Hi,
I recently acquired this card in among a large collection. Being black bordered I immediately think it is related to a death card of some sort? Maybe I am wrong?
Any translation help would be massively appreciated!

Hi,
Thanks very much for this. This has a lot more information on it than I had thought. Is there any way I can find out more about this soldier?

Thank you. I never seen that site before which is very useful for some more research!
Indeed I think I may have found him. There is only one soldier by this name who died in 1941 in total. They list him as death 1.1.1941 which seems the generic date they use on all records where they dont know the exact month and day. They also list Stalingrad. Very interesting.
