Hello,

Would this be the same individual killed in 1944, Warsaw?

Johann Dorring...

No. The rank is an army rank, the Feldpost Number is an army unit (Inf.Rgt 21) and the name is spelt differently with your man's name having a double r.

Thanks Huck!
Assumed just that the rank Schutz would be connected to an SS rank...

Hello,
Both the Heer and the Waffen-SS used the term Schütze. In the Wehrmacht Heer it was discontinued in 1942 and was replaced by Grenadier. I don't know if it was also discontinued in the WSS, but i did own a M42 helmet from the WSS that was found in Normandy in August 1944 and that bears the rank SS Schütze and a name...
Thanks
