Not as filled in as others shown but here is one of mine.

Krause probably served at SS-Ausbildungs-Abteilung Sicherungs-Polizei- und SD Konitz.

He died on the whaling ship "Walter Rau" on 23.3.45, and is buried in Copenhagen, Denmark.

DS "Walter Rau" was a converted whaling ship used for Operation Hannibal. Operation Hannibal was a German military operation involving the evacuation by sea of German troops and civilians from Courland, East Prussia, and the Polish Corridor from mid-January to May, 1945 as the Soviets advanced during the East Prussian and East Pomeranian Offensives.

On 23.3.45, as Soviet tanks reached the shore of Zoppot between Gotenhafen (Gydinia) and Danzig (Gdańsk), the whaler "Walter Rau" was the last big ship to leave Gotenhafen (Gydinia), with over 6,000 refugees and wounded onboard. Krause was probably mortally wounded during the defensive battles and was one of the wounded evacuees. He must have died of his injuries onboard the ship.
