George Carl Rosenow was born on June 4, 1919, in Sioux City, Iowa. He was the son of Charles Ernest Rosenow and Nettie Hansen Rosenow.
George served in the 452nd Bomber Squadron, 322nd Bomber Group, Medium, as a Second Lieutenant and Co-Pilot on the B-26 Marauder #43-634146 during World War II.
On the return trip from a mission to bomb a bridge at Trier, Germany, on November 9, 1944, his crew encountered severe icing conditions. It was surmised that this was the cause when they crashed near Forest de Vau in Gondrecourt-le-Chateau, France. Unfortunately, all men on board were killed.
2Lt Rosenow is now buried in the Graceland Park Cemetery, Sioux City, Woodbury County, Iowa, USA.
