I have gone through just a few of my items and came across young Werner Fischer. He was in Schutzen Rgt 101, which was the very early precursor to the Panzer Grenadiers. ObGfr Fischer saw very early action in Poland, Holland, Belgium, France, and Russia.
He gave his life for his Fatherland in early 1942 as the German Wehrmacht was trying to overcome the massive Soviet counter attacks that threw the Wehrmacht back from the very gates of Moscow. He had a younger brother who was also in the Wehrmacht, and hopefully survived. I could not find any of the names in Volksbund which I found odd.
ObGfr Fischer's family tries desperate to know the whereabouts of his grave, if he was found on the battlefield, and if they could have a photo. Since the area was lost to the enemy the OKW states it is not possible at this time to send a photo. This is just one of millions who gave their lives for what they believed in.
