    Hello gentlemen,
    I need your help to determine if possible the unit of SS soldiers who fell during the Battle of Normandy and of which I have the obituary.

    Josef Dorfner fell on July 2, 1944 in Tournay sur Odon. He rests in La Cambe. Perhaps he belonged to Frundsberg or Hohenstaufen?

    Albert Dostler fell on July 6, 1944 in Grainville sur Odon probably during the fighting on Hill 112. Perhaps the Hohenstaufen in view of the dates and the place?

    Josef Egger fell on July 5, 1944 in the South-West of Carentan and who belonged to a pioneer unit. He rests in the cemetery of Orglandes. I imagine rather the Gotz von Berlichingen?

    Max Gastinger fell on June 22 (according to the volksbund) or July 16, 1944 (according to the sterbebild) at "Le Colombien" (perhaps it is the village of La Colombe in the Manche department) . He rests in the cemetery of Marigny.

    Sterbebild of Matthäus Hoffer fell on June 14, 1944 in "Vaigres" (I don't see at all what this place can correspond to). In view of the dates I suppose that he belonged to the Götz or to the Hitlerjugend. He rests in the cemetery of Mont-de-Huisnes.

    Sterbebild of Josef Holzapfel fell on July 9, 1944 at "la Surenerie" in the area of ​​La Haye du Puits. In view of the epaulets perhaps a former Leibstandarte transferred to the Hitlerjugend. He is buried in the Cambe cemetery.

    Hello,

    I tried searches under various names for each man on Fold3, but I could not find a casualty card for any of them. Ran death locations when applicable in order to get a guess at what some of their units were. Only one I could find was Alois Putzinger may have been in SS-Panzer-Grenadier-Regiment 37 or SS-Flak-Abteilung 17 based on other casualties in Mortain. I saw a handful of men from the flak abteilung killed here during the second week of August. The Panzer Grenadier Regiment had a couple dozen casualty cards from Mortain between July 20 and August 11.
    Someone else may find more answers for you.

    Ben

    Good evening ,

    Thank you for your messages. The sterbebild presented here are those for which I have not found any information on the volksbund or my ancestry so that is why the search is more difficult.

    Best regards

    A very interesting collection Pierre-Antoine. Purely on the location and date I would suggest #1
    Josef Dorfner might have belonged to Frundsberg, specifically II Abteilung of SS Pz Rgt 10 as this unit was tasked with the assault along the Odon.
