Dom Lombardo (d. May 8, 1945) was a soldier in the United States Army. He served in the European Theater of World War II.[1] On May 8, 1945, the day after Germany unconditionally surrendered, Lombardo was on patrol in a town called Lichtenau with Sgt. Charlie Pytlak.[2] After accepting the surrender of a group of German soldiers, and turning them into the Army, Lombardo and Pytlak returned to their patrol.[3] As they passed a derelict vehicle, a bomb planted inside went off. Lombardo was killed instantly; Pytlak lingered long enough to see the extent of his own injuries before dying in pain.[4]
Pytlak and Lombardo were the first American victims of the German Freedom Front.
