Fallschirmjäger buried at La Cambe in Normandy

[PerMilitaria]

Hi!

I tought I would show you my german death card I got today. Fallchirmjäger Franz Estermann killed in St. Lô the 15 of June 1944. I think he is buried at La cambe (maybe someone would like to help me search after his grave), before me, the owner of this death card said to me that Estermann is buried at La cambe in Normandy. I like this death card really much, it's interesting!

Best wishes from Per.

sterbild

I don't think it is a reproduction. I have several sterbild and the quality of the print is good.

Death card were printed in many copies and sent to the soldier's family and relatives.
Very often, lots are found. I have two copies of the same card (a paratrooper buried in Italy)
