Hi Santi.
Here is the information for one of the soldiers.
Name: Joachim Fischbach
Rank: Leutnant der Reserve
Birth Date: 22 December 1913
Birth Place: Niesbaden-Bieberich
Military Unit: 9./Kompanie Infanterie Regiment 87
Death Date: 14 June 1940
Death Place: Straße Zwischen Bethincourt und Malancourt (road berween Bethincourt and Malancourt)
His cause of death is noted as Gefallen: Infanterie Geschuß Kopf (Killed in action: Infantry shot head)
Joachim Fischbach is buried in the military cemetery in Andilly, France.
Endgrablage: Block 15 Reihe 7 Grab 522.
It looks like Joachim may have been posthumously promoted to Oberleutnant according to his Volksbund entry.
Unfortunately I couldn't positively identify Obergefreiter Messner.
Kind regards
Will.
