Earl Kinne was born January 6th, 1920, in Pomona California. He grew up in southern California and joined the US Army in 1942. He served as a paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne Division in Germany, Sicily, and Italy. While in Germany in 1945, Kinne and a fellow soldier were ordered to go to Ludwigslust, a small town in Germany, to take the townspeople to Wöbbelin, a nearby sub-camp of Neuengamme concentration camp, to witness the unburied bodies and other evidence of the atrocities that had occurred there. The United States Army forced the townspeople to bury the dead. Kinne passed away at age 90, July 19th, 2010.
