My cousin, Flight Officer Abe Teller, was a navigator on a Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress during World War II. Abe was assigned to the 379th Bomb Group, 1st Air Division, 8th Air Force based in Kimbolton, England. He flew two combat missions, the first on April 19, 1945 to bomb a Nazi factory in Elsterwerda, Germany. On April 25, 1945, the 8th Air Force conducted its final major strategic bombing mission of World War II, heavily damaging the Škoda Works factory in Pilsen, Czechoslovakia. Abe's B-17, The Thumper, collided mid-air with another aircraft due to flak and went down. He and SGT Norman Cooler bailed and were the only survivors; both were held as German POWs before Pilsen was liberated by Patton's 3rd Army on May 6, 1945. He received a Purple Heart.

His war ended in February 1945 when he developed frostbite in his feet after the Battle of the Bulge, the largest battle in U.S. Army history.
