And was hoping someone may be able to give me more information about the units and what they actually say.

Thank you in advance!

Panzer Werkstatt-Kompanie 27 seemed to be a part of 17.Panzer-Division. DoD fits with fighting near Sandomierz-Baranów bridgehead.
Unfortunately closest Marcelin seems to be more than 100km away, but I'm not sure about location of subunits on the 10th of October.

Here's the second index card yellow WW:

D.O.B.: 17. JUL 1920 in Ober-Issigheim / Hanau
Unit: Stab Pion. Batl. 112

Killed in Action A.E.K (?)

The death was officially registered on 25. MAY 44 by the registry office in Darmstadt.

Location of grave: Hero cemetery Bolchow Row 13, Field II, single grave No. 12.

Remark:
Gorodischtsche is a common name in Russia. So based on his unit and the war cemetery Bolchow, this is Gorodischtsche (Oblast Orjol).

Best regards

Thank you! This is amazing!

Any change you would be able to tell me what the following abbreviations mean? I don't know that much about German military organization. Though I did try to give it a go:

Stab Pion. Batl. 112 (? Pionier Battalion 112)
Pion. Ers. Batl. 33 (Pionier Ersatz-Battalion 33)
2. Komp. Gren. Rgt. 306 (2nd Company Grenadiers, 306th Regiment)
Gren. Ers.u.Ausb. Btl. 306 Venlo Holland (Grenadiers Ersatz ?? 306th Battalion)
10./AR 269 (?)
Stab/Gr. Rgt. 870 (870th Grenadier Regiment)
500 2./Art. E.Abt. 187 (Artillery ??)

Thanks again in advance!

Hi,

You will find a lot of information here, but need an online translator, If you can't read German:

Stab Pion. Batl 112 = HQ Pioneer Battalion 112
Ersatz=Replacement

http://www.lexikon-der-wehrmacht.de/Gli ... t112-R.htm

http://www.lexikon-der-wehrmacht.de/Gli ... /GR306.htm

http://www.lexikon-der-wehrmacht.de/Gli ... R870-R.htm

http://www.lexikon-der-wehrmacht.de/Gli ... /AR269.htm

http://www.lexikon-der-wehrmacht.de/Gli ... /AR220.htm

These are the units, where your relatives served. The mentioned replacement units were the responsible units to provide personal replacements.

For example WW served in HQ/Pion. Btl. 112. The unit responsible for personal replacements was Pionier Ersatz Bataillon 33.
His Dog-Tag was the 5033rd issued by 4.Kp./(MG) E.Kp.115.
