      Hi ! Your Guy was born in BAHRENFLETH (Schleswig, North Germany), he was "Landw.-Arbeiter" (Peasant). He served from 12.40 to 9.44 by Gren.Rgt.209. This regiment belonged to the 54.I.D. Other questions ? Lionel.

        From the Volksbund:

        Nachname: Mangels
        Vorname: Friedrich
        Dienstgrad: Obergefreiter
        Geburtsdatum: 10.11.1909
        Geburtsort: Bahrenfleth
        Todes-/Vermisstendatum: 17.09.1944
        Todes-/Vermisstenort: Jekawa

        Friedrich Mangels konnte im Rahmen unserer Umbettungsarbeiten nicht geborgen werden. Die vorgesehene Überführung zum Sammelfriedhof in Riga Beberbeki war somit leider nicht möglich. Sein Name wird im Gedenkbuch des Friedhofes verzeichnet

          Thanks for your replies Lionel and Hucks!

          Ok,can any of our German members translate the 2 lines at the bottom of Hucks post!

          Lionel,when you say peasent,does that mean farmer or such!

          I also note "Lenningrad" there in his later stages or am i wrong!

            The last two lines say that his grave could not be identified and so he could not be brought to the collective cemetary in Riga Beberbeki but his name is written in the remembrance book of the
            cemetary Beberbeki.

            "Landw(.irtschaftlicher) Arbeiter" is his profession - agricultural worker, same profession as his father had.

                      It is a marching order (not exactly dated but 1940) to sent Friedrich Mangels as replacement to

                      the unit "58. Infanterie Division".

                            Gents,today i recieved a letter from the Deutsche Dienststelle regarding Friedrich Mangels.

                            Please can one of you guys translate it please.

                            Folgendes konnte ermittelt werden;
                            Ist am 17.09.44 als angehoriger der einheit 14 inf-reg 209 in Jekawa gefallen

                            Er ist inschriftlich auf dem Friedhof Riga/Lettland erfasst,,Zur ehrung nicht zu bergen.

                            Diese form der ehrung erfolgt fur ehemalige wehrmachtangehorige,deren sterbliche U-berreste bei den umbettungsarbeiten nicht mehr identifiziert werden konnen,die also unter den Unbekannten umgebettet wurden,sowie in fallen,wo sterbliche uberreste im Ausbettungsbereich der jeweiligen sammelfriedhofsanlage nicht oder voraussichtlich nicht mehr zu bergen sind.

                            Ich hoffe,Ihnen behilflich gewesen zu sein.

                            Mit Freundlichen Gruben Im Auftrag,

                            Kurzawa.

                            Thanks

                              In general the Deutsche Dienststelle/WASt gave you the information that Friedrich Mangels was KIA 17.09.1944 near Jekawa as as a member of the unit 14 Inf. Regiment 209

                              His grave could not be found so his name is on a memory plate at the cemetery in Riga/Lettland.
