Interesting early Wehrpass entries!

[chris235]

This guy was with IR 7 then IR 232.

A rather strange wehrpass, came with two letters one from his fellow soldier whos arms he died in. With his last words to his wife etc..

I am writing the enteries into a word document, I need help with these pages.

I know there is some interesting ones for sure...

I also have not located the Place he died in for sure, that said I found Rschew, and in one letter is a detailed area location where he was buried in a mass grave.

Any help would be great..

The place he died is called "Bol Koscha":

Hi Gerdan!

Thanks for the information! I couldnt locate the area at all!

His name was Richard Gabling, I found him on Volksbund.

But any more information would be great.

In one of the letters it states the exact place where he is laying along with fellow comrades. They still have not been found, so I presume they are still there.
