Thank you for posting the Baumann brothers sterbebild Hohto. No Hollywood blockbuster to commemorate them but their loss was felt just as keenly. I've not seen one to four brothers before, a rarity and poignant too.

[toot]

a rairey indeed. I have never seen such a great amount of death in one family?

[toot]

4, complete generations gone. never to be again. what is the chance of that?

[McSeam]

I have this photo. It's not a death notice, it's rather a kind of memorial board.

[toot]

I wonder if they were all in the same unit? all being killed in RUSSIA.? and in JANUARY.

I wonder if they were all in the same unit? all being killed in RUSSIA.? and in JANUARY.

The feldpost number is only one, so the unit is the same. The place is the same as well: Dno-Beloshkino, Russia. The time: February 1942.

McSeam, thanks for the reply.

[Willmore]

Hi toot.

The Feldpost number relates to -

18807
(1.2.1941-11.7.1941) 3. Kompanie Luftwaffen-Bau-Bataillon 4/IV.

All the soldiers were from 3./Kompanie according to their casualty cards too.

Kind regards,

Will
