92nd Signal Construction Battalion

Where the Birds Never Sing: The True Story of the 92nd Signal Battalion and the Liberation of Dachau by Jack Sacco

Jack Sacco claims his book is the story of his late father Joe Sacco's service in Company A, 92nd Signal Construction Battalion.

The book does not detail under which units the 92nd served. They appear initially to have have been in the XV Corp, Third Army then later XV Corp, Seventh Army.

Soldiers of the 92nd appear to have been inside the concentration camp for a very brief period on April 29, 1945 sometime in the late afternoon until the camp was closed to unauthorized soldiers and units about 2000/8 PM.
 

Jack Sacco claims soldiers of the 92nd

The author does not appear to have correlated or corroborated the oral histories of 92nd soldiers with official Army records or postwar histories of the liberation of Dachau. Nor does he appear to have had his work reviewed by a historical scholar. His book appears to be a novelization of many false, fabricated, exaggerated, inaccurate accounts from many sources of what occurred on April 29, 1945. What he wrote can is harmful as it can be used by Holocaust deniers and historical revisionists.
