Feierabend, a Milwaukee, Wisconsin resident who served with the Chicago Ordnance District (U.S. Army) during World War II, and also participated with the Citizens' Military Training Camps (CMTC) and Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) prior to the war. Manuscripts in the collection mostly pertain to his time as an Army officer with the Chicago Ordnance District. Included are notebooks, memorandums, evaluations, communications, and special orders from his time as chief of the Carriage, Recoil, and Anti-Aircraft Section, Artillery Branch, and his appointment as a production planning and control officer after the war. Records from his time at the CCC include accident investigation reports and instructions for improved menus at all CCC camps. Manuscripts from his CMTC training include an outline of the mission of the CMTC and photocopies of selected pages from training camp yearbooks. Additional manuscripts include biographical materials, correspondence (letters, postcards, and V-mail) from friends and relatives who also served in the war, and certificates concerning his later veteran activities. There are two clipping scrapbooks. One contains articles from “The Reserve Officer” magazine, while the other has news clippings from September 1939 addressing the outbreak of World War II. Three photo albums in the collection, each cover the three elements of his military service. Providing a glimpse of training received by program participants, the CMTC album has images of soldiers in training, various camp sites, and group photographs. CCC album images show work performed at various sites in Wisconsin and include campsite scenes, men working and posing for the camera, and scenic Wisconsin views. Although the Chicago Ordnance District album primarily depicts office work and meetings, there are also some images of soldiers training, construction of artillery carriages, and Feierabend relaxing with fellow employees. Loose photographs are similar to those found in the three photo albums. Although Feierabend was not assigned to the European Theater, there are also images taken in Europe, possibly sent to him by relatives and friends serving overseas during the war. These include some Signal Corps photographs taken in the field, but most were taken in Paris after its liberation. The video recordings are original 8mm film, taken presumably by Feierabend during Officers Reserve Corps training. The three films include footage of the campsite, men working around camp, and training maneuvers. Of particular interest is footage of men undergoing gas training, and several tanks demonstrating their maneuverability and firepower. |
