Does anyone know of any and/or all these specific kind of lost love cases?
1) Ones where people were saved from specific dangerous situations, like a car accident turned into a fire.
2) Cases where a stranger helped someone get rescued from a terrible place like a concentration camp.
3) Military members who helped out a foreigner in a special way
Can anyone list cases that fit descriptions like these?
I just enjoy lost love cases where a person is looking for someone who was a complete stranger to them. It's kind of like finding a fugitive, except they are being searched for for good reasons.

They make good human interest stories.
I remember a 1998 segment about a woman (whose name I can't remember) who was injured in a 1995 car accident, and a truck driver positioned her head so that she could breathe. The woman was interviewed on the show, since she wanted to thank the unknown truck driver who saved her life.
Although the case was unsolved when I last checked, I consider it solvable.

Here's a link to Thor's UM wikia page about Lost Loves. His site is more complete than the official UM site. I'd add more details, but my computer in broken and I'm on an old laptop with a browser that crashes almost every time I click a link. Sorry....

I remember several cases that fit your criteria. Unfortunately, I'm not the best with names when it comes to the "Lost Loves" category, so maybe someone here can fill in the gaps. Here are a few of the more memorable/touching ones. It seems that a lot of these go unsolved for some reason...
A 1996 story about a car accident involving several motor vehicles in which an unidentified man rescued a baby from a car that was on fire and about to explode. I believe the parents were incapacitated in the accident and this guy just came in at the last minute to rescue the child. The Good Samaritan wasn't involved in the accident himself, I think he just stopped to assist. The parents wanted to find and thank him. I never did see an update to this one.
A 1997 story about a woman who saved a motorcyclist from drowning. He swerved to miss a huge puddle in the road and ended up face down and unconscious in that same puddle after crashing his bike while attempting to avoid it. An unidentified woman came upon the scene and turned him over the water, a move that no doubt saved his life. The man was a new father as I recall. I do believe this was updated when the woman was located.
A 1989-1990 era story about a man who was trying to find an American GI who had given him a miniature American flag and food after he was liberated from a Nazi concentration camp and dying of starvation. I don't believe this was ever solved.
EDIT - I'm surprised more of these weren't solved. These are the kind of stories that one would think the Good Samaritans involved might pass on to other friends or family members and someone who knows the person would catch the UM episode. Weird.
