I also found a Leonard J. Steinsdoerfer, born Dec. 15, 1917, died September 27, 1977. Private in U.S. Army during World War II, buried in St. Mary's Cemetery in McHenry, Illinois.
Also, Alvin N. Steinsdoerfer, born 17 January 1916 and buried in McHenry, Illinois. It listed both Woodland Cemetery and St. Mary's Cemetery for him.
The dates of birth would match the ages in 1944, so these were most likely three of the five brothers. I couldn't find anything about the Richard and Irvin Steinsdoerfer brothers.
I did, however, find a Donald W. Steinsdoerfer, born in 1922, died in 2000 who served in the Army during World War II in Find-a-Grave. he was born Feb. 24, 1922, in McHenry, Illinois. Most likely a relative of the others.

My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.
