Ritterkreuztrager Oberleutnant Cord Tietjen, Kompanie Chef of 2./Fallsch. PiBtl

windhund, if Franz Würz survived Kreta and was wounded but later died, it is strange that the father (Johann) was not told and the EK2 is provided to the family. The tax form has Franz missing as recorded by the father and another letter (august 1941) from FJ to Johann which indicates Johann is still searching for his son. It makes it a bit more difficult. regards graeme

Graeme,

Thank you for your PM.

Here is the information you seek
Gefreiter Franziskus Würz
16.08.1921 born
20.05.1941 posted as missing east of Herkalion
06.07.1941 listed as wounded and in hospital
III./Fallschirmjäger Regiment 1

There was probably a delay in the family being informed.

Regards
David
