; a little more............................................. ......Surroundings of Piatek - September 1939.
Two days remained the battalion (I./ IR 6) in Walkowice and on September 15, 1939, the Kp Führer (acting cmdr) in a truck marched with the Hauptfeldwebel and eight men of the company (3./ IR 6) By Slugi once more towards the battlefield to verify the terrain. The fallen comrades were not found, in those two days the enemy had discarded them. Some 30 comrades were buried in a common grave in the cemetery of Piatek. Among them the cmdr of the regimental howitzer company (13./ IR 6), a SA Obergruppenführer (Joachim Meyer-Quade), the Hauptmann of the 7./ IR 6 and a Leutnant of artillery. These last three were buried in a recent grave. From another comrade the Hauptfeldwebel received 17 dogtags of fallen men from the company and in a rural house were found payment and identity books (soldbuch).................
