he was Max Trunzer, elektriker, born in Regensburg on 29th june 1925 and he was missing in action when he was an obergefreiter in 1st Panzer Pionier Battalion HG near Posen in January 1945. I think that he is not in a German cemetery buried.

Great stuff, love local pickups, so easy to link them to certain units and "give" it some history!

I friend if my, son of an Austrian Afrikakorps veteran, travelled North Africa in the 70s to see where his father had fought 30 years back. He said it was just incredible how much stuff was still lying around. Some bits of the desert must have been covered in equipment, he said he even saw 88 Flaks left behind and destroyed tanks.
He also told me the North African authorities did not like people visiting the battlefields, and there was always a risk of being caught and locked up.

Yes true Matthias, but there are still a lot of unexploded mines. that's why the authorities are warning
