Help to read this name

[Douglas Jr.]

Hi folks,

Can anyone help me to read the name of this soldier:

(????) Karl Albert Priebe.

Is it correct?

Thanks,

Douglas.

Hello Douglas,

It looks like Walter, Karl, Albert Friebe but could also be Priebe.

Sorry I couldn't help you out 100% with both names.

Tony,

Thanks for our help. In fact, it seems to be Walter. Just trying to decipher the handwritting, here is other scan of his name. It looks like Priebe to me...

Douglas.

Hello Douglas,

It's got me stumped, I couldn't say if that was a F or P. There are 417 Friebe's and 267 Priebe's on the German war graves site so you can obviously spell the name both ways. Of those killed in WWII, 4 of them were Walter Friebe and 7 were Walter Priebe.
