Battalion in grades from Private to Lieutenant Colonel.
This book relates first-hand, through original documents, personal accounts and numerous photographs, the history of the 28th Signal Company from its reversion to the peacetime Pennsylvania National Guard in July, 1946 through Korean War mobilization in 1950 to its reassignment as the 28th Signal Battalion in June, 1959. It will be of general interest to past and current members of the 28th Signal Company and the 28th Signal Battalion, and their families and friends. It may also interest military historians seeking details of signal activities and equipment during that period. The author is a former Division Signal Officer and Company Commander, and was the first commander of the new 28th Signal Battalion.
