[spaltring]

hello
On behalf of a friend i am searching what happened with
Max Wiechoczek,
I have only this he was with the Wehrmacht and is still listed as MIA probably kia in russia, his nationality is Polish
i am looking for his unit and whatever can be found any tips ;advice is mostly welcome

There is no Max listed as MIA or so on the Volksbund. But unless you come up with date of birth/place of birth/date of MIA or KIA/Fp-number etc. it will be very hard to find anything about him.

Hello.

There is an Obergefreiter Walter Wiechoczek listed on the Volksbund,He is born in Peiskretscham, Polen, 01.04.1919 . He was KIA at 04.04.1942 in Koj-Assern.

And Obergefreiter Walter Wiechoczek is presumably buried att the war cemetery in Sewastopol as an unknown Soldier. If I have read out the German text correct.

"Walter Wiechoczek ist vermutlich als unbekannter Soldat auf die Kriegsgräberstätte in Sewastopol - Sammelfriedhof (Ukraine) überführt worden."


Maybee this is Your Max ? often the dead solldiers can bee registered under an other "first name" ( the second first name ) on the Volksbund Arcives.

Best Regards

Not everyone is in the data base, if he was a Polish national or Volksdeutsch from Silesia etc. there may not be enlistment records etc. The WASt would be the best bet.
