Caro Alessio,

I really have some problems in reading the family name. Not even the name Kleist I could confirm. Mi dispiace.

Gerdan

I had a look in the list of the Volksbund and I found one

August Kleist, born 11 May 1905 - KIA 12 Sep 1944 near Krössin, burried in Pzepedz/Polen.

If this will help you ?

Hello Gerdan..thanks again for your help....these tropical straps have been found in a farmer near Florence, previous owner was most probably a member of the 4^ Fjager division that fought there against 91^ US infantry division.....
I am almost sure last letters of the second name are "eist"...but just now I have an idea.....might be the first letter an "H"?

AUGUST HEIST?

thanks again..

Alessio
