Even thought the death date is different, I’d say this is the casualty card for Fritz.

Here is a list I’ve put together of nicknames that are sometimes encountered on death cards.

Alfons = Alfred
Anderl = Andreas
Engelb = Engelbert
Fritz = Friedrich
Hans/Hansl = Johann
Heini = Heinrich
Heinz = Heinrich
Jos = Josef
Lugw = Ludwig
Max = Maximilian
Pepi/Peppi = Josef/Joseph
Piet = Petrus
Rup = Rupprecht
Sepp = Josef/Joseph
Wastl = Sebastian

This 2 panel death card is in memory of Rudi Hennermann, a Gefreiter in 6 Komany Schutze Regiment 10. He was born on April 17, 1914 in Salzburg and appears to have died from a shrapnel wound to his left (not 100% sure what that third abbreviation is) foot on December 28, 1941. He had been awarded the EK II, and prior to the war had been an Obertruppfuhrer in the RAD.
