    Identified Heer Infantry lieutenant -- Fate?

    I've had this nice real-photo postcard of a young Heer officer for a while. I'm better at researching US soldiers; not German. Is there enough info here to determine any further info about this officer? It appears as though he was KIA.

    I really like the photo, with his bright new Infantry Assault Badge, and Iron Cross First Class badge. Would love to know more about his record.

    The only help I can give you is that the cross to the right of his name means he was already deceased when written.

      Since we know he died (the cross symbol), he is likely one of these two. There are a bunch of Karl Gutmann's listed, but these two are the only ones where the rank makes sense.

        A little easier than having to download and open a pdf.

        If he is one of these two it does suggest the photo was taken after the French campaign.

          Thanks. It took long enough to scroll through all of the WWII Gutmann's that by then I was pressed for time.
