A U.S. Army sergeant from Illinois who was reported missing during World War II was accounted for earlier this year.
U.S. Army Sergeant John W. Radanovich, 23, of Mount Olive, Illinois, was assigned to Company G, 2nd Battalion, 22nd Infantry Regiment, 4th Infantry Division in November 1944.
Many soldiers in Company G were killed, but Radanovich wasn't reported as a prisoner of war by the Germans, and his remains weren't immediately found.After the war, the American Graves Registration Command was in charge of finding and bringing back missing American people in Europe. They searched the Hürtgen area multiple times between 1946 and 1950, but they couldn't identify any of the remains they found as Radanovich.
The remains, buried in Ardennes American Cemetery in Neuville-en-Condroz, Belgium, were taken out for analysis in June 2021.
