WWII 11th Airborne Hero Los Banos Rescue In Honor of Harry Krumm... A WWII HERO Harry Krumm was one of those brave souls that helped to rescue Herman Beaber and over two thousand other internees at Los Baños with the 11th Airborne division, nicknamed "The Angels" on February 23, 1945. According to reports he made nine combat jumps, each one was almost as suicidal as the next but he came through with only a little scrapes and wounds. Having seen the cruelty of the enemy Japs and the starving bodies of the rescued, he never had any mercy for the enemy. On one jump he and his fellow paratroopers had to jump into enemy lines. Coming down they were open targets. His buddy was riddled with bullets. Harry landed first without a wound and his buddy landed on top of him. He was covered with blood. Now comes the Jap soldier to finish them off. Harry said... "I never held my breath so long in my life." When the Jap was satisfied they were both dead, he urinated on both of them and went on. I guess it was a kind of oriental humiliation ritual. This is perhaps why Harry never had much love for them after all that. Harry is gone now, to be with "The Angels" but his memory will live on forever.
