More information
1st Lt Everett C. Vogt attended St. Louis University where he was a business manager of the Glee Club and had a bachelor in science.The company operated a clearing station at Dobbelmannweg unitl 13:30 hrs at which it was bombed for the third time. Since the location had been struck by boms at 10:00 hrs and by rockets at 11:30 hrs, it was deemed advisable to move the unit to a new loaction following the last bombing which rendered the building untenable because all windows had been blown out.
Most likely Lt Vogt was killed during one of these bombings.
He was initially buried at the Temporary American Militery Cemetery of Molenhoek near Nijmegen, the Netherlands.
