Significant source:

Son Justin SEITENBACH was killed in action whilst serving for the US army in North Africa. The story of how his parents sent their 3 sons to America in order to save them from the Nazis but then that all 3 of them enlisted to the US army - and Justin died as a brave soldier - was found so moving and uplifting that his obituary was highlighted on the front cover of the Aufbau newspaper:

This article shows a large photo of Justin and a pair of smaller photos of his brothers. Further details about the family are also given.

Father could be Julius SEITENBACH, named as "Vorstand" - President/chairperson - of Jewish Community in Schweinshaupten/Sulzbach?
