Thank you fiddlerslass - attached is an image of the man you have identified. He features in a number of photographs leading up to 1943. I am not sure what the comments read on the photo but either way I am very grateful for the help as the language barrier with the records has made it very difficult.

Regards

Thank you Fiddlerslass for the cemetery link. That answered a number of my questions.

In regards to Stariza H.V.Pl. Sanko. 2/293 do you have any idea what the HVPI Sanko 2/293 refers to? is that a military hospital or similar?

Once again many thanks for your assistance - I didn't think I would get this far

Regards

Europe / German records for WW2 soldier Killed in Action 1943 - Johann STADLER

I am hoping for some assistance to try and find a record of a German soldier killed in action in 1943 to help an associates with their family history .

All I know is that his name was Johann (Hans) STADLER. STADLER was said to be born on 6 December 1918 in Austria and was from the  Guttenbrunn. He joined the Wehrmacht early in WW2. He is said to have won the Iron Cross before being killed on the Eastern Front (Russia) in 1943. He had one son in 1941.

I have tried Ancestry however the records are in German and blanked out as I don't have the German subscription (nor can I read German).

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

All the best

Not sure where to start with this

Seeking some assistance to possibly narrow down what branch of the German military this soldier served with. Only information provide with the photo was he was Austrian  who was killed on the Eastern Front. No name known. I can't read the writing on the back but appears to be 1941. On the left shoulder the numerals / number 13? appear to be on top.

Any clues would be greatly appreciated

Thank you Crumblie - not as straight forward as I though it would be.
