S/Sgt David Rosenkrantz
82nd Airborne
504 PIR
H Company

 Map of Holland showing where Dave died in battle

The blue line is the Wylerbaan Road. The dark markings indicates the battle front with Germany being on the right. Lots of fighting went on here.
 
The red circle is the approximate location where Dave was killed based on what I can interpret from information given to me. The green circle is a closer approximation based on further information received from Holland in Spring 1999. H Company was in enemy territory and victims of a counterattack. Dave was killed here on September 27, 1944. His body was left behind because the unit had to take cover and slip out that night. He was listed MIA Sept 28, 1944.
 
I would like to thank several researchers in Holland for providing me this information -- PRR
