Thanks for that, FrankieS.

This is almost certainly the man. My information is that he was 30 in 1940 and his home was East Prussia. This ties in with the Volksbund information.

Is a possible explanation of the discrepancy with the information kindly provided by Chris Goss that:

1. The award in February 1942 would have gone ahead whatever the fate of the recipient, and
2. If a man was missing but not definitely killed, his name would be retained on the Rangliste mentioned by Chris? (I don’t know – I am asking).
