Any researchers?

German Veterans, vet accounts, MIA searches, KIA info, and on relatives who served.

Any researchers?

Post by pmodesti »

I have not been on here in a while as I got very frustrated in my search to find my uncle who died in WW2 while fighting for the Germans.

I am wondering if anyone knows of someone that specializes in researching lost/missing German Soldiers.

Preferably speaks/writes English.

Thanks.

Hello

You already contacted the WAST?

Yes- nothing was found. He was a Romanian recruited in the army. We have scant details of what may have happened but nothing concrete.

Thanks

Well if the WAST does not have something it is extremely difficult to find something. Most probably there is nothing to find.
I do not have experience researching romanian conscripts but maybe there is a romanian authority in this matter. I will ask around.
What kind of information do you have until now? Every little bit is important to start searching.

Christoph-
Thank you for the reply. I am currently on vacation but as soon as I get home I will get you some detailed information that I have. I appreciate your willingness to help. It really means a lot to me as I would like to give my mother some closure.

I will be in touch soon.

Thanks.

Place of birth is a good start. City/Town Hall/Church.
