The exact number I don't know. I do know that one of my dad's cousins, my dad was a World War II veteran of 10 campaigns in the ETO, who were in the 82nd Airborne Division, was killed on May 7, 1945, the last day of the war in Europe. A 2 1/2 ton truck he was riding on rolled over a German land mine that had been missed by the engineers. The explosion killed him and a few others. He was en route to meet his brother at a rest camp for American soldiers. The man's brother never recovered from this lose. I was told this by my dad growing up. I can't remember either mans name. You can never count on war ever being over. Does anyone know the history of casualties in the 82nd in World War II and if so, do you know this story and either of these men's names? Let me know. Thank you HGR
