Post your death notices

[BlackCat1982]

From other losses listed it appears the 5./SS-Totenkopf-Infanterie-Regiment 1 were committed to action at Wasiljewstschina from 1st to 8th September 1941. I had wondered whether Willi had been an isolated casualty or one of several. There was not any others from the 5 Kompanie on 5th September. Although the heroes death of a shot to the head seems common.

Thank you for the information BlackCat, I appreciate it!

I’m wondering, are these lists you refer to online?

When I see the classic ‘quick death’, it always makes me wonder what ‘actually happened’ to the soldier.

Here are Heinrichs cards from Ancestry, by using a simple search you can find other casualties from the same engagement based upon date and location details, although not all records use common data.
