      I think he died as a grenadier...

      My books:

      - THE WEHRPAß & SOLDBUCH OF THE WH
      - THE SS TK RING
      - THE ITALIAN-GERMAN MEDAL
      - THE ANTI PARTISAN BADGE
      - THE AWARDS OF THE LW

      and more!

                and Paul falls precisely immediately after the landing in Sicily .... just north of Gela (a map of the many landing to mark the place of the HG) ....

                July 12, 1943, the battle in the plain of Gela where the HG and the Livorno Division had unsuccessfully fought back to counter and thrown back overboard Americans .....
                the map shows above where was the Gren. Reg. 2 of Paul that July 12, about between Caltagirone and Granmichele to defend the road to Catania .... probably our young grenadiers fell under the heavy naval and aerial bombardment to which she was subjected division
