Re: Post your death notices
Some sad stories there indeed.
The highly decorated aviator Wolfgang Roos died in a fatal flight accident only 12 days after his wedding.
Paul Roos was transferred from the submarine service to be trained on assault guns. He sustained head injuries in a blasting exercise leading to his death from meningitis on 30 May 1945, when the war in Europe was already over.
A pilot and aspiring aviation engineeer, Karl Roos was killed in action "in the early morning hours of Mothers' Day" 1943 and buried in English soil.
None of them lived past their early twenties.

Ive posted these a while ago, but they belong here for organizations sake.
Ive always been moved by this one.....
Feldwebel Josef Ackermann was in Infanterie Regiment 95.
In the fighting East of the Volga, Josef fell while attacking Gorodi-Schjtse on November 1, 1941. He was the first to burst into the village occupied by the Soviets and was seriously wounded by a shot through the chest. He was brought to a Field Hospital where he would die 2 days later on November 3rd.
* Oberleutnant Nolly says "I'm losing my best Platoon Leader, who had already earned the IAB and EK for his actions in Borowno-See, Poland."
He is now buried in Tver (Kalinin)

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
