Interesting Yancy. Have you checked the Volksbund database to see if he was found again after the war and reburied?

Hello,

thanks Hans for your help!Simon i have never figured out how to check the Volksbund database,I should do a search of this site as im sure it has been explained here in one of the forums.

[J.N. Houterman]

If it's too much trouble for you to search the Volksbund database, I will gladly help you out. Just give a name and I will check it...

Hello,

the name is Erick Luhilfy,I appreciate you checking the name for me,BTW what is the volksbund data base website address?

[J.N. Houterman]

No one with that name. Are you sure about the spelling? Absolutely no one with that last name. And "Erick" doesn't sound too German (Erich ?).

The URL is: http://www.volksbund.de/

Cheers,

Hans

Hello,

sorry for the delay im responding,right after i posted this thread my computer crashed and i ended up haveing to buy a new one!Ive spent the last week trying to figure out how to use my new imageing software to shrink down pitures and scans so i could post them on the forum-(it was alot easier useing photoshop!)anyways as for the name i personally cant make out the name, the name i posted was on a page of research that the previous owner of this wehrpass had typed up and stuck in the inside pocket-if anyone could make out the name i would appreciate it!

[Johannes Schoen]

Hello,

the first name is Erich. The familiyname looks like Bochtisch or something similiar. Maybe You could just post a large image of just name. It is hard to read at the moment.

Hello,

sorry about the delay in posting the scan due to computer/imageing software problems i was unable to get a better scan,i have bought a new computer/scanner/software so im back in buisness,here is his name can anyone make it out?if anyone needs it enlarged anymore let me know.

[Gary T]

A good idea when you can't make out the name is to:

i) Look at the other details on the initial pages that have been filled out by the same hand and try and recognise how they've written different letters or combination of letters
ii) Look at the signature of the man hinself - different handwriting might be easier to read
iii) Look at the details of the next of kin - this will nearly always be in a different hand to that which initially filled out the WP

Yancy - can you post ii) and iii)?

[Ian Jewison]

I would say it is :

Erich Bastisch
