Wurst Richard, 18.03.1916, Lt. d. R., -, -, 12.09.1939, VB
According to diary of Oskar Weitbrecht, evangelic priest from Bad Mergentheim, quoted in THIS article, "Leutnant Richard Wurst aus Bad Mergentheim" must have been a Zugführer in III./I.R. 55.

Edit: he could have been in 10. Kompanie. From the same article:
Tatsächlich sind auf dem Friedhof von Solka Wielka neben 120 polnischen Soldaten 95 deutsche vom Infanterie Regiment 55 beerdigt. 76 gehörten zum Mergentheimer Bataillon, 56, also der überwiegende Teil, zur 10. Kompanie. Von diesen stammten 15 aus dem Kreis Mergentheim, fünf aus Bad Mergentheim, vier aus Elpersheim, je einer aus Edelfingen, aus Igersheim, aus Laudenbach, aus Pfitzingen, aus Stuppach und aus Weikersheim.
Scan of his obituary (below) comes from the same article (as per 2014-10-15).

Hello,

I've a new case from GHdA (2009, p.529) that isn't on the list so far:

Oberleutnant
Friedrich-Karl Ludwig von Watzdorf
* 10.11.1916 Rotental (= Czerwentzütz, County Ratibor, Upper Silesia)
+ 05.09.1939 KIA near Petrikau (Petrokow)*

*)
Petrikau = Piotrków Trybunalski, there was heavy fighting around this town that day involving Schützen-Regiment 1.
http://www.feldgrau.net/forum/viewtopic ... 30#p226920

Also Hans (123guderian) already had this about him:
Leutnant 01.04.37 von WATZDORF Friedrich-Karl 10.11.1916-05.09.1939 (Schützen Reg.1) Oberleutnant (01.09.39)

According to:

On 03.01.39 Leutnant von Watzdorf was a Zugführer in 5. Kompanie (schwere)

Albrecht Friedrich, 19.10.1888, Hptm., -, -, 11.09.1939 (Mszczonow) , VB
It seems it was he, who was the only KIA officer of le.Flak-Abt.83 in Poland.
It also seems that le.Flak-Abt.83 took part in quite known combat of Mszczonów.

Ploth Gottfried, 17.11.1917, Lt., -, -, 16.09.1939 (am Waldrand 2,5 km westl. Debsk), VB
He was an officer of A.A.(mot.) 4 from 1. Pz.Div.

And there is another officer from this unit KIA in Poland: Lt. Frhr. v. Harthausen
MIA on 5.9.1939 by Sulejów, but his death was confirmed later.
Unfortunatelly no confirmation in VB database.

Hello,

a second officer killed near Petrikau (Piotrków Trybunalski) on Sept 5th, 1939:

Oberleutnant d. R. Dr. Kurt Voß

http://anno.onb.ac.at/cgi-content/anno? ... =5&zoom=48

He's not on our list and there's no grave registered for him at http://www.volksbund.de. Here's a Wikipedia entry for him: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurt_Vo%C ... rnalist%29 . According to Leonhardt (2009, pp.84 ) who quotes from a death notice published in a Hanover newspaper Dr. Voß served in a regiment commanded by an 'Oberst Neumann'. That should make it easy to find out at least the regiment of Dr. Voss.
