I'm just looking for suggestions on identifying a person. My family moved here from Germany in the 60's. My mother told me of an Aunt who was married to an SS General (probably not, but that's how the story goes). Basically, her aunt and the SS person took poison toward the end of the war. Recently, after doing some casual genealogy, I came across a police report for my aunt. The document listed carbon monoxide poison as the cause of death, but listed her as single. My mom talked to other family members and they swear she was married. I was hoping to find out who she married, but this kind of puts things into question.

as you see your aunt was listed in the death certificate with her family name Dettmann which was
also the name of her parents because they referre to her birth certificate Standesamt (Hamburg)
Rahlstedt Nr. 9 / 1916.
If she would have been married when she died she would have had the family name of her
husband. So it was the law in Germany. And the Registration office (Standesamt) received also
the information on her birth certificate. When a person was married the Standesamt of the
marriage had to give this Information (of the marriage) directly the Stasndesamt of the birth
place and a note had to be made on the birth entry giving information where (which Standesamt
in which year and under which registration number) the marriage took place.
Nothing of all happened to your aunt's entry. The original Standesamt documents from all
Hamburg Registration Offices survived the war and had been present when she died.
So you can be sure that she was not married.

Reichpaper, sorry I had a problem with my PC - so I did not write your correct name.
Also the last line in my answer has to be deleted.
Example for an marriage entry in the birth certificate (4):

normally in the death certificate are named both parents father and mother.
In your case it seems that the mother did not give the name of the baby, not
even in the birth certificate.
A mother can not be forced to give the name of the
child's father. So it seems to be in your case.
A very tragic situation.
