Doug the date of birth and town of birth are the same and the Volksbund sometimes have SS ranks recorded as Heer , this also occurs in many of the Deutsche Soldaten Friedhof in particular those in the East where on the graves the ranks will be marked as Heer .If he was in fact an Obersturmfuhrer he may be in John Moore's Fuhrerliste , worthy of further investigation !
cheers

Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader

Hmmm.... wasn't Wiking in the Slavyansk area at the time of Fritz's death?
More likely the Winter posistions of the LAH as this Slavyansk is in the Ukraine not the one near to the Kuban . Forgot to mention there is only one Fritz Buhler in the database.

Paul I didn't even check the DOB and town on the post I simply looked at the rank....shows what an assumption means, make an ass...lol. Brilliant Paul, just brilliant and when I get home from work I will spend some time on this. Yes, this is the man certainly with matching DOB and town, no question. Thanks !

Thanks Doug, I should prob do a google on this, but... exactly how many years were these German Helmuts ( the classic shape) produced? ... post WWI , mid 30's to 1944? ... the devil is definately in the detail isnt it ... I doubt you still get any "surprises" these days?
Cheers mate
