Re: Post your death notices
"In January, 1944 the Langemarck and elements of Das Reich were encircled by Soviet forces near Zhitomir. Despite this, they fought their way out of the kessel (cauldron), suffering heavy casualties and losing the majority of their heavy equipment and vehicles. By early March, the brigade had been reduced to 400 men. At the end of April, the shattered Langemarck was ordered back to Bohemia for reforming."

Re: Post your death notices
I have seen that one for sale a few times, they died near Leningrad (Myasnoi Bor, if I recall it correctly). Dark cardboard paper.
Obviously there were a lot of cards printed for every person, but the frequency with which this one comes to the market makes me a bit suspicious.

Great cards, and good job finding this old thread!!
Here is a new one of mine:
Obergefreiter Josef Reeb
He was part of the fighting in North Afrika (Libya), with Panzer Regiment 8 (as seen on his straps). He was wounded on May 2, 1942....and died 22 days later on May 24th in Cyrenaica (Berqa), buried in Tobruk.
