Son of the Town Major who went missing on the Russian Front. He was a Medic and was posted to Fp Nr – 05815 – Kr Transport Abt 582 before he went missing. His original unit was San Abt 13. His father attempted to find out information on him as he never reported to home in a long time… sadly the Wehrmacht Medic is still missing on the Eastern Front.
