I wanted to locate the grave of Richard Hey but in the Volksbund liste are listed 6 Richard Hey.
Without further information I am unable to find that one whose grave we see on the pic.

Thanks

Hi Gerdan,

Thanks for the translations. The officer in the portrait was apparently on Crete as that's what Kreta means. What rank was he, can you tell? With the officer's grave 'could not be found till today', what does that mean? With the pioneer's grave, it looks like it's winter. Of the 6 Richard Hey's, how many were killed in wintertime?


Regards,
John

when I wrote that the grave "could not be found today" I mean the Volksbund did research in finding the grave and bringing the body to a new installed war cemetery to rebury it there.
Often nobody knows the today grave site because the war went over that area and a lot of graves have been destroyed.

grave location

Hi Gerdan,

I understand now. They tried to find the grave to relocate it, but were unable to find it.

Panzerman

Here's a panzer man with what looks like a tool. What does it say just below his knee?
