Neu was identified in this picture with IPW Team # 29, which was attached to the Headquarters Forward Echelon of the 3rd Armored "Spearhead" Division on January 14, 1944. He was German-born, Jewish, and had lived in St. In December, 1941 he married Rose Figlure, and they had one son, Theodore A. Steve has sent me much more info on RB Neu, which I will provide in future posts.
