German Soldier Died in the Eastern Front

[Renato]

Hi

I'm new to this forum. First of all, I want to greet everyone here.
My name is Renato, I'm from Brazil.

I've been trying to find information on a Wehrmacht soldier (don't know the rank, only know it was no higher than the German equivalent of a sargent), an infantry soldier (is that how it is called?).

I've even been to the German Consulate here, but to no avail.
The soldier's last name was Fützel or Futzel, but I don't know his first name. He died in the Eastern front after Stalingrad, during the autumn or winter.
I'm sorry I don't have much more info to provide.

I'm having difficulty using the sites you have suggested, such as the one about grave records, partly because I hardly know any German word, and mostly because I have so little information to start my search with.

Could anyone give me any hint?
Thank you very much.

Without his first name and/or date of birth, there is no chance. And if you had those, you would be asked to prove that you are a family member or a relative.

I think your best option is to try this: http://www.volksbund.de/graebersuche/content_suche.asp

But I just tried for you, and not a singe Futzel or Fützel is listed... So you probably have the name spelled wrong.
As long as a name isnt too comon, you can find out some usefull info from that site.
