Nussbaum, Leslie B.
Additional Notes
I found some information on Nussbaum Leslie B. he was a member of the 101st airborne division 502nd parachute infantry Regiment who got killed on 19 september 1944 in my hometown Best in Holland during oparation Market Garden.
I saw that you had no date of death so I thought I send an email with the above information.
regards,
Christian Dijkhuizen
Best. Holland
I only have his servicenumber: that's 15078431. I did not know Mr. Nussbaum personally. These guys gave their lives for our freedom during world war two. Is their any way to optain some more information on Mr. Nussbaum, like his family or a picture of his grave or any other information?
Kind regards,
Christian Dijkhuizen

And a little more information can be found at

There are quite a few NUSSBAUMs still living in the area, but it
is a very common surname in the Wayne/Stark/Medina county area.
There is a slight chance that one of his siblings may yet be alive.
Most probably, the closest we could find is nieces/nephews.
I note that his brothers Harley and Robert Dean also served in
WWII. I'll have to update Harley's birthdate on my webpage.
