Edward Kronberger B.M.2c USN USS West Virginia 1941 |
It was the Japanese and a mistake that made Ed Kronberger a crew member
of the USS SALT LAKE CITY. When the bugle sounded for general quarters, Ed
headed for his turret. The sailors found the magazine locked. Ed climbed
up through the escape hatch to the well deck and escaped. His father and a
brother, who were also stationed on the WEST VIRGINIA, also escaped. SOURCE: Ed and Ruth Kronberger in 2000 See Edward Kronberger's page on the USS Salt Lake City web site at http://ussslcca25.com/kronberg.htm Ed served with his father Samuel and brother Robert on the USS West Virginia.
Edward M. Kronberger passed away on August 7, 2004. |
