Dear Sharon,
Herman Weiner was my uncle. He was born in 1920 in Massachusetts but grew up in New York City. He was married but had no children. As someone posted previously, he died on March 31, 1945 and is buried in Margraten, Netherlands. I was born soon after the war but heard about him from my mother and my aunt, who clearly still missed their baby brother even decades later. They said that he was riding in the back of a truck with other soldiers, returning from a Passover seder, when a German POW accidentally detonated a mine while working on the road. Herman was the only fatality (and if I remember my mother right, the only casualty). I was thrilled to find a reference from someone who knew him well and would love to have any pictures - you can scan and send them online if you prefer to keep the originals.
Thank you,
Brad Smith
