Official thread for my German ancestors research
Need help knowing what a set of numbers mean on his war grave. Here's a picture of his grave post war. I'm confused by the numbers 549.533. Might this be an identification number for a unit? It shows his birth date in 7.10.00 and his death in 25.10.45, after the war. Does this mean he was a pow? Anyways here's the photos. (Btw I'll have all of my other info I learned transferred to here by a mod and have useless stuff not included).
Here's the back

Got information from my mom telling me Karl died after the war in a POW-camp.
Well...the plaque on his cross looks like a POW camp tag, so it is likely when he died, they simply used his tag to mark his grave cross with.

Update: Having Mike from westmoreland research looking into Josef's military careeer before Skanderbeg. Should have results in 1-2 weeks.
Update: Talked with Mike from Westmoreland but after he said he would start the research soon, I never got a reply back from him. Its been 6 months.
Best of luck with your search...keep looking, you'll find something! Bob
