Dwight Edgar Curtiss, Sr, Germany
Dwight Edgar Curtiss, Sr, taken in Germany at the German Air Base where Dwight Edgar Curtiss was stationed. He was Army Air Corp and was in Germany right as the war ended, so 1945/46 is our guess. He was in charge of the occupied air field, and talked about how they had to destroy the German planes by pulling them apart with tanks and cables. He talked about how the bombed buildings still had corpses in them and the smell from them. Also, how Dwight would take extra bread and butter and give it to the Germans who would grab scraps of food as the US soldiers were cleaning off their plates after eating; starving Germans.
