Hello, my mothers first husband (Robert Russell Roberts) was crew member on DV-276, shot down and killed with the rest of the crew during the Nuremberg Raid on 1944. I am attempting to help memorialize these brave men, with documenting their lives and time a Ludford Magna through what photos...
Robert was married to.my mother. I would appreciate any help finding information about the crew, their operations, and service records. Especially interested in connecting with any men who served with the 101st during this time. Thanks Rob Wenman
