Kia / mia stalingrad letters

[wehrpasswilly]

Hi fellow collectors, just looking for some advice. Just bought a job lot of letters, written both war & post war in regard to solders either KIA/MIA to their next of kin. Within the group are 2 letters in regard to Stalingrad fighters (post war) which after a quick decipher advise that their family member has passed on (ones dated 1950 and the other 1956 !!!). Could anyone give me any idea as to their worth due to the Stalingrad connection? Thanks in advance, regards Paul

Depends on unit, content of the letters, etc. Most KIA/MIA notifications are simply form letters with the name of the MIA soldier inserted, and they are not particularly valuable.
