Thomas Helm

SSGT Thomas J Helm was assigned to the 301st BG 0th . He was from Dallas TX

From the current records we have obtained and transcribed, we have not been able to determine which squadron Thomas Helm was assigned, therefore the listing is under the Headquarters Section. Additionally, as is often the case for awards that are issued for the soldier/airman who was shotdown, killed or captured, as well as those who had finished their tour of missions and came back to the states, these individuals had been taken off of the squadron records and thus all of their paperwork would be attributed to the headquarters.

The following information on Thomas Helm is gathered and extracted from military records. We have many documents and copies of documents, including military award documents. It is from these documents that we have found this information on SSGT Helm. These serviceman's records are nowhere near complete and we are always looking for more material. If you can help add to Thomas Helm's military record please contact us.
