Pvt Norman T. Hahs enlisted at Jefferson Barracks, Missouri on 13 April 1944.

He was killed along with 5 other soldiers (Mangin, Thorpe, Binder, Callen and Hudzinski) and was buried in Munshausen cemetery. There was a service in the old chapel and the bodies (two to a wooden box) were buried in the church yard.

In April 1945 the bodies were turned over to the U.S. Army and reburied at the Temporary American Military Cemetery of Foy, Belgium.
