He must have jumped on to the rail tracks as a train was passing.
Maybe he was at the station waiting to catch a train back to his unit after home leave and just couldnt handle the idea of a return to combat.
December 1943, things were pretty intense on the combat fronts. There must have been many thousands of soldier suicides.

Hi Eric-Jan,
It is not in my dictionanry either, however there is not a lot else that it could be!
I have just checked Wikipedia and it says that enthaupten is from Latin and Dekapitation is from the French décapiter.
