Comments:

Harry Allen Danniger was born on June 12, 1917, in Cumberland, Barron County, Wisconsin. He was the son of Joseph Frank, of San Bernardino, California, and Mary (nee Hines) Danniger.

Harry served in the 419 Squadron of the Royal Canadian Air Force as a Flying Officer during World War II. He was one of seven crew members on Halifax JD210 VR-S also known as "Happy Valley Sally". On the night of September 5/6, 1943, they were part of a six-hundred-plus bomber stream targeting Mannheim and nearby Ludwigshafen. During the raid, their plane was brought down; it crashed on the east bank of the river Altrhein, 3 km west of Huttenheim.
