Looking for Tessin's Info on 251st I.D., 459th I.R.

[J. Buck]

Hello, I am trying to locate names of living men from this unit, which was my great uncle's unit . Unfortunately he was killed on July 28th, 1944, after serving 4 years in it as a Feldwebel at the age of 24. The purpose of this is to be able to correspond with them about my uncle and the circumstances of his death. I know Tessin's has lots of names of men in that unit (a good starting point), if someone could just make a copy of the pages with those names, and possibly fax it to me(631-277-7833) I could start my search. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, J. Buck

Here are some additional suggestions for your reserach:

1. General information.

2. You should consider (and you may already have done this) to contact WASt in Berlin and secure the information on you uncle. This might provide you details about the circumstances of his death.
