Good site re: 8th Air Force...

Dad had a cousin who was lost in the 350th squadron. Grandma lost a brother, also over Germany.

Few families were not affected in some way.

My wife's father who was a German immigrant circa early 30's lost his ENTIRE family (perhaps 2 dozen individuals) when the Russians overran Breslau.

Hard to imagine.
