I'm searching for information on a soldier who was an "unteroffizier"
and died in Rshew (Rzhev), Russia in 1942. I already know where he is
buried, but I would like to find out what unit he was assigned to and
any military information available. Where should I start?

Ich suche information ueber ein soldaten der war ein unteroffizier und
war in Rshew (Rzhev), gesterben in 1942. Ich weis schon wo er begraben
ist, aber ich wurde militaerish information finden. Wo sollte ich

Hoeffentlich koennen Sie alles verstehen.

Some time ago I needed information for my family tree on my brother
Hans-Juergen Becker,
who has been missing in action on the Eastern front since early 1945. They
told me that Leutnant Hans-Juergen Becker of the 214. Infantry Division,
born 1/2/1924 in Hamburg/Germany, has been missing since January 15, 1945
in the area RADOM in the Weichselbogen (bend of the river Wistula in
Poland).

(The more information you can furnish, such as Feldpostnummer et cetera, the
easier and faster will be their search)

Tschuess !
