Can any kind person confirm the following casualties, many thanks, Paul

[hucks216]

Nachname - Krammes
Vorname - Alois
Dienstgrad - Schütze
Geburtsdatum - 07.03.1923
Geburtsort - Wadgassen
Todes-/Vermisstendatum - 05.06.1942
Todes-/Vermisstenort - Osts. d. Bahndammes Wosched

Alois Krammes ruht auf der Kriegsgräberstätte in Sologubowka. Endgrablage: Block 1 Reihe 46 Grab 2995

There are three Wilhelm Pichler's listed for 1945 so you will need to narrow it down abit. One was killed in East Prussia at some time after 01.01.1945 which would fit in with Pz.Gren.Division Brandenburg. He is MIA. I have the Vermisstenbildliste for the Brandenburg Division so if you can narrow it down (i.e. particular Kompanie, Btl or Rgt) I will have a look to see if there is a picture of him.

There are three Pichler's listed in the Vermisstenbildliste for II/Regiment 2 - unfortunately there are no photos for any of the three. Wilhelm isn't listed but there is a Franz Pichler listed and just to confuse matters it lists him with a different date of birth.

Pichler, Franz
27.01.1918
Südtirol
Uffz
Albanien 07.1944

The other two are named as Alois & Josef with Josef also listed as being from Südtirol with a date of birth of 15.11.1919. He is listed as MIA from 10.1944, area not listed.
