Death card translation
Hi, I was just wondering if anyone can translate this death card for me. I would try it myself but the old style letters on these cards make it very hard for beginners to translate.

I am very tired, but I will try anyways. Correct me if I am wrong.
The heros death did I die,
have aquired myself the best,
In God's had rests every gift,
I lie in Russia's cold grave.
The bullet hit me well,
but to warriors/brave heaven stands open.
Mother and sister of mine,
include me in your prayers,
forget your Johann not,
who in enemy territory buried lies.
The will of God has happened,
In heaven we will meet once again.
