Generalmajor Hugo Ribstein

[Laurens]

Hello,

Is there someone who can tell me anything about the death of Generalmajor Hugo Ribstein in December 1941? From October 1940 untill his death, he was commander of the 81. Infanterie-Division. I am curious if he died from enemy actions, illness or any other cause.

Thank you in advance,
Laurens

Illness, can't find much on the way details.

from Lexikon der Wehrmacht: "Am 8. Dezember 1941 gab er sein Kommando wegen einer schweren Erkrankung ab. An dieser ist er dann nur wenige Wochen später in der Heimat gestorben."
