Translation help needed!

[PerMilitaria]

I need to translate this text. I know it is something about a new grave for "Wolfg. v. Di.", but which one?

Thanks!

1. grave of Wolfgang v. Di., later reburied to Elm near Bous(e), district Saarlouis.

[PerMilitaria]

Many thanks!

Sad I can't find him on Volksbund...

[Simon O.]

That is quite normal for those reburied in civilian cemeteries in Germany. Something that happened quite often with officers early in the war.

[PerMilitaria]

Ok! Thanks for letting me know!

I think "v. Di." is an abbreviated family name.

Could you give us the exact family name ? It seems that he came from a German noble family ("von" ).

It's a grouping I was interested in buying. His full name is Wolfgang von Ditterich. KIA in France 1944 from a direct hit by a tank.

[Gerdan]

You are right. Not even with his full name you can find him listed in the Volksbund list.

Of course, because you looking for wrong person.
His correct name is : Wolfgang Edler von Dittrich v. u. z. Erbmannszahl

[Gerdan]

I took the name as given from PerMilitaria.

With the correct name it fits.
