Gerdan this is not the first time you have helped me,I remember you doing the same on an EK Award Doc i had!

Thanks so much for taking the time to find him

Ross,

P.s do you think his grave could have been dug up but he never had a "reburial"

I think often it is very difficult to identify the graves today after such a long time. During the war and also in the last years the whole area war disturbed and often the cemeteries are not any more to identify.
