Untitled[edit]

A business card of Albert Arthur Schaufelberger. Jr., Lieutenant Commander, United States Navy: was found in my father's WW2 documents. My Australian father enlisted in 1943 in the US Army Services of Supply Southwest Pacific Area Transportation Service Small Ships Section A.P.O. 927. Handwritten notes on Card:- 1x633, 573, Lieut Com. Lamb. Why would he have this card adn what do the hand written notes mean? Lt Com. A. A. Schaufelberger Jnr may have been a Lt Commander (Frogman) in WW2 in the Pacific Region. Apparently there were three A A Schaufelberger 1, 11, and 111.

I'm not sure which one the three was the Albert A above or Albert A below.

In later years Schaufelberger Jnr appears to have become a member of the CIA - Chief Commanding Officer in command of Oliver North + many others (ref El Salvador) He was murdered 1830 hrs on 25 May 1983. At the time he was the senior Naval representative at the U.S. Military Group, El Salvador. He was assassinated on the grounds of the Central American University in San Salvador. He may have been a “Navy Seal”/”Navy Frogman” at one stage in his life and a member of United States Naval Special Warfare Command. Speculation is that he may have been killed by a government “death squad” in a “black” operation – a double blind to blame the guerrillas and win increased military assistance.

Albert A. Schaufelberger[edit]

Al Schaufelberger's asasination made the cover of the June 6th 1983 edition of "Newsweek" magazine (U.S. edition "THE FIRST CASUALTY" and European edition "SHOOTING TO KILL"). World exclusive cover picture taken one week before his death by combat photographer Sacha Rocos (Gamma/Liaison). Previous pictures of him were taken (rear view/ civilian clothes only for security) by Magnum Agency in Paris.

The Newsweek article carries a detailed background of him.

He was a US Navy SEAL, second in command of the US MILGROUP advising the Salvadoran Military on counter insurgency and weapons traffic interdiction operations - especially naval ops in the Gulf of Fonseca centred out of the La Union naval base.

He was a graduate of Annapolis Naval Academy and an american football player at school.

WPMILHIST Assessment[edit]

The citation format's a bit off. Also, I really do not understand the attraction to adding information about whether or not he was an avid football player to soldier's articles. This is meant to be an academic, professional encyclopedia, not a collection of human interest stories. Otherwise, a fine start though. LordAmeth 01:07, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
