Baessler (b. 1925) emigrated to the United States from Germany in 1931. He attended school in Salt Lake City, Utah, and joined the Seabees in June 1943. After basic training in Virginia, he was assigned to Pleasanton, California, prior to being shipped overseas. Attached to the 107th Seabee battalion, he served on Ebeye and Bigej Islands (part of the Marshall Islands), as a clerk and on various construction projects. He was transferred to Tinian (in the Marianas) where he worked as a baker for the duration of the war. He was discharged in June 1946. 42 pages. |
