Double Deathcard!!!
Hello! I need some help researching this deathcard I have. I have not been able to find the locations "Toblinka, Russia" and "Totmegjer, Hungary" I have seen this card elsewhere online but I want to gather all the info on these brothers here! This is what I have so far:
--Alfons Huber
Gefreiter in a PAK unit/ anti-tank detachment
Born febuary 6th 1924
Died July 30th 1943
Buried in Hero's cemetary Toblinka, Russia
--Josef Huber
Unteroffizier in a assault gun detachment
Holder of the EK and Wound badge
Born March 5th 1922
Died March 27th 1945
Buried in Hero's cemetery Totmegjer, Hungary
--Could this be a cemetery for soldiers fallen in the fighting for the Lake Balaton oilfields at the end of the war?
I understand the death cards don't give much information on the soldier's unit or history. I'm still interested in finding any information left on these guys.
Corrections and comments welcome!!
-Thanks

Tot Megyer is now called Palarikovo, Slovakia.
Considering date of death I think Toblinka was a small railroad station in the area of attack of 106.ID during Kursk battle.

South of Belgorod. The name probably has been changed.

Re: Double Deathcard!!!
Sadly there were lots of funerals at the time of the Kursk battle, so i guess i understand the typo!
Thanks to both of you for your fast informative replies. I will try and return the favor anytime I can.
