[harryamb2]

a great set well done saving it.

[Gunny Hartmann]

According to the online database of the Volksbund Deutsche Kriegsgräberfürsorge [German War Graves Commission], he died in the Kriegs-Lazarett 6/627 [Wartime Field Hospital 6/627] at Kowel in the Ukraine and was buried in Kowel.

Great information!......

does any one know if the graves are still up in kowel or if the bodies was moved somewhere else ?

According to the Volksbund database, the body was not or not yet moved to one of its official war graveyards.

It does not say whether the grave as such is still marked and where its exact location is or whether this is even known.

(Very likely, none of the above.)

horrible thought everyone deserves a grave

horrible thought everyone deserves a grave

That is undoubtedly true, but not all soldiers get one. More often than not there is nothing left to bury.

A nice grouping friend. Glad you found it and kept it together.

[Kevin Grootaers]

That's a very nice grouping.
