Panzergrenadieren Suditalien1943

  • Hi all, i am a new member and i am looking for soldier fallen in Salerno in september 1943 (names,surnames, ID Disk matricular number, date of KIA/MIA and unit); in particularly i am an amateur historian and i want to find german soldiers without a grave (British and US soldiers are very few or there aren't, because the allies recovered their deads).
    I was enchanted when i read the story of Wilhelm Heschnauer, a soldier died in 1943 and found in 2008 by the "associazione Salerno 1943", and i'm trying to find a picture of this soldiers (a Hermann Goring Division's panzergrenadier).
    Same applies to Obergefreiter Walter Prochel (gefallen 18.09.1943 in Salerno), a machinegunner found by the same association in 2012.
    They have found on June 18th 2016 in Pellezzano (north of Salerno, better known as Point 270) a panzergrenadier of the 50 infanterie bataillon (matricular number 5459).
    I think that he was a soldier of 160 Panzergrenadier Regiment (if someone know about this soldier through the Wast write me ::!::!::!: )

  • I know that is impossible (find photos of these soldiers) but somebody can tell me the Pows, KIA,MIA in the battle of Altavilla 1943 (Panzergrenadier regiment 15 and 71) and the casualties (KIA,MIA and so on) in the battle of Point 270 (Pellezzano; the Coldstream attacked panzergrenadier regiment 29)?
