Offenbach Soldat hilfe

[PzGren4345]

ok. vielen danke. It is a strange case because we have a object... but there are buttons of feldbluse, why there isn't the body? and if he was captured, why in 1960's he was still missing? I think that: he is still on the hill or he was found by Mutter der Toten/Mamma Lucia Apicella and he is a unbekannte in Cassino or Pomezia

For all German people with relatives still missing in Italy.. well, they can ask my help.

I have found a picture of the house Körnerstraße 19. It was built in 1907:

And I think I've found Karl's parents:
Karl Ernst Wilhelm Roth, born 8.10.1877 in Zeilhard, Kreis Dieburg died 11.5.1955 in Offenbach, Körnerstraße 19!!!
He was a "Rektor" means kind of director of a school
He was married with Adelheid Luise Klotilde Köhler

The Grandparents were Ludwig Roth, a teacher, died in Groß-Zimmern, Kreis Dieburg
and Anna Maria Kühn, died in Groß-Zimmern, Kreis Dieburg



I'll try to find more.....

Hello,

Karl´s probable parents married in Frankfurt Main Oct 5, 1911. no other information on children, Klotilde´s death etc.
One witness was Friedrich Roth, teacher, 35 yrs, living in Sprendlingen, maybe Karl´s uncle.

Regards,

Thomas

wow he had a big house

[PzGren4345]

He was a unteroffizier and according Rangers many german unterofficers were killed by snipers during a fight on 16.9.43 but i can't say the date certainly because i have only the information "Sept. 1943"

[PzGren4345]

it is a strange case... we have a name, a photo but there isn't a grave or a document on him. I ask on this forum because a soldier must not disappear into nothingness

[PzGren4345]

I think he have relatives because usually they asked after the war to DRK and his photo is in the archive of DRK

[ulrike G.-W.]

No, it wasn't his own house. It was a kind of public building. The owner was the country "Hessen". Maybe it was a house that belonged to a school. Some of the other residents were teachers, too.
