Does anyone know what the initial letters and envelopes looked like that were sent to German families to officially notify them of a soldier's death? Also, can anyone provide me with a translation of one of the death cards? I am writing a book set in Austria towards the end of WW2 and would like to find out as much info as possible! Thank you very much.

Eines muss man trotz allem den Nazis lassen: sie hatten elegante Uniformen, finde ich. Auch wenn es womöglich noch eine andere Art von Propaganda war.

Many people in the USA want to know about the family they left in Europe. These cards can help locate the town the family lived in or where they moved. Using the information provided is not approving their actions. Viele Menschen in den USA wissen wollen über die Familie sie links in Europa. Diese Karten können Sie die Stadt in der Familie lebte, oder wenn sie verschoben werden. Mit Hilfe der zur Verfügung gestellten Informationen nicht zur Genehmigung ihres Handelns.

Bitte verteidigt diesen Soldaten nicht; er wurde einer Gehirnwaesche unterzogen und verhielt sich wie ein Roboter. Diese gehirnlose Killermaschine wurde trainiert Befehle auszufuehren, bis er bei Stalingrad ein Rueckschlag erlitt und erst dort merkte, dass er kein Uebermensch mehr war! Die Deutschen haben bekommen, was sie verdient haben. Naechstes Mal sollten die Deutschen zweimal darueber nachdenken bevor sie einen Fusstapfen auf fremdes Land setzen.

The making of Death Cards was a common practice, particularly for catholics in Germany during the 19th and 20th century. When a person died the family would commission these cards to let family and friends know of the death.
