Hi Jan.
I have looked for a casualty card but unfortunately I couldn't find one.
I have seen a lot of death/missing dates for soldiers who fell at Stalingrad recorded as 01.01.1943 and assume that it is because nobody actually knows their actually death date.
Here is his Volksbund entry -
Name: Adam Kopp
Date of birth: 08.01.1921
Place of birth -
Death/missing date: 01.01.1943
Death/missing place@ Stadt Stalingrad
Service rank -
According to the information available to us, Adam Kopp is missing.

Kind regards,

I also came up empty in the search for Adam Kopp’s casualty card. The lastest dated casualty cards from the Abteilung I found were on December 29th. There is decent info to be found on these ones. After that the cards only say fallen aufgang Jan 1943 at Stalingrad. No causes of death or burial locations listed.
I did find a trace of him through another route which should be of use to you. The photo of him should bring more life to his story and his lost struggle at Stalingrad.
From the missing list of 1. Schwadron/ Aufklärungs-Abteilung 100 (vorher Radfahr-Abteilung 100)
Adam was a car mechanic before the war. A Westphalian from Neurath outside Grevenbroich.
Regards, Ben

Will's input is completely in line with my own research experience.

Thank you so much for your kind help guys.
A special thanks to you Ben for finding the photo of Adam (during happier times) as well as the additional information. It definitevely adds to the story when you are able to put a face on items like Feldpost letters.
Best, Jan
