Hello,

list of LSSAH casualty in Greece 1941, which put @j keenan in post on 14. Jan 2013 was pretty exact for the document which was available in that time.

The only problem is that some of this casulties was occured on territory of Kingdom of Yugoslavia, so in "Jugoslawienfeldzug" (the invasion of Yugoslavia, also known as the April War or Operation 25). Of course invasion of Yugoslavia was part of "Balkanfeldzug" (invasion of Yugoslavia and Greece).
Problem is, that casualties was given for German forces normaly only as Balkans campaign (so Yugoslavia and Greece).

To find which casualties from @j keenan list was occour in West Macedonia (Yugoslavia, today North Macedonia) is not so easy.
From this @j keenan list (102 soldiers) was occour casualties on territory of Yugoslavia for some 5 % of them fallen on 10.4.1941 but for sure for:

Sieber Fritz Friedrich Andreas, SS-Rttf. I./A.R.L.A.H., fallen on 10.4.1941 on road Prilep-Bitolj (Monastir), buried between km 82 and km 83 along road Prilep-Bitolj (NARA T354R224, Nr. 3892019).

Hello,

we do not need to control all soldiers list "LSSAH casualties in Greece 1941".

Problem is only the first day of entrance of LSSAH in Greece on 10.4.1941 and maybe 11.4.1941.

@ltcolonel put on site mycity-military.com theme about German casualties in April war in Yugoslavia (in serbian language: Nemački gubici u aprilskom ratu (1941).
link: https://www.mycity-military.com/Drugi-s ... -ratu.html

This list is for two days: 10.4.1941 and 11.4.1941.
@ltcolonel (= Nebojsa Dokic, war historian) claim, that all soldiers LSSAH from list 10.4.1941 died for sure (100%) in Yugoslavia because of fighting wit Yugoslav Army. For those fallen on 11.4.1941 said:with high probability died because of fighting with Yugoslav Army.

We must control only the soldiers from this two days: 10.4.1941 and 11.4.1941 if they really fallen in Action against Yugoslav Army:

Already solved by @Peter:

Krischik, Egon, d.o.b. 25.9.20, Died of wounds 10.4.41, 5/LAH, SS-Mann

Egon Krischik
SS-Mann
born 25 Sep 1920 at Kirchdornberg Bielefeld
With 5 Kp/LSSAH
Died 10 Apr 1941 of burns
at Marina/Griechenland

So Krischik Egon was not fallen with the Yugoslav Army but in Greece.
He will stay in list "LSSAH casualties in Greece 1941".

Already solved by @filigranofil:

Sieber Fritz Friedrich Andreas, SS-Rttf. I./A.R.L.A.H., fallen on 10.4.1941 on road Prilep-Bitolj (Monastir), buried between km 82 and km 83 along road Prilep-Bitolj (NARA T354R224, Nr. 3892019).

Yes, Nebojsa Dokic is right, Sieber Fritz Friedrich was fallen in fight with Yugoslav Army.
