[numizz]

Hello,

can you tell me more about this soldier?

How he died and other interesting information.

Thanks.

If you want more information about him then you need to show more pages, especially pages 1 to 3.

This link covers the first few months of Operation Barbarossa:
Lexikon der Wehrmacht

IR-229 was part of 101.leichte Infanterie-Division and this is a section of the Lage Ost map for the day he died, showing the division helping to form a bridgehead over the Dnieper River near Kremenchuk (Krementschug).

If you supply the name on first page then we can probably find a casualty card for him.

Sorry, couldn't contain myself, and also looking for something to to avoid working!

This was top of the list based upon unit, location and date:

Great detective work!

[BlackCat1982]

Thank you Willmore. Hardly that but hopefully the OP will post more pages to confirm or otherwise.

Here are rest of photos.

Can someone translate page 34.

Thank you for great work.

Here is his death card, so perhaps he did not die alone.

There are 6 other soldiers from III/Inf.Rgt 229 listed as being killed on the same day, one from Stab, two from 11.Kompanie, one from 12.Kompanie and two from 15.Kompanie - the last 5 all killed assaulting Höhe 82, south of Gawi although transcription on Ancestry might be hiding more.
