      John,

      indeed the unit of Hans Geffken is listed in the last line but very difficult to read. (14.....Komp.... .(mot).

      May be you have a chance to read it better from the original pic. Try it.

        14. Fla. Inf. 60 (mot)

              Geffken grave

              Hi Bernd,Gerdan,

              Thanks for your help. So it would seem that Hilde went a winery in a French castle with another girl named Hilde. Interesting. Below I've enlarged Geffken's grave marker. Maybe you can make it out now. It looked like his grave was surrounded by shell casings.

                It does seem to be 14 Fla Kompanie 60th Motorized Infantry Regiment. What would Fla. stand for and does anyone know anything about the 60th Regiment? They were obviously fighting in Southern Russia when Hans was killed.

                    Fla means Flak (anti-aircraft)

                    And a site in german, but You can see were they fought:

                          Hans Geffken

                          Hi Bernd,

                          Thanks for the link to Hans' unit. Now it makes sense that he was a gun chief. He was in a Wehrmacht flak unit.

                            Hello, a loose translation would be o.k.
                            It's from the inside cover of an Aulslander i.d. book.
                            Thankyou.

                              It says:

                              Notice!
                              When the holder of this work book leaves Reichs territory, the work book is to be immediately returned to the appropriate labor office by the firm's manager.
